Key takeaway The only problem, the Dynamo will be out of town playing on the East Coast in a couple of pre-second half of the season scrimmages.
Why this matters in Magnolia News
The absence of the Houston Dynamo's Brazilian players from Monday's match at Houston Stadium will undoubtedly be felt, not just by the players themselves, but also by local fans who have come to admire their skills on the field. With four Brazilian players on the roster, the Dynamo has developed a strong following among the local Brazilian community, who will likely be out in force to support their national team. The fact that these players will be missing the opportunity to watch their country's team play in person is a reminder that the Dynamo's schedule can sometimes put its players at odds with their personal interests. As the city prepares to host a major international soccer match, the Dynamo's pre-season scrimmages on the East Coast will be a notable absence, and local fans will have to content themselves with cheering on Brazil without their adopted Brazilian sons in attendance.
