Tierry Henry will be joining RedBUll New York this Summer. I am absolutely going to go into the city and go watch this world class player live.

 

[PP]

Unfortunately he's no longer world class.

You are smoking crack. He is 32. He still has a few years left in him and hes going to dick on MLS defenders.

32 [about to turn 33 next month] is usually a good 2-4 years past your prime. He played very few games for Barca and they even chose to use a left back upfront instead of him at one point. France also had him sitting on the bench for the majority of the world cup

In the few games he managed to play last year, his legs appeared to be gone.

He might be able to destroy some MLS defenders but he is far from world class at this point in his career.

Aston Villa and England striker Emile Heskey has announced his retirement from international football after collecting 62 caps and scoring seven goals over an 11-year career for his country.

The 32-year-old cut an unpopular figure with some supporters during his time with the Three Lions, but travelled to the 2002 and 2010 World Cups, the European Championships in 2000 and also 2004.

As the target man for England, he mainly partnered Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney up-front in his international appearances.

In an official statement released to the media today, Heskey said: "I've enjoyed every moment of my England career and worn the shirt with pride every time I've been fortunate enough to have been selected.

"I'd like to thank every manager I've played under, everyone at the Football Association and the fans for all their support over the years.

"I wish the management team and the playing squad all the best for the future."

The former Leicester City, Liverpool, Birmingham City and Wigan Athletic centre-forward was given his first call-up to the England squad by Glenn Hoddle for the friendly against the Czech Republic in November 18, 1998. He had to wait, however, until April 28, 1999 to make his debut against Hungary under Kevin Keegan.

His final display for his country came in the 4-1 second round humiliation at the hands of Germany at World Cup 2010 on June 27, when he was controversially thrown on as a substitute in the 71st minute.

He'll dick MLS defenders because most if not all suck dick, not because he's world class.

If you truly are world class, the MLS is not an option.

This

Henry >>>>> MLS defenders.

 

[BigHouseUSA]

MLS Defenders >>>>>> Emile Heskey

 

[BigHouseUSA]

Emily Heskey >>>> :hitler

 

[davie]

At the 2010 World Cup

Emile Heskey >>> Wayne Rooney

 

[Bigpapa42]

Henry to NY is interesting. He should be able to score quite prolifically. His profile alone should help the league as a whole. Interesting that he's coming in at such a low point in his career, though. Different situation from Beckham in that regard.

 

[CaribbeanJoseph]

A lot of defenders >>>>>>> Emile Heskey

At the 2010 World Cup

Emile Heskey >>> Wayne Rooney

100% on both

Went and saw the Union beat the Celtic in a friendly. Really starting to love the sport of "futbol".

I was in the 2nd row by the one corner near the Sons of Ben, the 2nd half was pretty boring until the flares haha

You are smoking crack. He is 32. He still has a few years left in him and hes going to dick on MLS defenders.

Which makes him world class how exactly?

Thats like saying Shaq is still world class if he went to Europe and averaged 20/10 in the Greek Domestic League.

I'm trying to pick a Club and I could use some help. Mmy last name is Houtz so obviously I'm pretty fucking German. What are some good clubs to read up on and get into?

Picking a club to support in "futbol" is different than almost any other sport. For one, there is no enforced parity like there is in North American team sports - so if you pick a mid-level club, you can end up supporting a club that may go many years between trophies. There is also the possibility of relegation to contend with...

Some of the big clubs you might want to take a look at...

England: Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, Newcastle, Everton

Spain: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia

Germany: Bayern Munich, Hamburg, Werder Bremen, Wolfsburg, Bayer Leverkusen

Italy: Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Roma

 

[wr50l]

You can call them Tims, Fenian Fucks, Unwashed Bastards, Child Raping Irish but please don't call them the Celtic.

There is a certain team north of London I feel the same way about.

 

[1ke]

Seriously...I felt for El Nino, when I saw him pull up in the last minute. Guy cant get healthy, is it true he'll be out for a year?

 

[1ke]

OHHHHH....Well then....I only kinda feel for him now...lol

I guess i can go back to hating his guts for what hes about to do to Vidic then huh?

 

[wingsfan77]

Celtic didn't play pretty much any of their starters last night but the ones that were in flopped around and bitched at the refs the whole game

 

[inthecards21]

im trying to pick a club in the Premiership and i love the Steelers to death so what would be a similar team outside of "the big four"?
