It was a beautiful, crisp cool morning at Robertson Stadium today for the Dynamo season ticket holder event.
A great mix of fans were treated to up close and personal interaction between fans and players. Not to mention an exhibition game against Montreal.
Again, I marvel at the amazing mix of passionate fans representing all types of groups enjoying the soccer atmosphere with like minded individuals.
My thanks to all those that came up and introduced themselves to me. It is great to connect with such passionate fans.
I also must tell you it was great to be amongst you.
Ok, on to the game the Dynamo won 3-2 and Brian Ching scored twice including an outstanding header to add to a 9th minute goal from Chris Wondoloski.
Good to see the big man Ching hit hit the net a few times prior to the Tuesday match against Atlante.
Dynamo manager Dominic Kinnear used mixed lineups allowing a number of reserves to get significant minutes but also gave quality minutes to those regulars expected to get the majority of the playing time this Tuesday in Cancun.
An elbow throw by former Colorado Rapid Roberto Brown on Eric Ustruck emptied the benches.
Manager Dominic Kinnear and owner OSCAR DE LA HOYA addressed the crowd after the game.

Tonite you can catch ATLANTE against CRUZ AZUL of MEXICO at the Estadio Azul in Mexico City starting at 7pm…Meanwhile Liverpool suffered another set-back this weekend losing to Middlesbrough 2-0 at the Riverside in a match that also saw star midfielder Steven Gerrard go off due to injury. Middlesbrough got goals from Tuncay Sanli and Matthew Bates both in the second half.
Manager Rafa Benitez conceded the EPL title to Manchester United and his future remains up in the air at Liverpool. For Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate this will be one of the biggest victories as a manager as they look to survive the EPL.
What did you think of the Dynamo season ticket holder event?
A wind aided blast by Peter Byers in the final seconds from long range opened a few eyes……Former Dallas Burn goalkeeper Matt Jordan played for Montreal.

We had a GREAT time! Too bad for all those who could not get there! Just wish I had more fleece to keep warmer in.Very interesting to see so many faces that we did not know! I mourn the loss of the ” JV” Dynamos. That is a real loss to MLS and all of us. Thought it was interesing the mix of players throughout the “game”. The youngsters help up well to my untutored eye and really put their hearts into it. Time to start the season! Good Luck in Cacun, guys! Wish we were going!
Glenn, on a more USMNT type of note, Maurice Edu, formerly of Toronto FC, got a full start and played the entire match today with Rangers against Hamilton Academical, Rangers won 1-0. I was even happy to see Damarcus Beasley on the bench, I know he didn’t play, but he’s been watching the games from the stands for months now, hopefully starting in that exhibition back in early February against Beckham & AC Milan helped him, he played in another Rangers game last week, had a pretty good game with the US and now looks like he is regulary on the Fixture, love that, we can use him in good form heading into San Jose Costa Rica on June 4 I believe after we go to El Salvador & play Trinidad in Nashville.
Also what a turnaround for Michael Bradley, if only he could help Borussia Monchengladbach to avoid relegation, he scored again on a penalty kick in the 69th minute in a hard fought 1-2 loss to get this, Hertha Berlin the current Bundesliga leader also were US U-20 star Bryan Arguez plays!
Good day for some Americans abroad, other than that, hoping Toluca can come back vs Monterrey, they were down 2-0 at half time, now it’s 2-1, hey there’s nothing else on, so FMF it is!
