    In probably one of the finest regular season matches in recent memory, both teams really showed how solid of a league MLS has grown to be. I mean the entire match was a display of teamwork, pace, running off the ball, gritty fouls with a true combative nature yet not marred by a poor ref letting the run of play get away from him. While the scoreline does read another road loss for our guys in Wildcatter Orange, it must be said that some good does come out of our Houston players performance. This team is not the team of recent years. With HH looking to add to the squad here in July, our team is certainly on the up!
    Quintero's bombaso btw! UFF!!!
    And if Coco's spanker of a hit early on had just dipped under the crossbar, who knows how the rest of the night goes for our guys.
    Proud of our players and proud of our coach for getting more and more from this unit as 2022 has played on.

    VAMO' HOUSTON and DALE DYNAMO!!!

    Brian is always crying about hiow this is not like his German team but I am listening to Portland fans sing Bella Ciao that most recently appeared in Casa de Papel aka Money Heist. Some of it is a political/cultural thing, he moved to a city that these days is a bunch of suburban drones who aren't going to be singing anti-fascist songs from a Netflix series, lucky if they sing at all.

    The little atmosphere that is done ad infinitum tends to be a MX xerox, you watch MX and some teams do the "Dale" thing.

    You might get someplace with Eyes of Texas or stuff like that.

    I think we miss the UH band elements that used to show up. They can lead with their own stuff and see if people join. I can hear brass playing in Portland. Do we even have drums anymore?

    Quintero's goal is basically what is generally missing. Thor tries hard and then puts the shot most nights in some defender's gut. Coco tries hard then skims the bar about every time. They lack that quality.

    I take crap for saying what I do but when.you build around the guys who skim the bar instead of the shot goes in, this is what happens. You have to be looking at the big picture to notice that Coco over a season paces out at like 2G 2A and that's just not good enough. And symbolic of that is you have a shot and bang the bar where Quintero dips his in. I also thought Coco had a lot of giveaways.

    Along these lines, the Portland Straight Thugs spent a whole lot of that game hacking and we lacked the precision to execute any set pieces to make them pay for it. This either needs to get faster or it needs to get more precise.

    to me that spoke to the poverty of the team defense. if we can get to the half tied their initial intensity burned out and they got the red and the game comes to us. we got rolled for about 10' including a second goal where the whole defense seemed to either put their heads down or go to sleep, and that was basically that.

    personally i thought the smarter response to manic portland tempo would have been low block defense that we rarely got into and let them either punch themselves out (second half) or be forced to slow it down and play half court (late first half). if you're already down 2-0 so what.

    hopefully that game ends the steres silly talk that preceded it. neither goal is he close enough to his dude, goal 1 rushes out and bangs him over for a PK goal 2 isn't close enough to stop the assist. it's like the people advocating things are bored with struggling but don't remember what else got tried this season and how it went. the answer is neither steres nor parker.

    btw this thing hasn't been worth watching in person in years, is why i am asking normally from in front of a tv. i went to the opener 2 years ago was the last one. and not on my dime.

    far as i am concerned what "es especial" is seeing something more dynamic on like half the new teams. you can do like the rest and turn that around on the critic or y'all can sort out your hinchada with new material at a higher level. the stuff i hear on tv sounds like 2006 while portland is playing songs from recent streaming shows and the fans either seem to know it or have the song sheet.

    nudge.

    I say this with all my past post of looking to respect you and your takes on our club.
    But this was the last straw Juve, you really do need medical help.
    My buddies and me, who are not longer really on this website, but back in the day when Ching was a sub on our nation's national team and Beasley and Donovan were U-17 stalwarts, I was on our Houston boards looking to bring Houston area soccer fans together to back our local USL team at Butler Stadium home games. In 2000, it was literally some high school boys with a drum and some passion for the sport, with me and a few others that loved the beautiful game. Then 9/11 happened.
    So all these year on, to have what we have here in Houston with our legacy of class footballers and even more significant, how our diverse city just welcomed these new players. Who go on to win a title on our eternal rival's home ground, out side of perhaps winning the CONCACAF regnal title, that was tops amigo mio.
    Perhaps you as well can focus on the good and let the over obedient digs on our club's FO take a rest.
