DALLAS CUP 2010
I had the privilege of shooting photos this year at the Dallas Cup. For those of you that don’t know, it is the premier youth soccer tournament in the United States and teams travel from all over the world to compete. Being a huge Tottenham Hotspur fan from my days living in England in the 80s I was excited to hear that Spurs were sending their Youth Academy to participate in this year’s Super Group, and I made a point to get to each of their preliminary matches against the Dallas Texans, the Japanese National Team and Tigres from Mexico to take photos. The Super Group also included Chelsea from England, the Japanese, United States and Mexican U20 National Teams as well as teams from Germany, Brazil, Costa Rica, Mexico and more. I also shot photos at the Chelsea Youth Academy team’s match against FC Dallas on the first day of the tournament.
I hope you like the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.

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. UTEP 11-14-09
SMU held on to defeat the UTEP Miners by a score of 35-31. It took as stop on 4th and goal for the Miners, but the win made the Mustangs bowl eligible and has them sitting atop the West of Conference USA.
SMU v. Rice
November 7, 2009 – It was Homecoming at SMU as the Mustangs took on the Rice Owls. SMU took at early lead but were soon down to the winless Owls. It wasn’t until Sterling Moore blocked a Rice field goal attempt and Bryan McCann returned it for a touchdown on the last play of the first half that SMU would take the lead for good. It wasn’t easy, but the Mustangs were able to hold out for a 31-28 win. Next week the Mustangs face the UTEP Miners, and a victory will make the Mustangs bowl eligible!

Houston Dynamo v. LA Galaxy
October 18, 2009 – Being a Manchester United fan from back in the 80s when I lived in England I took a trip down to Houston to shoot former Manchester United captain David Beckham in a match-up of the top two teams in the MLS Western Conference. It was David Beckham’s first time to play in Houston, so there were lots of photographers, and it was hard to get a good spot to take pictures. The game was a hard fought match that ended in a 0-0 tie.
SMU v. Navy
October 17, 2009 – Dallas, Texas - SMU battled Navy for the Frank Gansz Trophy. President & Mrs. Bush were on hand for the coin toss, the Navy Seals parachuted in the game ball and there was a fly by from three F-18s during the National Anthem. The game lived up to the hype with Navy and SMU battling into overtime. Navy came out on top 38-35.
SMU v. East Carolina
October 10, 2009 – Dallas, Texas – SMU faced off against the defending Conference USA champion East Carolina Pirates. East Carolina went into the game as the favorites, but it was SMU who ended up on top 28-21 in a back and forth game that wasn’t decided until the last minutes of the fourth quarter. The victory sees SMU go 2-0 in conference for the first time since 1986 when SMU was 3-0 in the old Southwest Conference.

Battle for the Iron Skillet – SMU v. TCU
October 3, 2009 – Fort Worth, Texas – SMU travelled to Fort Worth to take on the 11th ranked TCU Horned Frogs in the annual battle for the Iron Skillet. In a rain soaked game, SMU forced three first half turnovers and scored the first touchdown of the game to take a 7-0 lead, but then TCU scored 25 unanswered points to put the game out of reach. The final score was TCU 39- SMU 14.
FC Dallas beats Real Salt Lake
Saturday, August 26, 2009 – Frisco, Texas
FC Dallas continued their good form at home with a 3-0 victory over Real Salt Lake. Jeff Cunningham scored two goals to move into a tie with Conor Casey atop the Golden Boot standings at 15 goals a piece. This is particularly amazing considering Jeff only had 1 goal midway through the season. Cunningham’s first goal came in the 5th minute with the assist from Dave van den Bergh.
David Ferreira doubled Dallas’ lead in the 10th minute as van den Bergh put a nice ball through the defense to a charging Ferreira. The assist marked van den Bergh’s 10th on the season tying him for 2nd in the MLS and marking his career high.
Cunningham scored again in the 87th minute with a blast from about 25 yards out.
A good performance from FC Dallas from start to finish. The next game is Wednesday at the Cotton Bowl against the New England Revolution.

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.
