| Davis could be difference maker for Dynamo Thursday, Nov 29, 2012 07:36 PM PST  CARSON, California (Reuters) - The MLS Cup final between L.A. Galaxy and Houston Dynamo on Saturday is a repeat of last year's championship game but with one crucial difference - Dynamo will be able to call on their most creative force, midfielder Brad Davis.
