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)
We’re in. Yes, that’s right, our underperforming 10-11-9 RBNY are set for their date with destiny and two-time defending MLS Cup Champion, Houston Dynamo. Amazing.
Remember to send a Christmas card to Brad Evans:
After slinking home from Chicago, their playoff fate no longer their own, the Red Bulls backed into Major League Soccer’s postseason when the Columbus Crew defeated visiting D.C. United, 1-0, Sunday evening.

Ironic that archrival United _ the team against which the Red Bulls/MetroStars have suffered the most pain, and for which they hold the most hatred _ were the team to decide their fate. So now, after taking a 5-2 beating _ I mean, your granddad going out in the yard and picking a switch off the tree kind of whipping _ they made their sixth straight postseason.
