Come Sunday afternoon, Red Bull Arena certainly won't be short of star power.
Fresh off a 4-1 win midweek over Philadelphia, Landon Donovan, Robbie Keane and the Los Angeles Galaxy will try to make it 2-for-2 on their East Coast swing with a win over Thierry Henry, Tim Cahill and the New York Red Bulls.
South Africa 2010. No matter where you were in the world, when American soccer fans saw Landon Donovan's strike hit the back of the net, beer went errrrrvrywhere. The pubs erupted with World Cup joy. Lucky for us we don't have to wait four years for an equalizing moment. Major League Soccer is jam-packed with amazing strikes, goals, headers, and golazos.
The New England Revolution and the New York Red Bulls drew 1-1 tonight in front of 16,440 rain-soaked fans at Gillette, Diego Fagundez with the Revs goal and Lloyd Sam with the Red Bulls goal. The draw leaves New England with a record of 2-4-4 for 10 points and New York at 6-4-2 for 21 points.
After Wednesday's disappointing home lose to Real Salt Lake, Revs coach made a couple of changes bringing in Cisse and Imbongo in their familiar 4-1-4-1 formation.
The MLS Play of the Week ballot has been filled out and thanks to a goal and assist against the Chicago Fire gives Houston midfielder Brad Davis the Week 7 honors.
Davis helped set up the first Houston goal when he sent in a nice ball to Will Bruin. Davis then slotted home the game-winner in the last 10 minutes of the match to give Houston their 35thconsecutive unbeaten result at home.
It's about time New York posted a victory, thanks in large part to Thierry Henry's ridiculous first touch and lightning second. That was prettier than one of them fancy upside-down apple pies. - Greg Seltzer
Thierry Henry is The King! He's a magician and the best player that our League has ever had (sorry Becks). What else can be said? His two goals were enough to win this game and the second of those two goals was certainly worth the price of an RBNY season ticket. The great Dan Dickinson has a fantastic match report, with the Good & the Bad and some great quotes from the players after the game.
HARRISON, N.J. Reflecting on the news that Sir Alex Ferguson has decided to retire from football management, Red Bulls forward Thierry Henry kept coming back to one word.
"Legend."
Speaking after his two-goal performance in the Red Bulls' 2-1 win vs.
The Major League Soccer Players Union released on Monday their first list of player and team salaries in 2013, and it's not a huge surprise who is at the top of the list.
Thierry Henry of the New York Red Bulls remains the top earner in the league, bringing in a total of $4.
Normally, an inconsistent team in MLS is generally the kind of side you want to pick on a little bit. After all, inconsistent teams shouldn't travel well given their lack of confidence and/or continuity, right? So, for example, when a team loses to a New York Red Bulls team that could only call on Thierry Henry for the last half-hour, or drops points at home to Toronto FC, you start thinking that this is the kind of team D.
The New York Red Bulls turned in their most complete performance of the season last weekend at RFK Stadium and a trio of standouts led the charge to victory over D.C. United.
Thierry Henry, Dax McCarty and Jamison Olave drove the Red Bulls to their first road win of the season, and their efforts in beating D.
For the second year in a row, Sporting KC gets to make a "fun" two game road trip going from one coast to the other. Last year Sporting played Seattle to a 1-1 draw before getting beat by Philadelphia 4-0 on a Wednesday/Saturday road trip that saw them on both coasts in a 4 days span. KC gets to do that again this year starting tomorrow in New York.
WASHINGTON — Mike Petke had seen enough. The leaky defense. The lack of commitment. The late collapses. All of it.
So after the New York Red Bulls allowed two late goals in a 3-1 loss to the Chicago Fire last weekend, the coach turned the team's training focus to defensive shape.
Thierry Henry (right) and Jamison Olave scored seven minutes apart late in the first half to propel New York Red Bull to a 2-0 win last night over D.C. United at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. Photo: Martin Fernandez.
A bad game away to Sporting Kansas City is understandable, and was nothing to fret about. This performance at home, against the New York Red Bulls, however? Well, this is a bit more worrying, and looking like part of a pattern. D.C. United didn't appear to benefit from a week off at all and were poor in a 2-0 loss to their biggest rivals at RFK Stadium.
Wille Nelson Loves Being on the Road. The Red Bulls Don't.
Like Willie Nelson, the Red Bulls can't wait to get back on the road again. OK maybe not, considering their general futility away from Red Bull Arena in recent times.

OTF's Stephen Mangat brings you his no-mixer-added drink on the New York Red Bulls.
Paul McCartney, Buffalo, Daedalus, and 90s NBC. These givers of wings are all overrated in their own right (if they were rated at all), just like Red Bull.
The Portland Timbers looked destined to suffer a defeat against the Colorado Rapids when they fell behind by two goals, but captain Will Johnson didn't let it happen.
The former Real Salt Lake midfielder scored a pair of goals, including a quality header, to help Portland salvage a 2-2 draw.
On the strength of a Dax McCarty early 2nd half goal, and a Thierry Henry late 2nd half golazo, the New York Red Bulls once again put the Philadelphia Union to the sword @The Cathedral of Football.
A scoreless first half, full of ridiculous missed chances (Peguy, I'm looking at you), was forgotten rather quickly, as the Red Bulls took the lead through their demunitive redheaded midfield maestro.
With the international fixture window in the rearview mirror, MLS teams will look to try and get back to full strength ahead of a loaded schedule of matches this Saturday.
The New York Red Bulls will be looking for their first win of the 2013 season when they play host to a Philadelphia Union side that has never won at Red Bull Arena before.
The Red Bulls are knee deep into a 253-minute scoreless streak. If they hope to solve that dilemma, they may have to do it without their two main strikers.
Team captain Thierry Henry is still recovering from a knock suffered against D.C. United while Fabian Espindola is a question mark as team officials await word on the severity of his hamstring injury.
For most of the match, the injury-depleted San Jose Earthquakes looked nothing like the team that won the Supporters' Shield and scored by far the most goals in Major League Soccer last year. The final few minutes and stoppage time [...]
Thierry Henry scored twice in New York's 2-1 win over Montreal and his second goal wasn't what you would expect from a 35-year-old in the twilight of his career. With New York up 1-0 in the 88th minute, Juninho's corner kick was headed back to Henry, who flung his feet into the air to score from just inside the six-yard box.
With a slew of great games to choose from, this week we're going with a theme for the recap. Three teams asserted power with their wins this weekend and made it clear that we should be paying serious attention to them (in case we weren't already). The Games Toronto FC 1-2 New York Red Bulls Against the Red Bulls, Toronto gave up yet another late goal, which this time meant a loss instead of a draw.
Arsenal have had their fair share of terrific players over the years. Patrick Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry, the list goes on and on. Current players like Bacary Sagna and Jack Wilshere look like they will be included on this list before their time at Arsenal is done.
Robin Van Persie left Arsenal for Manchester United because his biological clock was ticking, according to Gunners boss Arsene Wenger. The Frenchman compared his former star striker to a 39-year-old woman who wants her first baby. And he seemed to acknowledge that RVP had to leave in order to fulfil his ambition of winning the [.
Manchester United's depth in squad has outdone their rivals - originally posted on Soccerlens.com
Ever since Robin van Persie dramatically sealed a 3-2 win for Manchester United over arch-rivals Manchester City at the Etihad back in December, the title race has been effectively over.
Admittedly that win only put Sir Alex Ferguson's side six points clear at the time, but there was just a sense that it was a very key moment in the season, and so it proved to be.
Liverpool might want to move fast if they want to sign their non-league trialist Daniel Carr. Reports suggest that Premier League rivals Chelsea are ready to hijack the Reds' move for Carr. If Arsenal join the race too that could put Brendan Rodgers' side out of the running completely. That's because Dulwich Hamlet striker Carr [.

Thierry Henry grabbed a brace as the Red Bull's beat Montreal 2-0, his second was a bi-cycle kick which looked to have taken a lot more effort than in the past, suppose at 35 that's what happens?
Although the PFA Player of the Year Award won't be officially announced until Sunday night,The Sunnewspaper is reporting that Gareth Bale has won the award and has achieved the honor of winning it for the second time alongside other two-time winners Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Revs played their best game of the season on Saturday. Unfortunately, when a given team (the Red Bulls) has a given player on the field (Thierry Henry) who is a class above anyone else and is playing well, that team is a lot likelier than their opponent to win.
