Houston Dynamo vs. D.C. United: Your Running Commentary

Houston Dynamo Logo D.C. United Logo

The Houston Dynamo will look to extend a five-match unbeaten streak against a D.C. United team looking to erase the taste of last week's 4-0 thrashing against New York in tonight's MLS match-up (8:30pm, Fox Soccer Channel).

The Dynamo will be without forward Brian Ching once again, but will be lead by midfielder Brad Davis. The playmaking winger heads an offense that hasn't quite been firing well in the run of play, but could have some success against a shaky D.C. United defense.

D.C. will look to counter with MLS scoring leader Charlie Davies, as well as in-form winger Chris Pontius, which may still not be enough to score on a Houston defense that has allowed just five goals in six matches.

If you will be watching tonight's match, please feel free to share your thoughts, opinions and some play-by-play in the comments section below.

Enjoy the action.

  1. Jesus people, I hate DC, but calling for a ban for that tackle is a laugh. He got the ball first, yellow card was deserved for his trailing leg.

  2. I missed the reply but I find it hard to believe that wasn’t offsides. I mean, he was miles beyond the dc defense. Even Ricky Bobby isn’t that fast.

  3. DC is going to need to spend this summer for some players to strengthen the squad, the way I see it they finish 12th or 15th if they don’t fix their midfield and defending, not enough scoring oppurtunities from the run of play.

  4. DC’s best attempt (outside of FK goal) came from a nice build up early in the game…unsurprisingly they have not threatened or connected passes together since then.

  5. DC cant pass for anything…but really neither can Houston. Houston can cross but we already knew Davis could do that. Should be 2-2 really.

  6. In general, I think that is the problem with MLS, besides the unsold seats. The energy is obvisouly there, the technique has improved across the league since the inception, the tactics are getting much better, but the passing can often be naive and sloppy.

  7. McCarty is so not a #10. Can’t play a cutting pass to save his life. DC needs to sign a creative player of some sort, and soon.
