Houston Dynamo set to SWEEP LAFC?? MLS MATCHDAY 31 PREDICTIONS

the match previews for this week for Match Day 31 it's six games altogether being played out due to the international break right so every team who's playing this weekend is just kind of making up a game somewhere or another um to kind of catch up with the teams who have played a full schedule up to this point um so MLS hey at least they're recognizing the international break now that's kind of cool I remember a time when that wasn't the case so um let's go into today we are previewing three matchups okay so three we picked three of the six that I think are juicy enough they have playoff implications both teams um need a win for for one reason or another so let's go and Jump Right In we have first up Columbus hosting Seattle yep how you feel how you feeling cheyan I don't need to speak not good come on man in Columbus you guys love Ohio you love Columbus you got Thea right behind you let's let's pass let's pass this on to Honda and see what he has to say what you don't want to glaze wolfred nzi I do want to glaz glaze wolfred nzi but that doesn't seem right I don't know I don't think we're gonna win this like I don't I don't know what to tell you guys like you're in eighth place right now could you not steal a crucial Point against Columbus if they rotate hated their squad yes it would be the most is there any Columbus Crew players that are getting called up that's a great question uh did cooo get called think he got called up I think he got called up I think someone said he got called to Colombia he did yeah did all right then there's hope there's a CHR who also looks very revitalized under Nazi but he's still not COO so it's a w in my opinion yeah that's true yeah um I don't know who else but they they're look they're missing some players so if it's ay shy oh that's right but anymore what yeah it's the it's the they start someone else now in goal right well hogin was starting because schy was in the Olympics yeah I know but Hogan's looking legit though I mean the d The Dude won people's hearts from the Gold Cup with playing with uh with Guatemala but yes you got a point there he's a very good player yeah but you're not g to start him over Patrick schy like you're just not well if Shy's not playing then is he getting called up to the Guatemala national team oh you know what they do I think they're supposed to be playing urai there you go there you go I mean I don't know man it's there's a chance to me I'm not saying that wford Nazi can switch things up but I just feel like Schult is the the starter but anyway we digress so if they have a weakened side I'm sure n will still have the lads up to this game but could you not steal a point and if so how I don't know how if so how what has to go well for Seattle in order for that to happen who has to play well uh well I mean we already know the lineup like yeah true it's like oh it pains me and I talked to Brian about this this weekend like I was like why don't we rotate the team and then he just walked away yeah I was I was gonna ask you if you talked to Brian this weekend how did that go because I know like the I know he's not necessarily the biggest fan of R green TV but he does watch the content yeah I know he he was funny I I he was walking on the bus I was like hey uh hey Brian so like what do you think of the game why isn't Georgie starting more he walked on the bus and my friend was like yeah he ain't coming back I was like trust me give him like a couple minutes he'll come back came back out walked straight up to me and was like I know what you're trying to do I was like what and then he's like George you will get lots of minutes um he's a talented player and you'll get more minutes till the end of the season I was like okay but like why do we keep starting the same team over and over again in some games that obviously won't work and then he just walked away I was like okay good talk I like how he came back though that's that's hilarious like I'm not g to give this [ __ ] R green TV guy the the satisfaction I will come back to answer about yeah I mean look but I mean I I was gonna say like if if we rotated the team a little bit like honestly maybe start ruie Diaz um maybe start Georgie uh I don't know but those are the only two real big changes you can make yeah I mean yeah just do you guys think Columbus is gonna drop points against us let's all be honest here can I think they could 100% um they done it already hear let's hear it Hector uh I have not said anything but I mean schy I think schy is a big loss um obviously coo big loss huge loss um but honestly I don't even is like we need to confirm this is Guatemala playing I have no idea does Guatemala have a friendly this Hogan is is pretty good I am gonna give H Hogan Hogan his flowers on that one here you go one sec I'll look but still I mean because of because of one keeper that changes like whether or not we feel like Columbus Crew has OPP they play they play Martinique on the fifth so yeah he might be gone Martinique and they got Costa Rica on Monday yeah so and and hogins their starting goalkeeper so you you got you're out to goalkeepers now a fresh keeper from the academy you know the jitters playing Seattle all right [ __ ] it let's go it draw one1 draw one draw you know the the last time Seattle was in Columbus you guys got I know we won yeah two 90th minute goals I remember that game back in 2021 yeah the first ever game at lower.com stadium but times are a lot more different from back then but I will say this just like back then they're missing dude their most informed player at this very moment the one who seems to be carrying the entire attack I just said one one one's okay yeah one one's fair I'm just letting you know like like you it sounds like maybe you genuinely think Seattle could win this game I bro honestly I've been proven by Wrong by MLS so many times that I now just say anything could literally happen and I use literally not figuratively but actually literally like anything can happen this is how this league worked I'm going 21 I turned 30 that day bro it was literally my birthday em cup like because em cup usually Falls around my birthday we were celebrating my birthday watching the Columbus Crew Seattle sers game damn it was yeah it was crazy it's a sign that we're going to draw one one it'll be a sign if Hector also picks draw from 30 from you know what 30 three- Z Columbus that's crazy that's crazy I'm I'm also going to say one one I think uh I think dude Jose's copying me I'm not I I think that there's a legit shot bro I I I'm the one who ask you the question I'm just joking I really I really think that Seattle could do this man I do he may not be copying you but I am as sh knows let's go one well we're all going one that's great let's hear it actor one1 I'm gonna say one nil Seattle one seatt and win no Columbus that is crazy you heard it and win the entire show is backing Seattle to beat Columbus in this is gonna pan out so well or so bad yeah we'll see bro you know what Jose play the clip fight and win there you have it the fight and win clip all right uh we we'll move into our our next match up the next two of the three um the reverse fixture Houston plays host to lafc um interestingly enough this will be again on the back of Houston walking in uh to La getting that two-nil dub but man does this lightning strike twice yeah well not say lightning strike twice I think you know that's that's a little bit harsh lightning strike twice on the [Laughter] badge all right before we get to this game I just want to once again point out how how terrible MLS handled that the hurricane Barrel situation Fair um because they you know everyone tried to blame the Houston Dynamo for oh they they kept trying to have the game no MLS was trying to keep having the game did they really blame the Dynamo there was fans that were like oh this is just a boneheaded Dynamo just wanting money and I'm like from what the to the Dynamo it's not even up to the team it's always up to the league yeah so yeah bad luck on MLS uh if you anybody could tell you hurricane bad bad bad so imagine it's Garber just like planting the rumors so that way that he can like you know uh not have to deal with the criticism but anyway I dig go on uh but aside from that yes dynamore playing back to pack this the makeup game from the hurricane Barrel incident so I think with this game I think bro it'd be crazy and I think there's gonna be like like so much like cherundolo haterade flowing on the timeline but I think I think Houston sweeps I think it's going to be a one-nil Houston um if they can't if they can't have their press cause problems in their own stadium I don't know how it's going to happen on the how they expect to happen on the road um to me it's lfc's energy combined with their star power that gives them an edge over most teams if their energy can't get the job done then those egos those inflated egos they have in that locker room I think will start to capitulate a little bit um there's gonna be a lot of pressure on LFC to turn that fixture around to turn the the 2 around and remind teams why they're so damn good in this league for that reason I'm picking Houston I think it's gonna be one n I'm going one one again listen I'm gonna bring up that Bernie Sanders meme I am once again asking you to be stop because you know why he's saying that because LA Galaxy could not take the [ __ ] gift that was given to them to take to to just take first outright and H now he's asking Houston to do it again do it again so we can remain in first place in the the hustle hey man you know what there's nothing wrong with having just a good rival and and just not liking that person for no for no apparent reason I mean Fair bro but like if if honestly bro it was like I think before this this past weekend's game if lafc went all the games in hand they were GNA be top of the West when it was all said and done and then Houston pull off the upset but somehow LA Galaxy dropped to the 13 tactical they want to keep it intense for El traffico fam they want to keep it neck and neck it's a marketing Ploy yeah fair fair so so Honda you backing Houston again yeah I'm back in Houston again probably this time hopefully guys give me a CLE I I need a clean sweep for Houston bro I need a clean sweep I said one one I'm not changing it do you really need a clean sweep from Houston because I think I think playoff positioning wise I think I mean to be fair I'm not even worried about about Houston in my mind Houston makes playoffs I'm trying to to take to overtake Austin Austin's the closest one to us Fair Point uh yeah man this uh this is an interesting thing because the Dynamo have kind of had a lot of struggles at home um so I think that it is going to be a very close one because of it I am interested to see how lafc will keep pressing especially in that in the in that Houston humidity um I mean like I said I was impressed they were able to maintain the press as like they did uh in in La so I can only I just can't I'm just interested to how they're going to do it in Houston um but yeah I think that that's going to be a different approach I wonder who's going to be rotated into this squad are we gonna see jerud start um there's a lot of things that are going to be interesting in this but it's going to be once again a very close very physical matchup which I mean physicality seems to to Bow well for the Houston Dynamo lately um so yeah I I I'm with I'm with Honda one nil Victory um and I would love to see Pony scor the goal but I think it's going to be one of those where Arthur finally makes an outside the outside the box shot he's kind of overdue for one he's he's kind of overdue at this he tried he tried he tried last time he tried yeah he's kind of overdue for one all right we got three Houston dubs and a draw more importantly no one backing lafc if they drop back-to-back games to Houston going into eltr where's her to back's boys bro where's her back's boys this is team that's crazy bro yeah Edan needs to find a way to to to give me the lafc justification of the week I don't know we'll see and then finally um my team uh the team who's also kind of outside the playoff window looking in um Vancouver gonna be hosting us uh up in BC plays gonna be honestly a top he Dallas are cooked I don't think I don't think we're cooked I think it could be a draw um last time we were there we drew 1-1 and we only Drew 1-1 thanks to [ __ ] Paul arola bro last season the only real goal he had all year was putting one in the back of Aron net at Vancouver so he Dallas is cooked uh he's played better this season thankfully um but it's gonna be tough man all time clip of Paul and a Jesus bro um all right Dallas is cooked if Vancouver I I'll agree with shiao Yan if Vancouver scores in the first 10 minutes of this game we're done they cooked done like like we need we need to withstand what G and white and that attack are going to do with the Caps if we cannot bro this is gonna be a long [ __ ] day well paus is cooked low key this could be a very high-scoring game it has that potential because Dallas's defense is [ __ ] and Musa now has Velasco and fera back so this could Vancouver 42 Vancouver six goal shootout that'd be interesting it's not a crazy shout I'm gonna say three three draw three three 3 three how you guys feeling about this one Honda I don't think I can back your boys this time Jose as much as I love you know what bro honestly every time you backed them like outside like once or twice they've lost anyway so I'm cool with that so give you the to give you the win this week I'll say Vancouver 3-1 my man by man 3-1 okay Hector see I need Vancouver to lose so oh a little g go the reverse Jinx route or which way you going here hey I actually have been honest with FC Dallas and I have actually a a matter of fact I rooted for them to have their first road win so just remember that that's true that's true he did look it's not Austin FC so I mean it's it's fine it's it's actually like annoying Big Brother heor you know he coined the term Shia Yan know I gotta accept that I guess I am a [Laughter] fraud fair play fair play game is game yeah should never should never use that hashtag um but yeah dude BC Place is such a hard place to play in I think just in general um I'm gonna say yeah so empty but also so blind makes it so difficult it's unnecessarily huge yeah but I'm gonna say uh I'm gonna give it a two two draw yeah I I honestly 3 three might be overshooting it that's probably going being closer to 22 I just don't see how we win like if they win Dallas will surprise the [ __ ] out of me as they did you know in DC which DC's a worse team than Vancouver so it it surprised me a little bit but then if if we do win all this we're going to turn around and find a way to [ __ ] the beted at home again so I don't know what's going to happen we'll find out but I'm I'm will to bet it's a high-scoring draw so D people losing hope in their teams man like I'm just here like I I don't I'm not hope my team I lose hope in one aspect of this team losing Hope on on our teams when you're the one wanting my team to beat your rival true true but you're but you're but you're back in the team for a result um no man I I just think Dallas's defense is [ __ ] uh the team itself could be really good uh but unfortunately like we just don't have the players in the back line for that to be the case it's kind of like how shyon ceases attack with with the Sounders you know it's just like you know it's it's tough it's tough out here there's nothing more we could do we're just ready for the transfer window to get here so that we can try and make a move put the Sounders defense and the FC Dallas attack does that make make a a strong that's a nasty ass team right there it's actually not a bad team not a bad team imagine I would give my left Bullock to have Musa as my Striker imagine though the opposite team right Dallas's defense with Seattle's offense oh no San Jose that's might as well just call the San Jose Earth 2016 Houston Dynamo was a oh God that's crazy bro uh San Jose catching Strays out of nowhere that I've been [ __ ] playing this week all right um let's move to our final quick fire predictions there's only three matchups and then we'll get out of here uh New England hosting St Louis St Louis New England hey Bobby Wood's backou Bobby wood St Louis St Louis but the T crate T crate I'm gonna go with the draw I think it's gon be a cheeky draw same same draw draw draw all right we'll see if we'll actually see if shaan knows them with this one um Red Bulls hosting Kansas City Red Bull bounce back they need to bounce back I back the Red Bulls in this one they lose to Kansas City man chock the league CH the season you mean newly Triple C qualified Sporting Kansas City sell the team hey I know sh hates that one bro they're in though they're in they're in they made it [ __ ] man um and then finally Chicago hosting DC DC bro give me the fire in this one man you Chicago Chicago with the cheeky 21 win DC with the bente 10 in Slam [Laughter] Dunk I could have swore you've used 10 incher for like every forward that you rate on this no no no it's only for yakum makus and yakum makus is left so there has to be someone to take that mantle that's true all right fair so B that's your guy not he's not my guy but he does got a 10 intro let's be honest cuz you you were standing for yakum Maki hard as hell bro hard I love that guy bro so yeah wait how how you do this past weekend they they clapped him hard I'm saying it's say yakum makus effect Henry M them down down bad I love to see it I can't lie um okay so more flexing from Martin until he scores again yeah uh hey it's still one of the top scorers in the league his team is just not performing so you know kudos to Martin I guess so all have Chicago then minus I got a I got a draw yeah I got a draw too bro it's a high scoring draw but a draw see that that's my draw the line if you're G pick a draw like be realistic right it's probably be like a like a nil nil or a 1-1 bro DC score goals they just don't know how to [ __ ] not receive them I I don't I don't know why I just don't buy it for this game I really don't I just I feel like I don't know Chicago's are kind of going through the seasonal change weatherwise I mean dude guti just comes out of nowhere man guti come out of nowhere dude guti's got Hector choked up obviously apparently yeah you he's literally cheering on Chicago Fire players at this at this moment in time we're we're all a little bit down Bad Boys um Chicago choke job is what I'm saying that was great that was a great way to spin that off I like that I like that um but yeah look guys that's that is Match Day 31 in a nutshell um if you haven't done so already like the video
