The Shite up 1-0. Red Bull Arena is sexy as hell. good atmosphere

[Yohan]

very bitter watching this game. the shittiest team last year looks so much better, motivated and organized than TFC

[jloome]

Robbo's controllng the midfield against Santos, taking NY's free kicks.

2-0 now.

[ag futbol]

2-0 now for RBNY.

Whoever is playing the middle for RBNY is playing really, really, well. (no it`s not robinson)

The speed of Richards, Kjandi, etc.. giving Santos problems

[MUFC_Niagara]

Beautiful corner from Robbo. Completely controlling the game. 2-0. We got a draft pick for him.

[Detroit_TFC]

very bitter watching this game. the shittiest team last year looks so much better, motivated and organized than TFC

You took the words right out of my mouth, my friend.

[Yohan]

2-0 Mike Petke. I kinda like that guy. He plays with heart

[jloome]

I should note, that's with NY down to 10 men since the 17 minute.

3-0 Red bulls. They're taking santos apart.

[Detroit_TFC]

RB is fucking killing Santos, I can't believe my eyes

[ag futbol]

Holly crap 3-0.

[MUFC_Niagara]

3-0.

[Yohan]

3-0 wow. what a rocket shot. terrible camera work though

[Aroundtheworld]

That was a howitzer by Richards

[jloome]

Robbo's knee just went.

[jloome]

Nope. he's walking it off.

[ag futbol]

Maybe it is Robinson that was playing really well. Scary thought.

[Yohan]

roof makes everything so much better...

[jloome]

Holy.

NY killing one of the supposedly best club teams in the world.

My head hurts.

[Yohan]

half time. 3-0 the shite

[Yohan]

Holy.

NY killing one of the supposedly best club teams in the world.

My head hurts.
well, sounds like santos is playing some of their youth squad

[ag futbol]

Holy.

NY killing one of the supposedly best club teams in the world.

My head hurts.
I can tell you right now, beware of their coach.

He has them organized in exactly the right fashion. He`s using all their speed to counter and has them tight defensively.

Is Juan Pablo Angel even playing... didn`t see him there.

[Detroit_TFC]

No JPA, still recovering from JDG's tackle in Florida.

[Yohan]

yeah really. Backe has the Shite counter with purpose utilizing Kandji and Richards speed. and their passing isn't flaccid like TFCs...

the thing is, I don't think NY has any really awesome passers. Robbo and Ubiparovic aren't exactly great passers. though that Limpere guy looks good on wing

and no JPA. that's the crazy part

[jazzy]

At least now there is another team to follow in MLS.....Go Robbo, sorry but I am getting this leaf feeling, and thats why I gave up on leafs and their continued BS....I do not care what happens until MO is gone, I love the players, love the sweater, love RPB's, HATE the mgmt, I really feel with MO it's ME first TO 2nd.....please do not wreck this great thing we have Mo, get some dignity, quit, a ya you can`t you are in deep with the bookies, That has to be it, right...and we`re hopin Barrett saves us

[Shway]

23yrd old player from wales? LOL

[JuliquE]

Isn't it just peachy, knowing that we're paying $175k for Robinson to command the middle of the pitch against Santos.

In a way, I'm glad he'll get to retire there; he was miserable, having to put up with Mo and his crap.. now he'll go out with a bang -- inaugural season for the best SSS in MLS and with a team that's really finding it's form, of late.

As someone's already mentioned, elsewhere, I hope Robbo can add fuel to our fire, by having an amazing year and exposing the poor management of our beloved TFC.

Tschuess.

[Yohan]

robbo subbed out. probably due to knock he received

[RoyalMidfielder]

Fuck. That stadium is gorgeous. The atmosphere is not half bad either. :picard:

I'm definitely excited for the season to start

[Yohan]

it's bouna time

[ag futbol]

Whoever this Solou guy is he looks really good. Very slippery.

[jloome]

Sutts coming in. It's just an all-ex TFC love in.

Christ.

[Yohan]

dane richards out. sutton in

[adamdz]

NY can score goals, why can't we :(.

[JuliquE]

NY can score goals, why can't we :(.
Which of the 938472 reasons would you like?! I've never called them "shite".. and I don't think I will start any time soon, either.

[Detroit_TFC]

RBNY's revenge for the "RBs are Shite" chant, they now have 4 ex-TFC players.

[Bloor West FC]

I will always cheer for our Reds but Mo has to go. Its time we the fans put real pressure for change this year.

[MUFC_Niagara]

Tschuess.

Couldn't have said it better. I hope Robbo runs riot in NY and goes out a winner. Go on Robbo!

[ag futbol]

typical, ref misses the initial elbow to the face ... turns into something bigger.

[Yohan]

should have been red for both incidents

[ag futbol]

So Santos sent their diving team, when`s the futbol team coming

[Dirk Diggler]

3-0? Wow. Is there any other team in the East that figures to be worse than us this year? NYRB was my last hope.

[Dirk Diggler]

Boyens coming in.

[RoyalMidfielder]

Red Bull just doing Ole's now...LOL

[RoyalMidfielder]

Oh Shit, they're not even using Juan Pablo Angel. And that Agudelo kid is only 17!

[jazzy]

3-0? Wow. Is there any other team in the East that figures to be worse than us this year? NYRB was my last hope.

Like every year it seems we get the newbie team and guess what, we`ll have our hands full........... I say just past mid season when our corp finally catches the drift and we`re in last place, and scalpers, (who call the shots), BTW, can`t sell tickets, then finally MO is let go, and some poor front office, newbe is made to put a positive spin on it. and the start of the never ending cycle may have a new beginning.........Oh ya Montreal gets in and shows us how really organized they are, etc...

[Yohan]

ah lol. santos gets one back

[ag futbol]

Ok, impressive performance.

And i still hold out hope we can be ahead of a rebuilding New England, a hopeless KC, and maybe a backwards DC United. But i`m not even sure about two of those at the current rate.

[Oldtimer]

3-1 for the Red Bulls. A good result against a legendary team.

[Dirk Diggler]

Santos with a goal on pretty much the last touch of the game. It seems as if Boyens lost his man on the free kick lol. But yeah ... great result for NYRB in a good opening act for the stadium

[Shway]

Oh Shit, they're not even using Juan Pablo Angel. And that Agudelo kid is only 17!

Santos whole squad consisted of players 21 and under.
The guy who was slipping around New Yorks defence was Neymar.
He got fouled so many times, but the referee was being a prick to him.

Side note:

Neymar Da Silva
Has attracted substantial interest from European clubs including Manchester City, Manchester United, Milan, Real Madrid, Arsenal F.C., F.C. Barcelona and Chelsea

Price range: 35 million U.S.

[SoccMan]

Wow the Red Bulls are fior real, a great stadium and I think they have a real team to go with the stadium, the Red Bulls will be the team of the 2010 season, they may not win it all , however, will be one of the revelations of the 2010 season, you heard it here first people.

Do you think they have any regrets about getting rid of Mo? No, I didn't think so...

[thisisinternetclash]

How did the crowd look? Sellout?

[Daveisonfire]

oh the red bulls are...

[flatpicker]

NY players must be super pumped about the new stadium.
No more playing in that empty cavern anymore.
The possibility of a large attendance and support.
It must feel like Christmas.

Meanwhile, I am green with envy.

[cuecas_red]

How did the crowd look? Sellout? Looked to be a sellout

[canadian_bhoy]

Obstructed view seats fail

If I were them, that's where I'd put the away fans. But I'm pretty sure they have them behind the goal in the upper deck.

[Whoop]

This is New Jersey?

If I didn't know any better I would think those pictures were from some other stadium in a different part of the world.

do you have 200 million dollars lying around by chance? you too can build a RBA

[boban]

do you have 200 million dollars lying around by chance? you too can build a RBA
The mother of RBA, Wörtherseestadion in Klagenfurt cost~ $100 mil CDN for a capacity of 7,000 more at 32,000.
RBA's price increase was in large part due to a scrapping of the previous plans for the stadium resulting in new architect drawings and permits, construction delays, building on contaminated land, and then finding other contaminates when digging actually began.
A lot of that $200 million was not in steel and bricks.
I am sure it can be done for FAR less if those factors can be avoided.

[rocker]

:( fuck BMO Feild is a peice of crap!! ugh.....

don't be a drama queen. it's a fine little SSS.

[JonO]

^ Agreed. While I would love to have a stadium like RBA, I am happy with our little tin can for the next little while.

[habstfc]

I don't know if any of their games will be sellouts for red bulls mls games. I was on thier site screwing around trying to buy season tickets and there are plenty of seats in all areas for sale. it's safe to assume there are thousands of season seat location for sale still and the season starts next week.

[Free Agents]

Not gonna lie. Those pics look badass. Hopefully they can keep it filled.

[mr k]

not impressed with showing no respect for the turf with them driving cars on them
