Lets look at the facts: DCU has won 12 major domestic and international trophies.

How many has Houston won?

I will agree with Dave– Dynamoquakes are king.

Just not the Dynamo. Just not the Quakes.

Daryl, great to have you back, and great job on this write up. The San Houston Dynamoquakes are definitely the best franchise historically in MLS for sure.

Heh, sorry ajani I was a little harsh in that second comment, more less frustrated with the less than stellar coverage its not getting here in Houston, sure the large fan base recognize’s that its history but outside of that the coverage has been meager.

and by the way, if you get a 3peat that’s awesome and all, bravo to any MLS success, honestly. but is a league tournament victory really equal to a league season record 1st place win? really?

that’s not a houston vs dc thing that’s just something I am generally annoyed with in MLS. it makes no sense to me. for example does anyone really value the copa del rey or the FA cup, etc. over 1st place in la liga or the EPL?

maybe that’s just me…

lol I know the Open Cup doesn’t get any bragging rights =) that’s a given. I know we suck this year, you don’t have to tell me that, I’ve had to watch us go down in flames.

I’ll back off because this is the Dynamo blog and frankly considering how this season is going things might change soon…but as of RIGHT NOW, DC is the best club in MLS history (whether that history was ‘mickey mouse age’ or not), and that’s not a matter of opinion, it’s fact…

Oh and for the record….D.C. United won all those accolades in their early years of being in the league correct me if I’m wrong but that was when MLS was still in the Mickey Mouse age, Come into the 21st century buddy where the play is tougher and the season is longer and WE ARE the best team in MLS history.

Just because you won a Pub competition this year (U.S. Open Cup) doesn’t give you bragging rights, sorry. It just doesn’t.

Don’t get me wrong though I have a strong respect for D.C. United and as I stated they are the most storied club in MLS History.

Lol, I’m not pretending anything ajani, its my own personal opinion take it or leave it.

That being said….the Dynamo will be the best team in MLS if the 3 peat is completed something that your D.C. United could not do agaisnt the Chicago Fire in that ill fated MLS Cup final.

y’all are a million times better than DC right now, I’ll give you that–but DC is the best team in MLS history, take it or leave it, it’ll be true. The MLS Cup, playoffs, etc. might be winning in the eyes of most Americans but the last time I checked, in soccer, the best season record wins. DC’s got the most decorations, records, etc. for sure but Houston is definitely better at the moment.

so feel free to celebrate your current awesomeness. just don’t try and pretend that you are the best club in MLS history, because you just aren’t.
