I am calling you out!
Yes, I am calling you out to join me on “Dynamo All Access with Glenn Davis” tomorrow night from 7-9pm on 790 The Sports Animal.
Like usual I am looking forward to hear your takes on the “global” game including the champions league, USA and Mexican national team plus the the Dynamo.
Dynamo fans….what are your thoughts on the the two-time MLS Cup Champions. Are we in transition? Can Andrew Hainault and Ade Akinbiyi help to increase the depth of this squad?
Ok, that was the perfect entry for me to comment.
These two players could play a real “huge” part in things a few months from now.
Hainault is still apparently in a struggle to get paperwork correct before he can join the Dynamo, apparently this is very complicated.
Consider this, Hainault at center-back alongside Bobby Boswell which allows Geoff Cameron to take a rightful place in midfield to bring his energy.
I go back to the night he was running through people at UNAM PUMAS down the right side in Mexico City.
Akinbiyi is still a hope for this weekend’s game against the Red Bull at home. I wonder if he realizes how much hope is being placed on him to add to this club?

Dynamo All Access tomorrow night is gonna be a good one!
Guests include: Dynamo players who all accepted invitations to be on the show…Brad Davis, Bobby Boswell and Richard Mulrooney will all react to the DC game and the squad heading into their match against the Red Bull.
How about some information from the Red Bull from a former professional soccer player? Shep Messing who played in the goal for the New York Cosmos and is a respected broadcaster brings insight on the New York Red Bulls.
Of course as usual Dominic Kinnear the Dynamo head man will join us as well as former Dynamo and now Red Bull defender Kevin Goldthwaite.
I appreciate all these great guests and hope you will enjoy this show. Last week was an awesome show and we will take it up a notch again.
In fact I apologize to all the callers that did not get on the air but we were wall to wall calls for these two hours pretty much which is outstanding.
Your voice in the game is important and I want to know what is on your mind. Remember if you don’t catch the show live you can go to the podcast on 790thesportsanimal.com, click podcasts, click Glenn Davis and listen to your heart’s desire.

Call in number 713-212-5790. Streaming live on the internet at 790thesportsanimal.com and MLSnet.com

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE and REAL MADRID vs. DC United youth
Ok I hope my dentist is not reading this blog. I cancelled an appointment today so that I can see today’s Champions League match between Manchester United and Porto.
How about a little debt to pay for United on their Portuguese friends? Still love the genius of Alex Ferguson unafraid to play a 17 year old in their huge match against Aston Villa. Then the kid hits an amazing goal off the turn to beat U.S. goalkeeper Brad Friedel and runs to the crowd to celebrate with friends and family. You were introduced to Federico Macheda this past weekend in their 3-2 victory over Aston Villa.
The three points as opposed to one were huge for the Red Devils…….So I watched the Real Madrid u16 squad against the DC United youth squad before the Dynamo game at RFK. DC actually had the better chances during the first half and competed well before losing 1-0. Some excellent players with potential for United and some plying their trade at the Bradenton Academy.
Was not totally impressed with the way United was coached and to be fair Real Madrid were more savvy from a tactical perspective. Excellent game and a great experience for the United kids. So here is the difference. IN the next two years the DC United Academy kids will play against kids their own age while the Real Madrid top players will be getting in situations where they are training and playing against men……These next two years change dramatically for these two groups of players and at 18 there will be a huge difference in maturity.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TOMORROW
I know you are skipping work. It is ok but just come clean on this website.
PORTO at MANCHESTER UNITED ESPN2 at 1:30
ARSENAL vs. VILLAREAL

Wednesday
Chelsea at Liverpool
Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona

Could we see another all English league final. And English fans just remember how many foreigners are playing for these teams before you get too high on your horse. Just a gentle reminder

U.S. U20 National team
Emailed my friend and former teammate Thomas Rongen to see if he was at RFK Stadium and little did I know that he was in Egypt at the draw for the u20 World Cup.
Ok, I am a slacker not knowing and being aware. Must have still been in that Salt Lake City to DC haze.
By the way it is not fun when your plane is aborted upon landing because another plane is on the runway, nothing like gunning the engines to climb back into the sky.
So I got an email that simply said, ‘I am in Egypt’.
So here is the U.S. under 20 draw for the Fifa Youth World Cup to be played from Sept. 24 – Oct. 16
Germany, Cameroon and the Korea Republic constitute an incredibly diverse and difficult group for the U.S.
I like how coach Thomas Rongen responded.
“We have definetly been drawn into a strong group, perhaps the strongest of the tournament, but that poses a great opportunity,”.
Rongen then went on to say it could be a showcase for U.S. Soccer. This tournament is clearly the most important for Fifa behind the mens World Cup.
Scouts are crawling at this event from clubs from around the globe.

FUTBOL FANATIC PACK
Tickets to the Gold Cup and Mexico coming to Reliant Stadium don’t go on sale until April 17.
