The Return of the King, Thierry Henry at RBA
September 26, 2020
by Sean McCaffery

Sunday at 7 p.m. ET, do not miss the return of TH to RBA on MSG, MSG Go or New York Red Bulls Radio. The home team has a distinct advantage at home as it is 9-1-0 and overall still good at 10-7-2. Montreal is improved, Red Bull will have to play at least as well as they did facing Miami to win as there is but one point separating these two teams going into game day.

Interestingly enough, their curent gaffer has the RBNY lead in goals and assists facing his current charges, 9 goals and 4 assists as RBNY has outscored the Impact at home 29-10.

NYCFC Loses the Game and Heber
September 25, 2020
by Sean McCaffery

It seems none of the subs worked out for Rony Delia, one gets a caution shortly after going in, another lost for the season. Forget the score line, the loss of Heber is season long and impactful. With Maxi still not back to fitness, the offense took a massive blow. We were half a section up in the seats and at the midpoint of the goal, he went down, hard and his defender was calling for the doctors as soon as he hit the floor then for the stretcher as well long before the ref or teammates.

Heber out for the rest of 2020
September 25, 2020

This was bad, as soon as he went down, his defender was signalling for the trainer as well as a stretcher as Heber lay on the ground. He stayed with him all the way until he was removed from the field. His right ACL is torn. He will soon go under the knife and begin a painstaking recovery, he has one of the best spirits I have ever encountered and I expect him to come even better.  Boa Sorte Heber.

NYRB 4-1 Inter Miami CF
September 25, 2020

So many firsts here, the first time NYB has played in South Florida in well over a decade, the first time facing Inter Miami, the first time facing ex-captain Luis Robles, the first game facing each other for the Nealis brothers of Massapequa.

As we were at the NYCFC game at RBA of all places, we were unable to see the game live, but did watch a re-broadcast yesterday. A massive thank you to Shep Messing for remarking on a question I put to Sean Nealis during a press event relative to who his family would be rooting for.

MLS & Pluto Re-Up
September 24, 2020
by Sean McCaffery

To this day, I still do not know if Pluto is once again a planet or just a rock and Disney character, but that is for another day. 

In a release from MLS, Pluto TV is described as "the leading free streaming television service." Quite the misnomer if it is on them the lack of quality in both audio and video of recent games I have watched. Minutes have passsed with no video and I saw more of their dead screen image than those games.
