This is my first Dynamo game since coming out to San Diego (was out of town last week) and I am very excited to watch the game from 4pm to 6pm and then still have the option of going to the Astro Padre game (although I am leaning towards going tomorrow). West coast early starts are super sweet for someone not working.
Apparently today is Canada day, so I'll say the Dynamo win 2-0 on goals from Andrew Hainault & Adrian Serioux.
Well I was originally going to post a prediction of a 1-0 win to the Dynamo with DeRo deliberately scoring against Toronto in extra time with a goal celebration including him revealing a Dynamo T-shirt under his Toronto FC kit. But then I thought, nah, too unlikely
pretty obvious that it will be Ching and Ngwenya at F, after Oduro and Weaver played 90 on Tue and Landin got hurt. Pat, BB.com, Hainault, Ashe, Davis and Mullan were rested on Tue. Chewie and Palmer will probably start after playing on Tue (Chewie w/major minutes). If Eddie played 90 on Tue, does he start tonight? You could do some shuffling to get Hainault in at CB, or start everyone's favorite Cochrane (only played 45 on Tue).
the Dynamo are winless at BMO field with a loss & two draws. TFC hasn't lost at home this season. hopefully we can get the offense up & running, any ideas who the front 2 will be? Ching & Landin? i'm hoping Ching & Oduro
I would tend to agree with zolafan's quote from the first page... "pretty obvious that it will be Ching and Ngwenya at F, after Oduro and Weaver played 90 on Tue and Landin got hurt"
i didnt think Landin's knee was that banged up. working offshore i sometimes get out of the loop though
On these Thursday Night GOTW ESPN broadcasts we used to have a team that would go full throttle and enjoy their football. Lot's of goals or at least goals to remember like Joes from a few years back. It will be nice to see the guys back on this Thurs. night time slot. DALE DYNAMO!

[LINEUP-4-4-2]Mullan, Ching, Ashe, Palmer, Ngwenya, Cruz, Chaballa, Cochrane, Boswell, Hainult, Onstad[/LINEUP-4-4-2]
Too early to say that. Both have come out attacking from the get go. That won't keep up the entire match. It'll settle down.
Boswell is playing great. Can't say the same for the rest of our backline. I feel like it is just a matter of time before they score. The good news is we are getting some chances too.
