Midfielder Paul Arriola says FC Dallas need to start paying their supporters back in Saturday s Texas derby against the Houston Dynamo, having failed to impress in the early stages of the season.
Dallas sit 13th in the Western Conference standings with just five points from eight matches in 2024, their only victory coming against the San Jose Earthquakes in their season opener.
They have only taken two points from seven matches since then, putting head coach Nico Estevez under pressure.
However, Arriola says a clash with their biggest rivals at Toyota Stadium represents a chance to put things right.
Our fans have been great all season, we haven t shown up for them. It is motivation for us to go and beat Houston on Saturday and obtain three points, he sa…
Barcelona won LaLiga by 14 points last season, but that bald statistic does not tell even half the story as Atletico Madrid pushed the Catalan giants incredibly hard.
The title hinged on Atletico s trip to Camp Nou in early March, when a typically brilliant Lionel Messi free-kick earned Barcelona a 1-0 victory that put them in pole position for the league.
Diego Simeone thereafter switched his focus to the Europa League and Antoine Griezmann scored twice in a 3-0 defeat of Marseille in the final to justify that decision in some style.
Atletico who downed Real Madrid 4-2 in the UEFA Super Cup look poised to offer Barca their strongest competition again this term, with their city rivals adapting to a new era without Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane.

Group A is the only one to contain two previous World Cup winners, France (1998) and Uruguay (1930 and 1950).
Mexico s best run in the finals saw them reach the quarter-finals in 1970 and 1986, which means that South Africa face a tough task if they re to escape Group A.
France are favourites on the Group A Index spread (25pts to the winner, 10pts to runner-up and 5pts to third-place), currently at 15-16.5pts. Although the French are ranked seventh in the Fifa World Rankings, buyers of their group win index will be concerned with their current form.
Qualification for South Africa came by an already infamous goal to get past the Irish and sellers of France s group index will also have noted that the side recently failed to score against the Spanish.

Gary O Neil admitted that Wolves may be second favourite in every game, but he is hoping they can flip the script against Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.
Wolves have endured a difficult start to the season with one draw and three losses, including a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United last weekend after they failed to hold onto their lead.
They sit 18th in the Premier League table and go into the weekend having also been knocked out of the EFL Cup after suffering a 3-2 defeat to Brighton on Wednesday.
O Neil did not shy away from their run of poor form and is hopeful they can start to get results that match their performances.
Of course, should haves and could haves aren t going to help us, but moving forward you can still see that we re giving…

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah revealed he knew he wanted to join the Premier League giants more than six years ago.
Salah made the switch to Anfield from Roma last year, establishing himself as one of the world s best forwards with 44 goals in his first season.
But the Egypt international said he had eyed a move to Liverpool since 2012, when he left his homeland to sign for Basel.
It was when I went to Basel from Egypt, I had a plan in my mind that I would hopefully one day come to Liverpool, Salah told the club s website.
There was a chance before, but at the time it didn t work for both sides.
When there was interest again last year, I was very interested in coming to Liverpool straight away in my head, but you also have to see what the plan f…

The last regular season ended with a game for the ages between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers, and in Week 1, we’ll be treated to a rematch as the Raiders head to their old stomping ground.
Vegas sees a major boost to its pass-catching corps here, with Darren Waller back at full health and Davante Adams making his Raider debut, while L.A. carries the weight of expectation into a new season — a standing that has never gone wrong for the Bolts before.
Ahead of Week 1, we break down the prop market for Raiders vs. Chargers with our best NFL player prop picks.

The 2023 NFL season is just around the corner, and there are more NFL odds markets than ever to explore. While quarterback remains the most important position on the field, every football fan knows the importance of the players who get after the QB as well. Taking the Over on offensive props can be a betting trap, and I expect that to hold true for many of the defensive player props this year as well.
While I’m fading a few feared pass rushers this season, I’m also backing a consistent sack artist and putting my money on a sophomore who is poised to break out. Here are my Top 5 free NFL picks targeting sacks for the 2023 NFL season.

Coming into this season, most pegged the Buffalo Bills to contend for a Super Bowl, and while they may yet do so, the product through nine games has been inconsistent at best. Now they return home to face a Denver Broncos side that many expected to take a step forward under Sean Payton, but that’s also failed to materialize. The NFL odds have the Bills laying seven points as home favorites with the total sitting at 47.
While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Broncos/Bills directly from legal sports betting sites?
In Canada, bet365 is one of our most trusted NFL betting sites — and the premier platform that offers NFL live s…
