The 9 year old boy & I are leaving in a litte bit to go support our local team, FC Dallas, take on Alianza FC in an international competition called Concacaf Champions League.

I'm so giddy right now - after partaking in the Europa adventure with Fulham from my laptop & chair, this time I get to experience it live.
Our little Club here in Dallas was a solid team for its first 4 or 5 years of existence but went through a dry spell the last 9 years or so. We've recently turned our fortunes around and have a chance tonight to qualify for the group stages of this "prestigious" competition.
Btw, maybe the supporters out here have a little 'Fulham' in them - I've been given free tickets from another supporter...what an absolute blessing.
