Clinic at San Jacinto / Dynamo prep for Atlante / Gulati and Osborne on Dynamo All Access with Glenn Davis

The Dynamo will sign Academy goalkeeper Tyler Deric today at a press conference.
Deric from Spring, Texas played soccer at the Texas Soccer Club before spending a season at North Carolina before leaving school and returning to Houston.
Deric has been pushing hard in training for the Dynamo and has gotten solid reviews from veteran goalkeeper Pat Onstad.
Nothing like having another local boy on the Dynamo along with midfielder Stuart Holden.
A dream come true for this young man………I remember the first professional contract that I signed and like any pro it is a moment you don’t forget.

Andrew Hainault is coveted by manager Dominic Kinnear who feels he could center back or play right back and add to the depth of the squad at the back. The Dynamo are in negotiation to try and sign the former Canadien U20 player.
The Dynamo have money to spend and have to open roster spots out of their 20 players with the prime target an additional striker.

CONCACAF MOUTH WATERING

Lets face it.
A major opportunity is out there for the Dynamo, Puerto Rico Islanders and Montreal Impact.
The way the draw has been set up in the Concacaf Champions League means there is an interesting yet difficult path to possibly get to the World Club Cup.
With Montreal having a real shot with a two goal cushion to knock out Santos, the Dynamo still in it with Atlante and Puerto Rico having the edge against Marathon the sky is the limit.
Who will rise? Hard to tell as these two legged affairs are tricky and can change by the minute or by the goal.
The Dynamo will scrimmage Montreal tomorrow who could potentially be a semi-final opponent.

Cruz Azul holds a 1-0 edge over Pumas in a tie that will see a solid Mexican Club eliminated.

RAFAEL OUT

Talented young Manchester United defender Rafael will be out for a month with a fractured ankle. The 18 year old got the injury in the 2-1 Red Devils win over Blackburn.
I have equally enjoyed and been amazed by the attitude of this young player in games I have watched him. He has appeared 11 times in EPL play scoring one goal and has been a regular in Carling Cup play.

So what does your soccer weekend entail? Heading to the youth fields? Playing in an amateur league? Coaching? Or taking in the Dynamo Atlante match.
Don’t forget the free clinic at San Jacinto College this weekend!!!!
The event called Futbol Fiesta sponsored by Fiesta is a free soccer clinic followed by a game between nationally ranked San Jacinto College and Ligas Unidas.
Register at 281-922-3475………limited to the first 200 youths between 6-14…..I am heading to Austin to take a look at the Aztex and the NE Revolution after the Dynamo game.
