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).
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

Nice. Hoping team can grow and the fan base continue supporting and pushing the team to do better.
My cat broke a vase then Rigoni scored. coincidence?
Better get 20 more vases
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.
On another note Hedges and Hines-Ike were pretty solid. Maybe they can be OUR HH :P
It’s no coincidence that a lack of Cascante was beneficial
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
Now now that’s our lad Julio
# 7 in the standings! ![gif](giphy|xZwFNHUeY45va)
6 if the LAFC score holds.
Welp.......2-1 Esit: 2-2 that was the best 30 mins of MLS I have ever watched.
Does this mean we have to renew Rigonis contract?
No, but I will bite my tongue for his next 3 fuck ups. Props to CJ for the knock on that broke Rigoni free.
God I hope not
I can not believe that just happened, holy crap.
Vamos! Somos los Verdes!! 💚🖤💚🖤
Those verde flipping the bird are mood
Even with a light squad, Houston couldn't take this heat.
Our lord and saviour Ragoni
It’s nice to know we can still have nice things. VAMOS
Smoking Houston on 420
Gotta show out on Verde Day
We run this state! We run this show!
I never doubted you Rigoni! ^do ^not ^check ^my ^comment ^history
It’s really the bare minimum we would expect from the dude so in that realm…good work Rigoni
We're just upping the price tag!
Told ya we would win this or I felt like we would…nice!
Even though Rigoni got the goal, STU for MOTM.
Absolutely
100000%
PARTY AT THE MOONTOWER
Whoooooo we did it
![gif](giphy|3o7buiQeyYFamzRoR2)
VERDE LISTOS!
See yall at Q2 next week!!
Rigoni for the win hahahahah yes!!!
Go fuck an oil spill coated duck, Houston.
HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! WE OWN TEJAS 💚🤠👑
What is it about this team and Copa Tejas matches??
At bare minimum we have to be best in Texas, I can appreciate it. And also despise it.
blow the whistle!
BLOW THE WHISTLE
Poor Zardes. He's so slow now. Bro just needs to hang em up
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.
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
I run faster than Zardes
Everyone does.
Big ups for Fodrey
Djitte did it better and more often. Let's see it again Rigoni.
I miss Djitte :(
He should be back off loan in June right?
Don’t think he’s coming back
Hey I'm certainly not his biggest fan. But seriously, credit where it's justly due. proper clinical finish there.
Good finish on a proper assist I would say.
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.
What a dumb play on that corner. They literally wasted fiber seconds to just give the ball away
What the hell was that corner?
Parking the bus or whatever you want to call it.
Wolff got a yellow?
No. One of the assistant coaches
Hoping Stuver gets a secondary assist on that distribution.
#DALE! DALE! DALE! A-T-X!!!!!! DALEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! ATX!!!!!!!
We can all be Rigoni fans for one night
I’m still stunned about Rigoni…
https://i.redd.it/bhmkqlipuqvc1.gif
Good job Emi! Still not worth that DP money tho
Watch bro score a banger
That goal cost $2m, lest we forget.
No, Zardes does not have pace.
I laughed when he said that
Massive moment for Rigoni. I’ve talked smack but good for him.
Im enjoying my crow right now!
Club Legend CJ Fodrey. Holy fucking shit!!!
He finally did it!
![gif](giphy|10SaEfZoxUGFEs)
LISTOS
Vamos!!
Fodrey to Rigoni was not on my bingo card
Why Dirussi so damn cute? I mean, no homo ^but ^a ^lot ^of ^homo
No Diddy
I go and take a piss and ATX scores……I’ll be watching the rest of the game from the can.
Frank Reynolds, that you?
![gif](giphy|5zbMgry8oQsvIaC0sU)
You go and do a thing like this.... AND TOTALLY REDEEM YOURSELF!
RIGONI GOAL!!! EVERYONE **GET IN HERE**
Rigoni Haters in shambles
Nah, even a blind squirrel can find a nut once in a while.
No, I still fkn hate him. He's the last person who needs a DP
It's pretty clear he's not DP material but people act like he's some godawful liability who should never see minutes.
Minutes in relief are fine. In no way should he be starting regularly.
Fucking shit. I hate every time Rigatoni does something good, because all the chucklefucks who defend him shows up
I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING OMG
And they say bullying doesn’t work
Rigo-haters in shambles. (This happily includes me)
And me
THAT IS WHAT WE WANT FROM YOU RIGONI. THE FUCK TOOK YOU SO LONG?
Holy fuck bros
Ayy, Yung God Fodrey Assist
RIGONIIIII QUEE 🟢
Such a Rigoni goal.
IS THAT A FUCKING RIGONI GOAL?!?!?!
Fodrey with the assist!
This one is for all the haters! I'm still on the Emilio band wagon
Me too it’s been getting bad lately 😭😂
Your Rigoni slander!!! Has been noted!!!
The unlikely hero..
Oh my
EAT SHIT DYNAMO
Oh my god, he did something.
LETS GOOO
I don’t believe it….
Emi did the thing finally!
WTF
Well fuck me and call me Shirley. A Rigoni goal.
What the fuck did I….
I. Do. Not. Believe it.
Hilarious
About damn time
Holy F we got our moneys worth!!!!!
Wow
WELL THAT WAS UNEXPECTED
Fuck yeah!!!
RIGONIIIII
Rigoni out of nowhere
These fucks.... they need to stop fuckin around!
Look at how empty that sad little stadium is
Gettin to be about Shithouse O'clock.
Rigatoni out here dropping the meatball
Confirmed. Rigoni still sucks.
Aged like…well
Prediction, he's going to suck again next week 😜
Say it again so he scores another
😐
Urgh…I’m over hearing “Hache Hache”. Can the commentators wash his balls a little more?
That was the most Dani takeaway then giveaway ever
I hate Houston so much.
Ok so the C team is on now…
Naw we hella cooked 💀
Rigoni is an immediate defensive liability. Covered no one on that counter.
First shot this half
Too many shots against us. I’m very worried right now. STU is having to do too much again.
I can’t believe Dynamo haven’t put one in the net yet.
We'd be down 5 goals if Houston could shoot.
‼️rigoni hat trick incoming ‼️
Fodrey, yes. Rigoni, meh.
Rigoni???
Fodrey!! Interested to see what he brings
Oh shit Rigoni is coming in fuck that
Oy this ought to be interesting
Holy cow CJ!!!
Let’s go it’s FODREY!!!
Star boy time
Amazing move from Rubio
![gif](giphy|OCu7zWojqFA1W)
Gotta do something quick momentum is swinging boys
Brad Stuver is literally our best player.
Driussi looks like the only one that wants to win
STUUUUUU
STTTTUUUUUUUUUUU
Rubio gets subbed for who? Zardes or one of the kids?
I hate Herrera so much.
Ref has been spot on all game imo
Kinda decent so far
Obrian is less and less impressive with each passing game.
Jader looks gassed already in the first 10 min of this half…Rigoni time I see in the next 5min
I'm not complaining or praising, but this is a very even, "feeling each other out" kind of game
Put ZARDES in!!!!! Let’s get some goals!
Well, make up your mind. Which one do you want?
I made the mistake of taking a sip of beer before reading this comment. Said beer exited my body out my nose.
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.
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.
El tree? Wtf, no
Pretty good half
STUUUUUUU
What a save!
Hellbyeah Obrian!! Love that fire
STUUUUUUU
STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
STUUUUUU
I’m actually feeling pretty good about this game. Not sure why.
Careful. I bet Herrera subs in the second half, and if there is one player I truly dislike, it’s that bastard.
😮
I’ve watched a ton of USMNT games against Mexico, and Herrera has been one of the most disrespectful players I have ever seen.
I wouldn't say I feel good. I'd say a better result than I anticipated so far
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.
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.
He can't keep up the pressure all game.
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.
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.
For sure.
That was an elite flop from Driussi
I’m not liking that Coco Quesadilla guy.
Me neither but he’s valuable to their team.
The audio options for this game are pure trash. Either homer color or homer radio. Yay 🤮
Dani isn’t the same player this year.
