07/23/2010 - Columbus, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Houston Dynamo get back into Major League Soccer action on Saturday after a two week break when they travel to take on the Columbus Crew at Crew Stadium.
The Dynamo (5-7-4) played three SuperLiga matches during their break, going 2-0-1 while topping Mexican team's Pachuca and Pueblo to win their group.
"Overall, to come out on top of this group, I am pleased for the guys," Houston coach Dominic Kinnear told mlssoccer.com.
Now the Western Conference club sets its sights back on league play, traveling to play the Crew, which it played in its last MLS fixture as well, a scoreless draw on July 10.
"I think we're just inches away from pulling off something good here," Kinnear said after the game. "We are inching along, and we need to take some big steps now, but I do think we are on the verge of starting to do that."
The Crew (9-3-4) are coming off a top-of-the-table match with Red Bull New York that they dominated 2-0 to take a five point lead in the East.
"We found the goals," forward Guillermo Barros Schelotto told mlssoccer.com. "They didn't have opportunities to score. We controlled the game for 90 minutes."
The win snapped a two-game winless run in league play, so the first-placed Crew were happy to bounce back.
"We played one of the best games," Crew coach Robert Warzycha told mlssoccer.com. "The players responded very well. As a team we played very well."
The Crew will have to find a way to get a positive result at home without two key players, veteran defender Frankie Hejduk and midfielder Brian Carroll, who will miss the game because of suspension and injury, respectively.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.
The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.
The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.
Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
