Six Degrees: A Sinking Ship?

This week, we had two games, got one point, and scored zero goals. All at home. How ya like them apples?

1) I’m always a bit torn when we play the New York Red Bulls, because they’re easily my second favorite MLS team.

It’s not an emotional attachment. I don’t love the Red Bulls, I just love the way they play. Anytime I get a chance to watch them take on some other team, I enjoy the hell out of it. The way they press like madmen, the way they switch from defense to attack in a heartbeat, the way they ping the ball around the box, the way the send a first wave of attackers, then a second wave, then a third wave.
