Here are some of my favorite pictures from the first half of the MLS season.

I will be shooting the MLS All-Star game in Houston on Wednesday, so keep an eye out for a post with pictures from that event later in the week or this weekend.

I haven’t been posting pictures after each game, so I thought I would post some of my favorites from this year so far.

SMU v. Stephen F. Austin

Saturday, September 5, 2009 – Dallas, Texas: SMU defeated Stephen F. Austin for their first opening game victory since 2000. The victory against SFA was not a pretty one with the game still in doubt well into the second half. With two minutes left, and SMU up 24-23 SFA’s kicker missed a field goal, and on the subsequent possession Miami transfer RB Shawbrey McNeal broke a 49 yard touchdown run to preserve the victory for SMU.

On a day when SMU’s passing attack was not very effective McNeal, who was granted permission by the NCAA to play this year only the day before, rushed for 158 yards on 19 carries and scored one touchdown.

FC Dallas beats Houston Dynamo

August 6, 2009 – FC Dallas played in state rivals Houston Dynamo at Pizza Hut Park looking to keep their three game home win streak going. FC Dallas started the match in attack mode looking to build on their 6-0 victory a week earlier against Kansas City.

Jeff Cunningham earned a penalty for being taken down in the box in the 13th minute only to miss wide left. That made Cunningham 1 for 3 in penalty conversions in the last three games. He redeemed himself in the 20th minute with a shot from just outside the box that Houston keeper Brad Onstad was only able to get a finger to as it whizzed past him into the net.

FC Dallas surprisingly continued to dominate play through much of the first half and created a few more opportunities, but were not able to capitalize. Houston’s Brian Ching was subbed out at halftime for Kei Kamara, but the Houston offense was not able to create any real chances in the 2nd half as FC Dallas held on for the victory.

It was FC Dallas’ 4th home victory in a row and only the second time FC Dallas had ever beaten the Houston Dynamo in MLS competition.

Chelsea v. Club America at Cowboy’s Stadium in Arlington, TX 7-26-09

Chelsea FC of the English Premier League participated in the World Football Challenge as part of their preseason training in the United States. After defeating Inter and AC Milan in their first two matches they met the other undefeated team, Club America of Mexico’s first division, in the amazing new Cowboy’s Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

The match went scoreless late into the second half, but both teams had chances. Franco Di Santo, a second half substitute, scored the first of Chelsea’s two goals on a cross from Florent Malouda. A couple of minutes later Di Santo assisted Malouda on the second goal. The final score was 2-0 and Chelsea was the winner of the inagural World Football Challenge.
