During a U.S. Open Cup match on July 17, Robinson would pick up his first career red card after his elbow made contact with Andrew Gregor's jaw. The Earthquakes would go on to defeat the Seattle Sounders 4–3 in extra time.[6][2] He scored his first career goal on July 27 in a 2–1 loss to the Kansas City Wizards. He would score again on September 7, this time in a 4–3 win over the Columbus Crew.[2] Robinson made 19 appearances during the regular season, helping San Jose finish 2nd in the Western Conference and allow the second fewest goals in the MLS.[7] Robinson would play 90 minutes in both of San Jose's playoff games against the Crew, but the Earthquakes lost each game by the score of 2–1.[8]

Robinson and the Earthquakes opened the 2003 season on March 16, losing 4–2 to C.S.D. Municipal in the Champions Cup.

He then suffered a MCL sprain in his left knee that forced him to miss the final 5 games of the regular season.[2] Despite being without Robinson for much of the season, the Earthquakes finished first in the Western Conference and second overall in the league. The 35 goals allowed tied with the LA Galaxy for fewest in the league.[9] Robinson would miss the first game of the playoffs, a 2–0 loss to the Galaxy.

He came on as a substitute in the second leg, but the Wizards would prevail 3–0, eliminating the Earthquakes by an aggregate score of 3–2.[2]

Robinson enjoyed a healthy season in 2005 and cemented himself as a starter. He scored his only goal of the season on July 9 to help San Jose to a 2–1 win over the Columbus Crew. The only three games Robinson missed during the season were due to red cards and yellow card accumulation. He set a career high with 29 games and 2450 minutes played, both MLS regular season only. Robinson formed a strong partnership with Danny Califf as they anchored an Earthquakes defense that allowed a league low 31 goals. Robinson helped the Earthquakes end the year with the top overall seed in MLS and win the 2005 Supporters' Shield. However, San Jose would lose in the first round of the playoffs to the LA Galaxy 4–2 on aggregate, with Robinson playing every minute of both games.[2]

Houston Dynamo

[edit]

The San Jose franchise and players moved to Houston ahead of the 2006 season and rebranded as the Houston Dynamo.[12] Robinson suffered a torn ligament in his right leg during preseason that forced him to miss the season opener.[13] He made his Dynamo debut on April 8, coming on as a substitute in a 2–1 loss to the Kansas City Wizards. Robinson scored his first goal for Houston on June 3, scoring off a Brad Davis corner kick in the 85th minute to give Houston a 2–1 win over the LA Galaxy.

After defeating the Colorado Rapids 3–1 in the Conference Final, the Dynamo faced off with the New England Revolution in MLS Cup 2006. Robinson and the Dynamo held the Revs to only one goal, but could only score one goal themselves. Houston would come through during the penalty shoutout 4–3, winning Houston's first MLS Cup.

Mulrooney assisted Robinson again on September 3–0, this time from a corner kick, in a 3–0 win over FC Dallas. Robinson would miss the final match of the regular season after picking up a red card in the previous game. Houston ended the regular season as a 2 seed, in large part due to a Robinson led Dynamo defense that allowed a league low 23 goals, setting a then MLS single season record for fewest goals in a season.[14] Robinson was honored for his performance by being named to the 2007 MLS Best XI and finished runner up for the MLS Defender of the Year Award, losing out to Michael Parkhurst[21][22] He was also named the Dynamo Defensive Player of the Year for the second straight season.[16] Robinson once again played every minute of the Dynamo's playoff run that saw them defeat FC Dallas and the Kansas City Wizards to return to MLS Cup, facing off with the New England Revolution for the second straight year.

On May 28, Dallas midfielder Marcelo Saragosa committed an offensive foul against Robinson, who retaliated by shoving Saragosa to the ground. Both were shown yellow cards and Robinson was ejected due to it being his second yellow of the game. After the initial incident, Dallas midfielder André Rocha confronted Robinson and was shown a straight red card after making contact with Robinson's face. Later the MLS disciplinary committee suspended Robinson for an additional game after deeming Robinson retaliated against Rocha. Robinson appealed the additional suspension, claiming he never touched Rocha, but the suspension was upheld. The game would end in a 2–2 draw.[26] On June 21, Robinson was subbed off during the first half after picking up an ankle sprain, forcing him to miss 2 MLS games and the first two games of the 2008 SuperLiga.[27][14] He returned from injury on July 19, playing 64 minutes in a 3–1 win over D.C. United, helping the Dynamo advance out of the SuperLiga group stage.[14] On July 23, facing D.C. United again, this time in MLS action, Robinson suffered a left hamstring strain[28] The injury forced him to miss the semifinal and final of the SuperLiga, where the New England Revolution would get revenge on the Dynamo for the 2006 and 2007 MLS Cup results, beating Houston 6–5 on penalties. Robinson returned to action on August 16, playing 90 minutes in a 4–3 win over Real Salt Lake.[29][24] The Dynamo finished the season as the 1 seed in the Western Conference, thanks in part to a defense that allowed a league low 32 goals.[30] The Dynamo experienced a disappointing playoffs however, losing to the New York Red Bulls 4–1 on aggregate in the first round, with Robinson playing every minute of the series.[14]

The Dynamo began the 2009 season February 24 with a 1–1 draw against Atlante F.C. in leg 1 of the 2008–09 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals, however Robinson missed the match due a red card in the final game of the group stage on November 26, 2008.

Árabe Unido in the 2009–10 CONCACAF Champions League group stage.[32] He made his only regular season appearance on October 25, coming on as a substitute in a 3–2 win over Chivas USA.[14] Despite being without Robinson for much of the year, the Dynamo still finished as the 2nd seed in the west, losing out on top spot to the LA Galaxy due to head-to-head record.[33] Robinson did not play in either leg of the Conference Semifinals, where the Dynamo defeated Seattle Sounders FC 1–0 in extra time of leg 2. In the conference final, Robinson came on as a substitute, but the Dynamo would lose 2–0 to the Galaxy in extra time.[14]

Ahead of the 2010 season Robinson signed a new contract with the Dynamo.[34] On March 27, Robinson and the Dynamo opened the 2010 season with a 1–1 draw with FC Dallas, Robinson was subbed off after suffering a left hamstring strain.[35] However, he missed only one game and returned to the field on April 10, a 2–1 loss to the Galaxy.[36] On May 29, Robinson scored his only goal of the season and his first MLS goal since 2007 in a 3–2 loss to the Philadelphia Union.[14] Despite a healthy season that saw Robinson play 23 of the 30 league games, the season was a disappointment for Houston, who missed out on the playoffs after finishing 7th in the Western Conference. The Dynamo allowed 49 goals in 2010, tied for second most in the league.[37]

After the 2010 season, the Dynamo declined the contract option for Robinson, but worked out a new contract for 2011.[38][39] He made his first appearance of the season on April 6 in a 1–0 loss to Sporting Kansas City in a U.S. Open Cup qualifier.[14] Robinson was healthy for most of the year, but struggled to get playing time with Bobby Boswell, André Hainault, and Jermaine Taylor ahead of him on the center back depth chart. He would only make 2 league appearances all season, but still held a leadership role in the locker room.[40][41] The Dynamo would make a run to MLS Cup 2011, where Houston lost 1–0 to the Galaxy, however Robinson did not appear in any games.[2]

At the end of the 2011 season, the club declined Robinson's 2012 contract option and he entered the 2011 MLS Re-Entry Draft.[42] Robinson was not selected in the draft and became a free agent. He announced his retirement at the age of 33 on January 11, 2012.[43][44]

Style of play

International
