Today has been a quiet day around here I know. Other than a few twitter posts I've remained a
bit out of posting today. Blame it on slow news or blame it on me not wanting to jump on bad rumors
that are out there right now. I do have a couple items tonight to discuss but nothing too huge.
I wanted to start off in the land of college soccer.

With a full stable of forwards, and a player in the final year of his contract, the Houston
Dynamo did what it always seems to do: finds a way to make a deal that helps the club.

The Offside 25 July @ 02:00 PM EST
We have a common theme for our transfer rumor post today. All of our rumors and transfers and
non-transfers deal with the same question: How the heck does MLS get (and keep) young, talented
players? First, the done deal: Danny Szetela is back in the States and on the roster for [...]

Yes, according to this article here.
It is well known that Dynamo have his MLS rights, and I strongly believe that he fits in here far
better than Dominic Oduro (or possibly even Cam Weaver). So I am optimistic. Though I find it
interesting to note that this SI and Goal.com writer Shane Evans does not speculate on his landing
spot.

This man is pumped to be coming back to the MLS!
According to Shave Evans of SI.com and Goal.com, Joseph Ngwenya is on his way back to the MLS in
the next few days. For all the details and the original article, click here.
What do you think? Glad he is coming back or sad that he didn't seem to make it in Europe?

Jurgen Klinsmann and John Carver left their respective jobs within a few short days of one
another. While Klinsmann was sacked, and Carver left voluntarily both are bad signs for the current
perception of American football in Europe.

With the news today of Bobby Boswell's resigning with Dynamo, I feel I have fulfilled Playtherapy's
injunction to get the defender after Dynamo signed Tally Hall (I can never get enough of that guy's
name) following Playtherapy's earlier post complaining about the O-range's inactivity.
Now Mister3d, the striker is up to you.

At the conclusion of the Dynamo/Firpo game the night before Thanksgiving, Mister3D and I were

"Whaaa?!?" sez I.

It appears that the LA Galaxy's Landon Donovan is determined to prove his critics wrong as he looks
back to test his skill in "Futbol Europa". So much so that he fancies a trip back to
Germany according to this report from Steve Goff of the Washington Post. Here is an excerpt:
"Remember this summer when USA/Galaxy forward Landon Donovan talked about giving
Europe another try?

Five points if you can guess what country Lake Balaton is in?
For the record, I'd have scored a zero.
Anyway, here are the rankings. One team is on a surge and has shot up, up, up the rankings. They're
not in a playoff position yet but I'd take them to beat all the teams from 6-14 without question,
at least at home.

As readers of this blog learned Wednesday from beat writer Scott Wolf, neither David Beckham
(sore hamstring) or Landon Donovan (flu) practiced with the team yesterday and could miss tonight's
game against the New England Revolution, who will have Taylor Twellman on the bench.
So possibly no stars for the Galaxy, but there will be fireworks after the game.

Former Houston Dynamo and Zimbabwe international striker Joseph Ngwenya is on a three week trial

Usually we do not report on players who have already left MLS but since many believed our rumor at
the time that he might go to Bayern was "ludicrous" it bears reporting. Also should such
a trial end poorly then it would raise the possibility of Ngwenya returning to a Dynamo team which
would love to have him back.

It is possible, as we have discussed before that a couple players could be on their way back to
Major League Soccer from Europe this summer. We just finished talking about Josh Wolff, now we are
going down to Houston with Nate Jaqua and Joseph Ngwenya and their possible return to the two-time
champions.

Has his European experiment scoring goals for Cashpoint SC Rheindorf Altach ended? It would appear
so. According to this report he may be coming home to the Dynamo. A Dynamo team which could use
another proven goal scorer. According to this report....

This is the Houston Dynamo we've been waiting to see.
The two-time MLS champions got off to a terrible start to the season but Houston is hitting its stride now, as evidenced by its 4-1-1 stretch in its past six MLS matches. The latest victory came against a short-handed TFC squad that is having some struggles after its own good run of form.

So as I was at work today, I had the headphones plugged in listening to Glenn Davis' Dynamo All

mostly Dynamo), you're really missing out. The show is lively, entertaining, not afraid to pick
fights and defend positions and an indispensable part of the soccer landscape here in Orangeville.

I guess Nate Jaqua really likes being around Joseph Ngwenya because he is about to move to the same
Austrian league (link via SBI). The club that Jaqua will now call home is SCR Altach, who currently
stand in eighth place (out of 10).
Jaqua is another quality player leaving Houston, meaning the team is starting to look a bit lost up

Former Houston Dynamo Joseph Ngwenya has landed in the Austrian Bundesliga, but is this just a
quick stop in route to Bayern Munich? Here's the speculation:

Los Angeles Galaxy.

The defending champions Houston Dynamo are losing strikers left and right. Paul Daglish was

Austrian season with an option to add another full season.

With Joseph Ngwenya now heading to Austria and rumors that Nate Jaqua is trying to join him, the
Internet (or at least the MLS corners of it) are abuzz with opinions on the problems Dynamo are

not to sound the warning sirens just, just yet.
