Who: FC Dallas v. Houston Dynamo When: Sunday, August 25 @ 7:00 pm CDT Where: Toyota Stadium; Frisco, TX Records: FC Dallas (10-10-7), 8th place WEST Houston Dynamo (9-13-4), 9th place WEST TV: FS1 Radio: HoustonDynamo.com/radio / 1010 AM Univision Radio (spanish) This is the 27th league game for Houston and the 28th for Dallas in the 2019 MLS regular season. Houston beat FCD, 2-1, at home back in May. The last trip to Frisco was a 4-2 loss in September of 2018. This game will probably decide possession of El Capitan for next year. A win or draw by the Dynamo would return the cannon to Houston. A win by Dallas would almost certainly keep it in Frisco. Dallas is 1-2-2 in their last five league games scoring 8 goals and allowing 10. Their most recent league game was a road draw, 3-3, at Montreal on Saturday, August 17. They are 7-1-5 in home league games so far this year. After the Dynamo game they host Cincinnati on Saturday, August 31. The Dynamo are 0-4-1 in their last five MLS games scoring 5 goals and allowing 9. Houston is 2-10-0 in away league games this year. The Dynamo next travel to Kansas City on August 31. After that they get the international break before hosting Minnesota on Wednesday, September 11, and then traveling to Vancouver on Saturday, September 14.

Victory for me is not seeing Cabrera's 4-3-3 again this season. Hope Arnaud notes that he got the two goals in the 4-4-2 with Manotas and Ramirez up top. I'd like to see either 4-4-2 or 5-3-2. Probably the former because I don't think we're deep enough for the 5-3-2 to work. Would still be interesting though.

Play Ramirez up top and then Manotas and Elis in front of him. Then have Swede moved higher up the field out at left wingback. Keep Memo in the middle of the park. Have Vera playing in front of the back line with Boni. Not Martinez. Then have Figeroa, Struna and Bizama in the backline. -----------------------Ramirez ------------------Manotas-----Elis ---------------------------Memo --Swede----------------Vera------------Boni ------------Figeroa---Struna---Bizama
soooo... is Poo (Quioto for those that don't recall) officially gone? no training, no STH team meet and greet, etc. i can't wait to say adios to that turd but has anyone heard what is really going on with him?
For now, sorta. But they're working on a policy and I think it'll be open at least 3 days a week. Meanwhile up north of the border
I sure hope so. Cancers need to get cut out post haste. I woulda shipped him off in June, help him pack. Good article on MLSsoccer.com on Arnaud as a native Texan coaching in the Texas Derby. He speaks of this match being a "6 pointer". Which is exactly what it is! DALE ETERNO BI-CAMPEON! !!!
Did Arturo knee anyone in the groin at Bucee's? 👀 Look who joined the supporters for the trip up to Frisco #ForeverOrange pic.twitter.com/0JBE8EPw6E— Houston Dynamo FC (@HoustonDynamo) August 25, 2019
Good job running out the same formation that got your predecessor fired Davy. Sure that will work out for you.
Quioto?? Twitter rumor is he was released on Tuesday!!!! PS please please please please please please be true!
Well this is going positively swimmingly. Jordan is going to sack Arnaud in favor of a Dynamo ball boy by the end of this game.
