Red Bull Rant 226: Battle on the Roof of the World: Jason is off baking cookies again, so it’s up to Pat and Truman to grumble over another away loss. So much dislike, very little to like about the 1-0 defeat against the Footie Habs, but the guys get through it. Then they talk about the upcoming US Open Cup home game against Smurf City FC. A little bit of USMNT, Sky Blue, Goldy going away, amazing Millwall fan, and conspiracy theories round out the show, followed up by Truman’s Terrible Team of ...

What’s better than a 3-0 loss on the road to a winless Philadelphia Union? Following that up with a very terrible 3-1 loss AT HOME to a struggling LA Galaxy. Who’s to blame? Some say the players, some say the coach, some say a little of both. All we know is that the New York Red Bulls are in serious trouble in the midst of a home stand. Can the Red Bulls turn things around against the Montreal Impact? Will the Red Bulls be able to end the month of May as hot as the summer will be? Can they get t...

Man, a two game week. The New York Red Bulls sure have been busy. How did they fare in their two games? Well Dax McCarty and Bastian Schweinsteiger came to burn down Red Bull Arena, but the Red Bulls were able to put out the Chicago Fire with a 2-1 victory. How did that follow that up? With a 2-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City with a squad that was half starters, half reserves. That’s OK though, we all knew the Red Bulls would have trouble against SKC. The real test will be if the Red Bulls can fi...

Guess who’s back this week. Is it Dax McCarty returning to Red Bull Arena for the first time since he was traded away? No. Is it the New York Red Bulls who seemed to turn it around with two straight two goal victories? No. Did Ali Curtis somehow make his way back to the Red Bulls? No. Jason is back after a two week hiatus from the Red Bull Rant! Oh, there’s some talk of the Red Bulls’ winning ways and Dax coming back, but more importantly, we’re back to a 3 man desk!

What’s this episode about? Good question, because Jason is off again but has still been given the assignment of writing show notes. The New York Red Bull’s win against D.C. United of course is up for discussion. The upcoming match against the Columbus Crew. How to properly say Alex Muyl’s name has to be talked about, I mean, Truman put his name in the damn episode title. That’s all I guess, find out for sure by listening.

What was talked about on this week’s Red Bull Rant? That’s a good question since Jason, who wrote this episode information, wasn’t on the show this week. The New York Red Bulls’ loss to Orlando City is probably on the docket. The same goes for the upcoming match against D.C. United. After that, who knows? Most likely it’s total anarchy.

How bad was the New York Red Bulls’ 4-1 loss to the Houston Dynamo? The game brought up more questions than answers. Can the Red Bulls offense actually score more than one goal per game? Will the backline ever not suffer an injury during a match? Will #WTFotis become a top trend on twitter? Can the Red Bulls stop what appears to be a sinking ship?

Red Bull Rant 216: The Rotten Egg The New York Red Bulls hosted a Real Salt Lake team that just fired it’s coach, and was missing some staters due to injury and international duty. So how do the Red Bulls handle it? By giving up a %$#^& 0-0 draw at home. Maybe the Red Bulls can bounce back against the Houston Dynamo? Will the return of Sacha Kljestan help the midfield and get the team into scoring ways? Or will Own Goal still be the leading scorer for the Red Bulls in MLS play? It’s also Wre...

Well, so much for the undefeated start. The 3-1 loss to the Seattle Sounders was not so great, but at least it’s early in the season. The New York Red Bulls at least get to experience some home cooking when they host a Real Salt Lake team that fired their head coach three weeks into the season. Can they take advantage of the turmoil? Or will international departures be too much to overcome? Meanwhile, will Sacha Kljestan help the United States Men’s Team get out of the hole they are in for World...

Are the New York Red Bulls really undefeated to start the season? Please tell me this isn’t a joke, I can’t handle it after that CONCACAF Champions League debacle. It really happened? Oh, it was via another own goal? Well, I’ll take it anyway I can get it I guess. Can the Red Bulls keep it going when they travel to Seattle and take on the defending MLS Cup Champions Seattle Sounders? Which Seattle player will provide the Red Bulls with an own goal? Can the Red Bulls double it and make it four ow...

2017 has officially started for the New York Red Bulls. They kicked it off by hosting the Vancouver Whitecaps in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinals. What did they do with the opportunity? They let Vancouver walk away with a 1-1 draw and an away goal advantage. They’ll have a chance to turn it around on Thursday when they head to the Pacific Northwest for the second leg. After hopefully advancing in the Champions League, the Red Bulls head down to Atlanta to welcome Atla...

First it was Dax McCarty being traded to the Chicago Fire. Now, it’s Ali Curtis and the New York Red Bulls “mutually” agreeing to part ways. Is there going to be any more movement of big names out of the Red Bulls’ camp? Well, no time to dwell on those no longer with the team we suppose. The Red Bulls have already had preseason matches against New York City FC, the New England Revolution, the Portland Timbers, Real Salt Lake, and FC Tucson, but it’s time for the first official match of 2017.

Dax McCarty is gone. The New York Red Bulls have traded him to the Chicago Fire for $400,000 in allocation money. The Ginger Ninja is no longer the captain of the Red Bulls and that makes us sad. The Red Bull Rant boys recorded a special episode to talk about the news after it broke. They read reactions from twitter and e-mail while supplying their own take on the news. Can they wrap their heads around the most recent move by Ali Curtis? Can any of us? What will the future hold in store for the ...

It’s been a quiet few months since the New York Red Bulls bowed out of the playoffs against the Montreal Impact. Maybe the Red Bulls would be making some moves to improve, especially since they are in the knockout rounds of the CONCACAF Champions League. Right? ...Right? Please tell me I’m right. No? Oh, I guess that’s great… Did they at least announce some offseason plans so I know when to watch? What’s that? They haven’t but other teams have? Hm, well, there must be some reason to it, right?

The New York Red Bulls season ended in the beginning of November. A few weeks of self reflection was needed before the Red Bull Rant boys would be ready to take a look at the 2016 season. Well, that time has come. The guys sit down with not one, but two guests to look back on the year that was in 2016. First they talk to Matt Doyle, the Armchair Analyist of mlssoccer.com while discussing the Red Bulls, the US Men’s Team, the MLS playoff format. Second, they talk to Dave Martinez of Empire of Soc...

Welp, that was fun wasn’t it? Jason was lucky in that he didn’t have to watch this game since it got spoiled, but man, what a rough two hour stretch. Thank you New York Red Bulls. Thank you for once again getting to the playoffs and failing to deliver. Thank you for not showing up in Game 1. Thank you for at least pulling the band-aid off early though so we can enjoy the rest of November and December in peace. Again, at least you weren’t New York City FC. So what’s next for the Red Bull Rant boy...

The New York Red Bulls entered the 2016 MLS Playoffs as the top team in the Eastern Conference. Going off of their first match against the Montreal Impact, you wouldn’t know it. In a series where away goals are almost counted double, the Red Bulls, and every other higher seed in the playoffs, did nothing with that. A 1-0 loss to Montreal was not a good result to the first round. Can the Red Bulls make it right and take the series at home? They’ll need a big performance as a 2 or more goal win on...

The New York Red Bulls are off to the playoffs, and they are off there with a two to nothing goal win over the Philadelphia Union in their final match. Oh, the Baby Bulls also took care of business against Swope Park Rangers in the USL Cup Finals with a major 5-0 victory. Brandon Allen was a tour de force as he also took home the USL Cup MVP Honors. The MLS side though can’t bask in the success of the youngsters though, they have a series coming up as they travel north of the border to take on t...

It was yet another busy day for the New York Red Bulls organization. The MLS side got some wonderful help from former member Lloyd Sam and the worst team ever, D.C. United, who beat out New York City FC, handing first in the East to the Red Bulls. Of course, that alone wouldn’t be enough. The Red Bulls took care of their own business (barely) when they took Columbus Crew SC from the playoff picture with a nail biting 3-2 win. The USL side faced off against Louisville City FC in the Eastern Confe...

The New York Red Bulls were off this week, but a few players were on international duty, with Sacha Kljestan seeing a lot of playing time with the United States. Oh, the baby bulls were having an exciting time of things in the USL Playoffs. A few lead changes. A penalty kick in Extra Time to force penalties, and a wild miss to see New York Red Bulls II through into the Semifinals with a chance to make the USL Championship match. The New York Red Bulls will get back at it on Sunday when they host...

So the New York Red Bulls had a match against the Philadelphia Union. They came back from a goal deficit, gave up a one goal lead, then won the game. It was an exciting affair for all involved, well, unless you are a Union fan but whatever, you have to live in Philadelphia, so a loss is still a win. Meanwhile, New York Red Bulls II continued their fantastic form in USL, dispatching Orlando City B in the first round of the playoffs by a 4-0 scoreline. Next up is the defending USL Champions, the R...

Hey, that Roy guy is pretty good! Wait, his name isn’t Roy Miller? What’s his name, Daniel Royer? Well, I guess that’s good, as long as he doesn’t put a free kick into the upper deck, he can call himself Roy all he wants, especially if the team manages to not drop a 2 goal lead. Granted, they never had a 2 goal lead against the Montreal Impact, but still, it’s an improvement. Oh hey, the New York Red Bulls also had a CONCACAF Champions League match this week? A tie in CONCACAF on the road? That’...

On the heels of the Red Bull Rant live 200th episode, how did the New York Red Bulls celebrate? With a 3-3 draw which included a blown 2 goal lead! It really is impressive how thoughtful the players and coaching staff are. They obviously don’t want us to gush over a win, they really want us to live up to the “Rant” part of our name. I mean really, 6 draws in their last 12 games came from dropping two goal leads. They really must want us to talk about it right? At this point, we can’t imagine any...

A win on the road? Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? It may have been because of a fluky goal, but a win is a win, and the New York Red Bulls officially have their second road win of the year.

Sky Blue FC unfortunately missed the playoffs after a rough four day stretch. Oh, there’s also t...
