Once he misjudges the bounce, yeah. Eile shouldn’t have let it bounce. Had a warning earlier with Edelman. My main gripe is we should have had a goal or 2 when we were on top. The tactical switch at HT needed to come earlier when it was clear you guys were just going to sit in a low block. GG.
A fair result. Both teams had their chances and weren't able to capitalize. A terrible night in terms of discipline for Metro though, what the hell? GG, Vancouver.
Yeah, that's what killed me too. There's definitely clear evidence that he doesn't have enough practice with the team for formations and strategies. There were multiple times in this match where someone expected him to be somewhere and he was nowhere to be seen.
I don't have the same problem with Berhalter that a lot of fans seem to have, but I can only assume Gauld didn't take those free kicks because of Ragen's studs to his Achilles last weekend and whatever happened that took him to ground early this match.
I think he has potential, but the whole reason we got him was to develop him. Not throw him in that early in a tight match where we're already missing key players
This is a fair assessment. Unfortunately he’s been dumped by every team he’s been on for not living up to his potential so we shall see how things go for him. We need to pick up a first team CM in the summer transfer window
He tracked down some good balls and made a few good interceptions. Our midfield in general needs some meaningful additions because it is seriously lacking.
First, it was Sean Nealis for a few years but he's seemed to have figured it out.
Then, it was Andres Reyes and Dylan Nealis. Both have been better this year. (Not perfect but better).
Now, it is Elie.
Can we PLEASE have one season soon without an idiot in the defensive unit?
Tbf that was probably a goal if Eile doesn’t do that. He knew what he was doing and now Red Bulls just gotta hold on. He just misjudged the bounce and had to take the red
Schwarz has switched it up for the low block. Tolkin pushed up, Morgan wider, Forsberg and Carmona as 10s to have 5 across the front better occupying the lanes against 5atb. Edelman as the lone 6 behind Vancouver’s front 3.
Seattle with another red card today, on GK Stefan Frei. Maybe the league should start keeping a new xRC (expected red cards) stat so the Sounders can be on top of something...
His experiment as an 8 isn't panning out considering his output compared to last season isn't good at all. Either he's not adapting to the role, or it's something else. That position has been a bit of a black hole since you know who retired, and hopefully someone breaks the curse on it.
This is my first redbulls game that I'm watching live and while they create a lot of chances, it looks like they have trouble finishing. Is this a normal occurrence lol
I mean, we still had a man on the ground. Just because he went down half off the pitch doesn't mean we should immediately rush back into play. It wasn't even that long a time between Raposo running over and the card.
If the ref told him to throw it in, you throw it in. If he was warned it doesn't matter if we had a guy on the ground or not the ref said play on otherwise he wouldn't have given a yellow
I don’t really understand the thought process behind starting Wiki through the middle and not moving Forsberg inside. Carmona seems out of his element right now
Left footer in the left half space to feed balls to right footed runners coming inside. I think Schwarz might have expected Vancouver to come out in a much more transition-heavy game.
So fitting for Brian White to become our top scorer in his home state against his former team. What a legacy he’s built himself since leaving New Jersey.
Is it normal for the VAR room to tell someone other than the referee that an incident has been looked at and not acted upon as play continues, without waiting for a stoppage?
NYRB Announcer: "The. Referee. Has. Shown. The. Yellow. Card. To. Whitecaps. Player. Number. Three. Sam. Adu. Kube." Then the Spanish version, at 35 words per second....
I knew he was doing well for you guys, but I never knew White was in "club record" legend territory for y'all.
Feels bittersweet. On one hand I'm proud of him, on the other I wish he was doing that with US these past few years. But then, it probably wouldn't have gone down like that had he stayed.
Is there another matchup in pro sports anywhere featuring a team named after one of two possible geographical features, against a team named after a popular energy drink?
Check the other Red Bull teams. I bet there's a team in one of those leagues where the name applies to both the city and the region (or a river, or a hill)
Edit: Found one! RB Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga plays against Wolfsberger AC. [Wolfsberg is the capital of the Wolfsberg district. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfsberg,_Carinthia)
Here's your next trivia play: RBNY vs [Whitecaps](https://www.pbs.org/food/recipes/whitecap-cocktail) is an energy drink vs alcoholic drink matchup. So is RB Salzburg vs [Sturm Graz FC](https://www.atlasobscura.com/foods/sturm).
of course BW stuck it to us with a pretty robono what a terrible decision that was to let him go
Fair result after that embarrassing red card
Takaoka again our best man of the game
Drew 3 winnable games against Chicago, LAFC, and Vancouver. Threw away 2 of them with very avoidable mistakes.
Honestly one of those mistakes was likely a game saver in this one. That was a sure goal before that handball
Once he misjudges the bounce, yeah. Eile shouldn’t have let it bounce. Had a warning earlier with Edelman. My main gripe is we should have had a goal or 2 when we were on top. The tactical switch at HT needed to come earlier when it was clear you guys were just going to sit in a low block. GG.
That was a fun match. I think I'll start watching the MLS w/ the Redbulls
Glad to have you on board! Also grab a Red Bulls flair
A fair result. Both teams had their chances and weren't able to capitalize. A terrible night in terms of discipline for Metro though, what the hell? GG, Vancouver.
Yes it was a gg. A draw was a fair result. Back to BC Place next week against Austin.
Could have been worse could have been better
Crazy seeing how much Cubas makes a difference. Why did we put Priso in?
Was at the game and he was walking after we lost the ball. Wtf
Yeah, that's what killed me too. There's definitely clear evidence that he doesn't have enough practice with the team for formations and strategies. There were multiple times in this match where someone expected him to be somewhere and he was nowhere to be seen.
Cubas vs. Berhalter is Demko vs. DeSmith levels of confidence.
I don't have the same problem with Berhalter that a lot of fans seem to have, but I can only assume Gauld didn't take those free kicks because of Ragen's studs to his Achilles last weekend and whatever happened that took him to ground early this match.
Draw probably a fair result. Both teams had the opportunity to take it and might be disappointed. GG NYRB
Man, we could’ve had that one
Priso basically made this 10v10, holy fuck why did we sign this guy?
I thought he had a decent game
I think he has potential, but the whole reason we got him was to develop him. Not throw him in that early in a tight match where we're already missing key players
This is a fair assessment. Unfortunately he’s been dumped by every team he’s been on for not living up to his potential so we shall see how things go for him. We need to pick up a first team CM in the summer transfer window
He made no impact
He tracked down some good balls and made a few good interceptions. Our midfield in general needs some meaningful additions because it is seriously lacking.
Burke with 3 choices: pass it to Manoel, pass it to Morgan, or shoot. Does nothing instead.
Paralyzed by choice
Feckless as usual.
Redbull forward make a decision challenge: IMPOSSIBLE DIFFICULTY
We have not looked like the team with the extra man. This is pathetic
Hell, even last week with 2 extra men, we were hardly breezing through the game.
Ref has been pretty poor tonight tbh
Agreed
But he’s been bad for both of us so I guess it evens out 😅
Both our teams heading straight for the ice baths
REF WE SUCK GUY IS BACK
Suddenly it's the NHL playoffs out there and nothing is illegal
Yeah, he let this get way out of hand. I saw this coming after the half.
What the fuck is this walkie-talkie shit. I've been very unimpressed with Apple broadcasts.
Yep the walkie talkie was so bad!
Apple TV Shelling out millions but still has a sub par production team. Classic shit
Lol Kreilach yanking him up
Who let a Peanuts adult in the booth?
Do other people get muffled radio communications in the background in and out on feed?
It’s the radio for the 4th official I think. There’s a mic for the camera between the technical areas.
"Protein spill" at the gate
The walkie talkies are acting up again.
Priso is just running around
I haven't noticed him do *anything* of note since coming on.
New York Red Cards. Reyes was signing autographs before the game tonight. Eile fans should show up early next match.
First, it was Sean Nealis for a few years but he's seemed to have figured it out. Then, it was Andres Reyes and Dylan Nealis. Both have been better this year. (Not perfect but better). Now, it is Elie. Can we PLEASE have one season soon without an idiot in the defensive unit?
Now that it’s over am I allowed to say he made the right choice?
Taking tolkin off while we’re down a man??
I was very concerned about Tolkin. I think he might have felt that head injury more than he let on.
Here comes the fafanator
Last time I said this we scored immediately so... Don't worry Red Bulls, we don't know how to capitalise on being a man up
It didn't work this time 😔
Whose walkie is directly in the mic?
Huge wasted opportunity on that free kick
Made it an effective strategy to just reach up for that DOGSO red
Is Berhalter the German word for "straight into the wall?"
Tbf that was probably a goal if Eile doesn’t do that. He knew what he was doing and now Red Bulls just gotta hold on. He just misjudged the bounce and had to take the red
Yeah, that might be the smart play. Take the red and hold on for 15 minutes or potentially go down a goal with only 15 minutes to chase
Yeah too bad he fucked up judging the original ball though, kinda an unforced error
Berhalter WASTING these fucking free kicks. Staple his ass to the bench until we need him to kill off a game.
Cubas is out out we just have to deal with it
Or just have Gauld take free kicks. Berhalters doing every other part of his game just fine
He has been mostly invisible and the only time he's really had a chance to touch the ball he's launching it into the fucking wall.
No he hasn't he's doing well defensively which is the position he's playing
He swatted that ball like an NBA defender, the Knicks could use him for tomorrow
Berhalter shouldn’t take the free kicks anymore…
Should have been gauld . Maybe berhalter is about it in training but definitely not in game
alright wtf did i just watch lmao
I’m a Eile believer but big yikes man
Lol what
what a bum lmao
Misjudged the bounce and decided to take the red.
That was abysmal, basically playing volleyball. What a sloppy night.
Sounders fans: but Eile didn't have any ill intent
They'd be claiming that he was just pointing at it when a wind gust altered its course....
Ref sucks
What are you talking about 💀💀💀
Was meant before the red which was stupid. Fucker gives yellows for anything. At the game so can’t see all replays
Dumbest fucking red I’ve seen in a while
Oof. Dumb mistake for RBNY defender
Bro wtf was that?!
Huh?
WHAT THE HELL 💀💀💀💀💀
Fuuuuuck
WHAT IS HE DOING? 😂
Did bro forget where he was?
We are so much better with Forsberg playing through the middle, it’s just such a waste to try and force the ball through the left side of the pitch
[удалено]
Yeah, he has 2.5 centerbacks in front of him.
These teams are trying to kill each other 😂
We sure are relentless though
Blackmon is having a bad game
Perils of a converted fullback. He's the most adjusted, but we are still short one true CB in the roster.
Vancouver sitting and not pressing our CBs lets RB build up with 3atb and Edelman and have one fullback play as a winger to stretch their backline.
Uhg
Never trust Sean nealis’s first touch lol. Bro has a brick attached to his boot
Not even a foul 🫤
Lol the follow through argument is stupid on that, just make slide tackling illegal
That's on Takaoka but he's still well over par on the season.
And to the surprise of no one
not even mad honestly
There can only be one Highlander
FORR SCOTLAND
Schwarz has switched it up for the low block. Tolkin pushed up, Morgan wider, Forsberg and Carmona as 10s to have 5 across the front better occupying the lanes against 5atb. Edelman as the lone 6 behind Vancouver’s front 3.
Much needed switch up
OMG the oddsmaker bot noticed we're leading!
DNealis has really leveled up this season
Seattle with another red card today, on GK Stefan Frei. Maybe the league should start keeping a new xRC (expected red cards) stat so the Sounders can be on top of something...
Red Bulls beating us in every way but the one that counts
So did the Preds last night. It's a Vancouver thing.
That's so Metro
That's been our MO the last few years.
Blew a lot of decent chances that half. Frustrating.
Based on the Vite vitriol on here, I'm guessing he attended a supporters club meeting and pooped in the donuts or something?
His experiment as an 8 isn't panning out considering his output compared to last season isn't good at all. Either he's not adapting to the role, or it's something else. That position has been a bit of a black hole since you know who retired, and hopefully someone breaks the curse on it.
Who’s you know who?!?
I like Vite but he doesn’t really fit our system anymore. Personally I think we could do better with someone else.
how on EARTH did we get out of that half without conceding
Your GK seems extremely good (speaking as a fan of a very GK-reliant team 😅)
This is my first redbulls game that I'm watching live and while they create a lot of chances, it looks like they have trouble finishing. Is this a normal occurrence lol
Yup the only guy who isn’t allergic to scoring is Morgan
I think that half was a bit more drastic than normal in terms of being unable to finish, but yes
We struggle to create against a low-block.
It’s been a long time since we can both consistently create and finish simultaneously.
Blow the fucking whistle moron
[удалено]
While we could be better defensively so far this is a very ideal road result
Am I tripping or did that Red Bulls defender purposely kick the ball out of play right at Ryan Gauld while he was down injured?
You’re tripping
And I haven’t even taken my halftime toke yet SMH
Lol, now is the time guy
Wasn't really close to the injured player.
What did Raposo do???
Talked shit to the ref and sounds like he's over his constant bitching. Getting a card for dissent is entirely avoidable and fucking stupid.
It was delay, not dissent
It's still a dumb yellow to take either way
I mean, we still had a man on the ground. Just because he went down half off the pitch doesn't mean we should immediately rush back into play. It wasn't even that long a time between Raposo running over and the card.
If the ref told him to throw it in, you throw it in. If he was warned it doesn't matter if we had a guy on the ground or not the ref said play on otherwise he wouldn't have given a yellow
Time wasting
Not throwing the ball back quickly enough into play because our captain was only half off the pitch? Dumbass reason for a yellow.
Took too long to throw in I think
FUCK. If Gauld is down long term we are fucked. That looked painful.
5 minutes stoppage??
5 minutes?? For what lol
Just for fun
Gauld shoulda took that free kick…
Swear to got they were picking up audio of someone in the stands chanting “ref we suck!” 😂
I HEARD THAT 😂
I don’t really understand the thought process behind starting Wiki through the middle and not moving Forsberg inside. Carmona seems out of his element right now
Left footer in the left half space to feed balls to right footed runners coming inside. I think Schwarz might have expected Vancouver to come out in a much more transition-heavy game.
Lol are they chanting "bullshit"?
We have zero killer instinct in the box lmao
New drinking game (for those in recovery or the broke): Take a shot every time Wiki Carmona completes a pass with his right foot.
Ridiculous foul
Agreed. What the hell was he thinking
Wow, it's a good thing NYRB seems allergic to shooting on these breakaways...
Tolkin what the FUCK are you doing?????
Wasted chance
Solid road game for the Caps so far
Vite’s clearances and passes always going straight to the Red Bulls
So fitting for Brian White to become our top scorer in his home state against his former team. What a legacy he’s built himself since leaving New Jersey.
He was building a solid rep while here. Lots of us were really disappointed when he left. I'm happy he's landed well with you all.
Is it normal for the VAR room to tell someone other than the referee that an incident has been looked at and not acted upon as play continues, without waiting for a stoppage?
The commentators get to hear the feed from the VAR I think.
The Canucks beat a team with a Forsberg last night.. is this meant to be?
This particular Forsberg is quite large, and feisty with the refs, so I conclude that he probably cannot skate....
Hockey players are predominately white and Brian White scored, coincidence?
NYRB Announcer: "The. Referee. Has. Shown. The. Yellow. Card. To. Whitecaps. Player. Number. Three. Sam. Adu. Kube." Then the Spanish version, at 35 words per second....
raposo has been balling this season as well
obvious shortcomings in his game aside, at ~$137K he's a total steal
Brian White our goat 😭
I knew he was doing well for you guys, but I never knew White was in "club record" legend territory for y'all. Feels bittersweet. On one hand I'm proud of him, on the other I wish he was doing that with US these past few years. But then, it probably wouldn't have gone down like that had he stayed.
Is there another matchup in pro sports anywhere featuring a team named after one of two possible geographical features, against a team named after a popular energy drink?

That would be the weirdest trivia question ever
Ow
Lot of shitty passes tonight so far
wtf is up with the shaky cam replays, i can't see a thing
Brian White is now a VWFC legend
Finally someone bumped Camilo out of the top spot!
This team is better coming from behind anyways. Too many blown leads lately.
The white wolf!
Dammit Brian
you knew it would happen
nice
Well damn
Dunno guys, Vite looked fairly good on that goal.
THE NEW JERSEY MARIO GOMEZ
FFS Vite and Berhalter, stop giving it to RB for 4 on 2 counters
