After last weekend's scoreless draw with New England, Nashville SC go on the road for the first time in 2025, taking on last years's MLS Cup runners-up New York Red Bulls. For the latest on the Red Bulls, we chatted with Mark Fishkin, who has covered the club since 2010 with Seeing Red.
Ben Wright (SixOneFive Soccer): Last year's MLS Cup run seemed like an incredible experience! What's the mood like among fans? Is the expectation to be a contender again in 2025, or was last year a one-off?
Mark Fishkin (Seeing Red): Last year's run to MLS Cup completely energized the RBNY fan base after what had been a fairly mediocre first season under Sandro Schwarz. After winning the East from the seventh seed, Red Bulls fans understand that ANYTHING can happen in the playoffs, and the goal for 2025 is to get there once again.
