The LA Galaxy are in last place of the Western Conference. After being bounced out of the CONCACAF
Champions League to the hands of Toronto and suffering yet another league defeat, AEG President
Time Leiweke awoke to another bit of bad news concerning his LA Galaxy.
Both Bruce Arena and Landon Donovan have decided to part ways with the club.
One of the best things about being a Dynamo fan is our players give 200% on the field -- yes,
this is mathematically an impossibility, however, none of us would argue they do indeed give a full
200% -- except perhaps the occasional Right Midfielder/Winger from say Jamaica, not to single any
one specific player out or anything.
Major League Soccer commissioner Don Garber remains committed to end the days of ownership groups
holding more than one team, but he is in no rush to have Anschutz Entertainment Group sell its 50
percent stake and controlling interest in the Dynamo. AEG owns the defending MLS Champion Los
Angeles Galaxy and 50 percent of [.
Time to put on your thinking caps, or tinfoil hat if you prefer, and dive into an examination of
the Dynamo's current roster and salary cap situation. A few notes before we get started:
- This is based on the last MLSPA Salary information release from 9/1/11
- There is some speculation on my part concerning salary levels for new players.
Instead of his deal ending in 2012, Houston Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear will be in Orange
at least until 2015, as he got a three-year extension to his contract with the team.
Jose de Jesus Ortiz announced te Kinnear's New Year's gift in his piece in the Chron today. Link
here. Here are a couple of highlights of the article:
With one season left on the contract, club owners AEG, Golden Boy Promotions and Gabriel Brener
tore up the old deal and gave the fiery Scot a raise for 2012 in the new four-year pact.

David Beckham is not heading to Paris, but it is not a certainty that he will be returning to
the Los Angeles Galaxy just yet, at least according to AEG President Tim Leiweke.
Word came from Paris early on Tuesday morning from officials of Paris St.

LOS ANGELES -- David Beckham has always been a vital part of AEG president Tim Leiweke's plans
for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Now as Beckham prepares for his second stint with the club, Leiweke is
considering the legacy that he will leave on his team.
It's that time again. Another chance for me to share my highly biased opinions with all of you,
the Dynamo faithful. I cherish this time I have to spend ranting and raving about anything Dynamo
or US Soccer related, and to have you all comment on it -- whether positive or negative. It's an
honor to write for all of you and for Dynamo Theory, and while my activity sees dips and lulls,
rest assured I hope to be around here for a long time to come.
It has been a while since we looked at stadium construction around the league, but today,
Houston's rising downtown digs is the sole edifice in our sights. Officially, the Dynamo's new home
is called BBVA Compass Stadium. The 22,000 seat stadium will host its first Dynamo match on May
12, 2012. The stadium will be shared with Texas Southern Football and other local events.
Without the benefit of a midweek match to deflect the attention away from off pitch matters
there was plenty of rumour regarding managerial changes and new arrivals at Spurs. Separating the
truth from the gossip is generally an impossible task but what do we actually know?
Brazilian under 20 defender Bruno Uvini has now signed up for a two month trial at the club with
a view to a permanent transfer – he looks a good prospect but can he make it at the Lane?
This weekend, the Houston Dynamo will open the 12th soccer specific facility in the league, BBVA
Compass Stadium. In honor of the event, today's post will focus on the Dynamo. Before we get to
the stadium, the team has just announced a new partner. The team's new official energy partner is
Direct Energy.
