The Dynamo return home after a tough draw in Chicago to face a DC United team that has struggled after a good start. Charlie Davies comes to Houston for the first time, but the big story tonight is the return of Pat Onstad. There will be a ceremony honoring the former Dynamo goalkeeper after the match. Houston looks to improve their unbeaten streak to six matches.
Sergio Koke is also here and could make the bench tonight...or who knows, he might start. We'll find out when tonight's lineups are released.
Dynamo Starting XI:
DC United Starting XI: Hamid; Zayner, Kitchen, Jakovic, Burch; Fred, Simms, McCarty, Pontius; Wolff, Davies

???
no he didn’t. how do you dive into contact anyways that doesn’t even make sense. a dive means you hit the deck without contact.
he beat his man and got his legs taken out by a slide tackle from the side.
Win or lose, we'll always be there for you.

He was going down before Freeman got there
Minimal contact and a terrible first touch saved Freeman

That was wasteful from Freeeman
Dynamo need some possession here to slow down DC’s momentum

Bruin + Koke...
That’s going to be a SCARY combination up top…wow.

Just since I called it....
Just noticed that DC is VERY short. I mean, Corey Ashe looks tall against all but Hamid. Weaver and Bruin will be massive tonight.

Well, if Cameron is injured
We know who takes his place…

Agreed
And with the full week ahead, and being up 4-1, I can’t blame Dom.

No need to rush him, let him settle for a full week of training

And in two minutes of action for him...
He’s shown creativity and a fluidity in play. He’s going to be fun to watch
-- "...I was sick, napping, and then woke up and came to the computer to read a note from the Gingered Angel of Doom..." Martek - Dynamo Theory Blog
Suddenly, we don't have a forward problem anymore
Bruin, Weaver, Koke, Ching. Strikeforce.

I'll add more later but three quick thoughts
1. Will “dancing bear” Bruin made me a happy papabear
2. I’m really glad we won. I was on about a five game losing streak for games I attended. If we lost I was going to have to ban myself.
3. Koke’s off the ball movement was a breath of fresh air even in limited time. He sees the game very well and I feel pretty confident he will make us dangerous. Vision and movement really stood out to me.

I agree about Koke
Even on TV in Standard Def I could see he had vision and just a knack for creating…
I know we all have a mancrush on him, but damn, he’s going to deliver on our hopes, too.
