Dwayne De Rosario and Stuart Holden joined the Dynamo for their first training sessions with the team, after respective national team duties. De Rosario is fresh off performances with Team Canada, and Holden returns to the Dynamo after his stint with the United States National Team. Holden was called up to the team after previously training with the U-23 U.S. squad, though he didn't dress Wednesday when the Americans played their friendly with Mexico.
The Dynamo held a light practice Sunday, before taking Monday off. Set pieces were the order of the day, with Dynamo attackers peppering goalkeepers Tony Caig, Brian Pope and Corbin Waller. Pat Onstad was given the day off. The Dynamo leaves Tuesday for San Jose, California, where the team will face the "new" San Jose Earthquakes in two exhibition games.
