RS Posted March 26, 2006 Author Share Posted March 26, 2006 The match ended 3-0 for Houston, with all four Canadians seeing action. Serioux played as a CB for Dynamo, Jazic at LB for Red Bull, DeRo at his usual position behind the strikers, and Onstad of course in goal. Serioux looked competant in the back line, and really mixed it up. He got a yellow for a hard challenge on Djorkaeff. No love lost for the old teammates, I guess. Jazic's name wasn't called much by the announcer, but from what little I saw, he played essentially as he does for the national team. That is, solid decision making, quick passes out of the back and good positional play. De Rosario looked stellar for Houston, if despite showing some obvious off-season rust. He's really rounding into a leader and catalyst for that squad, and probably should be the captain. EVERY Houston offensive foray went through him. Onstad was solid as usual in goal for Houston, the highlight being a great save on a wonderful free kick by Djorkaeff. Anyways, that was a nice little Saturday evening diversion. But now it's Saturday night, so I'm outta here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearcatSA Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 quote:Originally posted by Rudi Jazic's name wasn't called much by the announcer, but from what little I saw, he played essentially as he does for the national team. That is, solid decision making, quick passes out of the back and good positional play. I hope he is able to be more involved offensively at left back in their scheme because he has a good cross off his left peg. Unfortunately, I didn't see that enough in his MNT performances during qualifying, primarily because I'm guessing Yallop wanted him to stay at home.
