I'm in that camp.  But then, I've ranted before about American fans
doing this.  It makes us seem like wannabes.  It was the main reason I
objected to calling the Supporters Shield the Scudetto.

If we are going to call the sport something other than soccer, it would
make more sense calling it fútbol since there are so many spanish
speakers in the US, particularly in Dallas.

If we are going to call them Football Club Dallas, we may as well call
them Voetbal Club Dallas, or Fussball Club Dallas, or Calcio Club
Dallas.  Makes about as much sense to me.
