We caught up with Thad Bell of the Blue Testament to get his talk on Houston Dash vs FC Kansas City.
Dynamo Theory: How is this year's team different from last year's?
Thad Bell: Roster-wise, very. Lauren Holiday, Amy LePeilbet, Liz Bogus and Leigh Ann Robinson all retired. That equates to three out of four on the back line gone, the best midfielder gone and the Amy Rodriguez out with pregnancy. Lots of talent gone. Style and mentality are the same. The team will try to build the play up, connect a lot of passes and play hard.
