Dear Paul Delgadillo,

Mr. Delgadillo… Paul… May I call you Paul? I saw you at the game last night, Paul. You were amazing. I have never seen a referee possess so much grace and charm. You command respect from the soccer world, and the soccer world obliges.

The Dynamo Should Dive More

By: Jeremy | Comments 2 Comments

Yes, you read that correctly; Dive, flop, or simulation (as FIFA calls it). It seems the Dynamo have faced a few divers lately, and what are the results of those games? The divers won.

A Schedule Conflict & Other Stuff

By: Jeremy | Comments 1 Comment

How’s this for scheduling? The Dynamo/Crew match takes place on September 13th, smack-dab in the middle of the NFL’s first full-swing Sunday.
