Last Stop: In Dallas, career journeyman Perez finds place to put down roots

One of soccer's true journeymen, Blas Perez finally seems to have found a place to call home for the remainder of his career.

The FC Dallas striker's 17 years as a professional has been an adventure, to say the least, consisting of stops on 15 different teams spread across seven countries and four continents. But entering his fourth season with FC Dallas – his longest stint with one team – Perez hopes he is done changing uniforms.

“This is the team I want to stay and finish my career with,” Perez told MLSsoccer.com through a translator.

Since arriving in Dallas in 2012, the Panama City native has accumulated 31 goals in three seasons, leading the team in scoring in each year. It's par for the course for Perez, who has found goals wherever he's gone in his professional travels, not to mention having scored 36 times for the Panamanian national team.

According to the savvy veteran, his tenure in Dallas has given him the desire to keep his mailing address as consistent as his goal scoring.

“I’m more relaxed, my kids have adapted to the town, this is a football town that keeps on growing,” Perez said. “But what’s most important is that my family likes it here.”

At 33 years old, Perez is tied for the oldest member of an FC Dallas squad stacked with young talent. Yet despite standing toe-to-toe with father time, he does not appear to be slowing down.

Just ask 2014 Rookie of the Year Tesho Akindele, who will see plenty of time as a striker opposite Perez whenever the team implements a 4-4-2 formation.

“His work ethic is incredible for being 33 years old and a goal scorer,” Akindele told MLSsoccer.com. ”He can probably just relax when we don’t have the ball, but he doesn’t. He pushes to try and win the ball back for us, and I think that’s respectable.”

Was my first experience at a Soccer game and I must say I'm now hooked! What a game scoring the game winning goal in stoppage time. Will definitely be coming back for more.

Scenarios: How FCD Can Advance

FC Dallas will look to keep their season alive once again on Sunday at Toyota Stadium.

After falling to the Portland Timbers in the first leg of the Conference Final matchup, 3-1, Dallas will need a strategized win during leg two in Frisco. First and foremost, FCD has to earn a win at home by multiple goals. From there, there are several scenarios in which the team could win the tiebreaker with Portland after potentially splitting the series:
