Appreciate the kind words from @jakebeckhard.bsky.social and @treyfillmore.bsky.social as they eulogized Hudson River Blue on @blueballspod.bsky.social. I do still write about Red Bull btw 😉 And I’m honored you consider me one of the best lower division soccer writers around. ❤️ #NYCFC #RBNY

Here at TheCup, one of our projects includes covering the National Amateur Cup - the top tournament of the USASA and a #USOpenCup qualifying pathway. Since the 2026 tournament is underway, lets give everyone a primer on how it works! Article by @battista.bsky.social: thecup.us/2026/04/06/2...

Red Bull New York came out of the international break firing, beating FC Cincinnati 4-2 on Saturday night. Julian Hall scored his fifth of the year as #RBNY enter a busy, difficult stretch. Recap on @rdbullnationnyc.bsky.social: nycsportsnation.com/2026/04/05/r...

Why bother scoring the first goal at Inter Miami's new stadium when the headlines will just lie and say Messi did anyway.

Statement from Torcida 96 on tonight’s protest. The group has lost privileges at games due to not having sold enough season tickets for Red Bull New York. “We come to support, not to sell season tickets for the front office. Passion over profit.” #RBNY

Postgame press conference with Red Bull New York head coach Michael Bradley following his team's 4-2 win over FC Cincinnati is coming up. #RBNY #AllForCincy #NYCSN

Protest sign in the South Ward during Red Bull New York vs FC Cincinnati. “We come to support, not sell season-tix. Passion over profit.” Sign being held by Torcida 96 it looks like. #RBNY #NYCSN @rdbullnationnyc.bsky.social

TEAMS ON THE FIELD GOALS SHOULD BE SCORED MAYBE BY TOM BARLOW? Red Bull New York vs FC Cincinnati is coming up! #RBNY #AllForCincy #NYCSN @rdbullnationnyc.bsky.social

Time to do that soccer. Back from the international break. Red Bull New York hosts FC Cincinnati at Sports Illustrated Stadium. Teams with defense issues collide. Kickoff at the bottom of the hour. #RBNY #AllForCincy #NYCSN @rdbullnationnyc.bsky.social

A statement from the NASR regarding the denial of @FrancoPanizo for a credential for @InterMiamiCF's Nu Stadium opener. The NASR stands with local journalists and believes deeply in clubs and those journalists fostering a positive working relationship and mutual respect.

Ajmeer Spengler gets the hat-trick with only penalty kicks! New York Cosmos lead 3-2 over the Charlotte Independence! #NYCosmos #USL @nycosmossc.bsky.social

New York Cosmos games are a great sight I gotta admit. Hinchliffe Stadium at night is pretty. Holiday crowd not withstanding. #NYCosmos

JERSEY SWAP: This week we sit down with @markfishkin.bsky.social from @seeingredny.bsky.social to discuss the hire of new head coach Michael Bradley and the sea change at Red Bull New York. How different will this team be when #FCCincy visits Saturday? cincinnatisoccertalk.com/2026/04/02/s...

Time to do that soccer. The New York Cosmos take on Charlotte Independence tonight in USL League One action. The crowd looks poor and this is only the third game for #NYCosmos at Hinchliffe Stadium. (First time at a professional soccer match as a fan in a while lol)

Former Red Bull New York defender Noah Eile scores his first goal with EFL Championship club Bristol City after joining them back in February from #RBNY. #BristolCity

The Inter Miami CF “fans” cheering this decision will be gone when Lionel Messi leaves. Franco Panizo has been around the league longer than #InterMiamiCF has existed. Terrible decision. Ramifications will be felt when you get people asking why no tough questions are asked.

I thought this was Louis Litt at first #Suits

Very excited to see @newyorkredbulls.com host the defending USL Championship final winner Pittsburgh Riverhounds! A new chance to clash against @cjcoreschi.bsky.social. #RBNY #USOC2026

According to this report from ge globo, NYCFC signed 20-year-old Brazilian center-back João Loiola on loan from Fluminense with intent that he plays for NYCFC II in MLS Next Pro. No official announcement yet pending visas and medicals (according to this report, anyway)

hey bluesky! can i get help finding a particular game? i’m looking for a story-driven RPG where you create a character but you’re not the plot’s main character. the closest i can think of for examples are white knight chronicles and fire emblem awakening. thank you!

Sebastian Guenzatti scores his first goal for the New York Cosmos in 3,500 days. The last club he found the net against in the Cosmos' colors? The Carolina RailHawks on August 27, 2016 in the NASL. #USL-1

#OnThisDay in 1927 – Hosts #Newark Skeeters handed #ClubNacional of #Uruguay its 1st loss of its North American tour, 1:0, before 2,000 fans, at Davids’ Stadium. Jack Renfrew’s 2nd half goal (63rd) was the winner, however 7 minutes later, crowd riots cause the game to be suspended.

Bridgestone Arena ✅ Knocking this arena off with Nashville Predators versus New Jersey Devils. Either my friends are gonna be happy or I’m watching the #NJDevils slim playoff hopes end. Love ya @bert-greg29.bsky.social.

Oh, I thought that was a sign to tell travelers how long they would have to wait on the TSA lines

It’s actually super nice. Very clean. Not work $100 though. Now for the love of god Red Bull New York let me buy a kit from the defending MLS NEXT Pro champions. #RBNY #NYCFC

Sam Surridge of Nashville SC has been named MLS Player of the Matchday for Matchday 5! Surridge bagged a hat trick in Nashville's 5-0 drubbing of Orlando City SC, leaving his side atop the Eastern Conference.

Oh my god… Didn’t expect this kind of coverage on Hudson River Blue signing off. This is really appreciated.

Cameron Harper entered RBNY II's match against Philadelphia Union II in the 77th minute. Encouraging sign for Harper, who is recovering from a right knee injury sustained against Austin FC on June 14, 2025, that required surgery.

Stolen from @upstate-trash.bsky.social on the other site; In the year of our lord 2026, Wiki Carmona and Tom Barlow have scored a goal in the same game for the first time. #AllForCincy #CFMTL #RBNY

Cascadia ❌ Cascada ✅

The National Independent Soccer Association is still trying. NISA announced a "Spring Showcase" event with six teams that began this weekend. It's essentially a slapped together rebrand of the NISA Nation Southwest. There's already been a game postponed. I'm sure a certain someone will blame me.

Red Bull New York dropped a 6-1 result to Charlotte FC on Saturday. Continuing struggles to finish and center back health made way for the worst loss yet for head coach Michael Bradley, and the worst #RBNY loss since 1999. Recap by Jaime Broitman: nycsportsnation.com/2026/03/22/m...

The abject horror I have at seeing 1999 listed as "the 1900s"

From @/rbnyxp Red Bull New York’s 6-1 loss against Charlotte FC is the worst loss in club history since June 20, 1999, when the MetroStars lost 6-0 to the Kansas City Wizards. #RBNY (This graphic objectively funny)

Red Bull New York plays Gustav Berggren at center back and everything falls apart. Team was already down 2-0 to Charlotte FC before he was shown a red card, then it was fully down hill from there. The natural center back issue needs to be addressed. #RBNY #NYCSN

Team will honor Bradley Wright-Phillips with a ceremony on May 2, where he will be inducted into Legends Row. Fans will receive a collectible BWP pin at the match versus FC Dallas. #RBNY @bigdsoccer.com

Easy to say Bradley Wright-Phillips deserves to be honored by Red Bull New York. But the way #RBNY honors players is convoluted. BWP's number #99 was already retired. Then the team creates Legends Row & Luis Robles is the first person in it. Now a few years later, BWP goes in?

As announced on MLS 360, Bradley Wright-Phillips is the next player to enter Legends Row at Sports Illustrated Stadium. The Red Bull New York striker joins Luis Robles in the row. He already had his number #99 retired by #RBNY. Congratulations BWP! cc: @newyorkredbulls.com

found a tiny friend while on a walk :3 yay!

Damn, this is a ‘hate to see’ kind of thing if there ever was one. HRB is such an excellent resource to NYCFC fans and MLS fans for that matter. Hopefully the next group can pick up the ball and run with it.

To be blunt, Hudson River Blue's future is not certain. The new owners are likely to shut the website down. I am grateful for the opportunities afforded to me by HRB. I've made national news, spotlighted amazing people, and had a great time. Onto the next. www.hudsonriverblue.com/thank-you-an...
