Well, at least some new Mike Jones music came out this week. In spite of his oft-delayed second album, Adidas, MLS, and Jones teamed up to create an anthem for the Dynamo, entitled Houston Dynamo (Don't Play). The song is part of the "MLS Represent" album, which matches all 13 MLS teams with a local band or artist to create a fight song for the team. You can find the song here: you'll have to...

Actually this is event is a time to celebrate - even though the Dynamo lost a tough SuperLiga battle last night against CF Pachuca. The Dynamo are inviting you, the fans, to come celebrate this season’s achievements with them as part of their Summer Soccer Ball (haha…get it?). The party starts at 7pm tonight at Planeta Bar-Rio, where there will be drink specials (including orange margaritas!), door prizes (for the early party-goers), and a big...

Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth. But the smiles returned to Londonist's faces as they interviewed Baroness von Reichardt,...

The Dynamo continued their winning ways last night when they took on DC United at Robertson Stadium. While the Dynamo’s offense (and the fans) started off a little out of sorts, the defense remained strong throughout the game. DC continued to drive to the goal in the opening minutes, but Zach Wells remained poised in the box. In the 37th minute Sugarland’s own Stuart Holden had a very exciting shot on goal which just bounced...

As part of a way to get some international exposure (and perhaps credibility), the MLS has introduced the North American SuperLiga Tournament this year. This is a competition between 4 MLS teams and 4 teams in Mexico’s Primera División. The 4 MLS teams were selected by invitation this year, but in the future tournaments they will be selected based on the top 4 teams during regular season play. The Houston Dynamo, along with DC United...

If you are a fan of Dynamo soccer, July is going to be an exciting month. Coming off of an undefeated six game streak, the Dynamo are set to play 7 games this month (not including the MLS all star game). If that weren’t enough, the team’s lineup has changed slightly with 1) the recent return of Ching and De Rosario (among others) from international play, 2) the unknown fate of mid-fielder Brad Davis who...

Dynamo back-up goal keeper Zach Wells made an incredilbe P.K. save yesterday vs. Puntarenas FC, but it didn't serve well enough to make the win. The Dynamo was in Coasta Rica for the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup. By winning the 2006 MLS Cup, the Houston Dynamo secured one of two MLS spots representing the United States in the Champions Cup, the other being D.C. United. In addition, the Dynamo becomes the first...

You read it right: Houston's got a team headed to the World Series....of soccer, that is. And they're saying we might actually win. The Houston Dynamo, in their first season, scored three straight goals after falling behind early in the first half to overcome the Rapids and advance to the MLS Cup, the superbowl of Major League Soccer. They'll play the New England Revolution (who also played yesterday, beating DC United) in the MLS Cup final on Sunday at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco.
