Hey, Dallas: World Cup action has arrived in DFW! Seems appropriate that I rerun a post I wrote 12 years ago (where does the time go?). Read about the history of soccer in Dallas, which began 6 decades before the arrival of the Dallas Tornado in 1968. Check out “The Dallas Athletics, Dallas’ First Soccer Team — 1908.”
