After that, there'll be a whole new rivalry with the Gals, in which, by the way, you'll have the whole nation behind you. You won't find too many people here in Houston rooting for LA over the Quakes, let me tell you. So while it'll be a nice storyline this season, the rivalry will fade or disappear unless there are some on-the-field situations that make it go.Martin Hajovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087389972723306522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047761831365934807.post-48430033981529366902008-01-24T14:19:00.000-06:002008-01-24T14:19:00.000-06:00I like that you take the Murk to task over their b...I like that you take the Murk to task over their bad soccer coverage. But I'll have to disagree on your assesment of a rivalry ever developing between Houston and SJ. I think one already exists and will just continue to grow, at least from the SJ side. You may all choose to ignore it, but when you've got mentor vs protege in Frank and Dom, former teammates going head to head in Cannon and Cochrane vs your boys, stolen team vs replacement team, and scored fanbase vs AEG.... it's impossible for some form of rivalry to form. It may never match up to LA-SJ or Dallas-Houston, but it will be there and many Quakes fans will always hold the Houston franchise (especially while AEG owned) at some level of contempt. <BR/><BR/>Still the games will be fun. I'm glad we get to welcome your boys back in a relatively quiet setting because during the season I think you'll see the veritol rise, especially on our side.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047761831365934807.post-67835106567056787142008-01-23T12:43:00.000-06:002008-01-23T12:43:00.000-06:00I agree.

FCD should have great home support, and from what playtherapy, a former dallas resident, told me, they used to at the Cotton Bowl. No longer. Yet one more reason for Dynamo to continue to pursue a downtown, or at least inner city, stadium site. <BR/><BR/>Maybe winning will change things, but they've been pretty decent the last two years and it hasn't seemed to. Not that dallas having problems bugs me overly much, but that should be a strong MLS market, and in two years, Houston has easily passed it by. I guess two titles will do that for you.Martin Hajovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087389972723306522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047761831365934807.post-62460204658270703022008-01-23T12:24:00.000-06:002008-01-23T12:24:00.000-06:00It's not homerism.
