Hey, H-Town relax. You’ve still got a team in orange that’s in the playoffs. Support your Houston Dynamo this Sunday!

I’m going to start a push to raise the attendance at all pro soccer games in the H. Dynamo, Dash and Dynamo2 should all be packed this summer. HH was right, Mexico has huge crowds at NRG, where are the crowds at ShellEnergy and SaberCat?

Look, my flags made it on AppleTV! A flag for every player. Most people, and the players too, assume the stadium puts them up, but it’s me that has to lug them in and out (usually by bike) and hang them and take them down. 😂🍊🧡

This is how you make fans for life. These kids will tell their friends for years that they scored a goal against Bassi and were able to dribble past him. Bassi was there forever, the kids love him. Great job, @Amine_Bassi! 🧡🤘🇲🇦

We sat across the stadium from Dynamo supporters but we could always hear them over the IMFC supporters. And above us were Dynamo family and players, they were chanting a lot too.
We could hear the Dynamo supporters chanting “we can’t hear you” after the second goal. 🤘🧡

Hey @HoustonDynamo, I’m not one to beg and plead, but as a fan that went to the USOC games in Tampa and Chicago, as well as having driven to last year’s USOC in KC, and having driven to Miami for the game last year when they were a nobody…could you get me 1 ticket, PLEASE? 🧡

If you are worried about the Dynamo in the USOC Wednesday, don’t be. I’ve been to every Dynamo USOC game this year, home and away and we won them all. I’ll be there Wednesday. Also, I went to our game @ Miami last year, we won that one too. We have this. 🤘🧡✈️

On this day in 2011 a group of us were invited by the Dynamo to be props to hold up a big BBVA Compass Bank banner to inaugurate the name of the Dynamo stadium. Celebrities and press were across the stadium watching us unveil the name. But we got a look at our new home. 🧡

I hate that my Texas tax money that should be used to improve the lives of my fellow Texans is instead spent by Abbott to hurt and injure immigrants.
Does he go to bed at night dreaming up more ways to be cruel?
Even with border crossing down 70%, @GovAbbott's behavior is becoming more extreme and cruel.
For him, this isn't about border security — it’s about using taxpayer money to feed red meat to right-wing extremists. @CNN @Acosta

I promised I wasn’t going to get all sad and upset when we released players this year, but the first one I see already makes me sad. He was having such a great season this year until he got hurt and even after that, he brought joy onto the pitch after the games. 😢🤘
Thank you for holding it down on the backline, @hadebe_teenage. Keep on dancing 🧡

The Dynamo Meet the Team event last night was the best they’ve done I think, partly because of the organization and location, and partly because this team is just fun and likable.

Another thing that Pat said at his chalk talk a few weeks ago that their goal is to make us proud, and want to wear Dynamo shirts around town. I was thinking about that down 3–2 last night, planning my H-E-B trip for this morning. But, here’s how I went… 🤘

People want to sell him today. I understand his value, but…the Dynamo have never gotten this kind of exposure before, let’s enjoy it for a while. Get some eyes on us. And… we have sucked since he’s been gone. Money won’t buy us goals or get us to the playoffs. 🇩🇴🤘🍊

I told yall he would probably stay. Yeah, he dreams of playing with a big European team, but his brother told me he’s really happy here and his boys love being in Houston and love their school. Glad he’s staying.
Saturday I told him to stay here. You’re welcome, H-Town. 🧡🤘
It was a priority to resign Coco, Artur and Dorsey this offseason.
Very happy for Coco to extend his contract. Key contributor to our success last year with a bright future ahead of him. Big thanks to his agent Edgardo Carles Cal for the collaboration on this deal.

Go to the game. Don’t stay home and watch. The team needs you in a seat! Support your Dynamo.

Ok, it’s happening… the MLS stories about Dynamo vs LAFC are about LAFC suffering the trauma of the León defeat (even tho they praised them going 0-0 v Atlanta) and the Houston heat. Nothing about Dynamo playing well. Not 1 word of praise. 🤷🏻♂️🍊 #HoldItDown

The idea of putting a gun in everyone’s hand with no license or training because arming everyone makes us safer is backfiring on Texas. Why do people feel it’s their job to shoot suspicious people? This happened in Martindale. The dead man was an unarmed Uber driver.
A 60 year old white man shot and killed Adil Dghoughi, a 31 year old Moroccan Muslim man in Texas while he was just sitting in his car.
Naturally, because the shooter was a white man, he wasn’t arrested or charged!
SAY HIS NAME
JUSTICE FOR ADIL DGHOUGHI

Of all the guys on the field (not named Ben Olsen) after the game, Nelson was by far the happiest. He was in his own world, dancing by himself in his Colombia flag everywhere. Such a joy to watch! And remember, people wanted us to let him go! 🏆 🇨🇴🧡🤘

As a Dynamo fan, how much more fun is it to watch the team this season, working the ball up the field as a group, then 3, 4 or 5 players making tiki-taka passes leading up to a goal, instead of the old days, defending for our lives then passing to Fafa or Elis hoping for a goal.

To every @HoustonDynamo player and employee, we know you don’t get paid nearly enough but I’m proud to support a team that plays their heart out on the field and can go toe to toe against one of the richest teams in North America. Thanks for a fun CCL. See you Saturday! 🧡

We were talking at the last game, we really wish Dynamo would sign HEB as a sponsor. They are TEXAS but also they have the power to make the players local celebrities, like the HEB ads. Imagine Bassi, HH, Nelson and Teenage doing ads. They’d be perfect.

Wanna talk about good omens, @HoustonDynamo fans? I ordered a USOC champion scarf when I got back from Miami. It was going to take like a month to get it here. Then this morning I got an email that it was out for delivery, from 1-4. I had until 2:45 before I had to leave. @ 2:40:

Not complaining, just pointing out the contrast…the Astros, who I’ve bought tickets from once this year, sent me a happy birthday email yesterday. Don’t know how they knew. The Dynamo, who I’ve spent way more time and money with than my own family over the years, said nothing.

That was fun. The Dynamo are back to their best tiki-taka game. A few more goals would’ve helped ease the tension, but it wasn’t for a lack of good chances. And they cleaned up a lot of the errors from the other games. Great to have Bassi and Franco back!
