My recent posts indicate my frustrations, which may appear to be a little acrimonious. The truth isn't as harsh as I make it out to be, honestly. A few days ago I contacted the powers-that-be and proposed a ... http://houston.theoffside.com/team-news/beckhams-balls-not-actually-gold.html Greetings, Dynamo fans. I haven’t written in awhile. It’s partly because my internet closes out 90% of the time I try to access the site, but mostly because soccer (or MLS) hasn’t held my interest. I am fairly new to soccer so I was hoping this blog would chronicle my growing ... http://houston.theoffside.com/team-news/a-long-and-winding-road.html So, the Dynamo fell 3-2 to Isidro Metapan.

One of them is that if you want to end a relationship with someone you supposedly care about, you deal with them honestly. You don't promise excitement and entertainment only to bore the hell out of them. But of ... http://houston.theoffside.com/team-news/empty-promises.html Dynamo, it’s time to test your mettle. Your final two regular season opponents have also clinched invitations to the postseason. So, knowing that win or lose you’ll still be in the dance, does that alter your mindset? Will you be reserved to rest or do you push for custody of ... http://houston.theoffside.com/team-news/dynamo-vs-galaxy-and-other-stuff.html So I’m kind of bummed that yesterday’s post fetched zero responses from the Offside readers. The picture of Stuart Holden had me laughing for a good bit of the day, but to each his own. If you looked at the Dynamo's picture gallery from the charity match against Monterrey then you ... http://houston.theoffside.com/team-news/geoff-does-it-like-a-rabbit.html Not much to write about today. The Charity Cup went well from what I have read. I couldn’t find a television broadcast (if there was one to be found) so I’m relying on the written word to keep me informed. You can read about it here. Congratulations to USA on defeating ... http://houston.theoffside.com/team-news/holy-crap-is-stu-okay.html With the Dynamo's Charities Cup coming up this weekend, houstondynamo.com put out a pregame quotesheet that contained a small tidbit of very informative yet very incorrect information.
