Houston Dynamo vs. FC Dallas

The Houston Dynamo are entering their third season as two-time Major League Soccer champions. “We know everybody is going to be after us,” defender Eddie Robinson said at a recent press conference. This is especially true of the team’s first two opponents for 2008: the New England Revolution and FC Dallas. The Dynamo started the season last Friday with a 3-0 loss against New England, who lost the MLS Cup to Houston in 2007. Today, the Dynamo face FC Dallas — the team they beat to win the Cup in 2006 — in their first home game of the season. Not surprisingly, Dallas is also the Dynamo’s biggest rival, which guarantees a game packed with as much tension as action.
