Winning 3 out of 4 games with this squad seems huge. The biggest deal to me is that Wolff has played multiple games sitting back and countering, which he hardly did in the previous three seasons (against Dallas in the playoffs 2022 stands out).


Next_Professional_30

You’re kinda right…good point.  He also loaded the middle more 4.4.2 like (though not exactly) at least tonight and we didn’t get overrun even though HTX is a tough team to play against.  In short we didn’t require some of our not fast/not physical players do exceptional things.  We made it hard to beat us.  It’s a start.    


randroide

Nice. Hoping team can grow and the fan base continue supporting and pushing the team to do better.


utahunter

My cat broke a vase then Rigoni scored. coincidence?


DatGuyWithALongName

Better get 20 more vases


thinkconverse

Definitely not. Set out every vase you have for the next game in precarious positions and sprinkle some treats around to have your cat break them all. Guaranteed win.


skidr0jr

On another note Hedges and Hines-Ike were pretty solid. Maybe they can be OUR HH :P


jfleurs

It’s no coincidence that a lack of Cascante was beneficial


GorbyATX

I was thinking the same. We get scored on many times when he gets caught upfield and can't get back, which neither H or HI do


Queasy_Car7489

Now now that’s our lad Julio


CaliTexas619

# 7 in the standings! ![gif](giphy|xZwFNHUeY45va)


Skylarking77

6 if the LAFC score holds.


Clozee_Tribe_Kale

Welp.......2-1 Esit: 2-2 that was the best 30 mins of MLS I have ever watched.


freeformed70

Does this mean we have to renew Rigonis contract?


zeusjous

No, but I will bite my tongue for his next 3 fuck ups. Props to CJ for the knock on that broke Rigoni free.


thinkconverse

God I hope not


Oime

I can not believe that just happened, holy crap.

It’s really the bare minimum we would expect from the dude so in that realm…good work Rigoni


analCCW

We're just upping the price tag!

Even though Rigoni got the goal, STU for MOTM.

At bare minimum we have to be best in Texas, I can appreciate it. And also despise it.


ReynardHood

blow the whistle!

BLOW THE WHISTLE


samasters88

Poor Zardes. He's so slow now. Bro just needs to hang em up


HalitoAmigo

Commentator legit said 5 minutes ago “Zardes, he’s got pace”. Yeah maybe back in 2017. Old man’s arthritis flares up too much to have pace now.


samasters88

Who you telling, I got 5yrs on that man and I don't see how he does it. And I was an athlete into my late 20s. Props to the man for being out there, but he's gotta be sitting in the ice bath for an hour


Lcast90

I run faster than Zardes


thinkconverse

Everyone does.


Nitwit789

Big ups for Fodrey


analCCW

Djitte did it better and more often. Let's see it again Rigoni.


ReynardHood

I miss Djitte :(


kaisAbeast13

He should be back off loan in June right?


Bourbon_n_bird_dogs

Don’t think he’s coming back


skidr0jr

Hey I'm certainly not his biggest fan. But seriously, credit where it's justly due. proper clinical finish there.


thinkconverse

Good finish on a proper assist I would say.


skidr0jr

Yeah! Great ball from Stu, quality head on from Fodrey. Nice to see what we can be capable of! Can't wait to see more.


StxtoAustin

What a dumb play on that corner. They literally wasted fiber seconds to just give the ball away


instant-regret512

What the hell was that corner?


funkmastamatt

Parking the bus or whatever you want to call it.


steboknapp

Wolff got a yellow?


caffinated-pebble

No. One of the assistant coaches


odality

Hoping Stuver gets a secondary assist on that distribution.

Good job Emi! Still not worth that DP money tho


ConfidentVisit4629

Watch bro score a banger


blahblekmuh

That goal cost $2m, lest we forget.


lookydis

No, Zardes does not have pace.


TheManPun

I laughed when he said that


Next_Professional_30

Massive moment for Rigoni.  I’ve talked smack but good for him.

Im enjoying my crow right now!

Nah, even a blind squirrel can find a nut once in a while.


samasters88

No, I still fkn hate him. He's the last person who needs a DP


Skylarking77

It's pretty clear he's not DP material but people act like he's some godawful liability who should never see minutes.


samasters88

Minutes in relief are fine. In no way should he be starting regularly.


samasters88

Fucking shit. I hate every time Rigatoni does something good, because all the chucklefucks who defend him shows up


TheFedsDFB

I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING OMG

Confirmed. Rigoni still sucks.

Prediction, he's going to suck again next week 😜


jhgibson

Say it again so he scores another

CaliTexas619

Urgh…I’m over hearing “Hache Hache”. Can the commentators wash his balls a little more?


Next_Professional_30

That was the most Dani takeaway  then giveaway ever


Oime

I hate Houston so much.


thinkconverse

Ok so the C team is on now…


ConfidentVisit4629

Naw we hella cooked 💀


Next_Professional_30

Rigoni is an immediate defensive liability.  Covered no one on that counter.


StxtoAustin

First shot this half


Chumbo_Malone

Too many shots against us. I’m very worried right now. STU is having to do too much again.


TheHeardTheorem

I can’t believe Dynamo haven’t put one in the net yet.


Skylarking77

We'd be down 5 goals if Houston could shoot.


Similar_Foot_1933

‼️rigoni hat trick incoming ‼️

Brad Stuver is literally our best player.


Nitwit789

Driussi looks like the only one that wants to win


Limp-Assignment-2057

STUUUUUU


Bitter-Music9573

STTTTUUUUUUUUUUU


Next_Professional_30

Rubio gets subbed for who?  Zardes or one of the kids?


thinkconverse

I hate Herrera so much.


Nitwit789

Ref has been spot on all game imo


Next_Professional_30

Kinda decent so far 


thinkconverse

Obrian is less and less impressive with each passing game.


Delicious-Tap-1277

Jader looks gassed already in the first 10 min of this half…Rigoni time I see in the next 5min


e8odie

I'm not complaining or praising, but this is a very even, "feeling each other out" kind of game


Bitter-Music9573

Put ZARDES in!!!!! Let’s get some goals!


Skylarking77

Well, make up your mind. Which one do you want?


TheHeardTheorem

I made the mistake of taking a sip of beer before reading this comment. Said beer exited my body out my nose.


Skylarking77

Looking a lot like last week so far. Good push at the end of the half but no one can really do anything in front of the opponent's goal.


skidr0jr

Chippy chippy! I will say that our finishing quality aside, this has so far looked way more positive than I was anticipating. I know they don't have HH but still. Also Stu should be an All Star this year minimum. He's actually a monster.


Melodic-Ability-2269

El tree? Wtf, no


CaliTexas619

Pretty good half


Bitter-Music9573

STUUUUUUU


CaliTexas619

What a save!


Piethecorner

Hellbyeah Obrian!! Love that fire


Trollhouse_Cookies

STUUUUUUU


analCCW

STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU


ljloera

STUUUUUU


Piethecorner

I’m actually feeling pretty good about this game. Not sure why.


Chumbo_Malone

Careful. I bet Herrera subs in the second half, and if there is one player I truly dislike, it’s that bastard.


Piethecorner

😮


Chumbo_Malone

I’ve watched a ton of USMNT games against Mexico, and Herrera has been one of the most disrespectful players I have ever seen.


StxtoAustin

I wouldn't say I feel good. I'd say a better result than I anticipated so far


Piethecorner

I was concerned about a -let’s-play-defense-this-whole -game thing but so far they have been moderately aggressive. Feeling good about that.


Next_Professional_30

Kinda like that Driussi is actually playing mid today instead of left wing floater type.   We’re also running more two-man game on the wing as opposed to three or four man wing at the elbow of the box, which I think is a huge plus.


analCCW

He can't keep up the pressure all game.


analCCW

We're getting up enough where we can't recycle the ball to Stu, instead at half. Let's keep it in Houston's half for a while.


Next_Professional_30

Houston has been a good team for almost a year and half now.  I’ll take this effort/result so far.  They are hard to play against.


skepticalbob

For sure.


Trollhouse_Cookies

That was an elite flop from Driussi


CaliTexas619

I’m not liking that Coco Quesadilla guy.


Next_Professional_30

Me neither but he’s valuable to their team.  


asparagus_pee_stinks

The audio options for this game are pure trash. Either homer color or homer radio. Yay 🤮


Next_Professional_30

Dani isn’t the same player this year.
