After getting your fill of European soccer today, tonight features the official start of the new year for MLS (unless you really want to count the Pan Pacific Championship). The Houston Dynamo begins its knockout round match-up against Atlante in the CONCACAF Champions League.
If you will be watching tonight's match (10pm, Fox Soccer Channel) please feel free to share your thoughts, opinions and some play-by-play in the comments section below.
Enjoy the action.






Dynamo need to do the MLS proud tonight. The match in the 13th minute still hasn’t settled down. ALot of over the top nothing.
Anyone have a link to the match where I can watch over the web?
what channel?
DeliBelly download tvuplayer and it will have fsc on it last I knew it was called “soccer” by the way Houston just scored on a corner
GOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLL Boswell 34′
Bobby Boswell planted header in the 35th minute.
Dynamo 1-0

Dynamo are looking good.

Kamara off the post Dynamo corner.39th
I gotta hand it to Houston, I always rely on them to get me ready and into another MLS season.
Halftime with the Dynamo up 1-0 on a Bobby Boswell goal
too bad. win 3-0 and maybe atlante says screw it for the return leg. go there with only a small lead after wasting chances, and they will feel lucky to still be in it.
oops didn’t see others had already posted the score. silly computer
hey ives, i know it has nothing to do with the article, but why does soccer never have matches at the new orleans super dome? it would be a great ambience, i know there is not a great soccer tradition in the are but it was just a thought
why do mexican keepers always look like such tools?
Good half from the Dynamo. A little bit of a slow start but that’s to be expected. I think that James and Boswell have been solid in the back. I think Kamara is having a great game thus far. I’m really excited to see what he does this season. DALE DYNAMO!
Wade Barret looks awful tonight. Other than that, solid half.
Yeah Wade has not looked good. You’ve gotta expect more out of the skipper
Kamara is a beast! I think that he will dominate the MLS this year, he has looked really impressive on the ball, getting open, and in the air.
I agree that Barrett has been awful tonight. I am still yelling at Ricardo Clark for that horrible loss of possession 30 yards from goal. It is a good thing that he got it back. Mistakes like that causes so many gray hairs. Lol
47th minute- Kei Kamara gets a cross in but it’s headed out for a throw in
Apparently Mullan took an elbow. Looked soft, I dunno, wasn’t called
52nd minute- Rough challenge on Ricardo Clark’s foot leaves him down for a little while
56th minute- Yellow card to Kamara for a challenge
58th minute- First Atlante corner. Onstad punches it away…gets back in and headed over the crossbar
60th minute- Good ball by Holden but called offsides even though it was onsides.
Then a ball from Atlante called offsides when it was onsides
63rd/64th minute- Brad Davis pushes an Atlante player down and gets a yellow. Decent location for the free kick….and it’s a dribbler
68th minute- Timewasting yellow card for Mulrooney on a throw in
71st minute- Mullan plays it to Kamara. He gets fouled in a good position
72nd minute- Davis’s free kick comes to nothing
This ref whistles everything.
We need him to come to Toyota Park and team him up with Blanco. Fire will win 17-0
77th minute- Mullan comes off, Geoff Cameron comes on
79th minute- Atlante players lofts a weak shot from way outside
81st minute- Cameron gets a yellow card for putting his body in the way of an Atlante player getting by him
Damn… That sucks…
arrrrgh!
82nd minute- Atlante corner…Navarro plays it back towards the face of the goal…little scramble…Pereyra knocks it in for an ATLANTE GOAL
boo
Onstad is such an old man……
good spot for a kick… holden?
85th minute- Brad Davis free kick….left kick and bends not too far wide
what did atlante score?
corner!
88th minute- Davis corner comes to nothing
yes,atlante scored, kind of a blooper of a goal…
o nvm the gamecast is slow how did it go in?
what was that yellow for? some shoving going on…
89th minute- Yellow card to some Atlante guy with a headback for what looked like a kick on a shin. Both teams start shoving each other
Actually, the yellow card was to Venegas, who does not sport a headband
well my prediction was 3-1 houston
houston, free kick 35 yards, ohhhhhhh, so close!
90th minute- Davis’s free kick is headed and it forces the Atlante goalkeeper to tip it over the bar. He is assisted by the tattoos covering his arms
corner houston
91st minute- Cameron forces a corner. Taken…Atlante keeper didn’t hold on to it but Ricard Clark jumped on him
a traditional way of saying good game by both teams lol.
wow….so close…
Final whistle
i haven’t watched the whole match, but from what i’ve seen houston’s the better team, despite the score.
that’s game 1-1.
I hoipe houston wwins in cancun. shouldnt be much of a flight and no altitdude worries.
Sure makes it for an interesting game in Cancun. Dynamo go down there knowing that they have to get that away goal and more to move on. It was a strong showing from the boys and I hope they can do it up in Cancun.
overall a bad game Dinamo is not as sharp as it use to be.anyway if you are a coach try this new wedsite that just came out thise week Thesoccercoachenet.com is only for coaches
DEUCE!
Cesar Barrientos,
I don’t know what a wedsite is? I site for people to be wed?
Don’t spam. Put your link in your name like others do. I click on everyone’s link that is in their name but i didn’t go to your wedsite because i’m not getting married.
well to bad houston is done. no way they come out w/ a win in mexico. as a mls fan i’m dissapointed , but as a quakes fan i’m loving the fact that houston are not going to be that great this year. and their going into the season w/ kamara as a starter w/ no depth at forward? hahahahaha.
They dont need to win in Mexico. They need to either draw 1-1 to tie on away goals, or draw by more than that (ie 2-2) or win to advance outright.
So basically they need to score at least a goal. However, they scored 2 at Pachuca two years ago and 4 last fall at UNAM so Houston can get it done in Cancun (no altitude almost exactly the same weather as Houston).
just watched the houston game replay on FSC. it makes our own CL look extremely credible when the patches constantly fall off the players’ shoulders.
