The Houston Dynamo Sentinel

A knee injury of the worst kind for Uzochukwu Ezeobi
63 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Houston Dynamo lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Both of them Grzegorz Piszczek's — 8.89
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.89, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

George Reyna breaks a bone — 46 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 46 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Antonino Caggiano: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Houston Dynamo have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Tempers go at Houston Dynamo
John Pulskamp was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Match14 Jun 2042
Nobody could stop scoring
8 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Houston Dynamo and Minnesota United FC in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Grzegorz Piszczek rescues a point for Houston Dynamo
It needed Grzegorz Piszczek to find the net to bring anything home at all: 4‑4 against Minnesota United FC, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
Market16 Jun 2042
Houston Dynamo buy the years ahead of Luca Wright
He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

The pass was always on for Victor Lima
Chances created: 8. Somebody has to open a door before anybody can walk through it, and he spent the afternoon opening doors.
In brief
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Idan Toklomati
- Market The clock does Uzochukwu Ezeobi’s negotiating for him
- Market Jude Enow Enow leaves for nothing
