Greetings from Ottawa, Welcome Osorio, and Houston Avenge the Loss to RBNY

First off, greetings from Ottawa as me, the girlfriend, and my cousin Brandon are getting prepared for the USA vs. Brazil U-20 match-up tomorrow at 7:45pm est (on top of the Argentina/People's Republic of Korea match before). For right now, we will forget about the 1-0 loss to Colombia and the rather poor showing in Venezuela to concentrate on the U-20 USMNT who have compiled a 1-0-1 record.

The drive up was harmless and it seemed like we were making good time. Instead, we made Google-map time and that annoyed me. Either way, the city is ready and cough...actually aware that this game is taking place tomorrow at Frank Clair Stadium in Lansdowne. If I can get to internet, I will post tomorrow - otherwise, expect a "travel log" of sorts coming this Monday (when I return to NJ). In the meantime, I hope you all had a wonderful 4th and if you didn't see the 4-0 Houston drubbing of RBNY, the highlights don't even take care of it. What has happened?

Houston 4, New York 0
Robertson Stadium

Joseph Ngwenya scored twice to propel the Dynamo forward and continue good form (somehow this guy keeps scoring, a Twellman-sense when it comes to positioning in front of the goal). Ching welcomed himself back with a put back in the 32nd minute. His goal was one of four in the first half which put the Bulls away early (2nd year Stuart Holden struck yet another MLS goal of the week candidate). The Red Bulls have quickly turned into a team with the worst form in the MLS - this parity is killing me.

Parity? I have a hard time saying that's NY's problem. IMHO Bruce's been tinkering with the defense too much. No team should be letting Ngwenya score, let alone get a brace.
