Tyler Deric
I could sit here and tell you all about how Deric picked up right where he had left off last season and made amazing save after amazing save Saturday night, but really you need to see his performance to get it. Check out this video from the Dynamo highlighting his amazing saves. There could be a Save (or two) of the Week nominee hiding in there somewhere.
Keep your beer cans to yourselves
This is a really simple concept that fans seem to have a hard time with. Don't throw bottles or cans out onto the field. Really don't throw anything out on to the field. It looks bad on the fans, the team and the city and unfortunately all it takes is one stupid fan for it to happen.
Saturday night, a fan threw a Dos Equis can at Kei Kamara during the Dynamo game against the Crew and Sunday Orlando City supporters were throwing bottles and cans during their match against New York City FC.
I understand not liking a player or a call on the field, but it doesn't give fans the right to behave that way and trust me the league and the team isn't going to like it. They have no problem punishing supporter groups for lesser offenses like with L.A. supporters, Angel City Brigade. They are currently under sanction for throwing streamers onto the field during the MLS Cup final last season.
