Red Bull Rant

It’s the Bradley Wright-Phillips show, and we are all just enjoying the view. 59 goals for the Englishman in MLS since joining the New York Red Bulls in 2013. Not to be outdone, recent signing Omer Damari came into the team’s second CONCACAF Champions League match and secure a valuable road point, which is not an easy task in a continental tournament. Sean Davis also has his second MLS goal in as...

Can a draw be better than a win? Maybe, but not when it happens after being denied two clear penalty kicks in the last fifteen minutes. That’s what happened when the New York Red Bulls drew 2-2 with the LA Galaxy. Oh, and three players came off with injuries. That sounds like a lot of fun. The Red Bulls thankfully had a break before an upcoming 3 game, 9 day stretch that starts with the Montreal I...

The New York Red Bulls could not put out the Chicago Fire, but they were able to come back against Antigua Guatemala FC for their first CONCACAF Champions League win. The Red Bull Rant boys are also back after a bad week of audio took episode 193 to the recycle bin. Will the Red Bulls turn CCL victory into momentum when they travel to take on the LA Galaxy? We'll see, but at least we have Sean Dav...

The New York Red Bulls built a 2 goal lead against the Philadelphia Union over 30 minutes, and all it took was 1 minute to give it away. Will they do the same against New York City FC, or will they actually get a win? It's not all NYC FC though as Jesse Marsch has been on the referee warpath. Michael Lewis of Big Apple Soccer joins the boys to talk about it all before the last Hudson River match o...

The New York Red Bulls finally broke their winless streak! It only took a midweek match against a falling Orlando City SC, but hey, they did it. Next up, near the top of the Eastern Conference Philadelphia Union. Can the Red Bulls go to Chester and pull out a rare road win? Can they get revenge for the US Open Cup exit? Will they finally wear a blue jersey in 2016? We'll have to wait and see. Musi...

It's dark times in the land of the New York Red Bulls. They suffered a bad end to a four game round trip. Lloyd Sam (aka "Llyod") is no longer with the team as he's been traded to D.C. United for allocation money. Things don't look any brighter as the Red Bulls have 3 games in an 8 day stretch coming up, and the stretch of Eastern Conference opponents is here. Musical Credits: Opening: Happy Rock...

Dropping points is a new thing for the New York Red Bulls. First it was away to Real Salt Lake. Next it was away to Columbus Crew SC. Then it was to the Philadelphia Union in the US Open Cup. The last road win in MLS was at New York City FC. A return trip is coming up. Can the Red Bulls get another seven goal victory and earn another road win? Can NYC FC actually do something?

It's a busy time for the New York Red Bulls. Three matches in a six day span, and a ton more before July ends. The team is coming off of a win over the Seattle Sounders and a late road loss to Real Salt Lake. Can they turn it around with a Saturday road match against Columbus Crew SC? Can they carry momentum into an US Open Cup match against the Philadelphia Union? The guys talk about that and the...

The United States secured another one goal victory, this time against Ecuador, to advance to the Semifinals of the 2016 Copa America. Now it's on to face Lionel Messi and Argentina for a place in the Championship match. Will the magic continue? If not, can they at least avoid a Mexico style exit from the tournament? Pat and Chris sit down in yet another Yanks Go Marching to see if this US team can...

The New York Red Bulls are done with their Copa America/Summer break, and boy, did they start off the post-break stretch right. It may have only been a 1-0 win off of a penalty kick against the Rochester Rhinos, but a win is a win is a win. The Red Bulls have the Seattle Sounders coming up on Father's Day as they return to MLS action. Will they continue their winning streak? Musical Credits: Openi...

The United States held out a long time with 10 men against Paraguay. In return, karma granted favor with Cotsa Rica playing spoiler in a match where they had nothing to lose. Pat MacDonald and Chris Kaminski are back to talk about where the US is heading into the knockout stage of the 2016 Copa America Centenario. Can the team advance to the semifinals? The finals? Can they win it all? Musical Cre...

On the second episode of Red Bull Rant Yanks Go Marching Edition, Chris Kaminski gets bogged down in Chicago, so Daniel Feuerstein of Once a Metro and Feuerstein’s Fire joins Pat MacDonald to look back at the U.S.’ 4-0 demolition of Costa Rica on Tuesday night.

Plus preview the match Tuesday night. On top of that the guys discuss some early Copa America mishaps and debate ma...

Bradley Wright-Phillips scored the quickest hat trick in MLS History on the way to the New York Red Bulls' third straight win. Good things come in threes, but hopefully the three week layoff in MLS won't stop the Red Bulls' momentum. The Red Bulls and MLS are taking a break for Copa America Centenario, so it's time to switch gears to the United States Men's National Team and see if they can advanc...

If you knew that the New York Red Bulls would manage to put up seven goals against New York City FC; hopefully you had money on it. Red Wedding, Red Shredding, red whatever you call it, the Red Bulls absolutely owned NYC FC. Aaron Bauer, formerly of Once a Metro, now of SNY, joins the guys to talk about the beat down, Toronto FC, and weirdly enough, how the World Cup stadiums in Brazil are being u...

"Rivarly Week", what a stupid name; or is it? Truman hates the idea and thinks that the New York Red Bulls should be playing D.C. United this week instead of New York City FC. Jason agrees, and Pat appears to disagree. Regardless, the match against their opponents across the river is an important one. Raf Noboa y Rivera of Hudson River Blue joins the boys to talk about the match and the hot streak...

After the New York Red Bulls' streak of losing to open the 2016 season, a 3 game unbeaten streak is a very good thing. A 1-1 draw against Orlando City SC is disappointing, but one can't argue with gaining a point on the road. The near future is a busy one though, with the Red Bulls taking on D.C. United and the Chicago Fire five days apart. Oh, there's also Karl Ouimette getting kicked in the back...

What a way to say that 2016 has started! The New York Red Bulls crushed FC Dallas with a 4-0 win on a rainy Friday night. The team will look to better its 3-2 win over Orlando City SC this coming Friday to establish their first winning streak of the year. First, they have to welcome new addition Aurelien Collin to the squad and hope he can fill in nicely at a now packed Center Back position. Music...

Truman and Pat take the reigns, tonight without Jay's steady guiding hand. This episode they review the New York Red Bulls' 3-2 win over Orlando City SC, in particular Bradley Wright-Phillips' return to the scoresheet. They address the tumors surrounding Miroslav Klose. It's also a short turnaround for the Red Bulls who go from the last game played on Sunday to the first played this week when they...

Another game, another loss to the New York Red Bulls; this time to the Colorado Rapids. Can the team turn it around with a prime time visit from Orlando City SC? The guy talk to Luis Hernandez of The Mane Land to see where the second year expansion team sits midway through the month of April. They also give their predictions for the Orlando match as well as the important question, are the Red Bull...

Two games, zero goals, zero wins. What was that about the New York Red Bulls finding some form after the loss to New England? Well, the Red Bulls will need to shape up quickly if they want to salvage the season. Truman is away this week (heartbroken over the losses of course), so it's up to Jason & Pat to see where things went wrong, and if the team can turn it around against the Colorado Rapids.

So much for building momentum from a win, instead blowing it in a 1-0 loss to the New England Revolution. The New York Red Bulls have 99 problems and a ref is one after Felipe Martins got a red card. The guys talk to Arielle Castillo of mlssoccer.com about the first MLS game, uniforms, and MLS rivalries. As if this week wasn't full enough, the Red Bulls have two games coming up against Sporting Ka...

So a two goal loss is followed up by a 4 goal win? It sounds like the United States Men's Team doesn't know who it is. That's fine for now, but will it work for Russia 2018? The US Women's Team players are going to court over fair pay. Oh, and the New York Red Bulls are back in action when they take on the New England Revolution Friday night. Will a back line missing now 3 starters be able to comp...

It took three matches, but the New York Red Bulls have their first win of 2016 after an exciting 4-3 win over the Houston Dynamo. Felipe Martins went all crazy like in the second half, and Pat & Truman are loving it. The boys are joined by Matt Doyle of mlssoccer.com to talk about the Red Bulls' season so far and the United States Men's Team prospects. Is Sacha Kljestan good? We think so, but what...

Zero for Two. Who thought the New York Red Bulls would have been in this position only a few weeks ago? Certainly not the Red Bull Rant boys, but here we are. The Red Bulls return home after a three goal loss to the Montreal Impact to take on a Houston Dynamo team that just beat FC Dallas by five goals. Things are not looking up, but can the Red Bulls pull off an upset for their first victory in 2...
