Here's about nine minutes of Kaick de Silva Ferreira aka Kaick highlights. Appears to be an ambitious forward passer as his primary skill. So sure, why not.

It was your comment that spurred me to look at his night overall. Because initially I felt the same way coming out of the game, but decided to sanity check it and turns out I’m glad I did.

Covered him in Dallas for a few years. Was as professional a guy as you’d imagine to us media types. Talked regularly, spoke with honesty. 10/10 couldn’t ask for more. Hope he enjoys a well deserved retirement.

Most of my saves that don't have a dedicated storyline start in MLS. This is absolutely something I identify with.

Quill says the biggest challenge going into 2025 is “locking in for 95+ minutes.” Cites not turning off after goals, eliminating inconsistency as big factors.

Zanotta says the Acosta deal has been a long time in the works. The competition came from MLS, Brazil, and Argentina for his signature. Says the winning intent was a big factor for Acosta coming to FCD.

Oh by the way the season opening presser with Zanotta and manager Eric Quill is underway. Keep it here for updates.

That's before we consider the more price conscious wins like Maarten Paes, Marco Farfan, Anderson Julio, et al. No it's not LAFC or Inter Miami, but compared to the past it's a big time improvement.

I know there’s a lot of mixed feelings about the idea of him on this iteration of Dallas. But I gotta say, if he’s here the squad looks so much better. Age be damned, you do it and figure the rest out later.

And if he isn't, well I guess I'll say hi to Art Briles
