You may remember when the Polyphonic Spree got itself wrapped up in Adidas and the MLS last October? Looks like they're not done allying with the "Dallas" franchise (why don't they just rename it FC Frisco, anyway?), writing and recording the team's theme song. DOMA-winning blog....ugh....Gorilla Vs. Bear has the scoop (and the MP3).

Oh, come on. Theme song? Maybe that's how they do it in other countries, but if Major League Soccer ever expects to be taken seriously in the States--and if Becks' ankle never fully heals--maybe it should go a different route than, say, '70s and '80s cartoon-style themes. Like most of the other MLS anthems, it's not exactly the kind of solid song you'll repeat on the stereo (no, not even the Bad Brains' song is that good), but hey--it's nowhere near as awful as Team USA's theme songs.

And of course, Dd digs just a bit deeper than its bitter, awful rivals...turns out the FC Dallas soccer club is called "Hoops" thanks to the red rings that circle the team's uniforms. Consider that your soccer lesson for the year. -SM
