FC Dallas is seeking the ultimate prize after lifting two trophies in 2016 but falling short of the MLS Cup.
2017 MLS SEASON PREVIEW
FC Dallas was close to its goal of winning a domestic treble last season but couldn't find the third trophy.
After winning the U.S. Open Cup and the Supporters' Shield, the Seattle Sounders cut short FCD's dream of lifting MLS Cup and winning all three trophies for the first time in history by beating coach Oscar Pareja's side in the conference semifinals.
Now, Pareja's men will look to strike again, with the key players back (though some recovering from injury) and new additions strengthening positions where the team lacked depth.
