According to @NoodleTiempo on X, the dynamo are supposedly targeting a MF in the Liga MX. Thoughts?

Hey folks! I'm looking to watch some MLS playoffs in a bar near IAH today. Any suggestions? I know it can be hard for bars to get Apple TV, but I thought this would be the place to ask! Thank you!

So in an interview with Glen Davis, Pat says that they’re talking to Alberth about a possible return.. (depending on his health status) I guess the game in December with Damarcus Beasley will be one to watch!!

Got an email inviting me to pick my 2025 STH gift in a new platform called Dynamo Member Gift Portal. The options were neck fan, summer scarf, pin and patch set, or poster for 1 credit each, or a $30 team store gift card for 2 credits.

While I kind of miss the surprise, I have to admit it's nice to have options and to pick something I'll use like a gift card instead of ending up with an ugly purple hat.

I'm also hopeful that they'll use this platform to relaunch Orange Rewards. After the STH cards/lanyards, its the perk I miss most. Any insiders know if they are planning to do more with this platform?

I am somewhat a card collector and have a bunch of MLS Dynamo base cards, some numbered Ulfarsson, Hadebe, and Sebas. I was gonna look into donating the base cards and selling the numbered, but wanted to post here to see if anyone that follows the team was interested. The cards are all raw ungraded.

I was thinking about our goal keeping sitch, and I wondered about maybe bringing home Matt? He isn’t getting any playing time at Palace and there’s a good chance they are getting relegated and maybe now would be a great time to pounce…

But there is no team left in the East that finished higher than the Dynamo. Wish it mattered.

I remember driving to Dallas, and seeing this billboard, we need to add one for Austin now too 😜🍊

Lionel Gitau called up to camp for US U17s.

Daniel Barrett, Lukas Bruegmann and Mattheo Dimareli join US U16s.

Edit: Brooklyn Raines called up for the US U20s.

u/texwarhawk is your 2024 Pick 'Em Champion!

It's been a long time coming for u/texwarhawk who placed 2nd last year after finishing 6th in 2022, 5th in 2021, and 4th in 2019 and 2020. The race was tight, coming down the final match, with only Herrera's straight red propelling u/texwarhawk over 2020 champion u/36ers. The 2-point separation between 1st and 2nd represents the smallest margin in the history of r/Dynamo Pick 'Em!

Also a special congratulations to  in not missing to submit a prediction for the second straight season!

Everyone can view the scoring document and are free to DM me with any issues/questions! If you'd like to help out with threads or scoring, send me a DM.

Surprised am I. Thank you Hector!

Bold move by management. I think I understand the idea. They can't profitably sell younger, cheaper Coco, who would be better used in HH's spot. Offloading Sebas would have happened already if it was doable. And they need to upgrade offensive firepower. Let HH go, open up a starting spot, put Coco in his best spot, and spend the saved HH $ on an attacking players. We shall see what they do. Hopefully they make at least one important attacking addition before next season starts, and they need to bring back Blessing.

Herrera (once Ben arrived) was transformational. I don't think they could have become the exciting successful team they have become without his skill and bravery. But he was a few steps slower and far less impactful this year. And that rarely gets better at 35+. I also did not see a substantial change in the flow or style of the team when he was out. So, feels a bit ruthless not to bring him back, but if the Dynamo want to win as much or more, they probably can't afford a fading $5million DP.

Watching HH the past few seasons has been an educational pleasure. The value of a player who can maintain possession in the tightest of spaces. The way a player can control the game from the midfield without being very big or fast or covering a lot of ground. These are things this late blooming American soccer fan did not fully appreciate until HH came to the Dynamo. His stay was short, but impactful. I hope that Dynamo fans will appreciate him right along with the greats like Davis, Ching, Holden, Beasley, De Rosario, & Elis.

That is all.

Are you starting both Quinones and Ennali? One over the other? Really curious to what our front office focus will be coming this offseason and the promise of notable signings.
