The New York Red Bulls will establish their playoff position in the Eastern Conference today when they take on the Philadelphia Union at PPL Park (1:30pm, NBC).
The Red Bulls can move up to the No. 3 seed with a victory today against the Union, but could wind up stuck playing in a Wednesday Eastern Conference wild card match if they fall short against a Union side playing out the string.
On the Union side, Freddy Adu’s exclusion from the squad will garner the headlines today, but the match will also serve as a final chance for the team’s players to convince Hackworth that they deserve places on the Union roster in 2013.
