    This is the sixth regular season game for Houston so far this year and the fifth for Dallas. The game will be closed-door with no fans in attendance. It will count for possession of El Capitan which will likely be decided in the next month.

    The Dynamo split the home games against Dallas in 2019: winning 2-1 at home in May and losing 5-1 at Frisco in August. The two teams will play again on September 14 in Frisco.

    FC Dallas is 1-2-2 in their last five league games going back to last year's playoffs scoring 7 goals and allowing 7. Their most recent game was a 0-0 draw against Nashville on August 16. This will be FCD's first road game of 2020. They next host Colorado on August 26.

    The Dynamo are 0-2-3 in the last five league games scoring 6 goals and allowing 11.
    Houston has a draw, 1-1, in the only home game so far this year.

    The Dynamo next travel to Kansas City on August 25 and then return home for games against Minnesota (9/2/20) and another against Kansas City (9/5/20)

    Direct TV channel 55 has had a "TBA" status for over a week now on all time slots on all days

    any one know if the game will be shown on the channel 55 that is listed on Direct TV? is there another channel number that might be showing it via DTV that I'm missing?

    I'll post on here to second mr. 7-
    What is the Xfinity channel for QuestTEXAS? The "655" given on the Dynamo TV table for Xfinity is OWN ie Oprah stuff. I tried searching for Dynamo games to DVR program the other day and nothing came up.

    They need to do a lot better job than this. "Where do I watch the games" is basic stuff and providing the wrong channel for something obscure and perhaps not appropriately identified in listings may make it very difficult to find, for serious fans much less casual people.

    Also, if it ends up on channel 1698 (so to speak) instead of 655 that's a little different in terms of who is going to trip over it flipping around.

    Hey @juvechelsea , maybe to properly honor the extreme danger of the coronavirus that you perceive, the two Texas teams’ front offices could suspend awarding El Capitan and instead play for a giant syringe signifying the hope of a vaccine for Covid 19!!!!

    This game on 1055 Comcast doesn’t look like it is in HD. It seems like SD stretched with black bars on top and bottom. Maybe with an antenna it is HD

    Damn, Dynamo ticking off all of the woke fans tonight. In fairness, this picture is not good on Xfinity, the lower camera angle plus SD stretched is annoying

    The game is on Channel 55 in HD on TV using an antenna. It is on HD at position 55

    here is one problem, that Quest #55 channel is on 11.4 as well and that is showing Shipping Wars. Certain services seem to be picking that up as 55.

    Xfinity 1055 is (un)clearly and SD picture stretched to widescreens

    The camera angle is lower, like they are shooting from front of Presidents Club which gives off an odd angle when they stretch it to wodesceeen

    i think i saw on reddit when i was trying to find the correct xfinity station that this is a “480p” station and technically a regression from Kube

    someone who understands such things better could explain that

    So, I counted the one chance in the 1st half from Ramirez where their keeper made a decent save, then the chance in 2nd half where the ball pingponged off their defense and Elis scuffed the shot. Other than that, sterile possession. Dallas was worse, but they did get the road point. Is it progress that we didn't give up a shit goal after 85'?

    one sub with 7’ left in a home rivalry game with no wins in the can

    the new guys didn’t even dress

    davis was like lassiter would be useful here, he’s not even in the 18...i thought the bench list was underwhelming.....

    feels very “barrett”

    felt like a lot of getting the ball to the corner against a defense already back and whacking a desultory cross into the first defender or nowhere near the 9. we are not the kinnear dynamo, they need to beat the other team downfield on sheer speed and transition, and play a ground cross in to feet.

    that was a BAD dallas team that had plenty of chances and played us even. that was a bad LAG team before it that played us even twice.

    if the idea is going to be slow build up and a lot of passing to a sharp cross to a headed technical finish we don’t have the personnel to do it and this will be a long season. elis is not brad davis hitting a cross. you can see this coming a mile away and we lack the davis-ching to execute it even when you see it coming.

    where was manotas?

    They had Mantoas out with a thigh injury on the pre-game show.

    Lack of subs would seem to suggest that Ramos isn't particularly thrilled with the depth that Jordan has cobbled together. If Ramirez was match-fit, I'm not sure that Ramos would have made any subs.

    This one kind of falls into the category of opponent ceding possession to the Dynamo and watching them flail ineffectively.

    The one thing I was surprised about was that Lundkvist didn't get skinned alive by Barrios on the counter, but I don't think Dallas came into this game looking to win. Just wanted a draw and got it

    They really need to try and cut bait on Fuenmayor, Martinez, Hansen, Jose "Chilean National Team Player!" Bizama and Pena. None of them really have a future here except maybe Martinez as a bench roleplayer.

    I guess Lassiter and Zahibo weren't deemed ready to dress?
