The torture and tease that has been so cruelly woven into the fabric of Red Bulls history carried on with their devastating 2-1 loss to the LA Galaxy in the MLS Cup final Saturday in Los Angeles.
The Red Bulls are one of Major League Soccer’s original 10 clubs, having played all 28 seasons, spanning 923 regular-season matches and, after Saturday, 60 in the postseason.
They waited a long time for the moment that sat tantalizingly before them on Saturday, and after the loss to the heavily favored Galaxy, the Red Bulls will have to wait at least another year in their never-ending quest to hoist the MLS Cup for the first time.
That the Red Bulls even reached this match was nothing short of remarkable.
