Sorry if posted already.

I'd be down to see him in a farewell game later on down the line. His career at Barca was magnificent. I can't describe how shocked and proud I was when he was signed by my favorite club back in 2003, the first Mexican to play on the first team. I can't get used to seeing him in another kit.

I'm off the buy season tix for the RedBull though

(To the nearest vending machine)

I'm getting some for next season as well, I can't believe how cheap they are!

Lol what is that a highschool they are walking out of?

Probably lol, they are building a new training facility though.

It's so weird seeing Rafa playing in MLS.

He just drew a foul.

I just turned it on so missed the first half, what happened? Do anything else?

He's been all right, not really on the same page with his teammates but he's been positioning himself well, making some interceptions and distributing the ball nicely. Red Bull has been the better team attacking wise and he hasn't had much to do. Very promising midfield work.

Sadly Henry is off with a groin strain.

Titi got injured? Hope he is ok.

Good pass from Rafa just now.

Too bad the Red Bulls already came to San Jose, otherwise I would go to cheer our guys on. Oh well, I'll do it next season.

He played 60 minutes total, it took him about 15 minutes to settle into the game which is completely understandable considering he's had less than a week of full training with the rest of the team. He made two really great no look through balls in the second half that has a lot of MLS fans going crazy, they aren't used to creative passers

Henry's injury is not serious, they say it was just a precaution and he didn't want to come off. He better be fit to play on Wednesday because I have tickets to go see him in person for the first time. Too bad Marquez is going to be with the Mexican team but I will at most of the Red Bulls home games for the rest of the season so I'll see them in action together.

Thanx for the recap!

 

[La Furia]

Rafa was great for Mexico vs Spain, hopefully he can stay healthy and lead Red Bull to their first MLS Cup.

Going to see Henry and Rafa united again on Saturday

The coach has him paired up with another holding midfielder so he might be playing an even further advanced role for hte rest of the season.

 

[La Furia]

Scored a rocket of a goal today. He's still struggling to adjust but you can tell he's the most skilled player out there and is thriving in a midfield role as the Red Bulls playmaker.

Henry on the other hand should have had about 5 in the last 3 games and managed to miss everything.

 

[iced1776]

So Rafa just played the worst 90 minutes I've ever seen him play in what ended up being New York's last game of the season. Simply stood there with his hand up while his mark ran through for the other team's first goal, then proceeded to give away every ball and miss every tackle that came his way for the rest of the game.

Henry also missed a header from 6 yards out that would have equalized.

omg San Jose beat them I don't understand, SJ were pretty mediocre all season.

Damn, a bit sad to hear that
