The first #HudsonRiverDerby of 2025 was blue, as NYCFC downed #RBNY at Citi Field. Goals in each half - one goal of the matchday contender and another caused by a goalkeeper error - gave City the 2-0 win. #RedRunsDeep | #NYCSN nycsportsnation.com/2025/05/18/r...

The New York Red Bulls lineup for today's match against New York City FC. Compared to my prediction for @hudsonriverblue.com (2nd picture), Dennis Gjengaar is in for Cameron Harper. Everything else is as I thought. #RBNY #NYCFC

Time to do that soccer. The Hudson River Derby is back! The New York Red Bulls visit New York City FC at Citi Field. The teams last met last year’s MLS Cup Playoffs, where #RBNY beat #NYCFC, 2-0. Kickoff at 4:30. #MLSSeasonPass #NYCSN @rdbullnationnyc.bsky.social

I remember I tried to get press for the 2017 WCQ in Harrison for the #USMNT and was declined for being a college paper. Nearly a decade later and I’ll finally get another crack at it.
