The Blues go for their first victory in the Hudson River Derby.
On May 21, 2013, MLS announced the 20th team in its history: New York City FC. Nearly 20 years after MLS was supposed to launch with two teams in the New York area, it finally happened.
Last year, those two teams met on the field for the first time. Let's be honest: it wasn't close. The Blues were taking their first, tottering steps in the league; the Red Bulls were storming to their second Supporters' Shield in three years. For as much as we'd have loved to have painted Gotham blue, it was drenched in scarlet with the gore from three defeats.
