Our 2016 motto:
Finding new ways to throw away points.
Finding new ways to throw away points.

The cannon, nicknamed El Capitan, goes to the overall winner of the teams' meetings in a calendar year, whether they come in regular-season play, the playoffs or the U.S. Open Cup.

Scoreless draws: Why soccer will never be popular in America.

According to the agreed-upon rules and tiebreakers for El Capitn, Wednesday's matchup between the Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas will only factor into the cannon's victor if the teams finish the regular season tied in both record and goal difference and do not meet in the MLS Cup Playoffs:
[ol]Head-to-head regular season series (W-L-T) Head-to-head goal differential in regular season series Result of playoff series (if applicable) Result of CONCACAF Champions League series (if applicable) Result of Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup match (if applicable) Holder retains trophy [/ol]Currently, the Dynamo have the edge in the 2016 series with one win and one draw, and one game yet to be played in Houston on August 27. The Men in Orange also have a substantial lead in the goal difference category thanks to the 5-0 rout in March. FC Dallas must win by more than five goals in August to claim El Capitn on the first tiebreaker. If Dallas wins by exactly five goals and the teams do not meet in the playoffs, then Wednesday's result will decide who gets to fire the cannon in 2017.

Well.. except I am back to rooting for Houston. I was rooting for Dallas because of my wife but I got tired of it and am back to rooting for my hometown team. Wearing a Dynamo shirt now.

Good effort but not enough quality in the final third.
Also uncalled handball in the box in the 94th.
