New York Red Bulls vs. San Jose Earthquakes: Live Match Thread
Email
PrintThe New York Red Bulls square off against San Jose Earthquakes tonight at Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto, California. It's a rare home game away from Buck Shaw Stadium for the Earthquakes, and they expect a crowd of 40,000+. The match will be broadcast live, nationally on ESPN2. It's the final game of the Red Bulls' 4-game road trip, which was only broken up on Tuesday by the US Open Cup match against FC New York. Last season the Red Bulls were stung 4-0 at Buck Shaw on Luke Sassano Homecoming Night but managed a 1-0 playoff victory there, before famously throwing it all away in the return leg at Red Bull Arena.
Dax McCarty gets his first start in a New York shirt since his well-publicized trade for Dwayne De Rosario. Elsewhere, the big surprise is the absence of Thierry Henry due to flu. Mehdi Ballouchy (yikes) joins Juan Agudelo up top. Carlos Mendes has been paired with Tim Ream in Rafael Márquez's absence. Luke Rodgers, still nursing a foot injury, is not in the squad for tonight's game but could return next week. In goal, Bouna Coundoul gets nod over Greg Sutton, despite having given up a bad goal in Chicago last Sunday.
Lineups:
Red Bulls: Bouna Coudoul; Roy Miller, Tim Ream, Carlos Mendes, Jan Gunnar Solli, Joel Lindpere, Dax McCarty, Teemu Tainio, Dane Richards, Mehdi Ballouchy, Juan Agudelo
Bench: Greg Sutton, Mike Jones, John Rooney, Austin Da Luz, Corey Hertzog, Stephen Keel
Earthquakes: Jon Busch, Steven Beitashour, Jason Hernandez, Bobby Burling, Ramiro Corrales, Chris Wondolowski, Brad Ring, Khari Stephenson, Ryan Johnson, Simon Dawkins, Steven Lenhart
Bench: Andrew Weber, Anthony Ampaipitakwong, Sam Cronin, Joey Gjertsen, Chris Leitch, Ellis McLoughlin, Scott Sealy
God help us all!

So...
Henry missing with flu-like symptoms. That July flu - it’ll get you every time!

Predictions anyone?
Can’t see us winning without Henry. 3-0 San Jose.

Agudelo went close there.
Impressed by Dax so far.

I wonder if any bookies in Vegas
give odds on which games Henry will miss. I’ll take 75% of the West Coast games for $1000.

Sigh
three solid opportunities wasted because of heavy first touches. So frustrating. We should blow this shitty team out.

Richards got rocked
Hernandez lucky not to get red
by M.L. Conroy on Jul 2, 2025 11:13 PM EDT reply actions
So let me get this straight
Henry gets a straight red because of “blows to the head”, but Hernandez gets a yellow for a shot to the head that the NFL would give him a fine for? Fucking MLS officials and their goddamn inconsistencies.

hard to imagine what would constitute a red in that situation
If that was only a yellow

Seriously how long is he allowed to keep this shit up?
He should have gotten a game suspension for that bush league shit against LA, and he should get another one for putting his hands on Teemu’s neck. What a douche.

wow
nobody trusts Ballouchy in the box. JA could have given it to him, but he had a shot if he kept his feet.

Agudelo's a special case
He wouldn’t give the ball to a clean-through Gerd Müller

Well it is Ballouchy
1-4 odds it would end up in the tenth row.

Well we pick up a point on columbus
but nothing on DC and Philthy. Bleh, at least this insane road trip is over. Five freaking games in 15 days. What a joke. What are the chances Rodgers is back for the TFC game?
