Ching and Robinson are out, Ching for obvious reasons, Eddie because he accumulated his 5th yellow (that makes 8 yellows and a red, I love that guy)

the Dynamo have played RSL at home twice both 2-1 victories. I see this game as a tough one to win without the two mentioned guys above AND it is always hard to beat a team three times in a row no matter what sport.

Brian Mullen is moving up to forward with Alejandro, Stuart Holden will start at mid with De Ro acting as a pushing mid.

I would almost be happy coming out with 1 point but I want the 3 (oh yeah and LA to beat Dallass)

GO DYNAMO!!!

sort of what I expected. tough to beat a team 3 times in a row. RSL wins 3-1

Come on LA!!!

I know that i will get roasted for this BUT here goes: I pull for both of the Texas teams. I want Houston (where i currently live) to win and for Dallas (where i moved from) to win.

I want these two teams to meet in the conference finals every year with the winner taking the championship. I know that there is a budding rivalry (though FCD fans seems to ignore it) but i pull for both.

If i have to pick here is my struggle. I 'claim' Dallas as home, or at least where i am from. But i am far more familiar with the Dynamo than the Hoops b/c of where i currently live...so if i have to pick it would be the Dynamo.

Anyone else pull for both or do you have one or the other?

I know a few people at least who lived in Houston and wanted a team to root for in MLS so they were Burn fans until the Dynamo came into town. I'm not one of them but there are many who like both.

As for the game, RSL's first "goal" was quite possibly the most awful call I have ever seen a ref make in any sport...I'm not even exaggerating.

Yeah, that was a really bad call. I had to laugh at the RSL coach making the 1966 World Cup joke.

On the bandwagon since birth. Raised in the bleachers of Kyle, Olsen, and G. Rollie White

THANK YOU LA!!!

What a tight race the western is shaping out to be. All playoff spots are still up for grabs.
