The World Cup is a chance to showcase the domestic product to a global audience and catapult MLS to the next level ⚽
For Houston, the opportunity is turning hardcore fans, casual fans and families into long-term customers.

Ben Olsen on the Griffin Dorsey trade, “I had a vote, you win some you lose some.”
Says right now they don’t have a like for like replacement right now but they have guys that give them a different profile in that role.
I asked @HoustonDynamo owner Ted Segal about the club’s decision to cut ties with longtime broadcaster, arguably Houston’s most influential soccer figure and advocate, @GlennDavisSoc.
For those interested, here’s the video:
@GlennDavisSoc Any positive momentum that #Guilherme gave @HoustonDynamo over the weekend gets wiped out by this trade - going into a new season
Hard to support THIS franchise when EVERY OTHER SPORTS FRANCHISE IN #HOUSTON is a championship contender
Yet the #Dynamo choose to be cheapskates…
Any positive momentum that #Guilherme gave @HoustonDynamo over the weekend gets immediately wiped out by this trade of a fan favorite that also opens up new questions at right wing back heading into a new season
Who needs positive momentum anyways 🙄

🟣 BREAKING: Orlando City has acquired wingback Griffin Dorsey from Houston Dynamo, per sources.
Trade worth $1m GAM + add ons.
Dorsey, 26, had been Houston’s starter for better part of five seasons. Entering last year of contract.
Becomes starter for Orlando at RB.
Glenn Davis levied plenty of criticism toward @HoustonDynamo in our chat.
Says current ownership lacks the "vision, soccer passion, and inspiration,” needed to turn the Dynamo around. He also blasted the “investor-type owners” who run the Dynamo, revealing a troubling blueprint.
“You buy 'em, you occupy em, you wait for appreciation to occur for four, five, however many years. Then you sell it, and walk away making money."

It is NOT OK to LIE to your supporters for PR spin, @HoustonDynamo.
This split is about a leadership team that isn’t MATURE enough to handle constructive criticism and use the feedback to improve the product.
Change is needed in #Houston

“The [@HoustonDynamo] told @Chron the parting with [@GlennDavisSoc] was "amicable," adding it came via a "mutual parting of ways."

This is a hard story to be public. HOU is best when we can speak with love, honesty, and collective ambition, don’t get sideways with each other ❤️
Generally, it’s crushing when good-hearted helpers aren’t respected, heard as intended. This isn’t good for anyone, just hurts 😭
A reminder that former @HoustonDynamo defender Eddie Robinson was let go as the team’s commentator one day before the start of the 2023 season.
Whatever the reason, that’s the way the club chose to part ways with one of its Legends and a member of the 2006 & 2007 MLS Cup champs.
@Trent_Tiger1@DynamicFoxtrot@HoustonDynamo But speaking for MLS Cup, you’re fine with celebrating two trophies 15 years ago?
Even Jim Crane has his own financial constraints to deal with, then finds a way to steal Tatsuya Imai from every other contending big market
We need ownership that’s committed to excellence
@HoustonDynamo@GlennDavisSoc@mshap2@chron@HoustonChron Class 👏👏👏
We all love the beautiful game. This city has a deep passion for it, as evidenced by countless instances in the past.
We simply want a top-tier football organization that represents #Houston to the fullest extent, realizing its full market potential.
#HoldItDown
I want to make something clear here.
Pat Onstad stood up for me and showed respect and class for the situation.
I will clear this up on Thursday Soccer Matters @espn975@DaspitLawFirm 6ct.
New @chron:
The @HoustonDynamo opted to not renew the contract of longtime announcer @GlennDavisSoc for 2026.
Why?
Davis says club leadership was “intimidated by my criticism.” Voice of Houston soccer since 2006 is now without an MLS home.
