Beans, Ace and I just sat down for the start of tonights Barcelona @ NY Red Bulls friendly at Giants Stadium.

So far the MLS boys are holding strong defensively, but like most of the matches that see high profile Euro teams coming over this way, NY is having trouble keeping possession going forward.

When your teams leading scorer is you Left-Back (van den Bergh with 5 Goals) and you’ve just lost the 2nd best talent on the team in the form of Jozy Altidore, you might want to start tapping into the International market instead of looking for D-mids and Defenders.

And doesn’t Rojas remind anyone else of The Bruce?
