New York Red Bulls vs. Philadelphia Union Preview - Once A Metro
Today is very much the day. The New York Red Bulls play the evil Philadelphia Union tonight at Red Bull Arena in a match that could well decide whether we see any more Red Bulls football in 2011. As I'm writing this, Portland and the swamp denizens of DC United have just tied a crazy game 1-1, which means that the Red Bulls can win or draw tonight in order to secure a playoff spot.
You know how some say we all have a so-called body double ... a kindred spirit, if you will ... somewhere in the world? I think I know who Philadelphia Union manager Peter Nowak's might be.
