FC Dallas has spent the majority of the 2016 campaign atop MLS the league, winning the Supporters Shield for the leagues best record on the final day of the regular season and capturing the US Open Cup that signifies the best soccer team -- regardless of level -- in the United States.But FC Dallas will have to pull off a miracle on Sunday when it hosts the Seattle Sounders FC at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas in the second leg of the Western Conference semifinals to make sure 2016 is not defined by eight minutes of the second half of its 3-0 loss to Seattle on Oct. 30.After a scoreless first half at CenturyLink Field in Seattle, the Sounders FC netted three goals in the first 13 minutes after intermission. Forward Nelson Valdez began the deluge in the 50th minute before Nicola Lodeiro put away the game, and likely the series, with goals in the 55th and 58th minute. FC Dallas never responded.The conference semifinals are held over two legs, with aggregate goals determining which team moves forward. In the event that both teams score an equal number of goals over the course of the two matches, the team with the greater number of road goals for the series advances.Should the series be tied for both total goals and away goals, the teams play two 15-minute periods of extra time at the conclusion of the second leg in which away goals do not count. This is followed by penalty kicks, if necessary, to determine the winner.Seattle will advance to the conference semifinal (against either Colorado or Los Angeles) unless FC Dallas scores at least three times and keeps the Sounders FC without a goal. Should the Sounders get just one goal in regulation time, Dallas will need to score five to advance.I have to keep the optimism for the group that has overcome (adversity) during the year, Dallas coach Oscar Pareja said. Well keep fighting. This team has shown during the year that we can overcome difficult situations. Why not this one, as well?FC Dallas has to score once before it can score thrice; it hasnt found the net in its past two matches since the season-ending injury to Mauro Diaz, its top playmaker.What FC Dallas is attempting has never been achieved in league history.If you think about it like you need to score three goals right away, or four goals right away its just overwhelming, Dallas forward/midfielder Tesho Akindele said. If you look at what happened over there, the game was solid for everything but 10 minutes and they scored three goals. The same thing could happen here. If its the 80th minute and its still 0-0, well still believe.Seattle has been one of the hottest teams in MLS over the second half of the season, going 8-2-4 since Brian Schmetzer was promoted to interim coach on July 26. On Wednesday, the interim tag was lifted as the Sounders FC named Schmetzer the teams second-ever head coach.The Sounders organization and the culture of our club has been a big part of my adult life, Schmetzer said. For our players, this is their team, and they have responded by taking complete ownership of the season and driving us into the playoffs. Our work isnt finished yet.My goal is to make sure we can all enjoy this ride a little longer deep into the postseason, Schmetzer added. We are ready to play -- the guys are ready to get out of here and get a game. Cheap Nike Shoes China . "Thank you for the warm welcome," Beckham said on an 80-degree February morning.

Jay Feely kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime, and the Cardinals edged the Tennessee Titans 37-34 in overtime after blowing a 17-point lead late in the fourth quarter. Discount Nike Shoes Online .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit. No. 7 Stanford will be missing both of its starting cornerbacks and its starting fullback for Fridays showdown at No. 10 Washington.Both Quenton Meeks and Alijah Holder were hurt during the Cardinals 22-13 win over UCLA on Saturday, so Stanford will have to dig into its deep defensive backfield to replace them. Alameen Murphy and Terrence Alexander will start at cornerback instead, while Frank Buncom is expected to rotate in.Were facing a [Washington] team with a lot of speed, so we have to stay fresh, Stanford coach David Shaw said.Fullback Daniel Marx also was hurt late against UCLA, and Shaw expects an equal mix of Chris Harrell and Reagan Williams to replace the bruiser against the Huskies.Tight end Greg Taboada and offensive lineman Brandon Fanaika remain questionable.The Cardinal had already received bad injury news earlier in the week, when wide receiver Francis Owusu was ruled out of the Washington game because of a concussion that he suffered on a helmet-to-helmet hit from UCLAs Tahaan Goodman. Pac-12 officials did not peenalize the Bruins on the play, a non-call that Shaw strongly disagreed with during his Monday news conference.dddddddddddd. He advocated for changes in NCAA rules that would penalize all helmet-to-helmet contact.The Pac-12 office responded with a statement about that play Tuesday, deeming Goodmans hit on Owusu legal.While there certainly was helmet-to-helmet contact, neither the game officials on the field or the replay officials called targeting because the contact was with the front of the helmet and not the crown (top) of the helmet, the conference statement read.The Pac-12 also responded directly to Shaws comments.Going forward, and in line with Coach David Shaws concerns about this play, we expect additional discussion around the targeting rule during the offseason review process and will be an active participant in discussions to further reduce helmet-to-helmet contact, the leagues release read.
