FC Dallas is a team full of Superheroes, seriously…somewhat

I’ve spent a lot of time recently doing serious stuff and I never want to get too far from the silliness that I love to create from time-to-time. With that said I present to you the FC Dallas Justice league (except as the comic book nerds will point out these characters are not all from [...]

I understand, I really do, you work all day to scrape together a couple of dollars to do something special and when that special time comes around you don’t get half of what you paid for. I once had tickets to a Bulls/Pacers basketball game about a year in advance of tip-off because they were [...]

I know reception for the Superliga has been lukewarm thus far but allow me to be one to jump up and say “NBA action its fantastic!”…I mean, “I love this league” (I don’t know why but that NBA joke makes me laugh, something about Billy Crystal and Penny Marshall looking into the camera and saying [...]

When I first heard about Ramon Nunez asking to be traded I was conflicted and to a certain extent I still am, because I liked his game. You may not be a fan of our mercurial number 10 but when he’s in form you have to respect what he does. And even though stories about [...]
Category: Team NewsDo not bring a promotion/relegation system into US soccer

It’s the biggest difference between soccer here and football there, the lack of a promotion/relegation system in America. The good teams go up, the bad ones go down, it’s a part of seemingly every soccer league in the world except MLS and if top-flight soccer is going to continue to grow in the United States [...]

1. No luck on that African correspondent, which means I’m going to have to do my own leg work on those posts I’m just beginning to hash out. If you know anything about club soccer on the African continent email me at: dallas[at]theoffside[dot]com. Of course replace the “at” and “dot” with the corresponding symbols.

Category: Free KicksFC Dallas hears more whistles than Jessica Alba at a construction worker’s convention
By: Robert | No Comments
The sound of a referees whistle plays like the musical accompaniment to any Hoops game. Inevitably it’s because Carlos Ruiz, Pablo Ricchetti or Juan Toja have drawn the referee’s ire for their on field actions. Either Carlos has pushed, shoved or posted up a defender a little too doggedly, Juan has gone a little overboard [...]
Category: Game AnalysisWe’re getting Denilson apparently, no the other one.

Well it appears that I don’t have any pull in the FC Dallas boardroom because the Hoops seem to be going forward in trying to acquire Brazilian midfielder Denìlson (not the Arsenal one). Since they insist on this course of action let’s discuss what that could mean for the team. Most MLS clubs attempt to [...]
Category: Team NewsWho could be more important than Juan Toja?
By: Robert | 1 Comment
I’ve already gone on record saying that the MLS MVP at this point is FC Dallas midfielder Juan Toja, in fact in my opinion to this point he has also been MLS’ MOP (Most Outstanding Player, there’s a difference between the two but I don’t want to get into it.) Call me a ‘homer’ if [...]

When David Beckham was introduced to the LA faithful a few days ago he spoke about a new challenge on the horizon as the reason for his coming to America to play footba- I mean soccer. The challenge he was referring to was placing soccer into the upper-echelon of American sports consciousness along with baseball, [...]
