Offseason Musings

Dallas Cowboys soccer? Everton hero in Texas. Another Dallas DP bites the dust. Ronaldo is no Messi


Interesting soccer headlines out of Texas today. First, the new Dallas Cowboys stadium will apparantly be geared for soccer. The Cowboys have expressed interest in hosting World Cup games. Read about it in the Dallas News.

Speaking of Dallas - last year's high-profile signing, Dulio Davino, is out. After a disappointing season in MLS he is returning to Mexico. This comes on the heels of the failed Denilson experiment in 2007. Read about Davino's departure on
MLS Net.

In the final Texas soccer news of the day, former Everton hero Adrian Heath will be the new manager of USL-1 side Austin Aztex. Could the former Everton midfield star be blazing a trail towards the MLS? Who knows. Read about Heath and his move to America in the
Echo.

Finally, in non-Texas related soccer news, here is an article that nails it on the head when it comes to why I am a fan of Lionel Messi and not a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, despite his on-field brilliance. Read this article about the two stars here.
