What tools has Hamlett given Armas? Seriously?
Our MLS signings since Armas took the helm all played with NYRBII today (Epps, Jorgensen, Nealis and Koffi). Omir Fernandez is a rookie that would have signed with this club regardless of Sporting Director.
Based on the rumblings I have heard Armas has asked numerous times for players to be moved or to bring in certain players and Hamlett isn't getting it done. Meanwhile, Hamlett is in bed with Austria and in a safe spot.
I smell an empty Red Bull Arena.
Both the business unit and sporting unit of RBNY are disasters that arent holding themselves accountable (at the highest levels in MdG and Hamlett).
I wont be spending another dime on anything RBNY related until at least one side makes positive changes.
The curse of the Nines is real.
Or maybe should it be the curse of Lothar, since his stringing us along forced us to gut the roster and tank the 99 season.
Today is the anniversary of the Curse of Caricola. When we lost 1-0. To the New England Revolution.
I understand cold water has already been thrown on this, but since he was with the team I always thought he'd be a great coach, if he controlled his ego. Biggest issue would be that he is a perfectionist and players would likely grow tired of that rather quickly.
Seems I was spot on. Golovin came out just yesterday and said that Henry would go crazy during practices when things weren't perfect and play "get the ball" from him. Stated he hasn't killed the player inside of him.
3 goals in 5 games in China's second division!
He scored two of them in the last match, on pretty easy set-ups (one corner, one touch in the box)... then in true Abang fashion, he received a red card for throwing his fist out at an opponent's face when he had the ball. Good riddance.
This team has talent but looks horrendous. That's coaching. With how quickly Hamlett has been firing some of the academy coaches, have to wonder how quickly being the "best MLS points total" loses its shine for Armas.

How did RB U-23 qualify?
Ranked 11th in USL-2, which qualified only 10?
NPSL qualified 14. Brooklyn ranked 17th, FC Monmouth 29th.
SIMA Aguilas, Myrtle Beach Mutiny, and Colorado Rapids U23 all folded, allowing Red Bulls U23 to qualify along with Lakeland Tropics and The Villages.
NPSL allocates based on rank, but also on size of the region and number of teams in the region. Each conference needs to be represented starting with spot 9, which allows for some lower seeded teams to get in.

#1343552 2019 Parley Jersey Leak - Black and Aqua?
I find it hard to believe that people care much about these outside of jersey collecting geeks and those who feel the need to buy every new kit.
1:1 draw with Nashville. Brian White goal from an Epps cross. Very physical and direct game didn't allow for many players to stand out. Mike Grella was in attendance. Heard he was calling the game.
Edgardo Rito made his debut. Mixed thoughts on him so far, but good overall.
Alex Bobocea was the backup keeper for Louro today. Nuhu was sitting with the players not in uniform again.
For me personally, proud Dad moment on getting my son to his first match and he loved it!
Barlow, Mines and Elney were subs used.
The grey jersey will be for sale this week. Also nicer than the first teams' new one.
Robles with a yellow at the end of the match after going off on the officials. Not sure what in particular it was. Maybe still angry with Chapman from 2015?
7 corner kicks. Did any result in a shot on goal? Perhaps a dozen set plays shouldn't be the way to approach.
Just needed one of Rza, Beze or Davis to have a good match. None did.
how have Koffi and Yanes looked?
Koffi looked very good in the first half. Wasn't called on as much in the second half. Yanes looked great in the second half. Had a shaky first half though, which may be why SPR attacked his side more in the second half. Had a few great moments.
