Hey Columbus, thanks for taking the mick. SKC is now on top with 44pts. And now we have CHI coming in off a 3-0 thumping of RSL tonight so we’ve got our work cut out for us at the Cougar Den. Like we’ve been saying the past month or so, we have to get 3 pts here…come on fellas

How about the in-form Oduro!

It’s fun to poke fun at him for missing wide, high, and from any which way, but since we traded him…he’s turned into a speedy scoring machine! He should test our back line. But to be fair, they did win 3-0 over a 10 man RSL (lost Beckerman seconds after the first goal). SKC is playing San Jose, and I’m hoping Wando starts scoring like crazy on them. That way when we BEAT Chicago we’ll be back up at #1 =)

Yeah

I’m hoping that regardless of Oduro’s form, we should be familiar with his weaknesses and therefore plan around that. Having Cameron at the back will help with that, and Ashe can always mark him for periods at a time…but frankly, he’s probably more of a threat to us being opportunistic, so its simply a matter of keeping an eye on him. Despite their result, I think we can still grab the 3 pts. I’d say 2-1, Dynamo.

And yeah, here’s to hoping that SJE is a real peach and puts a beat-down on SKC and allowing us to leap-frog back up to Number 1. It’s going to be one of those down-to-the-wire finishes for us
