The two major sports outlets have their previews of the 2007 Dynamo.
ESPN has their preview of the team up. Our key addition is much less impressive than other team's off-season addition. I'm sure John Michael Hayden will do his best to dispel that notion over time.
Many of the general themes are echoed here from other publications: does Dynamo have the depth to endure its busy schedule, can Ching stay healthy, can they defend their title. Wynalda throws a left-handed compliment out there: "This team is not the best group of soccer players in the league...It's a group that has figured out a system and figured out a way to play. The Dynamo enjoy playing at home. Their fans love them and they will always be a difficult game for everybody." Team chemistry is mentioned as the team's "ace in the hole." It is indeed a big reason for their success.
Fox Sports lists Dynamo at the top of the power ranking. That's a nice compliment, but will surely change when the stumbles and droughts come, and they likely will. As long as the team is back on top at the end of the season, everything will be fine.
And how nice would it be to prosper in international play as well as domestic play. We'll see how likely that is at 8:30 PM on Fox Soccer Channel on Thursday.
