Who’ll Stop The Rain?
By: Jeremy | September 22nd, 2009
After what appeared to be a whole mess of home cookin’ the last time these two teams faced eachother, the weather seems to favor the road team this time around. Here’s a brief lesson in climatology… Arabe Unido hails from Colon, a city in Panama that averages 129 inches of rain each year. Houston averages 54 inches per year. If you look at the radar, odds are the field will be a tad on the wet side, and I’d say Arabe Unido probably has more experience handling slick balls. (rimshot)
The Dynamo will be slightly shorthanded at the forward position tonight. But if you ask me, they still have their two best forwards available. Brian Ching and Cam Weaver should start and newly acquired Abe Thompson will provide relief off the bench. Luis Angel Landin isn’t eligible for CONCACAF competition and Dominic Oduro is suspended due to a red card versus Pachuca.
If you remember, Arabe Unido and the Dynamo didn’t exactly play nicely when they met in Panama last month. The refs dished out 11 yellow cards and 5 red cards so look for more of the same tonight. Hopefully the refs won’t allow Arabe Unido to persuade bully them into making calls this time.
It’s a late start, 9:00. But to make up for it the Dynamo are offering $5 tickets. That’s not a bad deal. Or you can watch on FSC.
One last thing – Offside Houston would like to congratulate Brad Davis on his Player of the Week honor.

First half thought: I have a serious case of Ricardo Clark envy.
Also, best description of an easy goal I’ve ever heard came from the Irish commentator: “He’s almost embarrassed to celebrate.”
(Now if only Seattle can play a team or two with goalkeeping this bad.)

P.S. I guess the late start explains the attendance, but still. Sad. Especially with $5 tickets.

Okay, third comment: I forget how much I love your players when they’re not playing Seattle. And I want Craig Waibel and Cam Weaver back! (But you can keep Chingy.)
