This past weekend in a 2007 Western Conference Final Rematch, the Houston Dynamo and Kansas City Wizards played to a 0-0 draw. The good news for Dynamo fans is that Caig looked much more comfortable in the box and Stuart Holden came in late in the game.

Not Dynamo related, but Houston related, Mexico's National Team will start its 2010 World Cup Qualifying campaign at Reliant Stadium in Houston on June 15, 2008 when they take on Belize.

Thoughts on Caig as Goalkeeper for the Dynamo

Grahame L. Jones of the L.A. Times had a recent article criticizing Tony Caig's play against Dallas this past Sunday:

Gotta love that he now has one with reader comments on his comments about Caig:

I like Grahame, think he does a good job covering soccer. I hope he survives the turmoil of Sam Zell and Tribune Co.

Tony Caig signs with Dynamo

Last month when the Dynamo traded goalkeeper Zack Wells to D.C. United in exchange for defender Bobby Boswell, it was clear that the Dynamo would have to sign a new back-up goalie, which happened today when they signed Englishman Tony Caig. The 33 year old native of Whitehaven has played for Gretna, Newcastle United, Carlisle United, Blackpool, Charlton Athletic, and Hibernian. He has also played for the USL's Vancouver Whitecaps.

“We are excited to obtain a player of Tony’s caliber,” said Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear. “Tony has a wealth of international experience and will fill a need on our roster.”
