Tex-Mex: Dallas eye Davino

FC Dallas are reportedly close to a deal with Mexico defender Duilio Davino, 31, formerly of Club America.

Davino has 84 caps with the Mexican national team, including earning a spot on Mexico's 1998 World Cup roster, in addition to making over 300 appearances for Club America. He was released last season. He is the son of the former Argentine footballer Jorge Davino.

MLS brass are trying call this a high profile move, second only to Blanco, but something tells me that he will have less of an impact than his former Club America teammate had last year in Chicago. "Mexican defender" is a bit of an oxymoron.
