When a new sports franchise has its home debut, it usually doesn't play one of the world's best teams. But that's exactly what Dallas Trinity FC did at the Cotton Bowl Thursday. North Texas' first-ever women's pro soccer club lost 6-0 to Spain's world-famous FC Barcelona Femini. But as today's Last Word notes, it was still a big win for Dallas and for women's sports in the region.
