Im so happy that we rested our players on tuesday night so they would be ready for this game...

Another FAIL!

When will redbull realize they need to clean house over there? Start with the epic failure of Jeff Agoos, and follow it up with the horrific Boyens and Mendes just to start.

Ok, I get it, you dont want to take the Open Cup seriously, but it also looks like you dont want to take the MLS seriously either.

Awesome. Nothing less than what I'd expect from a top notch team who doesn't give a crap. Great job from the organization top to bottom. Seriously, the fans appreciate it.

Why bother posting? There's no one reading who cares...

I assume each audio clip is 2 seconds long and they just say "we suck."

this was beautiful.....I really enjoyed watching it.....we have a back line that is so confused and out of it.....guys running all over the place in the box.....they can't cross a ball when overlapping.....and whatever.....the midfield provides constant unforced turnovers and cant deliver service upfront.....the front line has this clown Echeverry jogging around like he is on holiday......what a mess......wonder if anyone in the front office watched the game...what is the limit on brining players in during the transfer window....oh yeah - Claudio - thanks for missing another game and sucking down your big fat salary....when you have played in less games than you have missed -time to give back the money.....

I was at the game last night; don't know how things looked on TV, but in person, the team defensive issues were glaring.

The first two finishes by the Rapids were excellent, but the lack of defensive pressure and the poor marking (and concomitant excellent build-up and organization of the Rapids' attack) delivered those goals on a silver platter.

I've never really disliked Boyens as much as some of my compatriots, but I've never seen him live either (until last night). He was slow and inadequate; even perfect position will not help him make up for a wretched lack of pace.

The atmosphere was great, the fireworks were fantastic, and playing on the gorgeous pitch after the game with my kids was wonderful. Too bad I'm not a Rapids fan--it would have been a perfect night. In fact, just one decent attacking sequence, from RBNY, preferably finished with a goal (just one!?), would have been nice...

Man am I glad I was asleep during this game. I'm sure it was simply another horrible display of football. Those defenders that we just signed can't come quick enough.

Go Red Bulls, hey we lost, but we lost with such style and grace... lol, I can't wait to get my season tickets for next season, which will be on a public pitch the way we play. Thank you so much Red Bulls.

Seriously, we need to get rid of the following:

Goldthwaite
Mendez
Boyens
Echeverry
Conway
Parke

Why are we not playing (we have nothing to lose):

Roth
Schramm
Zack Thorton or patterson-Sewell

why would you want to get rid of Conway and Parke -- two of our four best performers thus far this season?

Drop Boyens, Leitch, Magee, and Ech.
Sign Rojas, Cichero, Pietravallo, and a forward replacement for Jozy.

Then I think we'll be good to go.

Keep Mendes, Parke, & Conway they actually have heart and want to play... Get rid of everyone else on the back line. Wynne & Donivant are really being missed right now !!

Hey Buddy, where are stadium updates? Geez, the team isn't doing too great, so why not at least concentrate on building the darn thing? This is little league organization and not sure why I support the team.

At least our players were well refreshed for the beating against the rapids! Thank you Juan Carlos Osorio. This guy should be fired! Claudio should be let go. Too bad for Juan Pablo Angel whom I am sure didn't sign up for this.

Oh and you want me to pay double the ticket price to see this team against Galaxy....NO FREAKING WAY!

PLEASE MLS GIVE US ANOTHER TEAM IN NYC BECAUSE THIS ONE SUCKS!

"Thank you Juan Carlos Osorio. This guy should be fired!"

You know nothing about this sport if you think this is Osorio's problem. Osorio is the best coach for this club and I love how Red Bull Reader left out the comment when Osorio said he couldn't wait till July 15 so he could get rid of the players who haven't shown up and get better players.

No other coach in MLS would have said that, he didn't just call out his player he pretty much said, some of you are going out because your not good enough, that's the coach we need, he will get us the players we need, he already got 3 and there prolly be more to come, hopefully. It's not the coach it's the players, they don't fit into his system or at least haven't shown that they are trying to.

I see teams like LA who don't have that great of a team overall but Ruud made them fit into his system and look at them now, our player either are too dumb to fit into Osorios system or they don't want to, either way they will be gone and we will have a better team hopefully soon.
