FCD Start this year the way they left off last year ... Losing.

FC Dallas blows yet another lead to lose 3-1 to the Chicago Fire on the opening day of the 2009 MLS Season.  Kenny Cooper scored a miraculous goal in the 9th minute from the halfway line to beat sleeping Chicago keeper.  FCD played sloppy ball and was out hustled by Fire forwards.  On the bright side, designated player David Ferreira got a yellow card in the first four mintues of his FCD debut for obstruction and US U-23 star Blake Wagner was owned up and down the field by Fire midfielders and Sala was up to his old theatrics of stalling and complaining of injuries.  It seems like FC Dallas didnt even have a change of season and just took a 6 month break from last season.  Hopefully this is just a glitch and coach Shellas Hyndman can regulate his team and make them actually perform.  Last year FCD lost a ton of fans and ticket sales was at an all time low at Pizza Hut Park all the while not making the playoffs for the first time in 3 season.  Lets not repeat that this year.
