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.

I know we’re all disappointed about the end of this season but I think overall this season was a success we have an exciting offseason to look forward to and a very strong team next year with a few tweaks. If you were GM, what would be some realistic moves you would try to make? Obviously saying we should go out and sign Mbappe would be a bit far fetched. I’ll try to keep mine to 5 bullet points.

• Not sure the rules around this but resign HH to just a regular roster spot I stead of DP and sell Ferreira for what we can get or do the same thing with him if we can’t get a good price. Basically free up those 2 DP spots

• Use a DP slot to find some younger, hungry up and coming GK that is tall and has shown ability to stop PK’s.

• Use the other DP slot to get a true attacking midfielder to play behind Ponce.

• Sell Coco since his value should be high after concacaf award and let Bassi/Blessing/Kowalcyzk/Raines battle it out for the position this offseason

• Strengthen up our bench with some more utility guys that can make more of a difference late in a game, we need more speed.

Other than the TSU game there are no events listed on the website. Anyone find that strange?

We usually get a Central American friendly or Liga MX exhibition in December/January. What happened?

I just realized we were eliminated from each tournament this year on penalties. Once vs Detroit, once vs Toluca, twice vs Seattle. Gotta either (a) score more goals and avoid penalties to begin with or (b) get much better winning penalty shootouts. Feels like option (a) is more controllable, more enjoyable to watch, and lets everyone get home earlier. Let's get some more offensive weapons (maybe a couple speedy winger backups with good attacking skills ie backup Ennalis?, a number 10?) for next year and go kick ass!

Sounders fan here; just wanted to drop by and say that the Brooklyn Raines PK was an absolute banger! Couldn’t even be mad because, my god, it made me audibly gasp. I can’t think of a single keeper in MLS who could have stopped that. Ya’ll played a great game! Can’t wait to meet again next season.

Steve was a great keep for us the past seasons , I think he peaked last season . BUT yall can’t keep bashing him like that . he was ok this season but he wasn’t shit. Yes he can’t save pens but that’s something else. we have to get a new goalkeeper but that’s on the dynamo not on him. He was as good as he could be in my opinion.

We do need to sign a new GK tho .

Dorsey has the highest work rate in this club ,I think. Not just bc of today. This man RUNS back and forth EVERY-TIME , Fighting and winning the ball. He’s defending when he’s needed. he’s always an option when attacking , never shy to take on the defender and most of the time crossing a dangerous ball. He can shoot (here and there UNLIKE ALIYU) . He’s was always there when he was needed. I don’t think he gets the credit he deserves. He loves the team and he shows it 🤘🏽

View Poll

Our season ended when Ennali tore his ACL and forced us to start Aliyu every game. Talk about a play killer. I don’t even get my hopes up anymore when he has the ball, he does nothing with it 99% of the time.

HH was hurt at the start of the season and coco couldn’t lead us. He was not the spark. Our entire team is built around HH. He is 37 and was risky when we got him. This red card was a nail in the coffin. It’s rebuild time and coco and HH need to be sold asap. Artur is getting old. It’s frustrating this was our big shot and we played 2 games with 10 men after 65th min

It doesn’t mean just when we win! 🫶🏻 Gotta say a huge thank you for an amazing season and you guys worked your tails off!! It’s difficult to comprehend how to deal with games that the refs play instead of the players and it feels like these two games were in that category. Nothing makes reactionary loosing of one’s head in a game ok but maybe during the off season..just maybe..can we get some referee training camps or something?!? Regardless, on to the next season! Forever orange !
