Twenty seven goals in two games/ City still top / Dynamo pre-season begins

Calling two consecutive soccer matches on Universal Sports to the scorelines of 14-0 and 13-0 was certainly a first and not easy. You must keep dignity and respect for the country that is over-matched yet be truthful about what is being seen.
The U.S. Women defeated the Dominican Republic and Guatemala by the above scorelines. In the first game Amy Rodriguez came off the bench to score five second half goals and in the second game Sydney Leroux did the same thing.
It is hard to judge or measure things from a game like this but I am impressed by the U.S. women for this reason: in games like this teams and players can lose interest or begin to become selfish. None of this happened with the U.S. who remained focused in these two “training” exercises and their collective effort did not fray or turn “individual” or “selfish” which games like this have a tendency to do. The mental acumen was on display as the U.S. women continued to take both of these games serious.
They have an edge and a fire and it will be interesting to see if Mexico can be competitive on Tuesday.
The large win over the Dominican Republic came at a cost as Ali Krieger was straight legged by a defender and her Olympic dreams have disappeared for this summer in London. The danger of these types of games.

CITY WIN, UNITED WIN
Some great games in the EPl this weekend and Manchester City pulled out a beauty of a three points against Spurs with the late Mario Balotelli pk while Manchester United took the full three points at Arsenal.
My money is still on United with their experience to win the EPL title narrowly.

DYNAMO OFF AND RUNNING
The Dynamo today are off and running with their pre-season training.
Some moves have strengthened the squad but it will be interest to see who the Dynamo secure as a higher profile attacking move. Squad still looking for strikers and a wide midfield player that can widen the game out.
This season is going to be remarkable in the new BBVA Compass Stadium.

MEXICO vs. VENEZUELA
Wednesday El Tri comes to their Houston home to take on Venezuela.
Tickets can be purchased at Ticketmaster and Fiesta Ticketmaster.
Lets hope Venezuela decides to try and attack a bit more than in their 1-0 loss to the U.S.

Dynamo All Access and Soccer Matters will not air this week but return next week at their normal times.
