It was a match of fiscal efficiency against fiscal irresponsibility: New York with their well-paid designated players, Real Salt Lake with their modest salary statement well below cap as a small market team. In the end, there was only one…
With a win tonight, we would make it five matches won in a row and continue our very loud shout for the Supporters’ Shield. In the way is that team with the vaguely European flair from New Jersey, the New York Red Bulls — but do we have…
Two distinct things for you today: a match preview (that went quickly, didn’t it?) and a bit of a belated analysis of some trends I noticed during the Sporting KC match. Of course, you would be right to assume that I’ll veer around and…
