It is interesting that the NY Red Bull have the highest goals scored per game played (2.6), goal difference (1.4) and the highest number of points earned per game (2.1) across both leagues. There should be a bit more hype on the RedBull’s performance.
The standings based on simple total points can be a bit misleading.
Don’t forget a blown chance to win champions league. Lucky break here or there could have gone the other way there.
They were great against Atlanta. I realize so much focus is on Atlanta because on paper many of us would pick them. NYRB might just be the best team…..having an injured Adams definitely changes that though.
