    When: RIGHT NOW
    Where: BMO Field, Toronto, Ontario
    Television: ESPN2, ESPN Deportes
    Radio: 790 AM (English), 850 AM (Spanish)

    The Dynamo have traded off MLS' most hostile atmosphere in Seattle for the second-most hostile in Toronto. The score is currently 0-0, but it's very early in the game. This is the Orange's first time to face Dwayne De Rosario in Toronto. We play the Reds with a very depleted roster due to injury, national team call-ups, and illness, but I hope we can get a strong showing today against Toronto. An unexpected victory would be great so that we can stay ahead in the Western Conference, but Toronto is hungry and I'd be happy to get the draw we were denied last week in Seattle.

    Yeah, DeRo has been getting behind our defense the whole game. That whole sequence in front of the goal just now was ridiculous. It's a pity that Geoff Cameron's curling shot hit the top corner's crossbar. I hope we can get through this half 1-0, Toronto is really pressuring.

    I am happy with this result and can't wait for our road trip of death to end. Interesting that DeRo didn't take that dangerous free kick on the last play of the game and Guevara had it instead. That was a great way to end a game with so much anticipation.

    It's funny how we came back even without Ching and Holden due to the Gold Cup. Why isn't DeRosario with his national team? :confused: they need him against Honduras right now down one zero.

    Leroy420, will you be going to the Aztex cup game? My brother and nephew are on the way there from here.

    I did not go. Had some friends going but I had some family obligations. Meyer Stadium is nice, but small. I'm betting it was crazy out there.

    Same here, I actually was at home flipping channels thinking it would be on 11.2 when it wasn't I went out and on the way home heard most of the end of it while flipping radio channels.

    Speaking of the Dynamo, can we get the Houston Sports forum heading to read "Texans, Astros, Dynamos"? The Comets no longer exist at least switch 'em out with the Dynamo, or heck even the Aeros :)

    I'd be glad to feed the tipjar for the effort!!

    I just got a new job and would be happy to direct some money to the tipjar to make this happen as well. Regardless, I'll toss some once I get my first paycheck.

    Dang, can't say much about last night's game except it was good play by both teams. Although it pisses me off, that another game and another former Dynamo player scores on us. Oh well it was just open cup and as nice as it would be to still be in it, it was a strain on the team, playing twice a week.
