    I think that was Boniek best game in a while. He made a lot of really good passes to put guys into good positions.

    Creavalle is still recovering from injury a bit I think. He was a huge part of last years success IMO and he has barely played this year.

    Good for Will Bruin scoring a goal for 3 straight games so far. But it could be too late for him to get a spot for the USA world cup team.

    Brad Davis makes his case to be on Jurgen Klinnsmann's U.S. squad with a wonderful assist that led to Bruin's winning goal.

    God the MLS schedule is r****ded. Why are you still playing during the summer?

    I get that competing against the NFL, NCAA football and the NBA would of been a death sentence back in the day but geeze switch it

    The Brazilian League, Japanese League, and Korean League uses the same schedule as the MLS and played their games during the summer season.

    Playing against the NFL and college football would still be very bad for the league. They get to take advantage of the summer doldrums where it's just MLB every stinkin day.

    The Mexican league is in its apogee and the championship game will be just in time before the team leaves to South America for its tour pre-World Cup. When the national team plays on a weekend, they suspend games or have them already scheduled. They do this too for the World Cup month. Don't know why MLS can't do this, too.

    I hope none of the MLS-based players for us or their respective countries are needed during the summer games. Boniek will be sorely missed! :eek:

    This is the first ever season I've actually kept up up with the Dynamo (and that's only because of my work). Anywho, I was under the impression the MLS had made serious gains towards bettering the quality, but from what I've seen, it's all really subpar play. Maybe I've been too spoiled.

    There's no one who really stands out in the Dynamo to me, none of them are any good.

    I'm just sharing my opinion, looking for other's (with more knowledge) view on the team and league. Who's in your opinion the best player on the team?

    Im noob fan but i would say Hall is one of the better goalies in the MLS and the key to our success. Bruin is a pretty good rising player, Davis is sneaky good, and Barnes is a deadly striker

    My favorite is Boniek Garcia though.

    I like how you continue to give that your work is the only reason for 'keeping up' with the team. That's NOT an opinion.

    What a load of crap your 'opinion' is. :eek:

    I find the MLS's quality to be much higher than it was even 3 years ago, and way higher than 5 - they are getting better and better soccer players, and the league is growing in visibility.

    I believe for the first time ever in the USA, it is a viable professional sport that can/will last.

    Yeah, I can totally see that. The atmosphere at the games, no matter win or lose, is always really fun.
