Red Bull Rant

The New York Red Bulls seem to actually be taking the US Open Cup seriously. They dispatched the Silverbacks 3-0. They applied to host the next two rounds of the tournament and got rewarded with a lucky draw. We talk about that and more with this week’s guest: Eric Giacometti of mlssoccer.com. In the third segment we discuss Dempsey’s action, and take a look at the matches against the Vancouver Whitecaps & Real Salt Lake. Musical Credits: True Believers by Bouncing Souls

Another week and another win for the Red Bu...wait, they lost? Really? They gave up 4 goals in 1 half? That makes no sense at all. How did the New York Red Bulls lose 4-2 to the Houston Dynamo? Something isn’t right in the land of Red Bull. The guys are joined by Austin Fido to try to make sense of it, and propose a fix to the World Cup that will revolutionize the tournament. Lastly they run down the US’ recent success, look at the Red Bulls upcoming Open Cup match, and a Red Bull Rant moment featuring Taylor Twellman.

The Red Bulls managed to take the lead in Seattle, and then for the first time ever in 2015, lost a game from a leading position. FIFA is also still in the news, but possibly for one of the best reasons ever. Dan Feuerstein calls in to give his opinion on it. Dave Martinez goes to Cuba, and then talks to us? It may sound crazy, but it happened. Finally the guys preview Houston, give their two cents on FIFA, and relive another RBR moment in the walk to Episode 150.

A 2-0 loss to the Philadelphia Union. A bunch of FIFA Officials get arrested in the US and Switzerland. A match away to the Seattle Sounders. These are tough times being a New York Red Bulls fan. Is there any silver lining? Maybe it’s food? Reminder: There are only a few shows left until the old Red Bull Rant feeds go dark; make sure to subscribe to the new ones.

A scoreless draw in Dallas where the Red Bulls were snubbed and MLS/Univision got it wrong. Rich Ransom of Brotherly Game joins the show to talk the match against the Union. Pat MacDonald check ins with the man on the dance floor while Jason & Truman hold it down in his absence. Another RBR moment on the way to Episode 150 and some Open Cup news wraps up the episode.

They’re joined by Rafa Noboa y Rivera of Hudson River Blue to talk about the match against New York City FC. In the final segment, they give their predictions, Tuman’s Bad Team of the Week, and Jason has been a busy guy. They finish off with the first of the 10 best moments in the leadup to episode 150.
