They Dynamo finish the semi-final series of the CONCACAF Champions Cup against Pachuca on Thursday. The go into the road game with a two goal advantage but Pachuca has been playing well lately, their last three games they've won 3-0, 4-2, and 5-0. They also have the advantage of playing at high altitude. The game will be shown on FSC. I'm not sure what time it is though, the Dynamo site lists it at 7:30 but the FSC schedule shows it at 8:30. If we advance to the final then we will qualify for either the Club World Cup with a win or Copa Sudamericana so there is a lot on the line in this game.
If they can get a goal early, that would be huge. Pachuca would have to go all out attack a that point, leaving them open for a counter. Everyone is back from national team duty. Ching didn't play last week and Wade Barret only played a few minutes on Wed. Hopefully, they got to town early enough to acclimate to the altitude. It doesn't take long, but you definitely don't want to play just after getting off the plane. I've done that before and it sucks... I say Pachuca wins this 2-0 and Dynamo win in a shootout. Wells saves 3.
Pachuca is the SUPER LíDER (leader of points) in the Clausura 2007 Spring championship in MEXICO. It will be tough. GO DYNAMO!!!!! BEAT PACHUCA!!!! I don't know, LEROY420... Calero is really good... he plays for the COLOMBIAN National Team...
Not having Clark for this game due to injury will definitely hurt. Frankly, I'm pretty scared about this game due to the altitude - that is a huge advantage for Pachuca.
Gameday bump... Does anyone know when they might have gotten to town? I know that DC spent 9 days in Gudalajara before their game. It doesn't take but a day or 2 to get acclimated to the altitude. I still have a feeling that this is going to extra time and pk's. I feel pretty good about our chances of getting through. It's going to be tough. I'm sure Pachuca doesn't want the embarassment of losing to a bunch of gringos at home. GO DYNAMO!
I have not heard anything about their trip down there or their training because the chron has not covered anything. I will say this, y'all should tune in to watch the game because with no Astro or Rockets game tonight the city needs to turn it's attention to this because it is a pretty big deal.
Bernardo Fallas mentioned at some point (I can't rememebr when) that the Dynamo were planning to go down only 2 days early. I hope this doesn't hurt them, but who knows. 8,000 feet is tough.
wish this game was on FSN, since there's no Rockets or Stros game. Sigh. Guess I'll go to Buffalo Wild WIngs.
Yes, the plan the entire time was for him to finish his contract with Real (which ends at the end of May), take some time off, then join the Galaxy in August.
GOLASO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
