Here's the latest news and notes about FC Dallas:
On the road again
For the first time ever under new coach Luchi Gonzalez, FC Dallas will go on the road in consecutive weeks. The road trips got off to a good start for FCD with a 4-2 win against Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium.
Gonzalez said he's looking to keep things as similar as he can to the atmosphere before a home game when the team travels to face the Philadelphia Union this weekend.
"We're not staying in a hotel the night before a home game, but we want to make sure the players are together, they're focused, they're being taken care of in terms of nutrition and logistics, the flight," Gonzalez said.
