Soccer Betting Lines

06/10/2007 - Frisco, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Major League Soccer's FC Dallas announced Sunday that leading scorer Kenny Cooper suffered a broken right tibia in the team's 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday at Pizza Hut Park. The 22-year old American striker is expected to be out for about two months.

"I feared the worst when I saw and heard the tackle," FC Dallas head coach Steve Morrow said. "Kennys a guy that fights through those things and I knew it was serious when he couldn't continue. So, it takes the shine off a good night for us and a good win. The thoughts of us and all the players right now are with Kenny. We're obviously devastated for him and its a big loss for the whole team as well."

Cooper, who leads the team with four goals and two assists, was fouled by Galaxy defender Tyrone Marshall in the 89th minute of the game and was carted off the field. Marshall was issued a straight red card for the tackle by referee Jair Marrufo.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.
