In honor of David Villa getting his 400th goal overall v Dallas, there is a pregame ceremony where he will get gifts from the team and NYC, a mural for fans to sign until halftime, limited edition posters to mark the milestone for sale, a video tribute and the first 10,000 fans get a captains armband.
To be fair, the home team of Chicago did send out the email first but I saw the notice from Red Bulls before theirs. The June 30 match pitting them against each other is now at 7p.m. CT, local time in Chicago. The game is to be carried on ESPN+ & Univision Deportes Chicago 1200 on the AM dial.
As the result of a nationwide bradcasting scheduling conflict, the game on June 30 has been moved to 8:p.m. ET. The game is of course still on YES live and the NYCFC Radio partners WNYR & WQBU. 
Daniel Royer who this year has picked up where he left off last year, the only difference being many of his shots, though well taken have been blocked, saved, hit the woodwork etc.. He was rewarded by his team with a multi year deal announced today, this follows his coming out party, the 2017 season. Sporting Director Dennis Hamlett had this to say, "Danny both fits our style of play and club culture and we look foward to him contributing to our continued success." The 27 year old Austrian had a tremdous 2017, over just 26 games he hit for 12 goals and 3 assists well over a point a game.
Red Bull has been goring the West thus far this year and hope to rule the Galaxy Saturday, follow them on MSG, MSG Go, ESPN+, New York Red Bulls Radio & #LAvRBNY. Overall NY is ahead in the series at 18-17-8 but at home they hold a slight edge with a 9-6-5 record. It has been feast or famine with RBNY as their 3-3-0 record is just below their hosts at 3-3-1. Pregame kicks off at 10 and the triHonda Red Bulls Game Night, then Steve Cangialosi has the play-by-play with Shep Messing and Michelle Gingras.
In a game they played well enough to win, had enough chances on goal but for the outstanding play of the Fire netminder, Richard Sanchez who had a tremendous game and the upper right corner of the goal frame (Royer) it is a different result. BWP continued his torrid pace getting yet another goal.
Return of the Ginger Nija as former captain Dax McCarty is back in town again. This year the Autisim Awareness match which we mentioned already is coming up in scant hours. The 3-2-0 home team face the Fire at 1-3-1 kicking off at 3:30 Univision, UDN, ESPN+ and Red Bulls Radio will have it for you as well. At 3, New York Red Bulls radio pregames with the triHonda Countdown, hosted by Matt Harmon with Stever Jolly. Ernesto Motta has the play by play in Spanish for them . To do their part for the cause of the day , $3 of each ticket bought will go to Autism Speaks.
Creighton product Lucas Stauffer has inked a deal on an USL contract with the team earlier this week. A major player over his 4 years at Creighton he was in 66 games with 9 goals and 12 assists. Picked in the MLS Superdraft by the Whitecaps he is now more than pleased to be with NY.
Group B play in this tourney has begun for the US team and they opened in style with a large margin of victory along with the shutout. Costa Rica did not help themselves with an own goal and the 3 headed goals for the US. In control from opening to closing whistles, the own goal came at just 4 minutes follolwed by the first headed one by Peyton Linnehan at 15 minutes. The 2nd half saw Kennedy Wesley and Sophia Jones tally from corner kicks. See all the goals @ussoccer_ynt.
