Dynamo take all three points & score all 5 goals of the night...

VAR actually HELPS us... for today.

This team looks great with JDC on the pitch, Quioto remains a dangerous workhorse on the wing.

Lets hope winning ways are here to stay at home!!!

*EXPLICIT CONTENT*

OHHHHHHHH SNAP!!!  I see we're back on this huh!? 

Let me start by saying you do NOT have to agree with my views on this subject, and that’s ok! But if you're angry at a WORD, that has VARIOUS definitions mind you, more than likely you have thin skin. Feel free to close this article before going any further because it could get worse for you.

PUTO!!!! can be used in various forms. Literally from female dog to pimp, according to what country you're in & slang you're using. Does it mean something homosexual?  It can.  is it used in that form during games?  possibly, yea.  is EVERYONE using it in the same way? NOT EVEN CLOSE.  So how is it that people take offense?  Simply, you WANT it to mean that.  During these goal kicks its simply used as BITCH. You merely CHOOSE to run with that ONE definition.  So yes, it is supposed to be offensive, as offensive as ANY banter in sports. Get over it. We're rivals, we don’t like each other. Are we crying over Miazga's short antics? 

It's a curse word.  It's Offensive. It's Vulgar. It's also in my vocabulary right next to fuck, which is one of the uses of the word. And It's also being made into a bigger deal than it really is. Some say it has no place in the beautiful game.  I guess they forget what exactly happens behind closed doors in the governing body of this beautiful game.  MODERN DAY SLAVERY & HUMAN TRAFFICKING among other REAL DANGERS occur in order for Countries to get ready for or even just BID for World Cups.  Why aren’t we up in arms about THAT?  Instead I see endless articles about how TERRIBLE and shaming ONE WORD is to the sport. 

Im not here to change your mind about it.  Nor am I here to say that it's ok.  Im simply here to help you understand that IT IS NOT USED TO BASH HOMOSEXUALS...

one more time for the morons in the back,

IT IS NOT USED TO BASH HOMOSEXUALS.

Words have ONLY the power YOU lend them.  If you can CHOOSE to think that word means whatever it is you're mad about, then you can CHOOSE to not give it that power over you.

p.s. We hear ya’ll with the "BUILD THAT WALL" chants.

Dope piece from Tom Dart on Championship pedigree within the Dynamo. 

Legacy.

[stoppagetimeplus]

When you’re young and you’re just starting out you think it’s going to come around a lot – and fast forward ten years and some people have never played for a trophy. So you need to relish it, to enjoy it and you need to take the opportunity and make sure it doesn’t slip past you

KICK OFF!!!

[stoppagetimeplus]

MATCHDAY!!!

NY RedBull host our Dynamo tonight for a mid-week clash!

Unbeaten in their last five matches, RedBull look to gain three massive points at home towards their claim for the Community Shield.

While never have beaten NYRB on their turf, Houston is the definite underdog in their quest to reach that playoff line in an always crazy Western Conference.

Kickoff is at 7 pm central.

Pre game thoughts drinkin at Lucky’s

I’d like to start by saying, I’m used to fair-weathered fans. This IS Houston after all. The moment any team is doing bad they become the red headed step child that no one wants anymore. It’s happened with our teams, with players & even turned our backs on an entire franchise... more than once! So this talk about people not being fans of the Dynamo anymore or not re-newing season tickets... GREAT!

Peace out!

Kick rocks, hommie!

CHUNK.

DUECE.

Holla at a playa when you see him in the streets!!!!

If enough of y’all leave then MY ticket is gonna be cheaper! Lol

But really, this is nothing new. This is our Coaches 2nd year with the team & he ALREADY has western conference final appearance & US open cup finalist on the resume. SECOND YEAR! We ALSO have two of the leagues most exciting players in Quioto & Elis while remaining one of the cheapest teams, if not THE cheapest team in the league... HOW is that a BAD thing!?

Is the team perfect? Naw. Is the money for season tickets worth it? Meh. Are the front office/ownership doing everything they can to build & grow a fan base? FUCK NAW! But we ARE a better football team since Wilmer took the helm. We are being... “creative” in our player choices and for the most part it’s worked out. While I agree there is NO REASON why we shouldn’t have a significant DP under contract, we have still pieced together a competitive team. Money ball, right “Lastros?” Or did y’all forget that already?

I get it, this team & this city are BETTER than its current standings... but EVEN when we were firing on ALL cylinders, it took a western conference final to ACTUALLY sell out BBVA... what’s THAT say to the team & organization? In such a densely populated city... with a stadium damn near in the middle of the city... with one of the cheapest professional sports match day experiences in the city...

Don’t get me wrong, I got a LAUNDRY LIST of things the club could/should do but for right now, two years into the Wilmer Cabrera era, we could be doing WAY WORSE!

My group should be tailgating again starting the September 15th match against Portland. Stay tuned & feel free to come out & join us in celebrating every win, cursing every draw & drowning our sorrows with any loss...

Peace y’all!

Keep ya heads up!

Of course, we don’t have the credit with what we do, but we’re not here to receive credit from anyone. We’re here to work & to talk on the field. There is where we need to talk. And today was a good day, but it’s only one game out of 34.
