Game 4: Union at Red Bull New York

The Red Bulls lead Major League Soccer with an average of 15.5 fouls committed per game. Just a little something to think about.

Where: Red Bull Arena
TV: WPVI-6.2 (J.P. Dellacamera and Kyle Martino) and Telefutura (Jorge Perez Navarro, Diego Balado and Iván Kasanzew)

As I mentioned earlier in the week, I'm at the Penn Relays for most of today. Usain Bolt runs in the USA vs. the World 4x100-meter relay at 2:50 p.m. After that race, I'll be on the first train to Newark that I can get on. I hope to be at Red Bull Arena at around 4:30. As soon as I get to press row, I'll launch the chat. So stay tuned.

If you're looking for the TV broadcast, here's how to find it. On Comcast, WPVI 6.2 in high definition is channel 245. The standard definition feed is channel 246. On Verizon FiOS, the high definition feed is channel 466 and the standard definition feed is channel 465. The channel is not available at all on satellite distribution.

There's only one name on the Union's injury report: Stefani Miglioranzi has an "upper leg strain."

Of note, the Red Bulls lead Major League Soccer in fouls committed with a total of 62 over four games. That's an average of 15.50 per game. The Union have committed 29 over three games, an average of 9.67 per game.

Just a little something to think about.

I'll talk to you all later this afternoon.
