A good time for a World Cup break

There's no sugarcoating that it's been a rough week. The Dynamo have lost three consecutive MLS games for the first time since 2007, and the four goals allowed Saturday night are the most Houston has ever surrendered in MLS play.

That makes the next three weeks extra important as the Dynamo try to rest, retool, and refocus for the final 17 games of the MLS season, the Open Cup, and SuperLiga. A friendly on Thursday and the Dynamo Charities Cup on June 19 will allow time to see some diff… Continue

Postgame: Dynamo 2, Philadelphia 3

Tonight's game certainly was exciting, but ultimately not in a way Dynamo fans appreciated. Check out today's recap and notes, but Brian Ching really summed it up best:

“They were a better team over the course of the game. Tonight Dom said that was the case. It’s frustrat… Continue

Pregame: Dynamo vs. Philadelphia

After USA-Turkey this afternoon, Houston fans' eyes will turn to Robertson for the Dynamo hosting Philadelphia at 7:30 p.m. tonight. Five forwards - a luxury! - will be available for Dominic Kinnear as the Dynamo look to make it back-to-back wins for the first time all season. Don't forget, the first 5,000 fans get an awesome bracket for this summer's soccer action, courtesy of Continental Airlines.

Dynamo down DC, Academy ties U.S., Hainault blogs from Canada

Postgame: Dynamo 1, RSL 3

Well, we don't recommend digesting that on an empty stomach. After getting an early goal on Saturday, the Dynamo conceded an early goal on Thursday and never recovered, falling 3-1 on the road to Real Salt Lake.

It's back to Houston tomorrow for the team and some much-needed training/rest time is on the horizon after the stretch of four games in 13 days is over. Of course, May 22 will mark the beginning of a stretch of four games in 15 days, but who's counting?

You can find… Continue

Pregame: Dynamo at RSL

As you can see, it is a gorgeous night and a gorgeous setting for soccer here at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah. It is on the cool side - temperatures in the 50s will surely dip during the game - and there is some precipitation visible over some of the nearby peaks. Hopefully it'll stay away and give us a nice… Continue

Postgame: Dynamo 2, Chivas USA 0

Nothing like early goals and a road win to turn things around. Some lineup changes made for an interesting night, and the result pushes Houston up into second place alone, trailing only the red-hot LA Galaxy. Good news all around.

Of course, it's back at it this week, with a quick turnaround and a road game at Real Salt Lake Thursday night. Then, and only then, will the Dynamo get a bit of a break, with nine days before playing D.C. United back at home on May 22.

The Houston Dy… Continue

Mark Jacob replied to James Cooke's discussion 'Time to look forward to 2011 Season?'

Let me preface this by saying I don't think the Dynamo are done yet. They can still possibly squeak in like NY did several years ago and Real Salt Lake last year. (I think that's right). I'm exited about that underdog role. I just don't get why Odu…

Oduro to Dynamo for 2 draft picks (2010 & 2011). Serioux to Dynamo for a third round 2011 MLS SuperDraft pick. Houston should do some late trades to get some 2011 SuperDraft picks.

Jamie Kjellander replied to James Cooke's discussion 'Time to look forward to 2011 Season?'

I think it was very evident by the starting lineup this past Sunday that Dom and the guys have thrown in the towel. I can't remember if we actually have draft picks this year or if we traded them away. If we do have them, its time to finally get mul…
