Soccer: The Most Important of Life's Unimportant Things. Monday, June 30, 2003. What Dallas Burn need . . . Is a time machine. A little box they can all walk in to and come out again in February 2005. They could walk out right to the new dressing room at the Frisco stadium complex and start getting ready for the season. Well, most of them. A few need to be tapped on the shoulder while the others are filing in and given the "Not so fast, [. Insert name of least favorite player here. Links to this post.

FOOTBALLS ARE ROUND!: STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: FCD v DC UNITED 9/10/05
http://roundfootballs.blogspot.com/2005/09/stream-of-consciousness-fcd-v-dc.html
Soccer: The Most Important of Life's Unimportant Things. Saturday, September 10, 2005. STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: FCD v DC UNITED 9/10/05. And, hey, Northern Ireland beat England this week, so clearly anything is possible. Colin Clarke and Steve Morrow must have been doing some strutting over that deal. Maybe some of that mojo will extend across the Atlantic and help the boys tonight. Mr Geiger, tonight's referee (who, by the way, doesn't look old enough to drive, much less ref an MLS game), just showed Ro...

FOOTBALLS ARE ROUND!: UNDERAPPRECIATED QUALITY
http://roundfootballs.blogspot.com/2005/07/underappreciated-quality.html
Soccer: The Most Important of Life's Unimportant Things. Friday, July 29, 2005. In case you didn't know, one of the best soccer reads of any week during the MLS season is THE ALL AMERICAN XI. A collaborative effort among an elite group of BigSoccer posters to pick the best homegrown footballers of the week. It's witty, informative and good fodder for chit-chat around the water cooler. Or, it would be, if any workplace in this country had more than one soccer fan in it. Check out this week's edition here.

FOOTBALLS ARE ROUND!: STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: CHICAGO v FC DALLAS
http://roundfootballs.blogspot.com/2005/06/stream-of-consciousness-chicago-v-fc.html
Soccer: The Most Important of Life's Unimportant Things. Monday, June 13, 2005. STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: CHICAGO v FC DALLAS. The Football Club are wearing the silver road kits, and Brian Haynes is in the booth with Brad Sham. Both these things are pretty cool, in my book. Dave Dir, Brad's usual partner, is in Holland helping Sigi Schmid with the U20 National Team, who got off to a grand start, beating Argentina 1-0 in their first match. The folks in Section 8. Five minutes haven't gone by and Scott Garl...

FOOTBALLS ARE ROUND!: STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: COLUMBUS V FC DALLAS
http://roundfootballs.blogspot.com/2005/08/stream-of-consciousness-columbus-v-fc.html
Soccer: The Most Important of Life's Unimportant Things. Saturday, August 20, 2005. STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: COLUMBUS V FC DALLAS. Anyway, I can't remember the last time we needed a win so badly to get us back on track. Well, okay, the entire last season does come to mind. But I digress. The boys are wearing the hoops even though they're on the road. Drew Moor gets another start, Mina gets a start, and a still toe-sore EJ starts on the bench. I think we'll see him before it's all over, however. Personall...

FOOTBALLS ARE ROUND!: STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: REAL SALT LAKE v FC DALLAS
http://roundfootballs.blogspot.com/2005/07/stream-of-consciousness-real-salt-lake.html
Soccer: The Most Important of Life's Unimportant Things. Sunday, July 24, 2005. STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: REAL SALT LAKE v FC DALLAS. The greatest team in the world is back on the field after a disappointing loss last week. But let's not talk about that, shall we? Besides, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, "Ah, it's just. C'mon, it's like a training session, no sweat". Yeah, well, tell it to the Revs, who got knocked off by an even worse expansion team Friday night in LA. Concrete through some...

FOOTBALLS ARE ROUND!: STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: FC DALLAS v METROSTARS

Soccer: The Most Important of Life's Unimportant Things. Tuesday, August 09, 2005. STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: FC DALLAS v METROSTARS. PART I: BEER, SOCCER, AND VISITS FROM UNCLE LAMAR. So, I hit the road at 4:40 Friday afternoon in my tan '05 Chevy Cavalier rental ('cause that's how DJ rolls), heading to Big D for the 24-hour tailgate leading up to the opening of Pizza Hut Park and what should. Have been a jackslapping of the Metrostars (but we'll get to that later). We returned to base camp, celebrated wi...

FOOTBALLS ARE ROUND!: STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: NEW ENGLAND v FC DALLAS
http://roundfootballs.blogspot.com/2005/07/stream-of-consciousness-new-england-v.html
Soccer: The Most Important of Life's Unimportant Things. Sunday, July 17, 2005. STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS: NEW ENGLAND v FC DALLAS. Finally . . . FINALLY! Finally, the best team in MLS gets a televised game, after about a month of being neglected. I don’t get that at all, but since I’ve already ranted and raved about it in this space earlier in the season, I will, for now, forbear. Besides, tonight is a night of joy! 1-0 to the Good Guys in the sixth minute. Though to be honest, it was against the run ...

http://roundfootballs.blogspot.com/2003_10_01_archive.html
Soccer: The Most Important of Life's Unimportant Things. Friday, October 31, 2003. What with the school year starting, coaching middle school football (pointy version, not real football), and the premature death of the Dallas Burn this season, I've kinda gotten behind on commenting about the beautiful game. But my silence has ended! And so, without further eloquence, here are my fearless and semi-uninformed MLS playoff prognostications. New England / Metrostars:. San Jose / Los Angeles. I don't really ca...

Soccer: The Most Important of Life's Unimportant Things. Saturday, August 16, 2003. Ah, August. The Premier League is on Fox Sports World and all is right with the (football) world. Currently watching Arsenal v Everton. The pitch at Highbury is so beautiful, even if there was no game today people might have paid just to gaze upon it. Blistering pace, offensive pressure, great goalkeeping. I love it. Cheers, as they say over there. Posted by DJ @ Saturday, August 16, 2003. Links to this post. Stream of Co...
