February 23rd Odds and Ends

Here are some things you may have missed.

Felipe speaks

Felipe Martins spoke with NewYorkRedBulls.com about Jesse Marsch.

Still no answer as to what kind of pizza he likes.

EDIT: And here's the whole interview. Still no word on his pizza preferences.

Empire of Soccer roster breakdown

Dave Martinez of Empire of Soccer takes a look at the New York Red Bulls roster and breaks it down.

I did some Bonomo detective work

Remember Stefano Bonomo? The Red Bulls drafted him in the second round, but he went on trial with Polish team Miedz Legnica instead. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on who you are, I guess) his trial ended without an offer. He was supposed to go on trial with a team in "Sheffield," but news never surfaced. Did he even make it to England?

Marc Pelosi plays for some small English club called Liverpool and @bonomo_93 is Stefano Bonomo's Twitter account. Liverpool is in England, and "still here" implies that he was at one point "here," meaning in England. So is/was Bonomo in England possibly for the rumored trial? Maybe! Is this an amazing amount of thought for a player who probably won't sign for the Red Bulls or even show up in camp? Of course! But as my dad always tells me, "Lester, you waste too much time on pointless things that don't matter and won't happen. Like, for example, earning my respect."

Tyler Adams is a blue chip

Tyler Adams of the New York Red Bulls Academy is Top Drawer Soccer's No. 3 prospect in the class of 2017.

The list is behind a pay wall, so... anyway, how's your Monday been?

Rio Ferdinand says thing

Rio Ferdinand is 36.

He will make a decision over his future once QPR's battle with relegation is decided but Ferdinand knows there will be offers from America and the Middle East on the table.

Oh, he "knows," does he? Well, I wouldn't want a guy who is named after the goose in Babe to be in MLS. [citation needed] Then again, I'd take him if he brought his prank show to the Red Bulls.

Article about Salzburg and Leipzig

Goal.com has a blog about how Red Bull Salzburg will become the bridesmaid to RB Leipzig's bride.

The emergence of Leipzig, however, is a threat and not a boost for Salzburg. While they could be said to be stablemates, the relationship will end up benefitting the Germans far more than the Austrians. The potential for growth, and revenues, is far bigger in Germany's version of the Bundesliga. Nonetheless, Red Bull maintain that Salzburg's operations will not be affected and that objectives will be reached regardless of what's happening in Saxony.

Now... uhh... I don't know what this means for the New York Red Bulls, but...

Oscars

The Oscars were last night. Nightcrawler is the best film of 2014 and it should have won every award (but it wasn't nominated for anything major). See Nightcrawler and thank me later.

Are you going to see Nightcrawler even though you didn't see it last time I told you to? What kind of pizza do you think Felipe likes? Would you take Rio Ferdinand on your team?
