“The team that dictates the rhythm of the game and is organized” is how Jim Curtin characterized how fans can get a sense of who is on top during Wednesday night’s US Open Cup final in Houston (8PM EST on ESPN2).
The Union and Dynamo play contrasting styles, and that means the winner will likely come down to who executes their gameplan more effectively over 90 minutes. For the Union, it’s all about gaining possession quickly after losing it, and moving the ball with speed and purpose once it’s under control. For the Dynamo, playing the first pass out of pressure after winning a turnover will allow them to find outlets to their front four, and those guys are just sensational in space.
