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:

Red Bulls 3 – 1 Dynamo

Bam, victory time! (Please forgive the gratuitous, shirtless Henry picture. I <3 it)

Well, that’s hilarious. Seriously, that ball took a hop worse than RBNY’s Danny Cepero‘s, so I really think we can stop focusing on this “once in a lifetime” thing. Poor keeper, though.

Man, what a great day. Soccer by Ives just wrote the sweetest 4 words I have ever read: RBNY “waived goalkeeper Jon Conway”. I am BEYOND ecstatic that this happened at all; that it took this long is scary, but with with “Duckman’s” departure last week, as long as we don’t spend cash on any major, overpriced acquisitions (read: Khano/Rojas), we are finally headed in the correct direction. The last two-three seasons have been very difficult for this RBNY/Metro fan as my (now-)wife and I made the season ticket splurge two years ago and got to witness not only last season’s amazing playoff run, but this year’s epic collapse as well.

Yes, the chips seem down, don’t they? Who cares? 9 months ago when we launched, most people told me I was just bitter and crazy and that no one would EVER agree with me. Well, RBNY let the bum go and I kinda proved that I was right all along. While I don’t welcome the bad karma of wishing another man out of a job, I have a feeling he’ll probably con his way into another gig soon enough (and if the NJ-area player ends up in Philly and plays a role in hurting us, I will FREAK). He wasn’t the team’s only problem, but he was a big one.

I heart you, RBNY. Agoos is next.
