This week a number of players will be paying out fines and/or sitting out games due to their past misdeeds, many were very avoidable.
RSL player Damirr Kreilach was fined for simulation on the 19th facing the Whitecaps.
Atlanta midfielder Jon Gallagher fined for what he did at 23' in the Miami game also on the 19th.
Colorado player Andre Shinyashiki also fined for simulation facing the Earrthquakes on the 23rd.
readSunday 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.
readIt 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.
readThis 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.
readSo 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.
