Headed down to the game last night with Missy since she was the only one that could come! Picked up Mike at work and went to the game after getting rear-ended on the parkway while traffic was moving literally 2mph. I was actually stopped. Thanks to beautiful engineering and plastics, I only have a scratch which I didn’t care about, blended with the others.
Last night the Red Bulls faced last years champs the Colorado Rapids. Red Bulls tied 2-2 during the amazing spurt of goals. All 4 goals in the game were scored in the first half, and I believe all within about 6 minutes from what I read. A few key players were missing which hurt the team, you could tell they weren’t playing their best.
