According to most soccer fans and CNN then answer is YES! DISH was listening to CNN radio this morning and to our surprise a segment came across called "Young People Who Rock" and the interview was Houston Dynamo's own Stuart Holden! WOOHOO! Below is part of the transcribed interview and you can CLICK HERE to watch the video!

His teammates call him “the chameleon.” Stuart Holden, a member of the U.S. National Team in soccer, adapts to any of his surroundings. When he’s in Houston, he talks with a Texas accent. In his native Scotland, he speaks with a Scottish one.

But the nickname also tells you how he works on the field. His coaches say he “steps up” when needed. Last week, he stepped up to score the goal that tied the clincher between the U.S. and Haiti 2-2. Stuart is aiming for the Gold Cup, while playing for the Houston Dynamo. He was part of the U.S. Olympic team last summer and has his sights set on the World Cup.

Stuart was playing soccer before he could walk. Sports are in his blood- his father was a rugby coach, a soccer fan, and Stuart’s biggest supporter. Stuart’s dad passed away in the beginning of the year, but his words still motivate the 23-year-old. “My dad always told me that if you stay grounded and you work hard and keep doing the things that have helped you succeed in the past – you can’t go wrong.”

DISH is proud of Houston's own STUART HOLDEN!

Tonight over at Roberston Stadium Houston's own Dynamo take on Real Salt Lake! The game starts at 7:30 and DISH will be there with our orange on being loud and proud!

By the way, DISH was remiss a month or so ago when we promised Dynamo player Mike Chabala Happy Birthday on DISH...we never did it! Mike, DISH is very sorry and we are dedicating this entire story to you =)

We Love you MIKE!!! Number 17 is THE BEST!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!

So there ya go! Ladies, DISH isn't sure if he's single or not but he sure makes soccer worth watching =)
