Wager $2 on that, and you'd walk away with about $400,000 if it happened.Originally Posted by Graeme

Bendik, Hagglund, Orr, Henry, Morrow, Osorio, Warner, Bradley, Lovitz, Gilberto, Defoe
2-1 for us.
Going to be a lot tougher then last Saturday.
Hagglund pretty much indicated he starts on the right again with a note about trying to do his best Bloom impersonation - hopefully he doesn't give Davis enough room to score twice like last week.
Feeling a little uneasy this morning. Like with all the football played and to be played that Defoe is due for a tweak.
Hopefully my ability to predict that is as good as my ability to predict gains in my stocks.
^Dude. I just read that in the voice of Droopy the Dog. I hope we're surprised by Hagglund and co. and your stocks go through the roof.

LOL, while I haven't been dwelling on injury risk to the TFC golden boot candidate I do think this game sets up well for Houston after getting embarrassed by TFC coughing up the 2 go lead and getting a rest while TFC battled mid- week. It will be a big boost if TFC can put down a team that most likely feels like they need to treat this game like a cup final.
Despite all the things that could be construed as going against us for this game (the heat, Injuries etc.), this is far and away the worst backline in the league we're facing. JD will score at least one and Bradley and Warner will hold down the middle. I think it's pretty damn likely we get a result from this one.
2-2.
Lets have some luck and we score on our opportunities and win easy for a change....

A road win could really hit the spot right now. The Dynamo have only won 4 games out of 9 played at home this year, which is something to consider.

Anyone gathering to watch anywhere?
A must win for us like all other must win games.
I cant remember last time tfc got a point in houston, let alone a win

we haven't lost in Houston since 2011.
uh huh....
A hope for a draw! Yay!

LOL!
uh huh....
Lmao what the hell??? At least TRY to make it believable... I would be pissed if I was expedia.
uh huh....
I think the person who does these reads the board and is just trolling you guys.
Few of the kings are getting together at wheat sheaf. Welcome to join as I imagine getting to joes will be tough with Indy going on.
Temperature at kickoff: 29 C and humid. Houston had no midweek game. They are 4-3-2 at home.
We haven't won a game with Bradley since April 5th at Columbus. Since he left for the WC we are undefeated in games without him with 4 wins and 3 draws.
If we're not going to start Gilberto might as well cut him now. He's not going to regain form coming off the bench at the 75 min mark.
+1, great post. I'd keep expectations low today. Although in the case of Bradley I'd argue correlation and causation are very different.
I get the feeling that Houston wants some payback for an embarrassing last weekend. Our backline is injured and theirs is getting Corey Ashe back. Not to mention the Houston Home Crowd and I'm expecting a 2-1 TFC loss, with Gilberto and Defoe arguing on the pitch. I do not feel good about this game.
really? I feel the exact opposite. Play our best lineup and and we win... I like Oduro more then Jackson btw and he should start regardless of the injury... If DeRo were to actually start over Oduro then wow just wow I may turn the game off... let's see what Odudro can do... AND CAN WE FINALLY SEE A GAME WITH ALL 3 DP'S STARTING... Gilberto better start... He's clearly match fit.
--Gilberto - Defoe
------ Bradley
Oduro ------ Osorio
------warner---------
Morrow - Haglund - Henry - Orr
agree 100% ... he/she is sitting in their chair laughing at u guys every week. Come'on ... its been laughable wrong for 18 straight weeks ... why even post it
Don't think we're going to win this one. They have all their starters and are at home. Think 2-0 for the bad guys.
Eyeballs....
