the Red Bulls will be relying on their young talent like White, Tom Barlow, David Archibald and Rece Buckmaster to become the team’s new stars

 

Who the hell is David Archibald???

 

And if Rece Buckmaster becomes a star, I'll eat my hat.

At 117 years of age, a LOT of experience!

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

It's a typo, we're signing Tiny Archibald. 

 

 

 

Also- while I am happy with the progress of young players like White & Barlow as inexpensive domestic options to fill out a roster- if anyone over at RBA is truly waiting on Rece Buckmaster to be "a star" as the article claims...holy piles of shit are we in trouble. He has a chance to be a serviceable MLS player and maybe down the line a starter if he continues to grow & improve (again, I used *maybe* in there). But star? GTFOH.

The league website is so bad that they literally made up a player.

If you scan YouTube looking for Bradley Wright-Phillips, youll find numerous goal compilations, a few interviews and, eventually, an excerpt from the grime mixtape series Lord of the Mics.

There's a high school senior who captains a team in the Boston area named Dan Archibald. That's the only thing I've been able to find.

Could the name David Archibald possibly have been some autocorrect thing gone wrong and then the writer and editor missed it?

The article is written in this humorous tone so it's possible the writer intentionally threw David Archibald in there as some kind of joke, but it's weird he would choose the name of an obscure dead player.

The "These are all real people" line makes me think it was a (pretty funny/brutal) joke about the no-names RB seems content to employ in their Harrison franchise location. Could just be MLS media ineptitute, but you'd have to think there are jokes going around the league about the guy RBNY mothballed Murillo for.

 

I hope our interim head coach when Armas is fired midseason speaks Spanish.


RED. BULL. OUT.

That's the joke? Is listing Brian White as a Duke graduate twice in one paragraph a joke as well?

They now have updated and removed "David Archibald" from the article.

The writer is a moron.

This is such a Mickey Mouse league.
