The Dynamo and Chivas meet today at Robertson Stadium. Dynamo finished out June without a loss, but with only two wins, they left a lot of points on the table.
Today we're only three points from first place…but also only three points from fourth place. We treaded water maintain our sights on first place, but we also didn't distance ourselves from the others in the Western Conference. A loss today puts C-USA in second and drops us to third. We need a win today.
At least Ching seems to be back in form
In my opinion, Dynamo are controlling the pace and possession well, they just need more composure in front of the goal. Ching should bring more of that, but other players need to step up. Ricardo Clark and DeRo are proven scorers, but the other strikers and midfielders have a history of squandering great opportunities.
It's reassuring that Dynamo are not satisfied with their recent run of form.
"We're good enough that we can be frustrated," said Craig Waibel.
"We're definitely not where we want to be," said De Ro.
"We're getting tired of having the same conversation after every game that teams that don't deserve to be getting a point off us are," said Eddie Robinson.
"Let's just say I think we're playing below ourselves right now, and the results are showing that," said Coach Kinnear.
World Cup
Today Germany plays Portugal for third place. Tomorrow Italy plays France. I'm pulling for Germany and France versus the teams that have made a killing off diving. (Though France's Thierry Henry helped push his team through with a dive. He's not alone though.) I guess it comes down to my appreciation of the individual over the organization. I like what Jurgen Klinsmann has done with Germany and I'd like him to prove his Deutsch detractors wrong, and I'd like to see France's Zinedine "Zizou" Zidane go out on top. Seeing the Italian and Portuguese divers lose would also be nice...but can anyone score on the Italians this World Cup?
