poor passing and ball control so far

by DD77DD on Jul 23, 2011 9:57 PM CDT reply actions

Good chance

Cameron should have left that for Bruin though :/

Chance for Chivas

Good defense to prevent a shot

31’ minute goal by Braun.

We look sluggish...

Goal Chivas

Chivas 2- Dynamo 0

by DD77DD on Jul 23, 2011 10:17 PM CDT reply actions

Chivas is having way more possession than us so far and we aren’t doing very well at getting an organized attack going

by Dynamaniac on Jul 23, 2011 10:19 PM CDT reply actions

wow Chivas' second goal was pretty good

The Dynamo are not playing with heart like always. Little possession and poor organization is costing us. Terrible ball control

This team sucks.

Just wondering (off topic)

since when do we have an intense rivalry with Seattle?

by Dynamaniac on Jul 23, 2011 10:25 PM CDT reply actions

do we?

by DD77DD on Jul 23, 2011 10:25 PM CDT up reply actions

the Dynamo commercials are advertising that we do

by Dynamaniac on Jul 23, 2011 10:26 PM CDT up reply actions

In that case…

Boooooooooooo Seattle! You Suck!!!!!!!!

by DD77DD on Jul 23, 2011 10:27 PM CDT up reply actions

another poor start, like usual

by DD77DD on Jul 23, 2011 10:25 PM CDT reply actions

same shit, different day

by RedAce on Jul 23, 2011 10:34 PM CDT up reply actions

pretty much

by DD77DD on Jul 23, 2011 10:39 PM CDT up reply actions

The only way I see us getting a goal at this point is off of a corner or set piece

by Dynamaniac on Jul 23, 2011 10:55 PM CDT reply actions

that's the only way we can score and have scored

by RedAce on Jul 23, 2011 11:04 PM CDT up reply actions

Watson Red Card

things just get better and better _

by Dynamaniac on Jul 23, 2011 11:05 PM CDT reply actions

Watson sent off because of dumbass move

by RedAce on Jul 23, 2011 11:06 PM CDT up reply actions

Hat trick for Justin Braun

Well deserved for capitalizing on all of his chances.

3-0 Chivas

by Dynamaniac on Jul 23, 2011 11:21 PM CDT reply actions

piece of shit team!

Now for our poor editor Ginge to write about how shitty the Dynamo played. Don’t stress yourself out buddy, it ain’t worth writing about.

that should be the picture of your next blog lol

by RedAce on Jul 24, 2011 12:18 AM CDT up reply actions

Agreed ^ haha

by Dynamaniac on Jul 24, 2011 1:51 AM CDT reply actions

terrible

looking at the highlights of this game a few things stood out.

1. sarkodie got skinned
2. cameron looked like he should have been playing CB
3. Watson needs to be gotten rid of.
4. need to make a splash for a CAM and trade watson for someone else to back up the new CAM.
5. watson doesnt look like he cares about this team at all.

Where do we go from here? need serious reinforcements. are we really only missinf one forward and one CAM i think our defense out wide is looking pretty chitty. hainault and cameron would be awesome. but im still not convinced by ashe, and far less by sarkodie. however sarkodie is still a rookie so he gets a pass. ashe on the other hand has done ok but i am just not convinced he should be our final solution on the LB position.

And just to beat the dead horse, WHY THE F@(% IS CAMERON STILL IN THE MIDFIELD?

also, saw some of the portland game. seemed as though palmer was playing as a RB. looked decent, was crossing well

by nicolai on Jul 24, 2011 3:31 AM CDT reply actions

Watson terrible buy

I also don’t like Watson. How the f*** are you going to get a red when you already have a yellow? He makes the #10 shirt look shit. He’s a disgrace to that number!!! Let’s trade him for LaBrocca lol. I just don’t want Watson in this team anymore…he hasn’t produced anything for us. I remember when Bolton was playing against us and Bruin looked frustrated with Watson’s passes.
