SWOONTOWER OPPONENT SPOTLIGHT: Houston Dynamo with Victor Araiza
In preparation for Saturday's match against the Houston Dynamo, the Crugnolas sat down with journalist/podcaster/writer/reporter Victor Araiza of Deportes Nation and Deportes Houston, formerly of our very favorite independent soccer news website The Striker, to talk about Austin's neighbor to the east and fellow Copa Tejas competitor.
Check out the episode to hear Victor's thoughts on:
- Houston's recent resurgence
- Whether he feels the national discourse around the team is accurate
- What the keys to a successful season are
- Who the most important players on the team are
- What the local narrative is around Houston and more, including a meta-discussion around media and changing the narrative to grow local support for a team in a soccer city.
Follow Victor's work, and listen closely to the end to see if you can hear #1 in our hearts, Hiro Crugnola, joining in the conversation.
