Jermaine jones sounds like he wants to make a move to mls. Would make too much sense for the dynamo to be interested, so it won't happen....
It's that World Cup effect. Tomorrow night's game is almost sold out. It will also be on national cable TV, NBC Sports Network, starts @ 7:30 pm. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Less than 200 seats left for <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/HOUvNY?src=hash">#HOUvNY</a> tomorrow.

Man, they need way more than JJones. He would be a nice fit because one more knock and Rico Clark is out for a longer time. Carrasco is decent but nothing special and Creavalle is needed for multiple positions...but they need to shore up the defence and get in a real striker now that Sherrod is out and Bruin is not showing he is up to it. Tomorrow will be a BIG match. No more excuses for Kinnear to use since BDavis and OBG are back. Hopefully the Dynamo don't embarrass themselves.
Dynamo 2-2 Red Bulls Giles Barnes scored the first goal in 39 seconds. Bradley Wright-Phillips, the brother of Shaun Wright-Phillips, scored two goals for New York. Will Bruin is still struggling and had blown some scoring opportunities. But then, Brad Davis saves the day by scoring the equalizer on a penalty kick. <script height="349px" width="620px" src="http://player.ooyala.com/iframe.js#pbid=4bfc225f82bf46c48dfb065eda97f74f&ec=xvaWJwbjq6ppstD8EH9uyh0Yzf3H3DKF"></script> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/S5Z_yy-r3VM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Yeah the team is in need of some better defenders. All four positions in the back need upgrades. And a forward. God we need a forward.
Do you mean links to watch the matches online? Or links to sites/blogs that cover the Dynamo or something else? Hop on that Dynamotrain but unfortunately you didn't pick the right time to start following them closely lol. (I'm amusing you haven't been following them closely the last few years). Anyway let us know what you mean by links and if you miss a match, Beavis is the man to post links of their match highlights.
Haha, I meant live stream against Toronto...but I found one. The World Cup has inspired me. Im late to the party, but it's about damn time. Im also down for some sites or blogs...I need all the help I can get. :grin:
Dynamo forum on bigsoccer: http://forums.bigsoccer.com/forums/houston-dynamo.1063/ And where I get old MLS games when I want to watch some: http://usasoccerarchives.com/index.php?page=torrents (I'm from Europe so I don't get them live, other than bad quality streams)
No need. The team is garbage this year. The quality of the league has gotten better and better while he keep trucking out the same starting 11 week after week hoping for better results.
They just can't expect this team to overachieve year after year...which is what the front office has expected since Stu Holden left. In case they haven't been paying attention to how things work in Houston, unless you're the Texans, the amount of empty seats will grow as the team continues to lose and does nothing to generate any amount of excitement. Teams across the league, even ones who are 2 years from playing in the MLS, are making significant signings.
Sorry for being late, I'm in Vegas right now for vacation. Most of the games streamed online for the Dynamo are either http://goatd.net/ or http://ifirstrowus.eu/ Defense is bad and forwards/strikers like Will Bruin are having trouble scoring goals lately. It's unfortunate that guys like Mark Sherrod and Tony Cascio are out for the season with torn ACLs. I think in the offseason, they really need to improve their defense and they may release Bruin after this season is over. I don't see them re-signing Bruin, so time to move on and get a proven goalscorer. Hopefully next year because there are no World Cup call-ups, the team will get more healthy and better like they've done before when after they had their worst season in 2010. Their best years, 2006-2009 and 2011-2012, are long gone. They have to make some changes but they are still stuck with the ownership of AEG and Oscar De La Hoya. AEG also owns the L.A. Galaxy. Rockets owner Les Alexander almost purchase the Dynamo but AEG rejected his offer. Unless someone can buy the Dynamo, this team is still going to have the same struggles in the regular season year after year.
It's time for the MLS to finish the transition from startup to full fledged league and make AEG sell one of their teams...which would obviously be the Dynamo. They're never going to put the same resources into Houston that they do LA. The MLS is allowing a team to be put at a competitive disadvantage. Besides that, Dom's magic touch is gone. They're missing on most every signing they've made. Garcia has been nice but inconsistent. Bruin is worthless and sadly the best forward they have. They need a complete rebuild...literally from the top (ownership) down. Just leave the A/V director alone. He's a friend.
