From there the team will travel to Houston, Texas to prepare for their CONCACAF Champions League match versus CD Olimpia. The Red Bulls will play CD Olimpia in San Jose, Costa Rica instead of Honduras due to political turmoil.

And finally, Owngoalnigeria.com reports the Red Bulls are weighing out options to bring a case to FIFA over the mishandled transfer of Jerome Philip. The matter involves Philip whom New York signed in September, and who is now on trial with Norwegian side Lillestroem. The Red Bulls apparently signed the player from the wrong club, and the team that currently holds his rights does not want to sell him to MLS.
