Your Daily Dynamo

Oscar De La Hoya will be purchasing 50 % of the Dynamo from AEG.

If you read the article it states that Oscar will own 25% and his partners managing group will own the other 25%, I can understand AEG selling off this stake somewhat….but if you want to sell a team wouldn’t you want to get rid of your whole stake? I have heard rumors and nothing more on this and now some concrete evidence comes out I can’t decide if this is a good thing or bad thing, what do you the loyal fan think? Here is a good interview that Glenn Davis did with Oscar here.

Interesting little article on Oregon and Dynamo product Nate Jaqua can be found on the front page of socceramerica.com. (Having some trouble linking this article)

In about 2 weeks time our boys in orange will be marching towards the 08′ CONCACAF Champions cup, The winner of this tournament gets a birth into spot in this years FIFA club world cup, I personally would love to see the Dynamo competing in Japan this december hell..I would even like to see DC United there. All the US played games will be shown on Fox Soccer Channel (Some on tape delayed :P).

Here is a quick run down of the schedule:

(Thanks to My Soccer Blog for the info.)

It looks like we have somehwat of a tough schedule but I wouldn’t hit the panic button quite yet, CSD Municipal are a storied club I think the Dynamo are just going to be the better team, Although it does look like DC have the easier of the teams.

    Although I must admit, this photo is much creepier. What on earth possessed the man to have photos taken?

    No, wait, don’t answer that.

    Daryl, I can’t get the Jaqua link to work. Is it possible to fix it? He’s a former Galaxy guy and I always thought the team shafted him. I’d like to see what he’s up to.

    Actually, the link problem may be my computer. I’m having similar problems with other links. I’ll reboot and get back to you.
