Last one out of Robertson Stadium, turn off the lights, eh?

"The game was a big brawl, it was not much of a football game," Ljungberg said. "I don't

If you check the highlights page on the Dynamo site, you get the Telefutura call ("QUE GOLAZO!!")

Some could say the results we saw in the first week of the playoffs were fairly expected. The
SuperClasico ended in a draw that I think most folks expected to get; Real Salt Lake found a way to
get a win over the Crew at home; Seattle and Houston battled it out to a scoreless draw; and maybe
the only real shocker of the weekend was the Revs beating Chicago 2-1.

Pulsating atmosphere. A sea of green with a few flecks of orange. Deflected passes. Lots of
opportunities. Awful finishing. Pat Onstad's momentary lapse of reason. Nate Jacqua bloodied and
bandaged carrying on like a gladiator. Lots of fouls and yellow cards.
These were some of the more visceral images of the Seattle vs Houston match which ended in a
fascinating draw but not before they proved that the shortest distance between two points is a not
a straight line.
