Record vs. Dynamo (2008): 0-0-1.

Update: Having lost two in a row, the Galaxy faces another challenging test against Houston, which has never lost to the Galaxy in Carson. Coach Dominic Kinnear’s team is unbeaten in its last 11 games, tying a club record. The Dynamo is led by Brian Ching, Stuart Holden and Brad Davis. Galaxy top scorer Landon Donovan, in South Africa with the U.S. national team for today’s Confederations Cup final against Brazil in Johannesburg, will return to the Galaxy for a July 4 home game against New England. Dynamo midfielder Ricardo Clark also is with the U.S. in South Africa. David Beckham will return to Los Angeles on July 11 but probably won’t play in that night’s game against Chivas USA.
