Tonight, Dynamo-Houston treks to Kansas to face the Wizards. (Game preview.) This'll be the first time we face KC in Kansas, with previous meetings being held at cavernous Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri. We play at CommunityAmerica Ballpark, a minor league baseball park that is home to the unaffiliated Kansas City T-bones. How's that for a team name?
The park should be an intimate affair with fewer than 10,000 spectators, but they will be louder than anything heard at Arrowhead. And the Wizards should be tougher than we remember, given their upgrade with some imported talent. KC historically relied on American talent (Preki being considered American, but that might be a stretch), but this season Curt Onalfo has taken a page from DC's book to create KC's roster. The team had an impressive start to the season, but stumbled in their last game. It will be interesting to see how both teams respond to mid-week disappointments, although Dynamo will be harder pressed given the amount of travel they've done this week and the fact that they're still hamstrung by injuries.
Oh yeah: Caig will be between the posts. Does that mean we're spotting KC 2 goals? Or will Caig man up and show us he's worthy of wearing Orange? I think he can be a success, but I have little proof to back me up thus far. How about starting with stopping the shots that should be stopped and intercepting some crosses?
My mission today: find a sports bar with HDNet and no hesitation to playing soccer on its screens.
