Welcome to the Bayou City Soccer Podcast! In this episode, Cristian breaks down the season finale for the Houston Dynamo — a dull, scoreless draw against Sporting KC that felt like a fitting end to a frustrating season. He offers his honest review of the 2025 campaign, a year marked by disappointment for the club.
From key departures and a lack of impactful signings to a season plagued by injuries and absences, the Dynamo were constantly playing catch-up. Cristian also dives into a bigger question: does Houston lack a unified soccer culture when it comes to supporting the Dynamo? And is the club doing enough on the marketing front to truly engage the city?
Finally, Cristian gets personal, sharing why soccer is more than just a game for him — it's a deeper, emotional connection.

Houston has effectively put itself in a must-win situation down the stretch, making every point critical as the playoff race tightens.
And finally, is the Houston Dash up for sale? It certainly appears that way. A recent report from Sportico reveals that owner Ted Segal is in talks with a Chinese investor about a potential deal — one that would require approval from the NWSL. Regardless of the outcome, early indications suggest the club will remain in Houston.

We can’t wait to share this season with you and keep you connected to the action on and off the field.

Welcome to the Bayou City Soccer Podcast! In this episode, the guys break down a rough night in Tennessee, where the Houston Dynamo collapsed early against Nashville SC. A goal conceded in the very first minute, followed by a red card in the 9th, set the tone—and effectively sealed the match—for Ben Olsen’s squad. Despite a brilliant first-half equalizer from Junior Urso, the Dynamo couldn’t keep it together, eventually falling 3-1 in a match they simply had to win. The loss stings, but somehow, Houston remains just two points below the playoff line, with six points still up for grabs. That said, with an uphill battle ahead—and a must-win clash against San Diego FC looming—it’s starting to feel like the season is slipping away.
