*Ding Ding* let the battle begin!!! Looks like two of my favorite teams will be facing each other in the UEFA semi- finals. Those two teams are FC Barcelona and FC Bayern Munich. Last week four teams were drawn randomly to face each other in the semi – finals. Juventus and Real Madrid were both selected to face each other and Barcelona and Bayern Munich were selected to face each other. However, this will be a very interesting match up because not only two of my favorite teams are facing each other but the head coaches of Barcelona and Bayern Munich use to be teammates!!! Yes that’s right, Luis Enrique of FC Barcelona and Pep Guardiola of FC Bayern Munich were once teammates back in FC Barcelona in there younger years. And also Pep Guardiola was the former head coach of FC Barcelona. So this will be a match that will catch the attention of everyone around the world. Personally I don’t know whom I would support in this match because I love both teams and it is always hard to pick one team that you would want to really win. All I know is that two of Europe’s biggest team will be competing against each other and it will be the most intense game in the semi finals. My predictions is that the game will go into penalty kicks and that’s when fans of both teams will lose there minds because penalty shoot outs are the most heart racing thing when it comes to soccer. Who do you think will win this match? Who do you support and want to see win? Leave a comment and let me know.

New York need to sign a big name player!!

 

Red Bull Arena In Harrison New Jersey

The New York Red Bulls season has kicked off and so far they are in first place of the Eastern Conference. With two wins and one tie game, the Red Bulls are looking fantastic at the start of this season. However, this article will talk about my own opinion and why the Red Bulls need a well-known player to sign. Back in 2010 the Red Bulls had signed two big name players and they were Thierry Henry and Rafael Marquez who were both former FC Barcelona players. These two players brought a lot of fans to support Red Bulls and although Rafa Marquez did not make a lot contribution to the team, Thierry Henry certainly did. But both players’ no longer plays for the Red Bulls, Rafa Marquez went on to play in his home land of Mexico and Thierry Henry had retired from soccer (futbol). In my opinion the Red Bulls should of gone to the market and get some big name players to help the Red Bulls win the MLS Cup. Last season they had a great season and made it to the final Eastern conference playoffs. Of course with the help of Thierry Henry and the rest of the players they had a great season. Some believe that a big name player with a lot of experience will help the Red Bulls win the MLS cup. In some case it may be true, but someone with experience can be a great leader for the team just like Thierry Henry. Personally I would like to see Brazilian super star Ronaldinho who also is a former FC Barcelona player, but is currently playing in Mexico. Ronaldinho is a player with a lot of talent and if he were to be part of the Red Bulls he could definitely be a threat in the midfield. He is known for his dribbling skills and being able to make his opponents struggle to get the ball from him. Although Ronaldinho is getting old he still has a lot of talent to bring. Overall, any soccer player who has played in big name teams would be very helpful to the Red Bulls in the seasons. Leave a comment on what you think about a new signing and which big name player you would like to see play at Red Bull Arena.
