- Intense one-touch in a box in the AM. Again, as a group I'm most impressed with the "bench"
players – Moose, J Carroll, McTavish, DeRoux, Stokes, Wilson, etc.

In a move that highlights the rapid rate of influence that new media has on both the way we consume

available to users for free (Chelsea TV is a paid subscription service).
Winning three straight preseason games down in Bradenton Fla, against the Kiddie Korps US National
Team U-17's, the punchless Wizards and the despised United of DC is not that big a deal. But these
small victories do provide a sneak preview into Bruce Arena's plans for Red Bull New York, in this,
