Just like Jeff Cunningham's career the FC Dallas blog has been resurrected.

I'm Louis, a 21 year old college student who loves the beautiful game. I like to watch a little bit of everything but my favorite is MLS and the US National Team. I'm thrilled to be writing for The Offside and will be bringing you the latest Hoops news, fiery opinions, and general nonsense for seasons to come.

Well, well, well, looks like the points-per-game nonsense isn't quite finished after all. The postponement of the Houston-San Jose clash leaves us with two teams sitting a game back for the next few weeks. Regardless, we'll plunge right ahead with the table analysis, tossing in PPG hand-waving if and when it becomes appropriate. Click to continue reading...

Don't mess with Keano! I thought this whole story was pretty funny so I figured that I would include a link for it so that hopefully everyone gets a chance to see some of the nonsense that goes on with the World Cup qualifiers. Basically, Jack Warner the FIFA Vice-President and CONCACAF President who is from the Trinidad and Tobago complained because Sunderland (managed by Roy Keane) didn't release Dwight Yorke for the match against the United States on Wednesday.

There's been a lot of nonsense circulating in the media lately regarding David Gill's comments on the reported £135m offer from Man City for Ronaldo. Leave all those reports alone. I suggest you listen to what David Gill had to say exactly and make up your own minds about it. Here's the link to the interview [. Click to continue reading...

If you've heard of that name already then you don't really need to read this column. If you haven't heard of that name and you are a soccer then you do need to read this column. Brian Glanville is the greatest sports journalist in the English-Speaking world. I have never read a better writer on any sport then Brian's writing on soccer. Click to continue reading...

Manchester City are swapping Thaksin Shinawatra for Gary Glitter!
Harry Redknapp is Sir Les Patterson!!

Andy Gray: "This is an infamous league for late goals".
Martin Tyler: "Well, a famous league...".

The illusory, invalid and infamous gambling league is up and running. Click to continue reading...

Football Gossip: Pennant winging his way to Blackburn?
Football gossip has it that Blackburn have been told by Liverpool to bid six million pounds for Jermaine Pennant, or forget it.

Paul Ince obviously is looking for a replacement for David Bentley and Pennant obviously fits the bill. Click to continue reading...

It looks like ESPN has given up on all this "soccer" nonsense and is broadcasting the fun from the... Click to continue reading...

I think I would really love the chance to "kick it" with Allen Hopkins. He seems like an amiable & educated fellow like myself. I'd like to imagine that he and I could sit around a table over high-ball drinks and discuss the intricacies of MLS transfer guidelines, how Robin "Sweet Dick Willy" Harris died before his time, why Jeff Cunningham should have never left Ohio and our favorite social movements of the 60's & 70's.

...while the rest of the team continue to struggle to impress as a team. Trofeo Teresa Herrera Atlético 2 Deportivo 1 Our only goal scored by De Abreu (45′). Atlético 3 Sporting de Gijón 3 Goals by Maniche (7′), Luis García (30′) and Diego Costa (79′). More of the same nonsense this season or will the return of Kun improve our game?

There is news that BBC Radio are reporting that Stoke City are getting close to signing Senegal International defender, Abdoulaye Faye, from Newcastle United. Abdoulaye Faye - hopefully going nowhere That has to be nonsense surely. Abdoulaye Faye was a stalwart in our defense at the end of last season, and his ability in the air is second [.

The Black Pearls from Jayapura brushed aside Persitara 3-0 last night to move three points clear at the top of the ISL with 10 points from four games.

Elsewhere Persela beat Persita 1-0 in a game where Marcio Souza did not, I repeat did not score. Persiba beat poor old Deltras 2-1 and the Sidoarjo club, shorn of stars Pronetto, Hilton and Jose Sebastian are rooted at the bottom of the table. Click to continue reading...

While watching the recent ASEAN Under 16s I made copious notes about the performances of Malayisa, Singapore and Indonesia sad git that I am.

My Singapore article appears on their FA website. The others I fear may never see the light of day though with the nonsense surrounding the ISL I pine evermore for the haclyon days at Lebak Bulus. Click to continue reading...

So now the team is back and training, we've got all the chatter that goes with it, and it's all positive stuff. Gallas, the captain, has staked his claim for remaining captain with an admission he could have done things differently last season (less crying and hoarding assaults would be a start). With all the other nonsense that has gone on this close season, and the departure of experienced players, I just can't see Wenger rocking the boat here.

With the English season almost upon us I have decided to add a blog dedicated to rants about the game there. Premier League Nonsense is what it says on the lid allowing this here site to concentrate purely on the game in South East Asia.

No more Arsenal stuff here...promise! Click to continue reading...

West Ham today confirmed they have completed the signing of Swiss international Valon Behrami from Italian giants Lazio.

Behrami, 23, has cost the London outfit around £5million, a fee which can only signal strong intent following a season of mediocrity from Alan Curbishley.

It is thought United beat off fierce competition from various clubs around Europe for his signature, and have managed to secure his services for 5 years. Click to continue reading...

Chelsea set to land Kaka for record £80m
· Negotiations with Milan at an advanced stage
· World player of the year keen on move to London

That's how the Guardian is prosing it out.   Now I'll open this trash up for discussion.
