Now for New York Red Bulls, it’s nice and all to have players. In this case, three represent the stars and stripes on the world soccer scene, especially come Russia in 2018.
But for 2017, times will be rough when they lose their number one goalkeeper, team captain, and assist king for portions of the season as the lion’s share of qualifiers will be in the coming months ending in November.
They will either be without their services of midfielders Sacha Kljestan and Dax McCarty and goalie Luis Robles or have tired facsimiles of themselves which will not help the Red Bulls get to the next level in MLS which in their plans includes a run at an MLS Championship.
