After an impressive run in the SUM U-17 Cup tournament, the FCD Juniors fell to DC United 5-4 on penalties after a 1-1 tie through regulation and two scoreless overtime periods in this morning's final. DC United would go up early with a 15th minute goal from Luis Cartagera and would take a 1-0 lead into halftime. The Juniors finally pulled level in the 78th minute courtesy of a goal from Jonathan Top, pushing the game to two 10-minute overtime periods, before eventually going to penalties, where DC would eventually edge Dallas 5-4.Finishing as the runner-up does have its perks though, as the FCD Juniors have clinched a spot in the Super Group of the 2010 Dallas Cup. Congrats on a job well done boys! The Juniors can now turn their focus to the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Finals Week from July 10-17 in Carson, California. Dallas is one of eight teams in the U-16 bracket (two groups of four) heading to Carson, where the two group winners will face off for the national championship.

CONGRATS ! First year of existence as a team and you are in the finals for both SUM U17 and Dev Academy. Good job at the SUM - and Good Luck at the DA Finals!!!!!
Well done! The boys should be very proud of what they've accomplished. I think they represent the club well.
Thanks FCD, for supporting them and investing in the program.
Wow these comments are way too positive, what is wrong with you people.
their the parents
Or they actually care about the program and are proud of a team that plays hard, win or lose. What a novel idea.
