We wanted to keep going, keep playing fast, keep pressuring.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sinovic was selected by the Revolution in the second round of the 2010 SuperDraft. He\u00a0played 20 games\u00a0for New England\u00a0in his rookie year,\u00a0but was waived\u00a0on Mar. 31, 2011.<\/p>\n<p>While Houston may have gotten the best of Sinovic&#8217;s squad in the end, the Kansas City native believes that the scoreline didn&#8217;t match the efforts of his teammates.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We outplayed them over the two games and probably deserve more,&#8221; Sinovic said. &#8220;But that\u2019s how playoff soccer is. Houston is a tough team with a lot of experience. They\u2019re never easy to break down. We did our best tonight and played our hearts out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sinovic also thanked the home supporters that showed up for Wednesday&#8217;s semifinal.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This team wouldn\u2019t have been as successful without the fans,&#8221; Sinovic said. &#8220;Every single game day they showed up and they were loud. It\u2019s an honor to play in front of them. You couldn\u2019t ask for more from the fans and the entire organization, really.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Revolution left back Seth Sinovic scored his first MLS goal in Wednesday&#8217;s Eastern Conference Semifinal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16783"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16783"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16783\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16795,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16783\/revisions\/16795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nesoccertoday.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
