The Dynamo take to the field at Robertson Stadium looking to win back-to-back matches for the first time in 2011. It took the entire season last year to accomplish this feet, so putting together the victories this early in the season would be another good sign of the positive progression the Dynamo are making.
It's been a busy week with the signings of Je-Vaughn Watson and Sergio Koke, but neither will be available for this match as they await their international transfer certificates. Except to see a fairly similar lineup to last week as Ching and Taylor remain out with injuries.
Dynamo Starting XI
Dynamo Bench: Deric, Robinson, Clark, Sarkodie, Garey, Chabala, Dixon
Revolution Starting XI:
Reis, Alston, Soares, Barnes, Tierney, Coria, Perovic, McCarthy, Boggs, Schilawski, Lekic

Since I just got back from a 3 days weekend at Canyon Lake and had limited internet access...
Can you tell me when the official announcement came out about Koke being signed by the Dynamo?
I want to know whether I should hate JJO or just utterly despise him right now…

It came out on the team website and via press release on Friday afternoon…i’d have to check the exact time

K, thanks.
I knew it was Friday sometime, cuz I did manage to check Dynamo Theory from my phone two different times during the trip for updates and such. It was a beautiful moment when I read the official Koke to the Dynamo post, and even more beautiful when I saw he wasn’t signed as a DP.
It just shows how much of a class act he actually is, to not demand he be the DP, the star attraction. The guy has passion, and plays with it every game. I don’t care if he’s not 100% successful from the start. As long as he shows the passion that he showed for Aris, he will becomed one of the most beloved Dynamo players.
Of course, if he comes over and starts creating and finding goals from the get-go, well then, he might just become one of the most beloved MLS players of all time. Lol.

Well for me, the non-DP is a great carrot. If he comes in an tears it up, they can renegotiate a bigger deal at DP levels.

Hadn't even though about that avenue...
I think Koke also sees the opportunity for him here overall. Prove himself a commodity, and a guy who can play at this level (and above), and he’ll bank for sure. Maybe not with the Dynamo in 2-3 years, but probably someone over in Europe. But this move is absolutely great for MLS as a whole, and one that’s really been needed.
It signals the international recognition from reasonably quality players, and it also shows the players know who is watching.

New England getting most of the possession, but the Dynamo are creating the better chances when they get it

am am I the only one who thought weaver was fouled in the box?
I don’t care if he got the ball. He went through the back ofWeaver to do It…or am I being a Homer?

It was a foul but it requires a referee with balls to call that

dynamo hetting into that stand around, pass the ball around the back, long ball forwad attack

Umm...
How bad is the officiating in the box on a corner kick when a goalie can essentially forearm a guy to the back of his head and get the foul in his own favor? That’s f’in ridiculous by that referee. Sad, sad stuff.

Even more ridiculous when Don Garber said at the start of the season they wanted to crack down on just that kind of stuff

Yeah
But he also says this every season, and it’s not like it’s ever changed anything.

Yeah, the referees are so f’n bad I doubt there’s any hope of doing anything

two should of been penalties and several missed chances
…and it’s still 0-0. I hate leaving goals on the table lets NE feel good about themselves and thinking they have a chance to steal points

Let's not even discuss the horrible no-goal missed call by the linesman...
That is just poor, poor officiating…
Poor as in piss poor. Horribly piss poor. Like, the refs are giving being piss poor a bad name poor.

Haha...
Payback’s a bitch ain’t it Reis? SUCK IT!!!!
Nice job by Freeman. On the slow-mo replay it looked like he knocked it in with his hand, but I couldn’t tell for sure. Lol.

And the announcing team just confirmed what I thought I saw
Haha. Oh well, sucks to be on the receiving end of bad officiating doesn’t it?

Dynamo win 1-0
