its not really a big deal but it seems weird that fox has the current dynamo local tv commentator and a former dynamo player who is a Houston fan calling the dynamo vs portland match

Correct call, I think. So many more PKs would be awarded if that was a bad tackle.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
Blehhhhst, part 2.

Houston's strategy of "let our pitch injure as many Timbers as possible so maybe we can win away" seems as unlikely to succeed as Robbo's plan against Seattle.

I know you're being cheeky, but since it's getting so much press right now, I'd like to see Dynamo's injury rate at home vs other teams at home, especially those who use Field Turf. I'll bet we're middle of the pack.

It would be nice to have a home playoff game on a weekend at some point. Also, if we do manage to get past Portland, our next (and final) home playoff game? Tuesday, November 21st :|

Eh, I was going to say some stuff, but the fact of the matter is that it's all anecdotal. I don't even know how one could easily gather evidence on this. The only recent injury on the field I can think of that was 100% not caused by player-to-player contact was AJ's acl injury. Injury stats I'm seeing don't specify contact.

Because, hell, if I'm wrong and our field is unsafe then I want a better field too!

How about wanting a new field cause the current one looks like trash?

I couldn't give a gently caress how a pitch looks*, just how it plays.



* - I reserve the right to mock football lines at the Clink.

The best part about the lines on the field in Seattle are the people who only watch the Seahawks bitching about the lines

They would've gotten one, but he's only played a scant 149 games for the Crew. Hardly any opportunity.
