“’ I can promise everyone that I never meant to upset people or make [them] hate me.” Landon Donovan, 2005
I think we can all agree that this quote is the biggest lie told by someone representing our country since they said that the Iraq War would pay for itself (or when Bill Clinton said he [...]

Why coaching in soccer is important
By: Robert | No Comments
I used to think that soccer coaches didn’t really affect the play of a game; I thought the guys on the pitch were all that were important to team success. The side either had the players or they didn’t, and while picking who plays and who doesn’t plays a part in the results (Most decisions [...]

I tried to be congenial towards Landon Donovan, I honestly did. Attacks that would never be permitted by Kyle Beckerman or any member of the Houston Dreamsicles were allowed because Landon Donovan wears the US shirt fairly well (although Texas’ own Clint Dempsey wears it better) but no more, from this moment on Landon Donovan [...]

I don’t know what to say. One man does not a team make; I was repeating that to myself that all night. No one performance, no one player, no matter how important (good or bad important) decides the fate of a team game. There are too many men on the field and there is too [...]

I recieved a couple emails recently from people wondering if I could post the ESPN.com chat with Carlos Ruiz from earlier in the week. I meant to have this up earlier but then Carlos Ruiz brought out that hair…I love that hair. Here’s the chat, better late than never, the only thing that stands out [...]

This has to be the greatest hairstyle in MLS history. An off-center, blond faux-hawk, two blond streaks on the left to complement it, there’s no way it gets any better than this.
Category: Team NewsA return to form
By: Robert | No Comments
There’s no kind way to put this, 2007 has not been Carlos Ruiz’ best year. He’s struggled with form, failed to show up for practice and had his captaincy questioned. And as the pressure to perform grew it seemed as if Carlos Ruiz shrank, but recently we’ve seen El Pescadito grow in stature as the [...]

I’ve become bitter sitting here thinking about the abomination that has become the FC Dallas defense so allow me to use this space to vent my frustrations with my analysis of the men who are paid to play defense at Pizza Hut Park. I’m in a bad mood, so things are unflatteringly biased. Also, you’ll [...]

By: Robert | No Comments
Maddeningly inconsistent. That’s what the numbers say about everyone’s favorite north Texas MLS team. And while I’m always hesitant to follow the numbers when it comes to the beautiful game I believe those adjectives ring true. When on form FC Dallas is one of the best sides in the league, playing beautiful attacking soccer that [...]

By: Robert | No Comments
With the Hoops season winding down (six MLS games left) its time to look at the prospects of bringing league silverware to Frisco, TX at the end of the year. FC Dallas has the players and the ability to be champions but there are definitely liabilities that may keep a north Texas trophy from being [...]
