For weeks, senior New York Red Bulls players have sounded the same warning: the team needed to find a way to grind out 1-0 or 2-0 victories, as they would not always be able to score 4 goals a game. That warning became reality Saturday against the New England Revolution. After losing leading scorer Thierry Henry early to a strained hamstring, the Red Bulls managed to hang on for an unlikely 1-0 victory, their first shutout of the year.

Last Night's Action: A Change Of Plans

Making The Call: We're Not A Nation Of Soccer Fans
We didn’t get the “Miracle On Grass” that some pundits expected yesterday. Instead, the U.S. showed determination and they took advantage of a lucky break they received to earn a tie. The problem is that even with a win, Americans wouldn’t have been transformed into soccer fans overnight. Yes, a good performance by the national team would excite fans and generate passion for soccer, but it won’t have a lasting impact because once the World Cup is over all that remains for the U.S. soccer fan is MLS.
Star Athletes Convene for Downtown Soccer Match
Yesterday's charity mini-soccer game, "Showdown in Chinatown," organized by NBA superstar Steve Nash turned out to be the hot (free) ticket. People were crowded almost a dozen people deep, standing on cars, and clinging to fences and poles to catch glimpses of NBA players like Jason Kidd, Leandro Barbosa, and Baron Davis and soccer players Claudio Reyna, Salomon Kalou, Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Rob Jones, Jozy Altidore and Gregg Berhalter playing in Sara Roosevelt Park on the Lower East Side. Davis, who is a point guard for the Golden State Warriors, had expressed a desire to win, but apparently caused a few penalties by touching the ball (he was entertaining, though).
