We're in what is starting to feel like the final lap before the regular season begins. Just around a week and a half to go here before FC Dallas takes on Montreal.
Before we get started with the morning links, I want to direct your attention to our call for new writers post that was published last night. It is really important to me that we continue to grow this community into one of the best MLS blogs out there, and definitely the best FC Dallas related site on the web. I can only do that if we add more writers.
Anyways, time to get the day going with some links.
