Big D going to Big D (same week, same teams, different venue)

Tomorrow, Dynamo makes the trek to Dallas -- er, Frisco -- to play FCD (Fakin' Cheatin' Divers). Didn't we just do this last weekend?

Last weekend's game was everything a rivalry should be: lots of goals, lots of crowd noise, and the good guys won. The FCD supporters had a good representation, but were awfully silent that first half for some reason...perhaps because they were down 3-0 and had had only one good shot on goal (by the Chief Faker Cheater Diver: Ruiz). Things got a little more interesting in the second half, with Ruiz picking up the trash for one goal and an unmarked Nunez heading a goal in amidst a sea of ball-watching defenders, but the final result was as it should be.

Funny story from the game: a woman was walking around in a bodysuit with organs painted all over her body. (She was promoting some center or museum or something.) As she passed by our section, she went into a cheerleader pose and shouted "Come on Dynamo!" We were speechless, staring at her "organs." So she responded "Oh you must be Dallas fans." Then she turned, pointed to her butt and said, "Dall-ass." She repeated that a few more times for the slow-to-catch on, then was on her merry way.

This time around, we're heading to Frisco without Brian Ching. Everyone suspects that the front pair will be Cerritos and Moreno, but I wouldn't be surprised if DeRo moved up. The line-up could look like:

F: DeRo, Moreno
M: Davis, Clark, Serioux, Mullan
D: Barrett, Robinson, Cochrane, Waibel
G: Onstad

We'll see. Here's hoping that (1) we can keep our scoring streak going, and (2) we don't have the occasional yet costly lapses in the defensive third.
