Beckham’s Balls Not Actually Gold
By: Jeremy |I have struggled with whether I want to continue writing for The Offside. 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 new page for The Offside. [...]
A Long and Winding Road
By: Jeremy |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 appreciation and understanding of the [...]
Dynamo Bounced From Champions League
By: Jeremy |So, the Dynamo fell 3-2 to Isidro Metapan. After a 7th minute goal from Elias Montes, plus an 8th minute goal from Anal Canal Anel Canales, the Metapan side gained plenty of momentum to push their way past the Orange.
Geoff Cameron managed to skip a ball past the opposing keeper after a perfect feed from [...]
Dynamo vs. Metapan, Need I Say More?
By: Jeremy |Oh man, do we have a barnburner on our hands tonight or what?!? It’s going to be incendiary, a real slobber knocker. People of Earth, it’s the Dynamo versus Isidro Metapan!
Approximately 10 hours from now, just 10 short hours, we can relive the glory, the passion, the edge-of-your-seat, non-stop heart-pounding action that once captivated the [...]
Empty Promises
By: Jeremy |You know, soccer, there are codes of conduct in this world. 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 course, that’s what you did [...]
Dynamo vs. Galaxy (and other stuff)
By: Jeremy |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 the coveted home-field advantage?
It would [...]
Geoff Does It Like A Rabbit
By: Jeremy |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 saw this strange goal celebration [...]
Holy Crap! Is Stu Okay?!?
By: Jeremy |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 Honduras and securing a spot [...]
Who’s Your Sister?
By: Jeremy |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. Here’s a quote from Monterrey’s head coach, Victor Manuel Vucetich:
We appreciate the invitation extended for this game and we want to thank the Dynamo for the opportunity of [...]
Charity, Becks, Minnesota, and Other Stuff
By: Jeremy |It’s a slow news week for the Dynamo so I’m piecing together some stuff.
The inaugural Charities Cup match versus Mexico’s Monterrey is this weekend. Is anyone going? I wonder how many starters will see action for this one. Probably not many considering Holden, Rico, and Ching will be in Honduras with the national team. So [...]
