Naked Girls Fighting Over You - The Difficult Life of Denilson
By Bruno Romani | March 12th, 2008It’s been a decade since Denilson was sold by São Paulo to Real Betis as the next big thing. At the time of his transfer, he was like Robinho. Well, 10 years later, he still is just a promise. After having his services rejected by the MLS (what a shame
Did you see that???
By Robert | October 13th, 2007I know most of you spent Thursday’s ESPN MLS broadcast watching a fairly mundane 0-0 match but what I saw was far more interesting; FC Dallas played 90 minutes of competent defense. The Hoops did not allow a single quality goal-scoring opportunity to on
An open letter to Denilson (no, not that one)
By Robert | October 2nd, 2007Dear Denilson, I’m sorry; it’s just not working out for you in Dallas. We all know you mean well and we’ve seen through countless youtube video’s that you have plenty of talent on the pitch. Even as a Hoop we’ve seen hints of your wizardry on
As the season comes to a close...
By Robert | September 17th, 2007With 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 th
Joga Bonito has arrived
By Robert | September 12th, 2007The beautiful game has landed in Dallas, but Denilson seems to be the only one playing it. Three games into FC Dallas' Brazilian era (I know there’s also Ricardihno and it’s really only been two and less than a half games but stay with me) its obvious
Something sinister might be going on in Dallas
By Robert | September 6th, 2007A game and half into the Denilson era and two things seem certain: 1) he hasn’t played a competitive game in awhile because he seems just a bit off 2) he has ideas and is trying things that might not cross the minds of most soccer players in this countr
Soccer America does not do research
By Robert | August 28th, 2007This is not even funny anymore; actually this is downright embarrassing considering the source. “…Denilson, who speaks English fluently and is every bit as effervescent as one would expect from one so breathtakingly brilliant, can dazzle on and off
Even more media mistakes...
By Robert | August 28th, 2007This is getting ridiculous people... I can completely understand making this misake, but who is this guy in the picture above? Somebody please tell the Dallas Morning News (they may change it before you get a chance to see the actual page) all yo
Denilson vs. Denilson
By Robert | August 28th, 2007Because the media is making mistakes telling the two Denìlson’s apart. Here’s a quick reference (although in all honesty, they’re more similar than I thought): Our Denìlson Full Name: Denìlson de Oliveira Araujo Born: August 24th, 1977 i
The media makes more soccer mistakes
By Robert | August 28th, 2007Whats wrong with this picture? I used to make the "we're getting Denilson (no the other one)" joke in the run up to FC Dallas' designated player signing. Well, one of the local papers, the Star-Telegram, just made the same mistake I used to quip
Defending Denilson
By Robert | August 28th, 2007He’s over-rated. He’s too arrogant. He’s over-exposed. He’s over-hyped. He’s too selfish He’s not a leader. Only days into Dallas’ Denìlson era and already his addition to the roster (not official until the work visa arrives) has been met w
What the hell, we got Denilson?!?
By Robert | August 24th, 2007Let me first apologize for the mistakes I made the other day, I wrote a piece a couple days early because I was just sure that the Denìlson deal which was supposedly “dead in the water” really was “dead in the water.” I then made the mistake of p
FC Dallas and the designated player
By Robert | August 22nd, 2007(This is part three of a two part series: part one, part two) Now that signing deadline has finally passed its time to look back at FC Dallas’ designated player decision (or lack thereof if you see it that way.) The Hoops along with most of MLS opted
The case against the designated player
By Robert | August 4th, 2007(This is part one of a two part series) With time running out on the window to sign a designated player(s) and FC Dallas embroiled in a stalled negotiation with Denílson (no, not him,) its time to look at whether signing a player of his stature is eve
Free Kicks
By Robert | July 26th, 20071. 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
We're getting Denilson apparently, no the other one.
By Robert | July 20th, 2007Well 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 t
Guess Who's Coming to FC Dallas?
By Robert | July 10th, 2007I’ll be honest with you, I don’t like discussing rumors. Like time they are always fleeting and seemingly never enough of either. You can hear a rumor one moment, turn around and have it discredited. Sometimes they are based in fact but more often the
One-Man Samba Show Likely Cancelled for Today
By Greg | March 28th, 2007It seems as though Cristiano Ronaldo will not be featured in today's clash between Portugal and Serbia. He apparently twisted his left foot during training and was seen with ice on his ankle and heel. Crissy probably hurt himself doing some of his trade
