The long wait is now over, after speculation for years about Thierry Henry joining the MLS, he has officially signed with the New York Redbulls.  Henry has been rumored to join the league since 2007, but was then signed by Barcelona, joining the likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, & Carles Puyol.

The 32-year-old former Arsenal and Barcelona player signed a multiyear contract on Wednesday and he is expected to make his Red Bulls’ debut on July 22 in an exhibition against Premier League club Tottenham.

“Some people might think I am going to go there for vacation — I do actually go there for vacation — but it won’t be for vacation this time,” Henry said in a video interview on the club website. “I’m a competitor and I don’t like to lose.”

Henry was released by Barcelona last month after scoring just four goals last season.

“This marks an exciting new chapter in my career and life,” Henry said.

Henry will be introduced at a press conference on Thursday at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J.

“Thierry is not only a world class player who will undoubtedly improve our squad, but he has shown most importantly throughout his career that he is a winner,” said Erik Soler, general manager and sporting director of the Red Bulls. “He has made it clear to us that he is committed in the short and long term to help in our vision of making our organization the premium franchise in Major League Soccer.”

With France, Henry won the World Cup in 1998 and the 2000 European Championship, but sparked outrage last year when his handball during a playoff match helped to deny Ireland a spot at this year’s World Cup.

At the finals in South Africa, France went out at the group stage after the team was beset by a player protest.

Henry guided Arsenal to the Premier League title in 2002 and 2004 before leaving in 2007 to join Barcelona, where he won six trophies in 2009 — the Champions League, the Spanish league, the Copa del Rey, the Spanish Supercup, the UEFA Supercup and the FIFA Club World Cup.

The Red Bulls, who previously were known as the MetroStars, have a history of signing star players in the twilight of their careers. Italian Roberto Donadoni played for them in 1996 and ’97, Brazilian great Branco was with them in 1997, German Lothar Matthaus in 2000 and Frenchman Youri Djorkaeff was here in 2005 and ’06.

None of them led the team to a title.

Red Bulls leading scorer Juan Pablo Angel welcomed Henry’s arrival, which was announced just days after New York played a 0-0 tie with D.C. United.

“I think it means everything for the industry in this country,” Angel said. “He’s arguably one of the best players in our generation. He’s a player that has won everything he could possibly win in this sport and he’s still fit. I think it’s an honor to have him here. He’s going to be a tremendous addition to the league, to the Red Bulls.”

There have been rumors for almost two years that Henry would one day join the Red Bulls. A year ago, he said he wanted to play in the United States and the door opened recently when he parted ways with Barcelona after a season in which he lost his starting job.

“We have been hearing about it for years now, for it to finally come to fruition is a good thing for the team,” Red Bulls midfielder Seth Stammler said. “I’m sure it’s good for him for the next step in his career. He’s won championships at all levels. To come over here and not prove himself to the world in soccer, but take our team to the next level and hopefully get a championship here will be a good step for him and obviously great for the organization.”

Henry wasn’t a factor in the World Cup. He was not good enough to start for a French team that disgraced itself on and off the field.

However, the Red Bulls hope a combination of Angel and Henry up front can finally lead them to a title.

“It’s kind of wild to think about it,” rookie defender Tim Ream said. “Coming in, I knew I was going to be playing with Juan Pablo and I knew what kind of player he was. You put those two together it’s pretty incredible. Front two, there is not much you can say about them. They are just spectacular players.”

After beating the Kitsap Pumas on Tuesday (6/22/10) 4-1, the Portland Timbers  advanced to the 3rd round of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, to face northwest rivals Seattle Sounders.  The game was played at PGE Park, the site of last year’s match-up against the Sounders, where it saw Seattle take the win 2-1 in front of a sellout crowd.  This year proved to be the same atmosphere, as the Portland Timbers build up for next years promotion into the MLS, where they will meet the Sounders and fellow NW rivals Vancouver Whitecaps in 2011.

Game Details

In front of a sold-out crowd at PGE Park, the Portland Timbers battled Major League Soccer’s Seattle Sounders FC to a 1-1 draw, before losing on penalty kicks 4-3 in a third-round matchup in the 2010 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup before 15,422 on Wednesday.

After going down a goal early, the Timbers were able to pull level late in the first half on a strike by forward Bright Dike. The Northwest rivals played even at 1-1 for 75 minutes, through the second half and a half hour of overtime, before the match was decided in a penalty-kick shootout. Sounders FC goalkeeper Kasey Keller turned in two saves during the shootout to help the MLS side secure the victory and advance to quarterfinals of the tournament.

Forward Nate Jaqua scored the go-ahead goal, midfielder Sanna Nyassi recorded an assist, and Keller recorded six saves during regulation to help Sounders FC defeat Portland in the third round of the U.S. Open Cup for a second straight season. Seattle will face the Los Angeles Galaxy in the quarterfinal round on Wednesday, July 7.

Goalkeeper Steve Cronin managed a backline which faced just 12 shots in 120 minutes of play, Dike scored his fourth goal in U.S. Open Cup play and attempted a team-high four shots and midfielder Ryan Pore logged an assist to lead the Timbers, who faced Sounders FC for a final time in a competitive match before they will joins Seattle in MLS in 2011.

Jaqua, a native of Eugene, Ore., gave Seattle the lead in the 13th minute. From the left side, midfielder Miguel Montano crossed the ball into the box, and Nyassi caught up to it on the back side, just beyond the right post. The midfielder chipped a pass back in for Jaqua on a short, near-sided run. Jaqua re-directed the ball past Cronin and into an open net on the far to lift Sounders FC to a 1-0 advantage.

Dike scored his fifth goal in three games to pull the Timbers even in the 38th minute. Defender Scot Thompson moved the ball up field to Pore inside the offensive third. Pore turned, and then delivered a centering pass to Dike at the top of the box. Fighting off his man, Dike hit a rolling shot from 16 yards out under the out-stretched arms of a diving Keller to knot the score at 1-1.

After a hard-fought second half and 30 minutes of overtime, the match went into a penalty-kick shootout. Keller gave Seattle the advantage on the first attempt from the spot, saving shot by Pore. Sounders FC then converted its first three attempts – Nathan Sturgis, Steve Zakuani and Fredy Montero – to own a 3-2 edge after the first three rounds. A second save by Keller on a shot by Timbers defender Ross Smith allowed Sounders FC defender Zach Scott to cap the shootout at 4-3 in favor of Seattle. Forward Doug DeMartin, midfielder Rodrigo Lopez and defender Mamadou Danso all converted their attempts from the spot for the Timbers.

The Timbers gained a one man advantage in the 101st minute, when Sounders FC defender Taylor Graham was sent off with his second yellow card of the night, following a hard tackle on Dike just outside the box.

Portland had its chances to capture the lead in the second half, and out-shot its MLS counterpart 6-3 in the stanza. Dike drilled a shot on frame in the opening minutes of the second half, but Keller was in position to make the stop.

In the 74th minute, Lopez nearly found the Timbers second goal of the night, aiming at an open net. Keller left his line to challenge Dike all alone at the top of the box. The ball was deflected out to Lopez, who then tried to chip the goalkeeper from 25 yards out, but his shot sailed over the goal.

In the 99th minute, Seattle defender James Riley nearly snuck one by Cronin on a shot from distance. From 30 yards out, Riley drilled a shot from the right and Cronin was able to get in front of it, but the ball popped out of his hands and seemed destined to cross the goal line, but the goalkeeper was able to reel the ball in just in time to keep things level.

While this logo has had much debate in the internet blogs the past few days, it has not been too well received from the fans of the Portland Timbers.  It has not yet been decided if the front office for the Portland Timbers will edit and come up with another version of this logo to appease their fans and supporters.

You can now go to their MLS website to look at the renderings of their stadium, and what it will look like after the construction finishes the major structural modifications of PGE Park.  You can also look at the pricing for seating, as well as purchase season tickets and merchandise from this site.

The following Adult Soccer Leagues play on these scheduled days (Monday through Sunday), followed by the registration deadlines for each league. You can also see the listed Start & End Dates for the upcoming session.

We currently have very few open spots available for all of our leagues, so hurry in and get your friends, co-workers, and family members together to create a team.  If you do not have a team or need players, we can match you up with other players/teams by going HERE.
