Anyone watch? Three pretty crazy goals. Feilhaber with an incredible pass to spring Dwyer, followed by BWP magic. Some people just know how to score. What happened with SKC? Collin and Besler used to be one of the best CB pairings in MLS. I'm not a RB fan, but it is nice to see Henry get a few more games in, he looked legitimately stoked to be moving on. The playoff series going forward look pretty intriguing.
(I looked for a thread and didn't see one, if I missed it, I'll delete)
I didn't think the first goal was ever gonna come for RBNY. What a pass from Luyindula to spring Henry. Once that goal came the second was a matter of time, though the defending on that play was shambolic.
It was a great win in a really interesting tactical game (I love Petke but he isn't on Vermes's level yet as a manager), but it's gonna be tough to beat DC over two legs. The finishing has to be much better Sunday. Gotta take a couple goals down to that shithole in DC.
The winning goal was blown by SKC, but the result was well deserved by RBNY.
Hope Henry stays one more year with the Red Bulls.

It was interesting...when Luyindula first came on for Alexander Henry pushed up basically as a left winger. After they equalized he came back quite a bit and was often collecting the ball just in front of the defense to begin the attack.
I'm not a huge Henry fan...I suspect his attitude, work rate, and enormous paycheck compared to his teammates has caused some friction. But the quality of his technique can't be denied. Both striking the ball and with the ball at his feet...he still has very few peers globally in these areas. France could have used him to try to break down Germany in the World Cup this summer. Unbelievable talent.
Good deal for Red Bull fans.
