Sorry this is late, but you know how Real Life is. I'm feeling optimistic, so I voted draw. 2-2 sounds about right.
I've no idea, so I also voted draw. They beat RB when Curtin was forced to insert Rosenberger and Jones after 70' of meh. They destroyed an awful D.C. team when Haris remembered he once played in Europa league matches that counted.Curtin went all Crazy Ivan and stuck with Ray when the injury and win would've been the perfect excuse to reinsert Keegan after he'd "matured on the bench". Jones is gone for four matches. Will Ilsinho continue the improvement at the 10, seemingly without touching the ball too much? Houston is a good team, not so much on the road. Can the #BlakeBlank* continue? Find out next time! *Seriously, if we clean sheet Dynamo this should be a thing. I surprised myself with my brilliance.
Not feeling good enough that a win is possible, but I'm not feeling cynical enough that a loss is in the cards, either. 1-1 snoozer.
I voted win. Three game winning streak just "primes the pump" (I think I invented that phrase) for a big letdown against Colorado.
Curtin likely will start what he believes his best XI is. Houston may rotate some players (Elis is injured) and hope for the best. On paper, it looks like a Union win. In reality, it may or may not be a win.
Houston is solid but I'm feeling optimistic so I'll say 1-1..... wouldn't be surprised about at a loss though.
Houston is tied for first in the West for a reason, but they are a not so stellar 0-3-0 on the road in 2017. Still, I have to think they have the talent and coaching to deny a fourth straight #BlakeBlank. Call it 2-1 in favor of Houston 1836. Andrew Wenger dribbles out of the endline under light pressure for old times sake. I think its the 3 or 4 year anniversary of that sacred day...
Still a great moment no matter how many times I've watched it. I like the fan in the white shirt behind the goal who gives the hands-to-the-head WTF motion. Certainly /r/bettereveryloop material.
Both Hondurans are nicked. Dynamo D better of late, but their overall performance has been shaky on the road. Fab should thank his lucky stars if the panther can't go. Cubo is post-concussed, and Manolas' finishing reminds of Ilson's lately. Game is about how well they can contain Alex. Mid-week travel game for the fightin' creamsicles.........Curts won't throw the change-up.....2-1 Union win in advance of disappointment v. park the bus Pablo on the weekend.
Haven't watched them this year but I read Houston have pace to burn. That may mean Ray-Ray keeps his spot and Marquez returns if possible. Can't see another clean sheet; but the offense seems to have found it's feet. 1-1.
Trade for him after the game like last time? It's funny that for a guy from the Philly area, Wenger has the reputation for being anything but "Philly tough."
I'm pretty sure Philly Tough stops right around Upper Darby. It definitely doesn't make it to Lancaster.
Mark Geiger is the 4th Official for this one. It's better than if he was in the middle, but having him on the sideline can't exactly be good for our chances either. He was the 4th Official in the World Cup match where Luis Suarez bit the Italian players ear. Maybe this has no relvance to today's match, but weird stuff tends to happen when the Pride of New Jersey is in the building. Just sayin'.
