About Big D Soccer
Welcome!
Big D Soccer is here to build a community of FC Dallas fans. This blog is nothing without the members, their opinions and their passion.
We were founded by Daniel Robertson back in 2009 (or so…we’re fuzzy on the dates). We joined the SB Nation blog network and immediately took off as one of the go-to spots for FC Dallas news and opinion.
But all of that changed in January 2023, when Vox Media / SB Nation cut many of their MLS-focused sites. That included Big D Soccer. We were obviously disappointed, but we have been determined not to let this be the end of our coverage.
The move
We’ve made a significant shift in our approach with our move to the Substack network. Honestly, it’s been a big step forward for Big D Soccer! As a subscriber, you’ll receive our posts directly in your inbox or through the SubStack App (which, by the way, we highly recommend downloading as soon as possible!).
All our game insights, coverage, interviews, and other content will be directly available on those two platforms as well as this website. We will continue to share links on our Twitter, but that hasn’t been a top priority since SubStack and Twitter have been engaged in a long-standing feud.
The best part of this move is the complete absence of corporate overlords and advertisements. No more intrusive giant ads that occupy your entire screen or ads that force you to scroll through them to reach the comments section. They’re all gone here, creating a clean and uncluttered experience.
Honestly, this is the ideal way sports coverage should have always been.
What you can expect
Every week, we’ll bring you every bit of FC Dallas news, analysis, and opinions we can. This includes pre-game discussions, lineup notes before kickoff, post-game follow-ups, and more. We’ll also feature interviews with coaches and players, as well as insights and opinions about our beloved team.
We will also work on covering North Texas SC and the FC Dallas academy teams as well (though we could use a little help in this area).
Lastly, we be doing Q&As with you, our readers. We want this to be a place where you can have a conversation with one another and with us about FC Dallas, North Texas SC, and Major League Soccer.
