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.

A new Bay Area restaurant brings California flair to Spanish classics
On Monday, Cesar Hernandez and I updated our list of the best restaurants in Marin County, with new additions including a formidable Mexican brunch buffet and a Mill Valley bakery with an advanced degree in lamination. But there's only one new entry that is also a new restaurant, and that's Mijo in Corte Madera. A Cal-Spanish restaurant from the team behind Guesthouse in Kentfield and Petaluma's recently closed Easy Rider, Mjio is located in the Marketplace shopping center, right next to Book Passage. As you walk across the parking lot to Mijo's front door, you'll be hard pressed to forget that you're in a strip mall. On my visit, as I passed an outpost of the spectacularly named bakery chain Nothing Bundt Cakes, I could hear a mic'd fitness instructor pushing class packages through the open door of a pilates studio. But once you're inside Mijo, you're transported to — okay, not literal Spain, but a quite nice restaurant, one where attention has clearly been paid to the decor. There's a colorful mural on the back wall, cozy upholstered booths for two and larger ones for four, a long copper bar, lots of tile. I went with my editor-in-chief and son of Spain Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, who has been known to make a large-format paella for newsroom gatherings. He immediately pointed out details on the menu that, he feared, would cause the ghosts of his forebears to come ahaunting: potatoes in the croquetas, kiwi in the gazpacho, black garlic jus with the stuffed piquillo peppers. I tapped a fingernail on the 'Cali' part of the 'Cali - España' menu header. Even Emilio's ancestors would have to admit that the market salad ($15), Spanish or not, was exceptional. Tender lettuces, crunchy segments of asparagus and snap peas, blood orange supremes and chopped marcona almonds were bathed in a wonderfully bright dressing made with aged sherry vinegar. Jamón croquetas ($16 for five), thickened with potato instead of the traditional béchamel, were nonetheless satisfyingly lucious, as were the patatas bravas ($13), burnished little nuggets of joy. The one disappointment was the Mijo paella ($32 for a small portion, $52 for large). While attractively presented with charred lemons and shellfish standing at attention around the perimeter, it managed to be simultaneously over and undercooked. Those mussels and clams were stringy and desiccated, as were thin strips of chicken, while there was almost none of the crispy socarrat that should form on the bottom of the pan and be viciously fought over. The restaurant is only a few months old, so I think it's entirely possible they'll work out those paella kinks. But the tapas are ready for primetime, the interiors are charming and the service is warm. (Thanks, Daniela, for answering Emilio's many, many questions). Corte Madera residents should be pleased to have a new option in town. Mijo. 55 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera.

When every minute counts: Building resilience before the next disaster
A highway in Southern Oregon during the Almeda fire in September 2020. (Oregon Department of Transportation/Flickr) Emilio will never forget evacuating with his family during the Almeda fire in 2020. A sheriff knocked on the front door and told them they had five minutes to leave. It was not enough time to even gather your thoughts, let alone your belongings. But some people had no time at all. The sheriffs knocked and yelled, 'Time to go. NOW.' Some people saw the flames approaching and simply fled. The roaring Almeda fire had record-breaking winds, some of the strongest winds we've seen yet. Just a few weeks ago, we experienced record-breaking flooding. As extreme weather becomes more common, we all have even more haunting memories of these life-changing moments. As community organizers who have personally experienced the devastation of the Almeda fire, we are working hard now to prepare our community for the next climate disaster. Every minute counts. During the Almeda Fire, Spanish-speaking families showed up at the Expo in Jackson County along with all the other evacuees. But there was no one on hand who spoke Spanish, so we sent a bilingual staff person to help. Stronger communication systems can give people more time to prepare and recover, save lives, and smooth the path to recovery. This is what community resilience looks like in 2025. Our work is far-ranging and hands-on. We table at community events, knock on doors and hold workshops in Spanish and English. Our team has passed out emergency packets with bandages, blankets, water packs, and ice packs. When possible, we give out air filters and purifiers. We connect people and nurture the relationships that will help protect us in the next emergency. In 2023, Unite Oregon helped advocate for the statewide Community Resilience Hubs and Networks grant program to make sure our communities have the supplies and services needed to withstand disaster. This vital grant program invested $10 million in community-led efforts to prepare us for the next disaster. Part of the first round of funds came to the Rogue Valley chapter of Unite Oregon to strengthen communication between community groups and public agencies before, during, and after an emergency. With this state funding, we can help make sure everyone in our community can access help during the next disaster, no matter what language they speak. But that first grant cycle was only able to fund less than 15% of applications. Extreme weather is real, it's happening now, and we want everyone to be ready. As climate resilience becomes more important, we are glad to be one of 50 groups supporting the Building Resilience agenda, along with climate justice and public health organizations, business and labor, faith and frontline communities, environmental, family and youth organizations and thousands of individual Oregonians. The community resilience hubs coalition in tandem with the Building Resilience coalition is requesting $10 million to fund a second round of the Resilience Hubs and Networks Grant program. This investment in communities will provide the resources and connections needed to make it easier for Oregonians like us to withstand disaster. Community resilience hubs and networks can help immediately, but fortifying our neighborhoods and communities against disaster takes time. Bills before the Legislature could do just that by improving a one-stop resource for finding and combining incentives for efficiency upgrades, banning utility companies from charging junk rates and funding statewide heat pump incentive programs. These bills and investments aim to help Oregonians upgrade homes and buildings to achieve better health, lower costs, less pollution, and higher resilience. Together, these efforts work hand in hand to create a more resilient Oregon and more resilient communities. Our efforts are even more important as the federal government backtracks on promised funds to Oregon communities, leaving $85 million worth of community preparedness projects in limbo. Minute by minute, we are creating a safer, more prepared Rogue Valley, so that when the next disaster strikes, we all have more support and more time to get to safety.
