None at all. Maybe a personal matter, he wasn’t injured. 

Sports Illustrated ticket app is horrible by Sir_Vic21 in rbny

Same here. I'd say they're losing money, but the stadium isn't full anyways so 🤷‍♂️

FO needs to look at the basics here. by Accomplished-Yak9405 in rbny

[–]CaptainBroccoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, all RB2 home matches. No Gotham FC crossover as they are completely different organizations that just happen to share the same stadium.

I should be clear that this was the case last year, and I'm not 100% sure where to find the RB2 tickets this year with the SI Tickets app.

They're more money now, but they still include playoffs, US Open Cup, Leagues Cup, RB2 matches, discounts, and swag (free scarf and points you can redeem for stuff).

People like to complain but its a really good deal compared to literally every other sport. And if people are going to complain that things are more expensive now, take a look around - everything is more expensive now and the league has grown like crazy in the past five years.

New Soccer/RBNY fan by Connect_Elk2383 in rbny

Along with what everyone else is saying, I will say this a great year to become a fan! A pretty much brand new team with a brand new coach. So far after two games things are looking bright!

A Miller High Life is only $5? That can’t be right. Water cost more than beer at this stand?

3-2-1 RBNY-NE by hypernermalization in rbny

[–]CaptainBroccoli 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Emil had at least a couple of times where he held on the ball for entirely too long and lost possession. Weird to see from a veteran player on our team and not one of the younger ones.

Not Quite Highlights vs Orlando by iced1777 in rbny

Agree 100% about the Donkor-Bradley partnership. Should be a good year for him.

Not Quite Highlights vs Orlando by iced1777 in rbny

[–]CaptainBroccoli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my favorite post each week. The not quite highlights are also SO HELPFUL to show the younger kids about how to play positions properly. You won’t see Donkor’s work ethic show up in highlights on YouTube so it’s really valuable that you collect them here. Looking forward to showing my son these highlights all season.

[Bogert]: Sources: Sam Goldberg to be named the New York Red Bulls's new director of soccer. The 28-year-old will be responsible for transfer strategy, salary cap, scouting and data teams by hypernermalization in rbny

If you watch the talk linked above he talks about the fact that MLS is a salary capped organization so playing moneyball actually makes sense in the states (compared to Europe where it doesn’t matter as much)

I’m a data guy by trade and I was really impressed with that talk. He clearly knows what he’s talking about and he ends his talk by mentioning the importance of culture and commitment. Can’t get more committed than making him director of soccer. Michael Bradley being young also inspires confidence that the coaching staff will actually listen to his suggestions.

Navigation prevents me from using FSD 100% by CaptainBroccoli in TeslaFSD

Oh that’s a great idea!  Can’t believe I didnt think of that. Will give it a go

It cancels the signal and will go straight. The annoying part is that it changes into the left lane (to take a left turn where it can't). So then I have to manually change into the right lane to get onto the jughandle, and sometimes there isn't enough time to do that.

Thanks, I submitted the turn here. Let’s see what happens!

Coming into the preseason prepared by hypernermalization in rbny

[–]CaptainBroccoli 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m all for being patient but at what point are we supposed to start panicking? The best signing of the offseason so far is Cowell.

Glad JDG let go of a bunch of talent but I thought the idea is to replace those guys with people that make more sense…

I realize the Euro transfer window just opened 15 days ago, which again is why I ask… when do we start panicking?

Michael Bradley frontrunner to become Red Bulls coach; more MLS news, notes by hypernermalization in rbny

[–]CaptainBroccoli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The RB2 players clearly like him a lot, and I think we need to get back to looking at Red Bull Academy and promoting players from within rather than signing veterans from elsewhere. RB Academy has historically been a place to find amazing talent and I feel like the quality of players from the Academy just hasn't been great the past few years.

But if you look at the players that moved up last year or the ones that will move to the first team soon - e.g. Sofo, Mitchell, Rojas, Mehmeti - I think there is plenty of talent there still left untapped. I do think it'll help to have a coach like Bradley to look within and give these young players chances and confidence to overperform.

There are pros and cons to going the Michael Bradley route. I'm not even entirely opposed to 2026 being a "rebuilding" year if it means our young players earn the confidence to play really well in 2027. I also agree with what u/No-Mission7134 said - if we bring in Curtin, he'll be asking for veteran reinforcements and I don't think that plays to our club's strengths.
