Stuart Holden has left USMNT camp and returned to Houston due to an injury. More information as I
get it.Also, just wanted to apologize for the downtime between posts. Alot has happened over the
last week and I promise to get to it all shortly (Felix, 09 schedule, etc.).

Just got word that Bobby Boswell will be wearing orange for the good guys again! The Dynamo
announced today that the Dynamo Defender of the Year, Iron Man of the Year and Fans Player of the
Year signed a multi-year deal to return to The Rob. This is great news for the team and the fans.At
the same time, the team announced that they have traded Patrick Ianni to Seattle for a conditional
pick in

The Chronicle is reporting that the Dynamo have signed Tally Hall, a San Diego State product that
has spent the last few years in Denmark with Esbjerg. Hall was original drafted by the Gals in 2007
and was a member of the U-23 squad that made a trip to Japan with Bob Bradley in February of that
same year.

This was posted on MyDynamo.net earlier:With the start of training camp just two weeks away, we are
excited to bring you the Dynamo's preseason schedule! As details become finalized, we will post
each game in the events section and, once it is up, on HoustonDynamo.com's 2009 schedule page. The
early games against FC Dallas remain tentative, and we do not know if spectators will be permitted,
but

Great move by the Dynamo to snag this GA midfielder in the 3rd round. Here is the college bio on
Cruz. A little short at 5'8"-5'9" but it seems that the U-20 USMNT player has a high
ceiling. The youngest Generation Adidas player available, the Glendale AZ native just turned 19 on
January 3rd, so the Orange are getting someone that they can bring along slowly either at ACM or
forward.

3/7 - Austin Aztex at Nelson Field - 7:30pmSounds like a good mini-road trip to get the juices
flowing before the regular season starts. Of course, the matches against Atlante on 2/24 and 3/3
should go along ways towards getting my blood a' boilin'. Need to start my lung exercises before
the end of January to get ready.

With the announcement this week that GK Coach Mike Toshack has left to go to TFC, yet another
opening has, well, opened in the clubhouse. Head equipment man Beau Abdulla tendered his
resignation last week and is headed to Africa to do some very important and fulfilling work. I wish
Beau well ... Toshack not so much.

Bobby Boswell made his debut for Turkish side Antalyaspor today in their 0-2 defeat to Nurnberg of
the 2.Bundesliga. The friendly was played in Antalya and also revealed the fact that the much
rumored exit of Joseph Ngwenya has not yet taken place. Ngwenya started up front while Boswell
earned his non-league debut as one of the starting central defenders.

Looks like other blogs have broken the story about Boswell in Turkey. Seems he is looking to settle
down in the coastal town of Antalya until the end of the current season (apparently that is when
Antalyaspor will be relegated to Bank Asya 1. Lig based on their current downward spiral). At the
same time, it looks like the Scorpions will be bidding adieu to a former Dynamo forward, with the
rumor

Just heard that BB.com is over in the former Ottoman Empire either in training or on trial with a
Super Lig squad. Unless it is Fenerbahce or Galatasaray, there should be no doubt that Boswell
should return to Houston. And if it is one of those 2 clubs, Bos should be ready to ride the pine
because the only games where he will see time with the first team is in the Fortis Türkiye
Kupası.

One thing that you should know is that I am an unapologetic Liverpool fan. They make Setanta worth
the $15/month (well, the Reds and Aussie Football in the offseason). Watching the game against the
Gunners this morning left me frustrated on several fronts. First, I can't believe Lucas is still
getting playing time.

So what do you think? Knowing that there will still be (at least) a few moves made by the Dynamo
FO, this is starting 11 that I would put out on the pitch right now:GK - Pat Onstead - Although Pat
is pushing towards his last year, he is still the best in MLS.LB - Wade Barrett (Captain) - Wade is
still the anchor at the back.

This is just a little note to let you know that this blog will be your standard American soccer
blog. Just wanted an outlet for my thoughts and feelings for my beloved Dynamo and other American
soccer teams. Thanks for visiting!
