So I was able to catch the Houston-Seattle game, a potential preview of the Western Conference final. The Dynamo owned the first half, but failed to capitalize on a significant possession advantage. They had a 1-0 lead at the half due to a Brad Davis goal, but deserved more. Seattle clawed back for a goal, but what bothered me happened in the stands.
And what I saw requires an addendum to the beloved MLS Manifesto Destino. If you are reading this blog with a young reader, please cover his or her eyes. Because while at Robertson stadium, I saw…
Did you catch it? Okay, a somewhat closer look…
Questions abound. Does this man know that Kenny Dalglish played for Celtic and Liverpool, but never for the Dynamo? Also, and more importantly, King Kenny wore Keegan’s beloved Seven with aplomb, not the number eight.
Thus, we have a new rule for ex-pats that follow MLS: thou shall not defame your beloved premiership deities on MLS jerseys. EVER.

…that link probably mentions Kenny’s son, Paul, who played for the Dynamo, like, two years ago. Is what it is.
Did I just see v Nistelrooy to his right?
A clarification: Paul Dalglish did play briefly for the Houston Dynamo and is currently the coach for the youth team in addition to “Space City Futbol Club,” a youth team near NASA.
I really just couldn’t resist….
And yes, that was Van Nistelrooy to the right. And I am actually catching the KC game this saturday, so the barnstorming-unemployed MLS tour continues!
