Red Bulls playing like superheroes
—
They have been called miracle workers and magicians during their amazing playoff run to MLS Cup. To many fans, however, the New York Red Bulls are much more than that. They are heroes, perhaps even super heroes, as the team prepares to take on the Columbus Crew in the 13th MLS championship game at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. on Sunday.
