red-bulls Stories - Black And Red United
Golden Boot
Surprise surprise.Angel couldn't score a goal last night against the Galaxy despite numerous chances to tie Luciano Emilio for most goals in the league. Can the Red Bulls beat us at anything? So unless Eddie Johnson or Taylor Twellman can put up five goals this weekend, our boy Luci-gol has locked...

Eastern promises
When DC United started making all their numerous changes this offseason, I had it in my mind that I would NOT pick them to finish in first place, because there were just too many question marks. So I toyed for a while with putting Chicago in first, but then I realized that they had a new...
On Clean Sheets

Because as others have pointed out, the MLS Regular Season is long and forgiving. Nor am I concerned with the team being in the bottom third of the league in goals against, despite...

When did the Red Bulls get good?

Sigh...

DC United win at NY Red Bulls, 3-2
