The first home game of the season is against New York opposition for the second year in a row. This time it’s the Red Bulls, however, so maybe we should say it’s “New Jersey opposition?”

Did you know that in 1996 they were known as the NY/NJ Metrostars? And that they were then renamed just “Metrostars” in 1998 as an attempt to “have a team without a geographic name attached to it?” What a load of late-90s crap. Still, I might prefer Metrostars to Red Bulls.

Last year we didn’t play the Red Bulls at home but did record a 2-1 win at Red Bull Arena behind goals by Abu Danladi (now occupying the physiotherapy table in Nashville) and Romario Ibarra (technically still on the roster, but loaned to Pachuca indefinitely.) Will the Red Bulls exact revenge, or will the Curse of Caricola continue to haunt them?
