Clear and present danger in the form of the Kansas City Wizards. Not really.
Consider that the Dynamo were without Brian Ching, Ricardo Clark, Pat Onstad and Dwayne DeRosario and KC still gets a comprehensive thumping.
The 3-1 win may have been flattering to the Kansas City Wizards and the Dynamo proved out their depth again at home with Craig Waibel, Tony Caig, Stuart Holden and Kei Kamara all coming off the bench and not skipping a beat .
Now the 2pm kickoff is a disaster and is all about Telefutura and money not about putting the players in the best environment to play quality soccer.
Yet this game was entertaining and the players deserve credit for that as well as the 14,297 fans that braved the heat.
NATE JACQUA produced a two goals and an assist while BRAD DAVIS scored the first off a beautiful sequence that involved four players.
Kansas City just didn’t have it against a motivated MLS CUP Champion in one of the league’s toughest environments.

With the DYNAMO up 1-0 KC coach Curt Onalfo decided to stir the game up bringing on attacking players CARLOS MARINELLI formerly of Middlesbrough and new signing ABE THOMPSON (what were you thinking trading him Dallas?). The move was high risk with high reward .
It back-fired and after initial KC pressure the Dynamo hit KC on the counter-attack with Stuart Holden setting up Nate Jacqua. The game really stretched out and opened up. Made it fun for the fans but you got the feeling the game was over after the Dynamo second goal.
CLAUDIO LOPEZ, MARINELLI rarely threatened and KC was killed off slowly and comfortably through ball possession and the DYNAMO dominating every facet of this game.
KC continues to struggle to score goals……….and struggle on the road where they have only won once.
Special kudos to Davey Arnaud who despite being down 3-0 never gave up and produced a consolation goal for KC (hand ball ?).
DYNAMO are looking at two in a row against a motivated San Jose plus Champions league with a spicy match-up against UNAM PUMAS.
The seven point lead in the west is well deserved and one has to credit Kinnear and the players who stepped up.
Also, do not forget the value of Richard Mulrooney and his ability to move from right back to playing as a “balancing” midfielder. This is a critical piece of the puzzle and one can’t forget that he has been an MLS All Star in this position.
On an additional note DYNAMO owner OSCAR DE LA HOYA made an appearance outside the stadium and to loud cheers assured fans a stadium deal would get done. If fans want to get active and now is the time. Contact politicians EL FRANCO LEE and SYLVIA GARCIA and give them REASONS why a soccer stadium is need in our city! This could make a real difference!
