You read it right: Houston's got a team headed to the World Series....of soccer, that is. And they're saying we might actually win. The Houston Dynamo, in their first season, scored three straight goals after falling behind early in the first half to overcome the Rapids and advance to the MLS Cup, the superbowl of Major League Soccer. They'll play the New England Revolution (who also played yesterday, beating DC United) in the MLS Cup final on Sunday at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco.
New star Paul Dalglish, who joined the team in early September from a Scottish soccer organization was pumped up by a Braveheart-themed intro, complete with kilts, and went on to score twice in the first half. Look for him to be a key part of Sunday's game.
"The character that the guys showed to come back from 1-0 down is brilliant, but that's the team spirit we've got here," Dalglish said. Stay tuned for a post on where to watch the game, coming from your favorite sports bar experts--Houstonist, of course!

Nope, no World Series, no Superbowl analogy. Just MLS cup, let it stand by its own. But it has a chance to go to a real World Champions Cup, sanctioned by FIFA, if of course, they win the MLS cup, then move on to win the Confederation CUP, that is the NorthAmerican and Caribbean, and then go to play Asia's or African's Winner to finaly play South American or European champs, if either reach the final by defeating their own opponents. Now, if Houston gets that far, we will all notice. And at that stage you can really call the World Series of Soccer.
