Red Bulls rising

Well RB fans, after Thursday’s smash and grab win in Dallas, echoing throughout the league today is confirmation that we can both score and defend in depth. We are now 360 scoreless minutes in to what could prove the defining season of our existence and with the exception of Time Regan’s headless chicken impression, each [...]

Open Cup Date Set: We’re LA-Bound
By: Martha | No Comments
As our beloved LA Beckhams Galaxy-blogging cousin Laurie reported last night, the next round of the US Open Cup has been set, and in it RBNY will face the Galaxy on May 8* at their place, just days after the Real Salt Lake match. Thank goodness the team will get a bit of rest between [...]
FC Dallas v RBNY: Another Game, Another Shutout
By: Martha | 3 Comments
So, let me get this straight: An undefeated start, four straight shutouts, two defensive records and a team playing with buckets of confidence? Man alive. If this is a dream, no one is allowed to pinch me for the foreseeable future, at least not until we give up a goal.
Though last night’s game didn’t seem [...]
Feeling the burn

As the winningest coach in US history, Bruce Arena knows the element of surprise. But who would have thought that after last year’s debacle of a season, we would be sitting atop the Eastern conference with a team possessing workman like grit and attacking flair in equal measure. Not I.
But while much has been made [...]

Despite playing them just days ago during the Great Monsoon of 2007, RBNY are headed to Dallas tomorrow night to wrap up heir season series with the team I will continue to call the Burn, only because that name is so terrible that I sort of miss it. (You know, like “MetroStars,” except not really.)

Alert: The Angel Has Landed. Repeat, the Angel Has Landed!
By: Martha | No Comments
Juan Pablo Angel is on the ground in NY, and as usual Ives Galarcep was first with the news. According to Ives, Angel will train with the team tomorrow morning and, while the practice isn’t officially open to the public, it’s taking place on a college campus and will be awfully hard to actually close.

RBNY v Houston: Ten Men Kick Ass
By: Martha | 6 Comments
Watching RBNY last night was an almost surreal experience — they were in no way flawless, but they played with a tremendous toughness and commitment, both of which were totally absent from the side pretty much all last season. These are not the Red Bulls to whom we are accustomed, and thank goodness for that. [...]
Look Out, Bitches: Here Come the Red Bulls!
By: Martha | 1 Comment
Awesome, awesome game. I’ll write something more analytical tomorrow, but that was truly fantastic. Down a man to the champs for nearly an hour, and RBNY still controlled the game and pulled out a well-deserved win. Good stuff (mostly — I’m looking at you, Woly) all around: Houston ended with just a handful of shots, [...]
Welcome to the jungle

After a long, stressful week, there is nothing like the excitement of Premier League football to warm up for MLS. And after watching the dogfight between Sheffield United- Charlton, I am reminded how the looming threat of relegation can liven up a match.
While many PL players are already planning their holiday, those threatened with [...]
Category: CURRENT ROSTERClash of the champions?
By: Chris | No Comments
Ok, so maybe the headline is premature, but after struggling in 2006, Bruce’s boys can be compared favorably to the same Houston side which dominated MLS last season. Possessing identical records, both teams began the season with a draw and dramatically rose their play to record a win in match 2 (not to mention dealing [...]
