Generation Orange

We go live Wednesdays at 7:30PM Central, and talk all things Houston professional soccer, including Houston Dynamo FC, Houston Dash, and more! We cover the latest news, rumors, while adding our own spin and flavor.

This week we talked Houston Dash hiring Juan Carlos Amoros as Head Coach, who comes from La Liga with Real Betis, and before that he coached 10 years with Tottenham Hotspur helping take the Spurs Women from amateur status to top tier. Sarah Lowdon will remain as his first assistant, and has said on social media she is excited to learn alongside Amoros.

We also talked about Houston Dynamo FC, and the rumors of Fafa's discontent with the direction of the team. What is the man mad about or upset with? We also discuss likely interim replacements for the wing, and who could we look at long-term. In addition, we talked the importance of the next four matches, and looked ahead to the debut of Hector Herrera on July 9th in Houston against FC Dallas for the Texas Derby. Hell of a way to debut!

World Cup and the immense moment awaiting the announcement of the World Cup 2026 US host cities, one of which is Houston. We reminisced about Copamericano, and how impressive those matches were to participate in.

Finally, we also shared we'll be doing a giveaway for some Houston Dynamo FC swag and merch once we hit 150 followers on Twitch or 150 followers on Youtube! To enter, just follow on either (or both) services!

Robb Zipp from The Most Epic Show joins Sean Ringrose to discuss the latest rumors, news, and notes from Houston Dynamo FC, Houston Dash, and Houston Dynamo II. So much was covered on the show, including our expectations around the looming debut of Hector Herrera, the impact real accountability for other players could have, how a role model who is actually talented can make a difference, the absolute insanely good run of form the Houston Dash are having, the quality of Rachel Daly's goal reminding us of Robin van Persie's goal some years ago, and a whole, whole lot more.

Mark is out this week, so Sean Ringrose called in the reinforcements to join him. Brent Meier, @brentmeier04 on Twitter, hopped into the co-host seat, and provided his thoughts and opinions on the Dash, the Dynamo, and Hector Herrera.

Sean also welcomed GoatedKnight, @Night77K on Twitter, as a special guest for the final segment of the show, and all three discussed the current state of Houston Dynamo, who they would look to move in the upcoming summer or winter transfer windows, and what formation changes they'd make with Hector Herrera beginning the process to integrate with the team.

The guys from Generation Orange bring you their latest episode where they talk about the Houston Dynamo loss versus FC Dallas in Frisco, Southern Oklahoma, in stoppage time.

Sean also welcomed Keeper Notes, aka Jen Cooper, of The Mixxed Zone women's soccer podcast onto the show to talk about the situation with James Clarkson being suspended indefinitely pending the conclusion of the ongoing investigation dealing with complaints of discrimination, harassment, and abuse. She also discussed the Houston Dash as they open their season May 1st here in Houston at PNC Stadium. 

Mark and Sean also discussed the infamous "Was it a goal?" social media post from Major League Soccer, and the lack of infrastructure to support the officials to get the call right on the pitch. They took to discussing the need for the players to provide more on the pitch, given the result in Frisco. 

They looked ahead to Broccoli FC, aka Austin FC's, trip to Houston to play in PNC Stadium on Saturday in what should be a highlight affair for both Texas clubs. Can the Dynamo take the much-needed 3 points, and put themselves back into the playoffs and Copa Tejas (MLS) picture?

Finally, they talked quickly about the opportunities for trades following the announcement by Atlanta United of 3 players befalling season ending injuries, and gave major props to the DynaDos team for continuing to remain winning in MLS Next Pro. DynaDos have yet to lose in MLS Next Pro, and on Saturday took down the second place team in their conference in North Texas SC. That's five straight matches for the DynaDos, and 15 points out of 15 to start their season.

The guys from Generation Orange bring you their latest episode where they talk about the Houston Dynamo win versus Rio Grande Valley Toros in Houston at PNC Stadium, as well as setup the Rivalry Week matches against FC Dallas in Frisco, Southern Oklahoma, and at home in Houston against Austin FC.

The guys give their predictions for the upcoming two rivalry week matches. Will the Dynamo take all 6 points, or will they struggle to find even a single point?  

Additionally, the guys welcome on Colin from Keeping Tabs Pod as a guest for the final 30 minutes of the show.

The guys from Generation Orange bring you their latest episode where they talk about the current Houston Dynamo four-match unbeaten streak. Topics covered included appreciation for the cultural shift under majority owner Ted Segal, the phenomenal work Paulo Nagamura has done as Head Coach, Sebastien Ferreira opening his account at home against San Jose with two goals, the Dynamo have a road win already in the season, Teenage Hadebe opening his account at home against San Jose, and the return of Tyler Pasher to the starting XI.

The guys give their predictions for the Portland Timbers match on Saturday, as well as their thoughts on the next three league matches including FC Dallas and Austin FC. Can the Dynamo take all 9 points in this pivotal 3 match stretch?

Additional topics were the US Open Cup match on Tuesday at home against little hermano RGV Toros, and the return of Wilmer Cabrera, Tyler Deric, and Juan David Cabezas to Houston and PNC Stadium for the Toros. Do RGV enact their revenge, or do the Dynamo prove they are truly the better team?

Houston Dynamo FC took on Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Saturday, and came away with all 3 points at home.

Can they repeat that performance against a much more defensively sound Colorado Rapids?

Can Darwin Quintero repeat his Team of the Week performance?

Can Coco Carasquilla continue to round into form as he did in week 4?

We also talked predictions and BOLD predictions for the match against Colorado Rapids in Houston at PNC Stadium.

Also we took some fan questions, including my personal favorite, "Which 3 Dynamo players would you want to join you in a bar fight?"  Dynamic Foxtrot joined us for a guest spot and share his thoughts as well.
