What a story. Entering the MLS playoff as the eight and last
seed the Red Bull fought their way to the Western Conference Championship last
night night defeating Real Salt Lake 1 – 0.
They got there by defeating the Houston Dynamo, the two time defending MLS champions.
I am so happy for Juan 
Osorio, the coach of the Red Bull. He is a great coach,
a dear friend and a wonderful person. It has been so great to see his growth as
a coach over the years. In all my years of coaching I can’t think of anyone
more focused, dedicated and passionate than Juan. He told me when I first met
him 11 years ago that he would be the manger of a first division pro team. He said
that not with cockiness, but determination. At the time he was coaching a semi
pro team that played in central park on Sundays. He came to this country from
Columbia without any knowledge of English. He memorized words out of the
dictionary to learn the language. He graduated from college and eventually from
John Moores University in England Science of Football program. They play next
Sunday for the MLS Cup against the Columbus Crew. They are prohibitive
underdogs but don’t count out the Red Bull, Juan will have them ready and find
a way to give them a chance to win.
