Poor man's David Beckham

I thought this was funny so I thought I would share it with you Dynamo fans out there. Apparently, Paul Dalglish is the reason you're good, according to the Evening Chronicle in Newcastle, England.

He led Houston Dynamo to the Major League Soccer title last year, something Beckham is unlikely to get a sniff of in his maiden season.


Here I was thinking it was Dwayne De Rosario and Brian Ching who led you guys to the playoffs, a duo that accounted for 22 goals in 30 regular season matches and three goals and two assists in the playoffs. But apparently those two goals Dalglish scored in his six regular season matches made the difference and Houston fans should be grateful to the poor man's David Beckham. To be fair, Dalglish did score twice in the playoffs and played in all four matches. But is that enough to warrant this declaration:

Despite shining in the SPL for Hibs, perhaps even Dalglish junior could not have expected the unlikely move to the MLS to be such a huge success, with Beckham already one down when it comes to MLS medals.


Huge success? Those silly British. Dalglish has played in five matches out of 22, and Houston sits atop the west with 39 points. Forgive me if I don't think their season rests with Dalglish Jr.
