STARTERSWhen I was flying home from Mexico City last Saturday we stopped off in Houston, and had to go through customs there. As we approached the main terminal there was a huge "Welcome To Houston Texas" sign. It featured images of the city skyline and natural beauty. It also featured aspects of the area's culture. But what surprised me was the image of a pro sports athlete representing the city. Was it a member of the Houston Astros baseball team? No. Was it a member of the Houston Rockets basketball team? Nope. How about the Houston Texans football team? No again. It was none other than Brian Mullan of the Houston Dynamo soccer team decked out in the customary orange shirt. Very cool indeed.dNIt's official, Houston has signed Mexican forward Luis Landin. See details in the MLS section.dNThe Los Angeles Times web site no longer has a specified section for their soccer coverage. To find this stories that are not on their front spots page you have to do a search and you get a ton of other non-soccer stories
