Through six games, the Red Bulls defense has only let up two goals against. The strong defense, along with the hot goal scoring from Theirry Henry, Juan Agudelo, and Luke Rodgers has the Red Bulls atop of the Eastern Conference. The Red Bulls are currently 3-1-2 though six games for a total of 11 points, 1st in the East and 3rd best in the MLS.

The Red Bulls recently added midfielder and MLS veteran Dwayne De Rosario from Toronto FC. De Rosario is a Canadian International and has been a star in the MLS for years while playing for Toronto FC. He is a five-time All-MLS player and has won four championships in his career. His presence was immediately felt in his first game as a Red Bull. De Rosario entered the game against the Houston Dynamo on April 2nd at halftime, and assisted on a goal two minutes later to tie the game at 1-1.
De Rosario has continued to help the Red Bull offense as the team has scored seven goals in their last two games, after scoring only two goals in their first four games. Although he has only one assist and no goals in his first four games, he has helped control the midfield and has had good chemistry with the other Red Bulls players.
If the Red Bulls continue playing the way they are playing now, they will surely be near the top of the Eastern Conference come season end. The MLS has been gaining interest as the surge of International Stars into the MLS continues. The Red Bulls are sure to garner some interest from casual soccer fans as they have Superstars, a year old arena, and have been playing well. The Red Bulls have had an average of 16,000 fans in their first three games, and with the summer coming up and their recent play, that number is going to increase.
