Chicago whacks DC/ Dynamo Soccer Report with Glenn Davis Friday night

Ok I just got through watching the DC/CHICAGO game . Boy is United in shambles.
Their soccer struggled so much in this one that their fans deservedly got most of the on camera time.
Ok jokes aside what we must remember is the amount of change that has ocurred at United.
Couple that with JAIME MORENO who clearly can’t carry a game anymore but can still provide a moment.
LUCAS NEILL works hard but achieves little and SANTINO QUARANTA is a starter?
Now I am a great fan and an admirer of Moreno but he is in the downward spiral (nature calling) while Quaranta looks completely different then the talented teen that entered the league a few years ago.
Where did it all go wrong for him?
Marcello Gallardo is still a large question mark in making the adjustment to MLS worthy of his salary. And Luciano Emilio and others are not motivated, this team currently has no leader. And the one that could lead BEN OLSEN is injured.
Teams in MLS are built for three year time periods basically based on salary cap and incremental pay raises and ultimately have to be dismantled to a degree.

Chicago is solid and Denis Hamlett is carrying the momentum of last year into this season adding his own touches.
Cuahutemoc Blanco may have had some off field romance problems in the last few months but he is delivering as a leader of the Fire and is making game changing plays every single game. Soccer wise and commercially he has been a “Saint” in MLS.
Bet he never heard that before.
JOHN THORRINGTON is coming to life and JUSTIN MAPP produces the game winning goal to bite his former club.
Two games in a row former United players have torched their former team.

DYNAMO SOCCER REPORT WITH GLENN DAVIS FRIDAY NIGHT AT 9:30 PM

Conspiracy theory: Wigan vs. Manchester United/ Stadium news….

Manchester United and Chelsea with one game left in the Premier League are tied on points. Manchester United go to Wigan while Chelsea entertain Bolton.

So are you buying in to all the rumors about Wigan laying down for Manchester United this weekend in the EPL because a former United player Steve Bruce is the manager of Wigan?

Does the Manchester United mafia conspire on this one? Who knows but one thing I know is that if Wigan were to pull of a draw or a win and it costs United the Premier League title he WOULD go down in Manchester United history for being the manager that helped deny them the EPL title. Just a thought.

* Ok, before you get up in arms about the proposed partnering of the Dynamo and TSU remember that the ultimate gain is to get the stadium built.
This is a winner for TSU in the eyes of local perception and can help a damaged reputation, they have to be chomping at the bit to get involved.
If this gets the stadium built and over the top I will now become a TSU Football fan……..

*DC United is a team in transition.
Lets face it. Luciano Emilio is un-motivated, Gallardo is still learning the league, Ben Olsen is out injured and his career in jeopardy and it is interesting to see if this team can pull all the pieces together. Former Dynamo Zach Wells has been average in goal and role players like Brian Carroll have moved on.
Good news financially, a shirt deal with Volkswagen that is worth 3 million a year.

* Ok Dynamo fans, what can YOU offer Joseoph Ngwenya to come back to Houston. Some fans have offered room and board while others have emailed with other incentives for Joseph. Can you imagine the buzz and excitement his return could bring this franchise. One thing we know is that a technical threat and speed is needed next to Brian Ching.

*Would you like to see Diego Simeone go to Spain and be manager of Athletico Madrid? I like seeing him as manager of River Plate. Just brings more to the Boca/River rivalry.

*Of course you need to get out locally in Houston for the Dynamo and Rapids this Saturday at Robertson Stadium.
So will Fernando Clavijo the Colorado coach play with two forwards at Robertson Stadium like he did in a two goal win over DC United this past weekend?
Based on the history of opponents coming in expect the 4-5-1. Lets just hope they play a bit more than Chivas USA this past weekend.

* LA vs. New York on HDNET this weekend is a juicy encounter also with some star quality.

*My apologies to the fans that made it out to the STAGS HEAD PUB near Sheperd and 59, we had to divert the live broadcast of “Dynamo All Access with Glenn Davis” back to the studio after problems with phone lines and weather.
Many remained and listened to the show at the pub and apparently had a good time.
Thanks for the support.
