The Dynamo are in a quandry. On the heels of winning their second consecutive MLS Cup, they're at the center of a dispute with the MLS. The Orange are owned by AEG, an entertainment conglomerate owned by Phil Anschutz. AEG used to own close to half of the teams in MLS, but are now down to just our all-conquering hometown boys, and the pretty boy-signing LA Galaxy. The MLS is ready for AEG to shed...

Actually this is event is a time to celebrate - even though the Dynamo lost a tough SuperLiga battle last night against CF Pachuca. The Dynamo are inviting you, the fans, to come celebrate this season’s achievements with them as part of their Summer Soccer Ball (haha…get it?). The party starts at 7pm tonight at Planeta Bar-Rio, where there will be drink specials (including orange margaritas!), door prizes (for the early party-goers), and a big...

The Dynamo continued their winning ways last night when they took on DC United at Robertson Stadium. While the Dynamo’s offense (and the fans) started off a little out of sorts, the defense remained strong throughout the game. DC continued to drive to the goal in the opening minutes, but Zach Wells remained poised in the box. In the 37th minute Sugarland’s own Stuart Holden had a very exciting shot on goal which just bounced...

As part of a way to get some international exposure (and perhaps credibility), the MLS has introduced the North American SuperLiga Tournament this year. This is a competition between 4 MLS teams and 4 teams in Mexico’s Primera División. The 4 MLS teams were selected by invitation this year, but in the future tournaments they will be selected based on the top 4 teams during regular season play. The Houston Dynamo, along with DC United...

Remember back in May, when news broke about the possibility of building a new stadium for the Houston Dynamo downtown? Back then, everyone said negotiations between the city and the Dynamo would wrap in in -mid-July — but now that we're actually in the middle of July, that's changed. The new target for an announcement, the Chronicle reports, is September — but that doesn't mean talks are breaking down, apparently. "We believe we've made some...

If you are a fan of Dynamo soccer, July is going to be an exciting month. Coming off of an undefeated six game streak, the Dynamo are set to play 7 games this month (not including the MLS all star game). If that weren’t enough, the team’s lineup has changed slightly with 1) the recent return of Ching and De Rosario (among others) from international play, 2) the unknown fate of mid-fielder Brad Davis who...

After suffering an upsetting loss on Thursday night in the CONCACAF cup, the Dynamo headed back to Houston to face LA Galaxy for the MLS opener. The team only had a brief workout on Saturday before entering Robertson Stadium for Sunday’s game. The LA Galaxy started the game as if they had something to prove (Beckham-who?) with a very close shot in the 4th minute by Nate Jaqua. Then in the 14th minute Dynamo Goalie,...

The Houston Dynamo unleashed their new mascot this morning at the Houston Zoo - meet Diesel, an orange and white fox. The mascot was chosen from entries by students at the Art Institute of Houston. Eric Hulsey and Leslie Lopez, the winning artists, will receive a $500 scholarship for their winning entry. The Dynamo marketing team says the name Diesel “plays off Houston's famous petroleum industry. Diesel is a fuel needed to run an engine...

Let's go ahead and get the cordial introductions out of the way, there's a game to be won here, and a championship to defend. The MLS announced yesterday that David Beckham, former England captain-slash-current Real Madrid mid-fielder-slash-tabloid target is set to make his first and only Houston appearance on Oct. 7 with the LA Galaxy.
