City in Dallas: Supporting sky blue from Big D
Manchester City and Goal Click are collaborating to capture the passion and diversity of the City fanbase in the United States before we embark on our FIFA Club World Cup journey. We share the personal stories of City supporters across six US cities, highlighting the unique ways they support the team. Advertisement Originally from Mexico City, Emilio Silva found his second family in the Manchester City supporter group, Blue Moon Dallas. Oasis In The City My name is Emilio, and I am 30 years old, originally from Mexico City. I have lived in Dallas for over a decade and have spent the past six years working in the airline industry. Football has been a part of my life since childhood, thanks to my dad. We have always supported Club America, sharing unforgettable moments together. While Manchester City clinched the Treble, America were on a similar run with three league titles and chasing a fourth. WATCH THE FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP 2025 ON DAZN Advertisement As a kid, football is often your first true love. The first thing that makes you feel alive. There is nothing like the joy of a win and the heartbreak of a loss. Music is another lifelong passion. My dad introduced me to legends like The Beatles, Bee Gees, The Police, and Elvis Presley. Later, I discovered my own favourites like Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, Muse, The Stone Roses and above all - Oasis. In 2006, I learned that the Gallagher brothers were die-hard City fans and had played at Maine Road. I was hooked from there. Back then, City wasn't the giant it is today, but I did not care. I always chose them when I played FIFA with friends. That is when my love for the club truly began. Sound, Swagger, And Style My journey as a Manchester City fan did not begin like most international supporters. Growing up in Mexico, cable TV mostly showed La Liga and the biggest Premier League games, so I did not have a team I followed outside of Club America. Advertisement However, that changed when I discovered British music. Bands like The Smiths, The Jam, Stone Roses, Pulp, Blur, and especially Oasis sparked something in me. I started drumming to those songs in elementary school, formed a band in middle school, and one day my friend said, 'Let's play Supersonic.' That changed everything. Oasis became my world - their sound, swagger, style and their love for Manchester City. City did not have global superstars back then, but we had Nicolas Anelka, Micah Richards, Paul Dickov, a young Joe Hart, and even DaMarcus Beasley. Then came Elano, Martin Petrov and a name that made headlines in Mexico: Nery Castillo, signed under Sven-Goran Eriksson. That felt huge. I started searching for City games on TV and got my first jersey - the classic Le Coq Sportif kit. When Umbro came back, it was perfect because every Oasis fan knows Liam's iconic blue sweatshirt at Maine Road. Advertisement When Oasis split in 2009, I clung to City. The following season, we won the FA Cup under Mancini and finished third in the league. Tevez was the top scorer and I was in heaven. Then came May 13, 2012. My dad woke me up to watch the game. United had scored in their game. Then Zabaleta put us ahead. QPR equalised, then led. 'Typical City,' they said. But we fought back. Dzeko made it 2–2… and then came 93:20. Aguero to Balotelli. Balotelli to Aguero. AGUEROOOOOOO! I screamed, ran outside, cried, and hugged my dad. After 44 years, we were Premier League champions. It was one of the greatest days of my life. Advertisement In 2014, I moved to Dallas for college. It was hard at first because I missed home, but every weekend, I had City, and it kept me going. I graduated, made new friends, met my wife, and even met Noel Gallagher. He signed my arm, then I had it tattooed! Then came Pep. By 2018, we were playing breathtaking football. In 2019, I joined Blue Moon Dallas and finally had people to share matchdays with. That year, I also started working for an airline, which opened up a new chapter: traveling for City. Through my travel benefits, I have flown all over the world to attend City games! I have so many amazing memories from my journey as a City supporter, including watching them play against Club America and going to the Champions League Final in Istanbul, where I made great friends in the Chicago supporters club. I do have one superstition for finals or title-deciders. I always wear my 2022 home De Bruyne kit. It is my lucky charm. From Oasis in Mexico to celebrating history in Istanbul and singing in pubs with fans around the world, being a City fan has been unforgettable. Blue Moon Dallas Blue Moon Dallas began in the summer of 2012, sparked by Agüero's legendary title-winning goal against QPR. Advertisement Back then, a few Facebook pages with 'Dallas' and 'Man City' in their name connected, hoping to watch matches together. Our first official meetup was for the 2012 Community Shield vs. Chelsea, with just eight City fans. Now, over a decade later, Blue Moon Dallas has over 100 official members. We are also proud of the Noisy Neighbors Podcast, hosted by my mates Mulv and Joey who lead the group. It is the best City podcast out there. Even Johnny Marr from The Smiths has been on (and yes, he listens too, how cool is that?!). City's impact on Dallas is clear through the growth of our supporters club. We are part of a thriving Premier League fan scene, and everyone knows where to find us on match days - even for those 06:00 kickoffs! We have also hosted visiting supporters from New York, Chicago, Atlanta, and Mexico City. Carrying Momentum Supporting City during the FIFA Club World Cup is non-negotiable as part of my summer 2025 plans. Advertisement I am expecting a strong showing from the team. It has been a tough season at times, but Pep and the squad have turned it on when it mattered. They can carry that momentum into the tournament and, of course, I fully expect them to win it. It would be the perfect way to close the season and kick off the next one.

Los Angeles FC complete FIFA Club World Cup line-up
The line-up for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup is now complete. Los Angeles FC of the MLS became the 32nd - and final team - to earn a spot in this summer's spectacular event in a dramatic finish at the BMO Stadium. Advertisement After a goalless first half, Mexican giants Club America took the lead with a Brian Rodriguez goal on 64 minutes. And that looked to have been enough until Igor Jesus snatched an equaliser for the hosts on 89 minutes to force extra time. And with penalties looming, the MLS side scored again with just five minutes left through Denis Bouanga (pictured above) to seal a 2-1 win and complete the 2025 line-up. WATCH THE FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP 2025 ON DAZN LAFC, part-owned by Hollywood legend Will Ferrell and basketball superstar Magic Johnson, will now take their place in Group D, alongside Chelsea, Brazilian side Flamengo and Esperance de Tunis of Tunisia.
