Houston Dynamo (the red headed step-child) is bestowed the presence of a gracious and glamorous Quad DP francise (the golden child) that is LA. after watching LA curb stomp the quakes with 5 unanswered goals and the fact that we have so many players missing due to injury or gold cup it's not a stretch to say that we are once again underdogs in our own backyard. Meanwhile, LA fans are relishing the soon arrival of the un-necessarily redundant 4th DP in Giovanni Dos Santos (who unfortunately would have fit very nicely in the #10 attacking midfield role in Houston) - SOMETHING WE TRULY HAVENT HAD SINCE DEWAYNE DEROSARIO LEFT! Anyway there's this as well - Houston Dynamo vs. LA Galaxy BBVA Compass Stadium (9 pm ET, MLS LIVE) REF: SILVIU PETRESCU AR1: Anthony Vasoli AR2: Kevin Klinger 4TH: Nima Saghafi Have a nice day
Someone got impatient, I guess. That's fine. I don't like to start a new game thread while we have a game to play. I'll add my contribution to this thread after the game tonight.
Also, There is a GAA (that's Irish Code of Football) match right after our Houston vs. L.A. Moneybags encounter.

Our roster for this game will be uh, interesting. We only dressed 17 tonight but the Nigerian kid wasn't on the team sheet I assume for some eligibility issue. But even adding him we lose Sarkodie and Garrido due to cards and not sure what is going on with both Alex' and Rico looked hobbled at the end.
Hopefully in was a cramp, but Rico looked to be having hammy issues. If it's more than cramps you can count him out.
Can a mod somehow insert Newtex's stats to the top? Is that impossible? Who am I kidding...there aren't any mods lolol
My thinking is that all the kiddos get to play and we get an exciting yet scratchy futbol performance from those guys. Or maybe their inexperienced side shows too much and it gets ugly pronto!! :/
LA lost to Barcelona last night, 1-2. http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/artic...ning-european-champions-dazzle-record-crowd-r The Galaxy used 22 different players so there shouldn't be any effect on Saturday's game.
Before, like go ahead and stand in formation during the national anthem so we send that message early. lol
We fill up the 6-yard boxes with leftover sand from the Kenny Chesney concert to form a 2- foot high wall
