French international and former Arsenal and FC Barcelona superstar, Thierry Henry, will make his MLS debut tonight for our New York Red Bulls tonight in Houston, Texas. After watching him over the past weekend in the Barclays New York Challenge, we ripped Barca off. REALLY. Dude still has so very much to offer and he’s OURS. Take that, LA.
Hopefully, we will get our first taste of how Juan Pablo Angel and Henry will work together up front – let’s predict a result:
Bam, victory time! (Please forgive the gratuitous, shirtless Henry picture. I <3 it)
Yeah, he definitely got a hand on that one. Bad refereeing and terrible that something as crucial as a WORLD CUP QUALIFYING MATCH should come down to a missed call.
Thierry Henry is one of this generation’s legends of European soccer. The 32-year-old striker has been a member of the French national team since 1997 and has scored over 50 goals for Les Bleux – to say nothing of his nearly 230 goals in club play. He was one of the faces of Gillette shaving products stateside and has also been featured in innumerable soccer advertisements here and overseas. He’s also, as FOX SPORTS notes, guilty of one of the most flagrant uncalled handballs in the history of international play; step aside, Maradona. [Sports by Brooks]
You got to finish matches early and make it so that those blunders cannot effect the outcome as they will happen. Obviously.
