It’s amazing how many high profile games have come to Houston since 2003.
Soccer fans have taken in both the U.S. Men and Womens National teams, Mexican Men and Womens National teams as well as Interliga and the Gold Cup in 2005.
Couple that with MLS playoffs, the Barcelona tour, and the Copa Tejas that featured Everton and we are pretty fortunate as soccer fans.
The Gold Cup will come once again this summer of 2007 featuring the top National teams in Concacaf. Reliant Stadium has once again been chosen and Houston clearly now is being considered for every major soccer match that is put on the table.
Another reason why a soccer specific stadium for the Dynamo and the sport needs to be built.
“As we saw in 2005 Houston is a fantastic city for soccer and Reliant Stadium is one of the country’s finest facilities. The best attended game of the Gold Cup 2005 was played there and we are all looking forward to the games it will host in 2007,” said Chuck Blazer the General Secretary of Concacaf.
The game Blazer was referring to was the Mexico/Jamaica game.

The Superclasico between Club America and Chivas starts tonite at Jalisco Stadium(Telefutura at 9pm) in Guadalajara. Soccer fans this is not one to be missed.
Televisa backed Club America will then host the second league this Sunday at Azteca Stadium also televised on Telefutura.
The teams meet in the playoffs for the first time since 1999 when America defeated Chivas on a goal by Cuauhtemoc Blanco. Blanco again is one of the main characters tonite in a match that features numerous Mexican Internationals.
Mexican league playoffs are open and entertaining, don’t miss it.

Michael Sambursky ( Cypress Springs, Hurricanes Soccer Club), Jerson Monteiro (Robert E. Lee, Houstonians soccer club), Dane Richards (San Jacinto College) all have been selected to participate in the MLS Adidas Player combine in January 5-8 at Lockhart Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Again it reminds us that great soccer talent heads out of Texas and the Houston area every year.
How lazy is it that international institutions like UT, Texas AM, UH, and Rice University do not have mens division 1 soccer. Why must all the talented male youth players have to leave this state to pursue soccer and an education?
It is just lazy. One division one soccer program in all of Texas it really makes you wonder in University regents have their eyes open.
