"Forget returning to the Metrostars; we should be called FC Revolving Door and be done with it." - Voice of Reason II

 

"The plus side of watching this team for so long is that nothing remotely surprises me anymore. Henry could have taken his shorts off and cocksmacked someone to earn a red, and all I would have said is "That's so Metro." - Regulator

"In between soccer games this weekend, I played 36 holes of golf with my dad. Playing golf, I realized, is a bit like watching the Red Bulls play. Both can have the tendency to feel like self-inflicted torture. You wonder why you do it at all. But when it’s over, you can’t wait to do it again. To New England we go, then." - Andrew Keh

"In the Church they say that suffering is good for the soul. I like to view my love for this team as being a spiritual exercise." - Steve B2

A big "fuck that" to the 30 or so national flags paraded before the game?

Its "The world's game in the world's city," if you havent been paying attention.

if I understand correctly, the flag tifo wasn't meant to be some sort of statement of appreciation or allegiance toward any particular country. FYI, there were England, Poland, and Austria national flags included as part of the tifo. They were picked because they were red and white, not because of an intended desire to make an overt political or cultural statement. I honestly thought people would be complaining about the Austrian flags as pandering to our corporate overlords, not the English flags since one of our favorite players is English, but whatever.
RedBull gives you wings...and the wings given to the RBNY marketing/PR team were from a Dodo bird.

RedBull on our chests, Metro in our hearts
