Red Bulls vs. Earthquakes: Match Night Commentary

NYRB08logo6a00e54ef2975b88330133ec4ad7e9970b

The New York Red Bulls are back at Red Bull Arena tonight to take on the San Jose Earthquakes in a key inter-conference clash.

The Red Bulls are coming off an impressive 4-1 thrashing of Toronto FC, but they will have a tough test in San Jose, which is coming off its own impressive win against the Los Angeles Galaxy.

I will be providing commentary throughout the match so please feel free to follow along here. As always, you are welcome to share your own thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Enjoy the action (Commentary is after the jump):

---------------------

9th minute-San Jose is absorbing a good amount of the early pressure.

Richards with a good look on the wing, but sends a weak ball in. Wasted chance there.

---------------------

7thMinute- Marquez serves the free kick, but Busch catches it.

---------------------

5th Minute- San Jose tests Coundoul, who punches a save right into his own area. Not the smartest move there. Will he be shaky today? You never know.

An early yellow card to Bobby Burling for a foul on Lindpere and a good free kick opportunity for NY on the left wing.

---------------------

4thMinute- San Jose won the first metting between these teams earlier this year, 4-0, but that game was an even one blown open with the help of an early New York red card.

---------------------

2nd Minute- Convey vs. Dane Richards will be a good match-up to watch, as will watching San Jose's centerbacks deal with Henry and Angel.

---------------------

1st Minute- We're underway.

---- -----------------

PRE-GAME- Kandji is on the bench for New York while newly-signed Designated Player Geovanni is on the San Jose bench.

PRE-GAME- Good evening folks. I'm coming to you from Red Bull Arena, where another late-arriving crowd is slowly crawling into this beautiful stadium. I'm hearing pre-sale was 22K, but it will have to be a big late rush to get close to that number tonight.

The Hottest Tour de France 2010 Podium Girls

The annual Tour de France is among the most grueling races in all of sports. But every summer, hundreds of cyclists brave the plains, the mountains, the sun and the rain of France (and often the surrounding countries) to complete the 3,500-plus kilometer trek. But why? Fame? Sure, names like Lance Armstrong, Greg LeMond and defending champion Alberto Contador will go down in the annals of cycling history. Money? Certainly, the winners make some dough from winning and from the sponsorship deals that can result. The challenge of it all? No doubt, there are some competitors just looking to see where they rank among the top athletes in the sport. But there's another reason to race. If you win, you get to stand on the podium with some of the world's most beautiful women. Whether they're delivering handshakes, kisses or the radiant yellow jersey , these ladies serve as serious motivation t

Baseball is finally back! With the Yankees and Red Sox kicking things off Sunday night, America's pastime is officially back in session. That means another year of home runs and diving catches. It also means another year to check out the finest talent baseball has to offer off the field. With Derek Jeter locked down and engaged to Minka Kelly, what other MLB players will step up as the playboys of the MLB? And what team is the most stacked with six different WAGs on this list?
