FC Dallas attack setting new standards

The highest-scoring attack in MLS at present, FC Dallas, are setting new standards for themselves.

Led by star striker Jeff Cunningham along with left midfielder Dave van den Bergh Colombian ace David Ferreira, it is easy to see why Dallas' attack is so strong.

"We have a good variety of people going forward," van den Bergh said.

"We have people who are very skillful with a lot of speed, and two tall guys on the outside. We have Dax McCarty right behind us, and he can shoot from distance."

Ferreira and van den Bergh have been enjoying some brilliant form in recent times, with Ferreira netting five goals and providing four assists in his past nine outings whilst van den Bergh his given off six assists and scored three goals in his last 11 games.

30-year old Ferreira said he was finally linking up well with Cunningham, who is leading the league's goal scoring table.

"At the beginning it was kind of hard because I didn't know the timing or the spaces or the runs Jeff wanted to make," he said in Spanish through a translator.

"But the last couple of months, I've been getting really comfortable with Jeff's runs and the kinds of balls he likes."
