You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.90.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:02, 6 April 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Joao Joaquim DeBrito Jr.''' (December 3, 1968 &ndash; March 25, 2020), known as '''John DeBrito''', was a [[soccer player]] who played as a [[Defender (association football)|defender]] and [[midfielder]]. He was an All American at [[Southern Connecticut State University]], spent at least one season playing indoor soccer, then played eight seasons outdoor, including six seasons in [[Major League Soccer]]. Born in [[Portuguese Cape Verde]], he earned six [[cap (sports)|caps]] with the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States national team]] from 1991 to 1992.

==Youth and college==
DeBrito was born in [[Cape Verde]], but attended the [[W.F. Kaynor Technical High School]] of [[Waterbury, Connecticut]].  He finished his high school soccer career as one of the highest-scoring players in state history.  Following high school, DeBrito attended Division II [[Southern Connecticut State University]] where he played on the men's soccer team from 1987 to 1990.  In 1988, he was named a second-team All-Star.  The next year, he led the Owls to the Division II championship, scoring both Southern Conn goals in the victory.  In 1990, he was a first-team All-Star.  In his four years with the Owls, DeBrito scored twenty goals and dished out thirty-two assists.<ref>[http://www.southernowls.com/pdfs/msc_guide06.pdf Southern Owls Media Guide] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071020122857/http://www.southernowls.com/pdfs/msc_guide06.pdf |date=2007-10-20 ))</ref>

==Professional==
In 1991, the [[Tulsa Ambush]] of the [[National Professional Soccer League (1984–2001)|National Professional Soccer League]] (NPSL) drafted DeBrito.

He played in twenty-one games in the 1996 season, which he played as a defender.  The Revolution waived DeBrito on March 17, 1997, and was quickly claimed by the [[New York Red Bulls|MetroStars]].  He played eight games with the MetroStars before moving to the [[Sporting Kansas City|Kansas City Wizards]] for the remainder of the 1997 and the 1998 season.  In 1999, the [[Columbus Crew SC|Columbus Crew]] selected DeBrito in the second round of the [[1999 MLS Supplemental Draft|Supplemental Draft]].

DeBrito played for the Burn in the [[2001 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup|U.S. Open Cup]], but never saw time in any league games before being released by Dallas on July 1, 2001.  DeBrito finished out the 2001 season with the [[Connecticut Wolves]] of [[USISL]].

==National team==
DeBrito earned six [[cap (sports)|caps]] with the [[United States men's national soccer team|U.S. national team]].  His first game came as a substitute to [[Marcelo Balboa]] in a 1-0 loss to [[Bermuda national football team|Bermuda]] on February 21, 1991.  He was not called into the national team again until February 12, 1992, this time starting alongside Balboa in a scoreless tie with [[Costa Rica national football team|Costa Rica]].  Over the next eight months, he appeared in a handful of games, most as substitutes until his last cap on October 9, 1992.  In 1993 DeBrito played with the U.S. at the [[1993 Summer Universiade|World University Games]].
