Anyone who’s attended his spirited, hugely intense practice sessions — where barking and finger-pointing thrive — understands the NASL coach is anything but sentimental or maudlin.

“We are humble. Like in the locker room, if you guys were there, there’s no party mode. We haven’t achieved anything (yet). We haven’t won anything. Yes, we are high in the standings and in a playoff spot, but in three weeks this moment maybe doesn’t mean anything.”

Nonetheless, Dos Santos’ group is on a remarkable role. Eleven games undefeated and 5-0-1 out of the gate in the Fall Season. The Fury hasn’t lost since May 2 and has allowed but five goals-against during the 11-game run.
