Dashing: 30 April v Sky Blue FC

Posted on April 30, 2016 by Daniel (@MKNN)

There’s just not a lot to say about this game. The story of the night was about who wasn’t on the pitch, and not a lot of import happened on it. Sigh. See other writeups at Midfield Press, Dynamo Theory, … Continue reading →

Dashing: 12 August @ Seattle Reign FC

Dashing: 20 July @ FC Kansas City

There are really three summary points here Probably the most important is the 13,000+ in attendance. That is a huge number for the Dash, and while the will-they-won’t-they-play narrative was both a distraction and a disappointment, it is up to the … Continue reading →

Posted on June 21, 2015 by Daniel (@MKNN)

This was the final game the Dash should play without their six participants in the World Cup, and they turned in a very nice performance, winning 2-0 against the Flash. {I’ll write more about this at some point, but it’s … Continue reading →
