Why the NY Red Bulls will win

I know a lot of folks in our country don't follow futbol (soccer). But that's their loss, really.

This Sunday the NY Red Bulls will play the Columbus Crew in the MLS Cup (the Championship game of United States soccer).

The NY Red Bulls had a less than mediocre season, but somehow just made the playoffs in the 8th spot. They've played well in the playoffs, picked up some momentum, and had ludicrous amounts of luck to make it to the Finals.

The Columbus Crew is generally a better team, but one the Red Bulls beat 2 games to 1 during the regular season.

AND, the NY Red Bulls have Danny Cepero at goal. I believe Danny is the reason they made it this far.

Danny Cepero was thrown into the position of goalkeeper on October 18th due to the first choice goalkeeper's suspension for using illegal substances. That game was against... oh yeah, The Columbus Crew!

And, wait, Danny Cepero scored a goal in that game. Yes, the goalkeeper scored a goal!

Watch:


So, on Sunday, at 3:30pm EST you'll find me wrapped in my NY Red Bulls scarf, glued to ABC, watching the MLS Cup, and cheering on the soon-Champion NY Red Bulls.

You're invited to join me, otherwise, leave a message.
