    Seattle is 4-0-1 in their last five league games going back to last year including the playoffs scoring 11 goals and allowing 4. Their most recent game was a home draw, 1-1, against Columbus on March 1. The Sounders also had 2 draws and were eliminated by Olimpia in the CCL this year. SEA was 5-8-4 in the regular season on the road in 2019. They next host Dallas on March 21.

    The Dynamo are 1-3-1 in the last five league games scoring 7 goals and allowing 12. Houston was 10-3-4 in home league games in 2019 and 0-0-1 so far this year.

    The Dynamo next travel to Colorado on March 21 and then return home to host Cruz Azul in the BBVA Classic on March 27.

    We are going to lose the midfield on this one and look poor on defense. Not sure I will buy tickets.
    Schemtzer is a good coach and gets a lot out of his players.

    C'MON boys! You have to pick yourself up off the mat and knuckle up! The defending champions are coming to our house and your fellas best be up for the fight!!!
    VAMO' HOUSTON n DALE DYNAMO!!!

    I will say this, when Seattle has their Rave Green and we are of course in our Wildcatter Orange, the two colors on display on a backdrop of what should be a terrific emerald green soccer field at BBVA, this scene is a terrific image for what MLS looks and feels like. Both clubs also being MLS Cup and Open Cup champions have faced each other on multiple occasions in playoffs and Cup runs late in the bracket.

    If any thing Ramos and your men, please go out there and play like it is your last game! Get out there Saturday night and BE SOMEONE sign at night.jpg

    Seattle hasn't been tremendously impressive so far this season. Unless memory fails me, they seem to be generally slow starters the last couple of seasons.

    Also, Lodeiro is out.

    Correct!

    And if our men in orange are worth their salt, they should be pissed that they got prison raped like they did against Kansas City on the road and should be licking their chops to get after someone else.
    What better way to burn off some angst than to have the defending champions arrive in your backyard for a good ol' donnybrook!!!

    A lot of Dynamo draws feel like losses, I get you, but I think you meant 0-1

    Counterpoint: Morris looks better than all of our strikers to date, combined.

    That is correct. The score of the game on July 27, 2019 was 0-1 as listed in the historic rundown I apologize for the typo.

    If you go, enjoy the game because I think this will be one of the last sporting events to go off before they all shut down or play closed doors. In 2 weeks all major sports will be postponed for a few weeks

    are people with the names mcnamara, memo, martinez, vera, and lundkvist starting?

    if so, still not seeing a favored path to winning many games, much less this one

    I would not lump Memo in w Macnamara and Martinez. I think he holds his own and could use some help from team mates who need to elevate their play or be replaced with someone better.

    Boniek has struggled as well. We need more offense out of the midfield.

    I don't think this team can play the 433 with Martinez / Macnamara.

    my starting 11 from our isle of misfits

    Maric
    Valentin Struna Figeruoa Lundquist
    Boniek Varus Martinez
    Memo
    Elis Manotas

    subs
    Quintero
    Ramirez
    Lima
    Hansen
    Nelson
    Cabrera
    Macnamara

    If Elis, Marttinez, Lundquist have a bad first half:
    yank Elis and put in Quintero
    pull Martinez and put in Hansen
    Lundquist -> Lima

    if you haven't done any of that Ramirez for Manotas if he's flagging at 70minutes
    if you haven't done any of that Quintero for Elis if he's flagging at 60minutes
    Hansen for Martinez at 60 minutes

    A lot of the substitutions may be predicated on the matchup w one on one battles - who's getting abused or need's to be exploited?

    You don’t have to be favored to win. Score starts 0:0. :thumbsup:

    Having said that we are home. We should be favored.

    I agree about Morris mainly because we don’t have a fullback that can play with him. he could easily have his way with either Valentine or Lundqvist. Hope those boys can hold Morris down. Bigger concern for me is Joao Paulo. He looks like the real deal.

    Here is an old footy chant from supporters that are going through a rough time with their squad!
    We never win at home, we never win away

    We lost last week n we’re gonna lose today!

    EA is terrible at simulation. Football Manager is infinitely better in every way.

    Yep, an EA FIFA 20 simulation means absolutely nothing. It's an arcade game, not remotely a simulation of soccer.
