In 1990 I had just graduated from college and, always a soccer fan and player, decided to go to Italy to watch the World Cup. The most impressive...
I know I'm a Houston guy, but I've been to the last 7 World Cups and really believe this stadium is about as good as it gets when it comes to...
Heft, thanks for starting the thread. You're the first notice I got of this sad passing. I am of an era that, well, I remember as a youngster...
I'm happy to say my wife and I won the trip to the World Cup. Here we are at halftime of some Dynamo game this spring being introduced. Quite a...
I guess you've addressed my real question, and I appreciate that you've had the access: you mention random league games, which I have no doubt...
Coming out of a long stretch of lurking because our club seems to have lost all interest in this competition since the long-lost glory days of...
I just got back from Vegas Monday, and while at the Wynn placed what I think are bets with very favorable odds: +210 to win MLS Cup (Bet $100 to...
A little off topic, but in the world of general sports radio the new news radio station (FM 92) has been amazingly respectful toward the Dynamo....
Do any of you with Dish Network know what's going on with this broadcast? I called them and they said they've had no reports of problems, so I am...
Exactly. By intentionally entering the penalty area early Boxx is, frankly, specifically violating the spirit of the game and trying to cheat on...
If referees would actually make them retake penalties 70% of the time then maybe players would stop encroaching. The initial penalty was a bad...
My wife and I expect to be there for whatever the Saturday match is, wearing our Dynamo jerseys. We'll be out at the Cape for the STS-133 Shuttle...
Another cool thing is the Space Shuttle Discovery (STS-133) is scheduled to launch Feb. 24 from the Cape. There will only be 1 (or funding...
Rickdog, please, all I'm saying is if it takes an extra couple of weeks, even unpaid leave, to see things like the Al Shaqab Stud Farm, there's...
I cannot believe I hadn't previously included these wonderful attractions on my Bucket List. But I simply don't know if it's possible to see all...
I'm sorry. I wasn't aware of this mandate. Can you point out when this was stated as a requirement? Because there are a lot of federations that...
This is in the Top 3 of funniest things I've read, watched, or heard in 2010. I am literally weeping.
You saying that gives me a really really big smile. Thank you. It's an odd thing, that when I stopped writing the FanBlog for the Chronicle...
If there's anyone here complaining about Ghana being done in by cynical play, I would invite you to please review the last 27 minutes of extra...
Re: [NDR] World Cup 2010 Lead Up Thread Rey, looking forward to get down there to join the big party next week, arriving in Johannesburg before...
NAS?? Good memories. I didn't think any of us had survived from those days, circa 1995, aside from what became the Perfessor!
[IMG] I saw a lot of you guys here and there. That was our first trip to Seattle for an MLS game, and I'll tell you those guys have something...
No kidding. I didn't hear every single minute, but even Berry admitted he doesn't know much about how TIRZ arrangements work ("I had someone at...
This was horrible, and we are now proven to be a simply bad team. It's a tough lesson other MLS fans have had to learn at some point, and that...
