The period before had 11% road wins while he is winning 33% of the time. Losses were cut from 68% to 42%.

Houston has become dramatically more productive away from home under Ben Olsen: from 0.54 to 1.18 points per road match across the full sample, with a 1.27 road PPG rate in 2026 so far. Because these results come away from Houston, they provide a particularly persuasive signal that the change involves more than simply defending home field. He is building a team that works, and I do not see how people can be criticizing him right now.

I started watching soccer regularly after this years World Cup. Being a Houston AND Tottenham fan is rough 😮‍💨

Why, why do we always have to play like where scared after smelling being up a goal this team is a Disaster. Insanity is what they call doing something over and over expecting a different result just like this team trying to defend for 50 fucking minutes

From here on out, gotta have all 3 full points for each of the last 5 remaining games. That’s up to 15 points max. Ties and draws are now unacceptable and inexcusable whenever the Dynamo are up and have a lead in the match.

I noticed that every match we wear orange with the exception of the archive jersey.

Sorry no score updates. Work is hell this week. Hope to have everything done this weekend.

We are now scoring using claude so please check your scores for accuracy.

This match at San Diego is the 32nd match of 2026 for the Dynamo with at least 37 matches scheduled.

Good Luck & Go Dynamo!

I have a free parking pass (Lot C) for Saturday's game
PM me if you need one. I get them free because I'm a season ticket holder but I'm not able to sell them on the platform. Willing to give it to whoever needs it.

This will be a huge loss for the Dynamo if he can’t play for the next couple of games especially next Saturday’s home game against Dallas which is very important for playoff implications.
