    Not to get off topic from the Ashe v. other LB on our team (?) and Carr v. Oduro (who wasn't in favor of that trade when it happened), but is it just me or is this a pretty important game in terms of league standing. If not must win, than definite six pointer. Our games in hand are essentially gone and a loss tonight puts us three games back from the Fire and behind Columbus on PPG (i.e. out of the playoffs). Very scary situation to be in considering this is a relatively favorable part of the schedule. I know Grazzini is out for Chicago, any word on the full injury list for tonight's game?

    I just bought three tickets for the brads brigade thing and they said it was completely sold out but were gonna put fold out chairs on the concourse for my 3. Hope the seats aren't empty.

    Here you go:


    I thought I read somewhere that Robayo also did not make the trip due to a shoulder injury but he's not listed here.

    i read robayo isn't here because of his still unresolved personal issues. either way, the flames have quite a few missing and/or injured folks tonight. even though we are tired, their omissions put us on level ground and we should (must!) win this one.

    we will win if we find a way to fix stupid......

    Houston 3, Fire 3

    (A bit hopeful, but lit a candle to the Virgin of Suyapa)

    Grazzini is the one with the unresolved "personal" issues and Argentinian, Robayo is a Colombian Midfielder. ;)

    But you are correct that tired or not we need to take advantage of those absences and being at home vs a team that we are chasing in the standings.

    Sarkodie not on the injury report? Would love to see him get some time.

    Let It Be Said that when I buy a Dynamo ticket or turn on the TV at gametimes, I always start watching with the naive hope it all works out alright. I think deep down we all do.

    Ja, ja, ja. Juve, has anybody stolen your identity and posting fake stuff on your behalf? This post does NOT sound like you... ja, ja, ja.

    You are getting mellow.

    I think we just went from a soft to a difficult part of the schedule Fire KC DC KC again (even TFC and Montreal don't look so easy anymore) and I'm going to be interested what the result is. We've been a better home than road team, which I think reflects the fact we'd until Boniek been built in one specific direction that seems more meant for one stadium BBVA than any other.

    The weather usually resolves by the early evening here, pre-game, but it is rumbling downtown at this hour, sea breeze t-storms.

    Yeah, once I got out of the office (north facing) the nasty clouds were all north and moving further that way. Should be warm n humid.

    Who knows? Not on injury report but they said something on the telecast about a hamstring. But then they mentioned all the transfer offers.

    In the second half, Glenn suggests the Dynamo needs width and penetration. Insert joke here.

    I'd imagine a transfer is close. Some poster in YA forum says a 3 yr deal to Stoke has been agreed?

    The usual progression is transfer fee discussion then contract terms so if they're on the contract segment he's all but gone, we might hold him out for a shaving cut. Would explain two excuses instead of one.

    Stoke would be an amusing destination because Pulis traditionally plays a staid defensive 442 like we have, like looking in a mirror.

    Time for subs. A little Ching precision might help but a little mid energy too. Moffat is anonymous, Camargo not much better.

    Might also try pushing Davis to F to increase his dangerous touches.
