Early life

Funes Mori was born in Mendoza, Argentina. In 2001, he moved to Workman Junior High and Arlington High School, playing football with his twin brother, Ramiro.[1] The twins' father, Miguel, played professional football in Argentina with such clubs as Independiente Rivadavia and Club Atlético Argentino in the 1980s.[2] Funes Mori scored 40 goals in the 2008 season leading his team to District Champions and Area Finalist with a record of 24–2–1. Gabriel and Ramiro, who are identical twins, also played several seasons for the Associated Soccer Group (ASG) 91' team. His coach with ASG was Uche Okafor.[3]

After that, Chelsea scout Jorge Alvial scouted Rogelio and Ramiro on the first day of the reality show Sueño MLS, and spoke to his parents about a future tryout at Chelsea.[4][5] He participated in Sueño MLS and won the contest, therefore becoming part of FC Dallas.[6][7][8]

In the first game of the 2010 Apertura, he scored a 90th-minute goal following an assist from Ariel Ortega to secure a 1–0 victory over Tigre.[16] This was his third goal in three games against that team.
