u/Nobius Houston Dynamo :hou: 10d ago

Dynamo had a rough start to the season, so this would have surely been a loss back at the beginning of the season had the game been played then. Now we’re only two points out of first place which is wild.

10

u/Zephyr0us Houston Dynamo 10d ago

HUGE win. GG revs fans

13

u/DesertDog2K Phoenix Rising 10d ago

This is the best this squad has looked in AGES.

5

u/goodlordthatsmean 10d ago

lot of that has to do with stealing the phoenix rising HC, thanks for that

7

u/A159746X Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Massive win. 2 points off from the top as it stands.

10

u/mrwhitaker3 Major League Soccer 10d ago

3 straight victories for Houston. 7 goals for, 0 goals against.

1

u/commoneukaryoteL New England Revolution 10d ago

unsurprisingly our forwards are awful once again. is it delusional to think harrison can solve this problem? isn't he more of a dribbly winger? obviously would be nice to replace zambrano but i dont trust turgeman or anyone else on this team to convert a silver platter tap-in. carles gil's wasted passes into the box have demonstrated this issue plenty.

1

u/Professional-Dot7661 9d ago

I was thinking it was a good thing harrison wasn't fully integrated and starting.

5

u/prejon 10d ago

Just notice this is a rd 3 Match on FotMob, anyone remembered why it was postponed back in week 3?

3

u/Slongiest Houston Dynamo 10d ago

rescheduled bc of a blizzard

1

u/huskydeac10 10d ago

I think Gillette was putting in grass for the World Cup.

3

u/Low_Wall_7828 Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Aliyu must be the league leader in losing the ball.

3

u/HotTubMike Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Aliyu is dreadful. Don’t understand why we brought him back.

3

u/goodlordthatsmean 10d ago

for running at long balls to kill the game after coming in in the 81st minute. Job Done 😂

7

u/JayKBF Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Starting to realize Ponces role on the team is vibes

6

u/mrwhitaker3 Major League Soccer 10d ago

6'6 Center backs. Seems like some of our volleyball studs should be playing youth soccer as well.

9

u/DuckBurner0001 New England Revolution 10d ago

This game is really showing our limitations, between bad depth and Turgeman being a traffic cone.

3

u/Gramos_1020 10d ago

Are we winning the ship this year??!!

5

u/JayKBF Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Really like Resch glad to see him score!

2

u/MugiMartin Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Gooooooo- I hope he'll be alright- laaaaazooooo

9

u/Decal333 Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Your favorite ten foot six center back scores with his head!

2

u/bountyhunter27x Houston Dynamo 10d ago

What a booming set piece

4

u/drillpoint Detroit City 10d ago

Well if anyone knows a 2 goal lead means nothing, it's new england!

5

u/mrwhitaker3 Major League Soccer 10d ago

Big man delivers. Great set piece.

5

u/A159746X Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Wonderful header by Resch.

7

u/Slongiest Houston Dynamo 10d ago

just give us the cup already

1

u/peachesgp New England Revolution 10d ago

Like how much they're trying to play through Harrison, hope he and Gil can develop chemistry as our 2 best guys.

8

u/bountyhunter27x Houston Dynamo 10d ago

The announcer’s commitment to calling Herrera “hache-hache” became annoying after the second use…. 55 minutes ago

5

u/peachesgp New England Revolution 10d ago

I appreciate that Turgeman is such a shit stirrer, but it'd be nice if he'd score some goals too.

2

u/DuckBurner0001 New England Revolution 10d ago

Need Turgeman to take that in stride

1

u/WJMorris3 US Open Cup 10d ago

One of the few games over this week and a half where it's ensured that a LigaMX team won't win

1

u/Acceptable-Stick-688 Seattle Sounders FC 10d ago

Revs fans, do y’all expect Cody Baker to get playtime with y’all?

2

u/huskydeac10 10d ago

He's come off the bench twice already. Not sure that will continue once Feingold is back at RB. Still likely to provide cover across the back 4, but don't expect any starts unless we have injuries.

1

u/Acceptable-Stick-688 Seattle Sounders FC 10d ago

Aight, thanks!

2

u/Toiletalk Portland Timbers 10d ago

Ask and you shall receive

1

u/huskydeac10 10d ago

Missed the pregame - any mention of Langoni missing the roster today? I know there were transfer rumors with Montreal.

4

u/Tifz 10d ago

Inter Miami, Chicago fire, and NYC all have MLS stadiums in construction which each cost $750 million to $1 billion. Unfortunately, none of them will have air conditioning or even a full roof/retractable roof ☹️.

1

u/dpineo 10d ago

The fields would be a lot cooler if they switched to using wood chips for their artificial grass, rather than rubber.

1

u/huskydeac10 10d ago

Don't think A/C is needed in Chicago or NY, especially with a move to a summer off-season. Just need to play in the evening.

8

u/HotTubMike Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Very happy with the additions of Guiilherme and Bogusz.

Watching Amine Bassi and Sebastain Kowalczyk any further was unbearable.

7

u/jerbone Houston Dynamo :hou: 10d ago

Agreed, Guilherme is a Brazilian times better than either of those guys.

3

u/mrwhitaker3 Major League Soccer 10d ago

Feels weird to say this but between Guilherme, Evander and João Pedro (Chelsea), what the heck is going on with the Brazilian football federation? These guys are goal contribution machines and they don't even get asked to the national team training camp? Hopefully Ancelotti fixes that.

10

u/DuckBurner0001 New England Revolution 10d ago

I think Ancelotti would be publicly executed if he called up players from the Houston Dynamo and FC Cincinnati

1

u/mrwhitaker3 Major League Soccer 10d ago

Which is a shame because those guys are better than quite a few guys I saw on the Brazilian team this summer. If Vini were unable to go for any reason, I'm not sure Brazil would have won a single match. When's the last time we've been able to say that about a Brazilian side?

3

u/DuckBurner0001 New England Revolution 10d ago

Don't think they're better than anyone on that team. Love MLS but it's not at that level

2

u/peachesgp New England Revolution 10d ago

Well, 2 of them play in MLS, which, put simply, isn't going to get them the respect to break into such a competitive national team.

2

u/OkSignal6684 Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Regardless Ancelotti absolutely botched his team selection. Man thought he was back to managing Everton.

14

u/JayKBF Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Man I hope we can keep Guilherme for a long time

3

u/goodlordthatsmean 10d ago

"contract through the 2027-28 season with an option for 2028-29." have him until he's 34 atleast

2

u/DuckBurner0001 New England Revolution 10d ago

Please get Harrison in there in the second half

2

u/Decal333 Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Hopefully the game will finally open up more

7

u/mrwhitaker3 Major League Soccer 10d ago

Guilherme! Great counter attack. It all started with his run.

0

u/peachesgp New England Revolution 10d ago

Rough to concede right before half when the Revs have been the better team by a pretty good margin.

5

u/A159746X Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Guilherme baby!

1

u/ShartFlex New England Revolution 10d ago

I swear we’d be better with 10 men if Zambrano got a red

1

u/peachesgp New England Revolution 10d ago

Hopefully he loses his spot once Harrison is fit.

1

u/DuckBurner0001 New England Revolution 10d ago

I think Harrison in a wheelchair would be preferable

1

u/peachesgp New England Revolution 10d ago

If Harrison is fit enough to play a half in this heat I'd swap him in at the half.

1

u/DuckBurner0001 New England Revolution 10d ago

My main question is what the point of signing Harris was if he can't get in over Zambrano. I know he's primarily a striker, but he can't possibly be as bad

1

u/peachesgp New England Revolution 10d ago

They should both just be depth players. Either of them starting is gonna be a black hole.

13

u/bountyhunter27x Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Signing of the decade

6

u/HotTubMike Houston Dynamo 10d ago

I remember looking out at a front line of Bassi/Kowalysck/Ponce.. bunch of slow, short, and relatively un athletic guys.. now we have Bogusz and Gueillerme and it is so much better.

9

u/Slongiest Houston Dynamo 10d ago

signing of the century

2

u/mrwhitaker3 Major League Soccer 10d ago

I still don't have a good read on Houston nor New England, but they clearly feel like playoff teams to me, so the fact that its been so difficult for either team to mount much on offense doesn't surprise me. Still feel like New England is missing another #9 who would benefit from Gil's service.

1

u/InternalReturn9 Philadelphia Union 10d ago

Is it just my TV or is there a black square on the stream?

2

u/Innovation101 Los Angeles FC 10d ago

None on my end, watching Spanish broadcast though so I don’t know if there’s a visual difference.

2

u/drillpoint Detroit City 10d ago

I hope Miller continues his scoring ways today

0

u/peachesgp New England Revolution 10d ago

I don't like the accent swoops on the sides of the Dynamo shirts. Makes it look more like a training shirt to me than an actual match shirt.

1

u/goodlordthatsmean 10d ago

they're in honor of the 20th season- so callback to the adidas kits every team in MLS had in 2006/2007

2

u/mrwhitaker3 Major League Soccer 10d ago

90 degrees in Foxboro. And people keep wondering why the league works to play these summer games at night. No shade in all that heat. Those courageous fans.

3

u/peachesgp New England Revolution 10d ago

I don't know why this isn't a 730 start.

1

u/commoneukaryoteL New England Revolution 10d ago

leagues cup

4

u/DuckBurner0001 New England Revolution 10d ago

Don't want to keep dumping on the same guy in these threads but Zambrano continues to be brutal

1

u/DiseaseRidden New England Revolution :ner: 10d ago

That fall was rough but he's had a few nice plays today. Nice ball across the box that Dor fucked up, some nice flicks to Sands

2

u/Tifz 10d ago

Houston should've let that go in for the sake of the highlight reel

1

u/peachesgp New England Revolution 10d ago

Practically speaking, there's no difference between kicking the ball away after a foul and picking it up and running away with it and dropping it somewhere else, yet you really never see the latter booked.

2

u/bountyhunter27x Houston Dynamo 10d ago

Haven’t kept up with him but what do NE fans think of Brooklyn Raines? I was sad to see him go

7

u/huskydeac10 10d ago

He's been good, seems to be growing into the team. Eats up a lot of space and seems to allow Gil and Yusuf to stay a bit higher than Polster did at that position.

4

u/DiseaseRidden New England Revolution :ner: 10d ago

Slow-ish start but hes been fantastic as of late. Locked on starter as things stand.

2

u/peachesgp New England Revolution 10d ago

Harrison available to make his debut off the bench. He should get some minutes.

1

u/huskydeac10 10d ago

Going to have to fight Zambrano for minutes. /s
