The Houston Dynamo planted its flag in Dallas a couple of weeks ago with the above billboard to build the hype for this weekend's match against Texas rival FC Dallas.
The Red Stripes started their response by flying a "Dallas Til I Die" banner over Houston's Robertson Stadium, and now and their fans have gotten into the act.
Check out this video that FC Dallas released just a couple of days before the teams meet this weekend in Houston:

What do you think of the war of words between the two clubs? Who do you see winning this weekend?
Share your thoughts below.
embarrassingly pathetic video from Baja Oklahoma, but actually kinda perfect — you can see all the Frisco soccer moms and their little rugrats
Wake up and smell the coffee adub – the Dynamo are in 3d in the Eastern Conf. – one of the 3 automatic playoff spots.
According to the statistics –
Dynamo 2009 average home attendance – 17,047
Dynamo 2010 average home attendance – 17,310 (76.93% of capacity)
BTW, the 2010-2011 average home attendance for the Houston Rockets – 16,191 (89.7% of capacity)
FCD 2009 average home attendance – 12,441
FCD 2010 average home attendance – 10,815 (down from 2009 and 51.03% of capacity)
2010-2011 average home attendance of the Mavericks -20,101
Pizza Hut Park – 28-29 miles from downtown Dallas
Robertson Stadium – 5 miles from downtown Houston
When you got Holden playing for 27,000 a year for four years, you better win something
#we all despise dallas
Houston fans paint PPP orange

Good points till I got to zellweger… Totally not hot.
It’s very common for sports teams to play outside of the actual city. Rangers and Cowboys play in Arlington, but nobody complains about that.
Not an FCD fan, but they are unbeaten since the4 moment Ferreira was injured. 7 games unbeaten and unscored on in too long to remember.
Consider me surprised. I never thought that would happen when the MVP got hurt. I am starting to think they could do well in CCL if they take it serious. They are starting to get some depth. They just need to get healthy again.
^^ this guy
Dallas may be the better team, but Houston wins this battle. That video is embarrassing.
Rivalries aren’t born out of some marketing campaign. They have to grow organically by the fans. They have to be earned.
My thoughts exactly.
No, Barret doesn’t really count
Forza anything sounds idiotic
Are they trying to take 5 FCD’s 50 fans? FCD should be the one’s using gimmicks. At least this one makes more sense than Artificial Chivas’
speak ignorance? Because it was ignorant to say no one goes to “one of the nicest cities in the US” to watch FCD. Houston doesn’t have near the attendance issuses Dallas does. As someone said in an earlier post, most people in Dallas don’t even know they have a MLS club. Sorry to speak such ignorance about your club
Doubt it without Ferreira. So you’re the best team that NOBODY cares about. Where’s the fans?
I applaud the idea behind this video but when it comes out this lame it’s time to abort that baby.
Maybe one of the most simple-minded rivalry campaigns ever. Most people in the video were obviously NOT super passionate about their hate, or had little to support their argument. At times, the video was hard to watch.
I was at the game where the #Weallhatehouston banner was flown (against RBNY) and I can confidently say that everyone in our SOLD-OUT house either 1) didn’t see it 2) didn’t understand it was from FCD 3) Laughed off the notion that Dallas is a good place for any cognizant organism.
(Paraphrase) – “People in Houston are rude.” while holding a #WeallhateHouston banner!
To those who says Texas sucks, I don’t disagree. I’ve been living here for 18 years. but anyone who says Dallas is better than Houston is beyond mental.
Wait until we move into our stadium next year. Then you can say if you want 3/4 empty PHP.
Nice to see FC Dallas put all 7 of their fans in that video.
I would like to Redact any reference to Renee Zellweger as anything likening to hot.
I couldn’t watch the whole video, but I was impressed they were able to get 2009 Sacha Kljestan (at 1:21) to speak on their behalf.
A Mathematician in our midst.
Not gonna happen, He has a Gala Luncheon planned for that day.
They All hate Houston and They got ALL of their fans into one 3 minute video to tell us about it – not much of a trick really.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m embarrassed to have watched it.
ur life is pathetic bro… FCD is the western conference champs and is about to own Concacaf… FCD is a top 3 team in MLS… Houston 1836 is the sewer of MLS
i hate people who speak ignorance… Frisco is one of the nicest cities in the US… FCD has attendance problems sure, but so does Houston Dynamo…. FCD is just simply a better team than Houston, and will woop dat @SS no doubt when they meet
wow good one, atleast we dont play in a 90 year old college football stadium…. ill take PHP over Robertson any day… why dont you worry about ur own teams attendance bro… El Matador is in the Concacaf CL so thats alot better than what Houston is doing right now…. sucking it up big time in the basement of MLS
So what’s your point?

Nice work on the math, Adam.
Houston has titles, Dallas is playing better these days….. but Houston has titlesbut Houston has titlesbut Houston has titles but Houston has titles but Houston has titles but Houston has titlesbut Houston has titles but Houston has titles but Houston has titles BUT HOUSTON HAS TITLES BUT HOUSTON HAS TITLES.
LOL Houston has money for graphics while Dallas has money for….a placard that gets passed around to all 20 fans.
Way to half-a$$ it Dallas!
That video was atrocious!!! FCD front office should be embarrassed for releasing such crap.
About time someone realized that…
I played it safe. She was born in Houston, but was raised in WV. But there’s no question she is flaming hot in either place.
“you guys”…you do realize that by making such broad statements you only hurt your argument, don’t you?
I got your reference Mr. Madison!
Infinity times better! 2 vs 0
you forgot Jennifer Garner!
KC and Chicago? Where?

This is like two fat chicks arguing about who’s more attractive.
