    What a amazing finish!!! I thought the Dynamo will get another blown lead wasted but they finally finish it off. Let's hope they can keep playing consistently and build a winning streak.

    I don't follow Mexican soccer, but if Monterrey is so good they don't need Ellis....Wow.

    I'm surprised that L.A. or the Miami expansion team are not his top options. Both are also warm-weather towns.

    Ellis came to us on loan from them and then we acquired him permanently this offseason for an unspecified figure.

    I agree. I want them to spend and I want them to get someone who is a draw. I don't want another Demarcus Beasley...a player that is clearly done and does little to ignite some excitement about the team.

    Did I mention that he is done as a player?

    I know...I guess I didn't understand the point you're trying to make. Are you saying Monterrey is dumb for having let him go or vice versa? I don't follow the Mexican league at all so I don't know if they're good or not. I do believe Elis will likely move on to Europe at some point in the next year.

    I would think almost any team could use him. 2 million (the figure I read) seemed cheap, Ellis is a stud by MLS standards.

    At least he's still somewhat productive. Anyone wanting Fernando Torres on the Dynamo hasn't watched the game for at least 5 years. That dude is finished. Plus, I'd go to watch Rooney if DCU were coming here this year (they're not). I wouldn't pay to see Torres.

    I would have locked up 2 years of season tickets if the Dynamo convinced Iniesta to come but who the hell am I kidding.

    Man he would've been perfect here, too. We haven't had even a remotely threatening center mid since Stuart Holden.

    The Dynamo goal sees more action in stoppage time than the complete filmography of Michael Bay.

    I play/played center defense. I would resign if I gave up as many last minute goals as the Dynamo have the past few seasons. Absolutely pathetic. On a set piece too. It's just a complete lack of heart and hustle.

    At least it's not on the level of 90s Oilers epic playoff failures but these lost/dropped points from the earlier road games this season is gonna cost them a playoff spot if they don't get some road wins. The Dynamo need 3 points on some road games, not just 1 point.
