Our last South American mistake….
With the holidays over I am in the mood to talk soccer. In the off-season there isnt much going with FC Dallas on Worldcup way. But the one thing that still makes me want to pull my hair out is the bus drivers incessant need to play this is your life with over the hill South American soccer players. We have had yet another over the hill South American player attached to our team. His name really doesnt matter cause all the applicable character traits are there…..was great once….cant find a top flight team in his own country…..is escaping to the MLS to revitalize career. BTW what was up with Steven Appiah. Did you honestly think he was going to come to the MLS over the EPL or any of the more “established” leagues in Europe? He has to be on the downside of his career to consider the MLS remember!
Schellas we have the players right here. Look to what you have on the bench. Go and apologize to Dax and hope he doesnt want to go to LA. Get some of the players that you didnt pick up back under contract. And go to work. Dont whine about playing your game. Dont whine about not having your players. We dont need someone elses problems. We are partners with one of the best teams in South America. Take advantage of the young talent in their system if your going to bring in South American talent. But oh yeah youth is not the way you are going to take this team. We are just one 30 year old away from the playoffs…..Jeff Cunningham anyone? There are reasons why these 30+ year old players dont make teams in their own countries.

It would be an attraction thing. And if more fans come in, its better for Dallas. Then again, if he cant perform, he isnt worth it.

Thanks for the comment Dave but that has been the problem with this team. We go and get some over the hill South American player that hasnt performed in his home league and expect him to perform here. We waste roster space and money on these guys and in the mean time its another year wasted.

Sounds like New York . . .
I see your point. With the growth I have personally seen in Houston with the Dynamo, you would think Dallas would be inspired to do much of the same.
