New Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray doesn't suddenly hate the Seahawks. Luka Doncic's animosity toward the Spurs is just a fraction of that harbored by Mavs fans. Soccer is different. Rivalries go deeper.
FC Dallas players have been battling with the Houston Dynamo for state supremacy for years, many since the academy days. That has helped form a real bond with the club's supporters, who see the Texas Derby as the most important game on the schedule.
The typical professional relationships still exist between the two sides. Former FCD center back Maynor Figueroa is likely to start for the Dynamo in Saturday afternoon's matchup at BBVA Compass Stadium.
