For the MLS fans out there, don't forget the New York Red Bulls are in New England tonight at 7:30. The game will be on MSG Plus. Hard to know what to make of this game being that each team is missing key players. For New York, we of course know that Jozy is gone. Out of action tonight will be Claudio Reyna (to the surprise of few), Juan Pablo Angel and Jeff Parke. Osorio hopes to give Parke some well deserved rest and shake up a lineup that was miserable against DC. Look for Magee and Ubiparipovic to start as well as Oscar Echeverry up top. Chris Megaloudis may also see his first MLS minutes tonight as he is back from his national team with Puerto Rico. New England on the other hand, is without Twellman due to injury as well as Shalrie Joseph and Khano Smith who are away for World Cup qualifying. Ralston and Dube still put fear in my heart as a Red Bull fan, and I don't think we'll see a sudden turnaround without a healthy team and hopefully reinforcements in the trade window. 3-0 New England. Your thoughts/predictions?
UPDATE: The Red Bulls earned a point on the road by scoring first off a nice Seth Stammler volley from a Dave Van den Berg cross. They looked the better team for much of the game, but Steve Ralston equalized in the 79th, then New York scrambled the final minutes to hold onto the draw. In the other MLS game of the night, Real Salt Lake and San Jose tied 0-0 with Real Salt Lake unable to take advantage of an extended man advantage after Jason Hernandez of the Earthquakes was sent off just before halftime for a second yellow. San Jose was outshot an incredible 24-7, but RSL mostly failed to shoot on frame.
