Dallas Cup About to Runneth Over

(Alt. Hed: I Am A Lazy, Negligent, Forgetful Blogger Person)

Just last night I was flipping through a notebook I used to use more often than I do now, searching for an empty page for jotting. There I saw, several pages ago, the note to myself: “Gordon Jago. Profile?” I remember writing that, about a year ago, at the time of last year’s Dallas Cup, the international soccer tournament. Jago is the executive director, but he’s much more than that to North Texas soccer, as listeners to Bob and Dan found out about an hour ago. So a year passed and I failed to pursue a profile of Jago, whom I met nearly 30 years ago when he was sort of affiliated with the Dallas Tornado and my next-door neighbor was Al Miller, the head coach of that team. But I can still hype this year’s Dallas Cup, where soccer’s future all-stars play. Check it out. I did last year and might do so again.
