Tonight, Robertson hosts Deportivo Saprissa, the most storied team in Costa Rica, in the first leg of the semifinal round of the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. Nothing short of a win tonight, an preferably by multiple goals, will be considered a success for the Dynamo. By all accounts, getting a win in San Jose is very difficult.
The Chronicle has its pre-match article from B-Fall. Bad news: we'll be missing three key midfielders due to injury: Brad Davis (groin), Brian Mullan (knee) and Stuart Holden (ankle). Good news: Ricardo Clark can play. I guess we'll also have Mulrooney on the right and Ashe on the left. Hopefully Waibel can play right back. Wondolowski will probably start with Ching, with Boswell next to ERob in the middle of the defense. Ching, DeRo, Clark, and Barrett will be in their usual positions, I'd wager. Dom doesn't tinker much when things are going well. (But ARE things going well is the question.)
The article mentions how the MLS really wants Dynamo-Houston (and DC, who played Pachuca last night) to succeed in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. ORLY? Says Glenn Davis. He writes in his blog that if the MLS truly is interested in seeing its teams succeed in these competitions, it wouldn't make the teams play on 3 days rest.
B-Fall has some great pre-game notes. Check out his link to DeRo's twin!
MLS has its pre-game article. And a Saprissa scouting report.
Alright, Dynamo, it's time to put the opening day malaise behind us and show the nation (and Costa Rica) that we are the class of the MLS and the region.
