The New York Red Bulls carry a seven-game unbeaten streak into the nations capital when they square off with DC United on Sunday afternoon at RFK Stadium in a battle between a pair of MLSs original sides. Ugg Stivali Saldi .The Red Bulls (10-9-6, 36 points) are currently third in the Eastern Conference behind New York City and Toronto FC while United is tied for the sixth, and final, playoff position in the conference table with 11 matches to play.Both teams head into Sundays Atlantic Cup rivalry match on the strength of solid wins.For the Red Bulls, Bradley Wright-Phillips scored a pair of goals and forged his league-leading fifth multiple-goal game of the season as New York beat the Montreal Impact 3-1 on Aug. 14 at Red Bull Arena. Wright-Phillips is now second in the MLS Golden Boot standings with 14 goals.United (6-8-9, 27 points) put an end to a six-game winless slide with a 2-0 home victory against the Portland Timbers on Aug. 14.Midfielder Lloyd Sam has been a difference maker in a rejuvenated attack since joining United from the Red Bulls in July. He will look for another strong performance in his first game against his old club.I think closer to the time, it will be a bit weird to see them on the other side, Sam said of facing his former teammates. But right now, we just need to beat whoevers in front of us, which happens to be New York this week. We just want three points.United has a four-game undefeated streak in the series alive at RFK Stadium, with three victories in that span.The teams are meeting for the second time this season.

Stivali Ugg Bambina .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Ugg Stivali Offerte . Goals from Jerome Boateng, Franck Ribery and Thomas Mueller extended Bayerns unbeaten run to a record 37 matches. "This record is incredible," Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said. http://www.outletstivalisaldi.it/ . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy. TORONTO -- Corey Klubers first career start on short rest hardly went the way he wanted.Looking to finish off a Cleveland sweep in the AL Championship Series, the ace right-hander got touched up by the Toronto Blue Jays during a 5-1 defeat Tuesday in Game 4.Kluber was pushed up to pitch on three days rest because of several injuries to Clevelands rotation. He took the loss after allowing two runs and four hits while throwing 89 pitches in five innings.I felt fine, Kluber said. I dont think (the short rest) physically affected me.It was the first time the 2014 AL Cy Young Award winner permitted a playoff opponent to score. He had thrown 13 1/3 scoreless innings against the Red Sox and Blue Jays this October, his first postseason.We talked to Kluber after every inning and I thought he held his stuff really good, Indians manager Terry Francona said. I thought his legs started to get a little tired.Following their first loss in seven playoff games this year, the Indians remain one win from their first trip to the World Series since 1997. Theyll take a 3-1 ALCS lead into Game 5 on Wednesday, when rookie left-hander Ryan Merritt starts against Blue Jays righty Marco Estrada.Merritts major league resume consists of 11 regular-season innings this year. He made one start, holding Kansas City to a run and three hits in five innings on Sept. 30.If you told me on the first day of the season I would be pitching in the ALCS, I might have thought you were crazy, Merritt said. Clinching this win would be awesome. To get this opportunity is awesome. It feels good that the team trusts me.Francona is optimistic Merritt will be up to the task.I think hes OK, the manager said. He talked to (pitching coach Mickey Callaway) a little bit about the scouting report this morning.Cleveland has been without starters Carlos Carrasco (broken handd) and Danny Salazar (forearm) this entire postseason. Ugg Bailey Bow Outlet. Right-hander Trevor Bauer left Game 3 after four batters when blood began dripping from his right pinkie, sliced open last week as the pitcher was repairing one of the drones he enjoys flying as a hobby.The early exit by Bauer forced the Indians to get 25 outs from their stellar bullpen Monday night and prompted Francona to turn to Kluber on short rest in Game 4.If the ALCS goes the distance, Kluber could wind up starting on three days rest again. Game 7 would be Saturday in Cleveland.Were one win away from the World Series and thats what were focused on, Kluber said.Kluber, who went 6 1/3 innings to win Game 1, pitched around singles in the first two innings Tuesday before giving up a two-out solo homer to reigning AL MVP Josh Donaldson in the third.It marked the first time Cleveland trailed in the series.I made a mistake to Donaldson, Kluber said.There was more trouble for Kluber in the fourth, which began with back-to-back walks to Troy Tulowitzki and Russell Martin. It was the third time this season Kluber issued consecutive walks, and the first time hed done so against the first two batters in an inning.After Michael Saunders struck out swinging, Ezequiel Carrera made it 2-0 with a bloop single that dropped in front of center fielder Tyler Naquin. Kluber responded by striking out Kevin Pillar and Ryan Goins.Kluber retired his final five batters, striking out three. He walked two and fanned seven, matching his strikeout total from Game 2 of the Division Series against Boston.I thought we did a good job of battling, Martin said. Hes definitely a tough guy to score runs against, but we found a way to get a couple today.
