US Soccer, Houston Dynamo. Futbol is life.
Today a travel ban was announced by the Whitehouse of several countries, including World Cup qualified Iran.

How is this going to be handled?

@soccerwisehq.bsky.social In your last episode the signal levels between you and @cboehm.bsky.social are sooo far apart it is painful. One has to choose between not hearing Boehm, or having your voice boom at painful volume. Please consider working on leveling the signals in future podcasts.

Can we take a moment to recognize just how awesome were ALL FOUR CCC QF cup ties? Breathtaking stuff all around.

In LAFC v MIA last night, the center ref decision to tell VAR " Nah, Yellow is right" has restored my faith in humanity -- if just for a few minutes. That was the right decision. Served the game.

@tombogert.bsky.social Lingr has yet to be announced by the Houston Dynamo. Has that deal fallen through?
March 27, 2025 at 4:51 PM
From @MatteMoretto on tweeter: New Dynamo CB:

24 yo Columbian CB playing in Slovak Super league (4th place team DAC Dunajska Streda). Pablo Ortiz. Has played in about 1/2 of their matches this year. 6'3" 153 lbs.
"already has a verbal agreement."

Not the same level profile as HH. Lets hope he explodes with the Dynamo and is the level of player that makes everyone around him better. Like HH did. Nothing less is what the Dynamo need to compete in MLS circa 2025.
🟠🇨🇿 Sources: Houston Dynamo are finalizing a deal to sign Czech int'l attacking midfielder Ondrej Lingr from Slavia Prague. inFotbal 1st.

Lingr, 26, will join in a deal worth around $2.6m and will be a DP.

Some tweeter is claiming @houstondynamo.com want to sign Ondřej Lingr of Slavia Prague, a 26yo ACM. 18 appearances with the Chech National Team since 2021.

No source even described. No idea if this is vapor, real, or in between.

Welcome Duane -- and speedy recovery for your leg.

Bit weird this announcement has no mention of press reports that he suffered a fractured fibula a month ago expected to be out for multiple months. Seems like something that should be openly addressed.
Coming from across the pond ✈️

Welcome to Houston, Duane!

The twitter account for Preston North End of the English Championship is reporting that their midfielder Duane Holmes is in Houston completing a transfer to the Dynamo. Seems he suffered fractured fibula a month ago so will take a while to get fit. Several English outlets reporting this.

One cannot overstate the importance of this deal in establishing a sustainable club producing GAM through player development.

THIS is the way.

Next big step?? Get McGlynn to Europe.

Mikey Halliday deal is announced. Dynamo give up a draft pick and sell-on %. Interesting, Lodeiro deal not mentioned. Could there be a snag?
February 18, 2025 at 3:45 PM
This suggests to me that all of the Dynamo targets for a DP#10 have fallen through and team needed depth at the advanced CM spots. Would love to be wrong and see the Dynamo land the #10 for which they have been hunting. Better hunting in Summer window.

Sounds like some real profit for the Dynamo. While a short-term loss, long-term the team will need to make these moves if it wants to stay competitive with other teams.

Good luck Mica! Forever Orange.

I assume the Dynamo will play 2d and 3d string players. This is a Wed between weekend league matches.

Not sure I see how this makes any meaningful history. Guess it is a first ...
Continuing to make history in Season 20 🙌

We will host our first official match against a national team on March 19 against El Salvador 🇸🇻
