Best MLS Teams of the First 25 Years: #17 2016 FC Dallas
The best season in Dallas history, one that saw two trophies find homes in Frisco, will always have a big question mark at the end of it. What if Mauro Diaz had not torn his Achilles tendon in the 89th minute of the season's 33rd match against Seattle? The Best XI midfielder missed the playoffs that saw those same Sounders defeat Dallas in the conference semifinals. That question mark does not take away from a double-winning season with the Supporters' Shield and Lamar Hunt U

Biscuits N' Gravy, Sunday Brunch: May 3
Beautiful weather here in Atlanta, but really missing live soccer. I should be at Mercedes-Benz Stadium right now, preparing for a Sunday afternoon match between Atlanta United and Real Salt Lake. I love those afternoon matches, they are by far my favorite. Once we finish the Full Time Report on radio, there's usually time to get to the pub or get home to watch other matches from around the league.
We'll get back there, we just have to try to have patience...

Best MLS Teams of the First 25 Years: #18 DC United
As the first champions of the league, the inaugural DC United squad holds a special place in MLS history. They won eleven of their final fourteen matches in the regular season and playoffs in regulation to storm to the title. They also did the double in their first year, winning the U.S. Open Cup over Rochester at their home base of RFK Stadium.
They did not look like champions in the beginning, losing five of their first six matches and Bruce Arena conducted a roster overh
