Red Bulls vs. Union: Match Night Commentary

New York Red Bulls Logo Philadelphia Union Logo

The final Major League Soccer playoff berth is on the line tonight as I-95 rivals New York Red Bulls and Philadelphia Union clash at Red Bull Arena tonight (8pm, ESPN2).

The task is a clear one for the Red Bulls. Win or draw tonight and New York qualifies for the playoffs. Lose and New York must rely on the Portland Timbers to lose or tie in their final match in order for the Red Bulls to back into the playoffs.

The Union enter with their own goals for tonight's match. Peter Nowak's side can still clinch first place in the Eastern Conference, and a win would provide a major boost to the Union's hopes of grabbing the No. 1 seed in the East playoffs.

New York will have to get a result without star forward Thierry Henry, who is suspended after picking up a red card in last week's loss to Kansas City.

  1. They claim a full house semi-honestly, because all the tickets are sold. It will take many non-renewals of season tickets to get RBNY to figure out that they and Harrison have made getting to and from the stadium such a nightmare that it keeps people away.

  2. Some of the sloppiest football, at the professional level, I have ever watched.

    It’s no wonder why the quality of MLS is questionable. And some folks think the top teams can compete at the 2.BL or English Championship level, are they smoking something?

  3. Less than 5 minutes in the match and ream is already trying to give the ball away with his wunder passing ability….just outside his box….lol

  4. +1 lindpere clearly deserves the captaincy. He is the one that brings it every night. Just goes to show how out of touch RBNY management and staff is with the actual product on the field.

  5. Marquez as captain is a disgrace. Joel Lindpere overlooked? What in the world is RBNY doing? Serious catering to a DP that doesn’t deserve it.
