The last few months have not been a happy time for Red Bulls fans. In early November the team was humiliated and tossed out of the playoffs by Montreal Impact (the first time the team had ever lost to them at home). Days later, fans could only watch in frustration as Sacha Kljestan was left on the bench by Jurgen Klinsmann in humiliating USMNT losses to Mexico and Costa Rica. Early in December, Kljestan and Golden Boot winner Bradley Wright-Phillips were both snubbed for the MLS MVP award in favor of NYC FC arch-rival David Villa.
