As the season kicks off, we, and some special guests, tackle expectations for the Red Bulls' 2013 campaign.

Thierry Henry and Co. is easily the team's biggest bright spot.

Both Thierry Henry and Fabian Espindola seem ready to go. Which is good, since they'll be flipping on the left.

It's Bover vs. Sam for the starting right wing spot. And, unlike at left back, there's no better player waiting to take over.

It's the Red Bulls. It could be a season to remember or an unmitigated disaster.

So much depends on the center back position and Heath Pearce. But regardless, the situation is concerning.

We all know who's going to be in the middle of the field for the Red Bulls come March 3. But who's going to back them up?

The center back position will determine a lot in how the Red Bulls defense looks, in more ways than one.

Despite the jump in quality, the Red Bulls goalkeeping situation this season looks a bit more like last year's thanks to injury.
