Red Bull Rant

Opening weekend, and an opening miscue. The New York Red Bulls could not get the job done against Toronto FC, but the boys are back to do the job of talking about why. They are joined by Dave Martinez of Empire of Soccer to talk about why the Red Bulls fell short, if they can change the track against the Montreal Impact, some wrestling, and a weird way for Dave to be talking on the phone. The guys...

Jason is back from vacation and it's time for the boys to look at the upcoming season for the New York Red Bulls. They talk to Mitchell Tierney of Waking the Red to get a view of the Red Bulls' first opponent, Toronto FC. They also talk to Daniel Feuerstein to talk about how quiet the off season has been for the Red Bulls. In the final segment, the boys go nuts with their season & match previews,...

It's 2016! The Red Bull Rant boys are back to bring you coverage of the New York Red Bulls. They start off talking preseason. The team is down in Florida and they had their first scrimmage with the University of South Florida. There were two people missing Luis Robles is off with the United States Men's Team. Matt Miazga was the other, but he wasn't with the USMNT like he was supposed to be! Where...

"Always a bridesmaid, never a bride." That's a phrase that perfectly fits the New York Red Bulls. Another exit in the playoffs, and for the second straight year, it's in the Eastern Conference Finals. The boys wrap up the playoff exit as well as the 2015 season. They are joined by former Star Ledger, and now newyorkredbulls.com reporter Frank Giase to see what went wrong, and what we can expect ou...

2015 Supporters' Shield. 1st seed in the Eastern Conference. Two regular season wins. It was all there for the taking and the New York Red Bulls just basically laid an egg against Columbus Crew SC. Now they are in a 2-0 hole going back to Red Bull Arena, and have a lot of work to do in order to even try and force extra time. Can the boys in white pull off the comeback and continue the season by go...

The international break is over, and the United States hasn't completely imploded/exploded during World Cup Qualifying. Back to the most important thing though, the Eastern Conference Final in the MLS Playoffs. It's time for the New York Red Bulls to put in work against Columbus Crew SC as they fight for MLS Cup. The boys talk to Patrick Guldan of Massive Report to get the view from the other side...

Oh we beat D.C., oh we beat D.C.! Oh we beat D.C., oh we beat D.C.! 2-0 aggregate! 2 shots on goal for D.C. United over both legs. The New York Red Bulls didn't just win, they dominated their rivals in the playoffs. Now it's off to face Columbus Crew SC in the Eastern Conference Finals. Before that though, it's international break time as the United States takes on St. Vincent & The Grenadines and...

Leg 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals is in the books. Damien Perrinelle is out for the rest of the year. Ronald Zubar will fill in, but he picked up a yellow card, along with fellow center back Matt Miazga. Can the New York Red Bulls survive D.C. United and keep them around for the next match? We talk about all of this, US Open Cup rule changes, some terrible teams, and some bad news from th...

Two Supporters's Shield in three years. Facing D.C. United again in the playoffs. Jessie Marsch has some interesting comments. It's a good time to be a fan of the New York Red Bulls. Oh, we also broke the curse in Chiacgo, so there's that as well! Wait, the New England Revolution are out of the playoffs?! Toronto FC got bounced in a blowout?! Well, things are just happening all over the place aren...

Five goals were scored in the New York Red Bulls 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Union. Just four less than the number of Union fans who signed up for a bus trip. The win also featured a new MLS record, which broke one previously owned by the Red Bulls themselves. After the big win, it's onto Chicago to take on the Chicago Fire in what could be the biggest game of the year. The Supporter's Shield wi...

It's double recap time for the boys, and what a better way to do it than with two 2-1 results to talk about. The New York Red Bulls ability to let us down is amazing though. The guys are joined by Joe Godino, drummer for The Menzingers, who happens to be a Philadelphia Union fan, on the show for some trash talk and seeing how a travelling musician follows his favorite team. The guys then predict w...

It looks like that 5-2 loss was more of a bump in the road than anything else, as the New York Red Bulls got back on track with a 2-1 win over Columbus Crew SC. They won’t have much time to bask in the win as the team has a short turnaround with the visiting Montreal Impact coming midweek. The guys talk to Sofiane Benzaza of Mount Royal Soccer about Drogba and the matchup between possible playoff...

So yea, so much for Orlando City SC being worse off than the New York Red Bulls. The league of parity strikes again! The Red Bulls also got lucky with the parity, all the other teams had a terrible weekend also. So, hooray for mediocre play keeping the Red Bulls near the top of the league. Can they improve off of the 5-2 loss by taking it to Columbus Crew SC and getting a valuable three home point...

It happened! The New York Red Bulls won MLS Cup! Wait, no, they just made the playoffs. Time to celebrate though? It was a good game though as the Red Bulls took care of the Portland Timbers on the road 2-0, knocking off one of the best defensive teams in MLS. Orlando City SC comes in hot though looking to keep their shot at the playoffs alive. Can the Red Bulls beat the visiting Lions and get a s...

Two games in a week? That means two wins right? Think again. It’s a narrow escape from the Fire but a disappointing win by the bluecoats that thwarted a playoff berth. Not to worry though, we can still find the silver lining in most things. The Red Bulls are still on the edge of a berth though as they travel to Portland to cut down the Timbers. Orlando City can also help the New York Red Bulls by...

With another week finally behind the New York Red Bulls, how will they fare against the Chicago Fire? Can they overcome the bye week blues that they faced in Chicago not to long ago? The boys take a look at the September 11th match as well as some new front office hires by the Red Bulls. Pat also has some things to say about this week's terrible team of the week.

We take a look at the playoff picture and lastly take a shot at predicting semi-random MLS match...

The New York Red Bulls winning streak is over, but the 10 year winless streak at Chicago continues after a 3-2 loss to the Fire. There’s no time to fret though, because next up is D.C. United and #DCHateWeek! We talk to Jason Anderson from Black & Red United for the low down on the old rivals and see how their new stadium is coming along. The guys give their predictions and Truman’s Terrible Team...

Toronto FC is no match for the Red Bulls as Matt Miazga adds to the number of players he keeps in his back pocket. An impressive 3-0 win over Toronto leads into a weekend without a match due to New England saluting AC/DC over MLS. Brian Lewis from the New York Post joins Jason & Truman to talk Shaun Wright-Phillip, Gonzalo Veron, and how Jesse Marsch will deal with have a glutton of players to cho...

3 games, 9 points, some brooms, 1 sweep, and NY is Red. Forza Lucha was a success while the New York Red Bulls completed the sweep of New York City FC and the Empire Supporter's Club supplied some brooms. An ugly fight did cast a shadow on the day but there's a lot to be happy about. Damien Perrinelle does not though, he was a naughty boy and the MLS Disciplinary Committee came down on him. Truman...

A 3 game MLS road trip for the New York Red Bulls ended with a 1-1 draw against the Montreal Canadians, we mean Montreal Impact. Before that, the Philadelphia Union were dooped by a 3-1 scoreline as Shaun Wright-Phillips made his MLS debut. Pat and Truman went to the Red Bulls training facility for some New York Red Bulls II action while Jason regails us with his first MLS press box experience. Oh...

It’s been a weird week for the New York Red Bulls. They beat Benefica 2-1 in the International Champions Cup. Sean Davis went off and played well in the Chipotle Homegrown Game. Dax McCarty went off and played well in the MLS All-Star Game. They had no MLS match to speak of, so they got to rest. Oh, they also signed Shaun Wright-Phillips, and are reported to sign a Designated Player in Gonzalo Ver...

Three games in five days. Two meanful, one not so much. It doesn't matter; the boys (well, minus Pat) are here to take you through the week that was in New York Red Bulls. A 2-0 win down against Orlando City in a hot humid Florida is followed up by a penalty kick loss to the Philadelphia Union back in New York during the US Open Cup. The Red Bull reserves showed very well during a 4-2 win over vis...

While Pat is off helping the citizens of Guatemala deal with a Gold Cup loss, Jason & Truman are here to guide you through the happiness of the New York Red Bulls 4-1 victory over the New England Revolution. They are then joined by Kevin Mercer of The Mane Lane to discuss Orlando City's transition to MLS, a new stadium, and an oppressive Florida heat. In the final segment, Jason & Truman preview t...

It’s Gold! I’t’s been 150 episodes for the boys from the Rant, but no midweek match doesn’t mean they can slack off. The New York Red Bulls lost to Columbus Crew SC but there’s more important matters in Red Bull land. There’s this newfangled thing called “Targetted Allocation” money that we need to learn more about. The date for the Red Bulls Quaterfinal US Open Cup match against the Philadelphia...
