Superliga - Pachuca @ Dynamo (Tuesday 9pm)

[Rockets10]

Huge game tomorrow night at Robertson Stadium for the Dynamo. They're into the semis of Superliga and we will be playing Pachuca which knocked us out of the Champions Cup this past year. Game should be a lot of fun and for those of you who have been meaning to check out a game but haven't quite made it yet, tomorrow night is a great chance.

I might hit that up but I am more worried about the Dynamo in MLS play and getting the best record in the end.

[DrLudicrous]

We haven't looked to good in our past two games, hopefully they'll step it up. If not it could be embarrassing, because Pachuca is a damn good team.

Yeah, I'd have to be a little concerned of our form of late. Shutout by one of the worst teams in the league in Colorado and a loss to another bad team in SL. Doesn't exactly give me confidence in going up against a very strong Pachuca team. At least it's a home game where we beat them before.

GO DYNAMO!

I agree with you here for the most part, but this is a very important game to the Dynamo. They will be dressing and starting their best squad and Kinnear has stated that this game is the second most important game in Dynamo history after the MLS Cup. Perhaps a bit of an overstatement, but it shows the importance nonetheless.

The Dynamo have won over the town of Blackpool. (http://web.mlsnet.com/news/mls_news.jsp?ymd=20070813&content_id=111260&vkey=news_mls&fext=.jsp)

Anyone know if this will be a sold out event or can we just walk up and get tix at the gate?

You shouldn't have any problems getting tickets at the gate. The Dynamo have never had a sell out game and I don't think a game on Tuesday at 9 will change that. I am hoping for a good sized crowd tonight though.

yeah, why is this starting at 9??

it would be tons more convenient for me if this were at 7...then the astros play the dodgers at 9. and it's all about me, after all. ;) :D

[WhoMikeJames]

Going to be there. :)

[Kam]

Is it on TV?? I've been looking fro it for a while

[rhino17]

Im watching it online now, damn, that free kick was close

[rhino17]

Why the hell was Ashe ejected??? that was stupid

[geeimsobored]

wtf a red card for that?

The mexican guy shouldnt have even been grabbing his leg and at the very least just give a yellow card. That's no reason to throw him out.

[RocketManJosh]

Is it on TV?? I've been looking fro it for a while

by the way ... it is on TV on Telefutura if you have that channel.

I'm watching on the West Coast and cant believe they played the game this late to begin with. Whats the deal with that?

[SwoLy-D]

wtf a red card for that?

The mexican guy shouldnt have even been grabbing his leg and at the very least just give a yellow card. That's no reason to throw him out.the "Mexican" guy got a yellow, too... for grabbing an opposing player. It was a well-deserved red card card for Ash... he shouldn't have thrown that kick.

http://www.superliga2007.com/ has the game on LIVE :eek:

It's not PENALTY kicks... it's FREE KICKS... no one is being penalized for anything... :mad: before anyone says we're going to "penalty" kicks...

[RocketManJosh]

On to PKs we go ... ok free kicks for you Swoly ;)

[Kam]

It's not PENALTY kicks... it's FREE KICKS... no one is being penalized for anything... :mad: before anyone says we're going to "penalty" kicks...


im being penalized for staying up this late to watch this. why does chucas goalkeeper, it is goalkeeper, and not goalie or what? why is he weaering a doorag. dude looks retarded.

[SwoLy-D]

Thank you very much, RMJ... :)

Poor Pachuca... :D it's the Batallón side... they will get sh*t thrown at them...

[rhino17]

oh yeah!!!

[Kam]

this guy is going to be saying gol gol gol gol gol after every damn PENALTY KICK ARRRRGH freekick.

[SwoLy-D]

This time, he doesn't say "GOL GOL GOL" ten times, he says only 3 times, Kam. :)

Onstad better chunk his body to his own right from now on... :mad:

[RocketManJosh]

Ching! :mad:

Nice save!!!!!

[Kam]

[SwoLy-D]

CHING-adam*dr*... :mad:

You're BIG, Onstad. thank you for listening to me!!!! :eek:

F&CK(#$&N Calero (dumb-lookin' goalie according to Kam) moved before the shot... should have been redone... :mad:

[Kam]

[Kam]

[rhino17]

[Zac D]

It's not PENALTY kicks... it's FREE KICKS... no one is being penalized for anything... :mad: before anyone says we're going to "penalty" kicks...

It's not FREE KICKS... it's KICKS FROM THE PENALTY MARK... "penalty" kicks is a more accurate shorthand than FREE KICKS... :) :p :confused: :( :rolleyes: ;) :o :mad: :cool:

[Stack24]

That was unbelievably pathetic...my grandma could have done better than that...

[Hippieloser]

Well, the Dynamo got an early lead and then choked insanely. They're truly a Houston team now!! :D





:(

[JaWindex]

I just got back from the game. I had a good time but...

WTF was that Ngwenya :mad:

[smeiou78]

Knocked out of the SuperLiga & no longer 1st place in the standings? :eek:

[MadMax]

WTF was that Ngwenya :mad:


right???!!!

seriously...did he just "miss" it? maybe change his mind about where he was going with it as he made contact?

[leroy420]

CHING-adam*dr*... :mad:

You're BIG, Onstad. thank you for listening to me!!!! :eek:

F&CK(#$&N Calero (dumb-lookin' goalie according to Kam) moved before the shot... should have been redone... :mad:


Keepers are allowed to move along the line before the shot. Besides, very few refs, especially professionally, will ever call back a pk for the keeper moving up.

[Zac D]

right???!!!

I don't know this for sure, but I think he hit it pretty much just like he intended to. I think he figured his brilliant fake would send Calero diving out to the corner flag, and it would be ooh- and ahh-worthy when he just plunked it softly down the middle.

Almost worked. Didn't work.

Ching did that same stutter-step in the shooutout against New England. I'm not sure how I feel about it.

I can tell you how I felt about it this morning when I fast-forwarded to the end of the game on my DVR and watched it. :)

I'm not crazy about doing that. Every trainer I've played for has said "Pick your spot and hit the ball."

[DrLudicrous]

That was a crazy roller coaster of a game. It sucked losing on penalties, yeah I just called them penalties, but our guys showed a lot of heart to even make it there. We were a man down for over 90 minutes against one of the best teams in the Americas and we never gave up. A lot of people want to blame Ngwenya for the loss but that's just the easy way out. Ianni's red card hurt us a lot more.

[Rockets10]

i don't think there is such a thing as Home field advantage when america/pachuca/chivas come to town. But i will be cheering for the Dynamo :)

You should make it out there next time to see for yourself, but the Dynamo faithful are just that - faithful. At no home match at Robertson, including when America came a few weeks ago and last night, has the majority of the crowd been for the away team. Last night the crowd was easily 2:1 for the Dynamo and it was packed with 21,000+. Fantastic atmosphere, unfortunate result.

As for the game itself, Ashe and Ianni both made dumb mistakes that cost the team dearly and both red cards were justified, IMO. I was very surprised to see both Holden and Clark out of the lineup and didn't think our three-man front worked all that effectively. I though that Clark was banged up a bit but haven't heard anything on Holden. Was either available last night?

[DrLudicrous]

I think Clark may have dressed for the game but his ankle is still bothering him from the all star game (I really wish no Houston players would play in that). Stuie wasn't available, during the second half he walked in front of our section in street clothes. We were kind of hoping he was heading to the locker room to change but unfortunately he wasn't.

[texanskan]

lol, I never thought I would see a Dynamo game thread that's longer than an Astros series thread that is in it's third day.

I'm glad there is passion for the Dynamo, lets hope they can turn it around in MLS play and get back to that top spot
