"Soccer Fan Knows This Game Will Be Turning Point For Jozy"

RETIREMENT-
International soccer legend Thierry Henry announced his early retirement today, adding his name to the long list of promising players ruined by Major League Soccer. He came to MLS over four years ago after stints in the Premier League and La Liga, bringing his impressively skilled game to the New York Red Bulls.

But this high-flying Frenchman ventured too close to the sun, the sun in this metaphor being the overly physical style of play and restrictive salary structure of Major League Soccer. “I just couldn’t go on playing the game after that,” Henry told us when we sat down with him at his South Florida retirement community.

“I feel like I could still keep playing, but the game is ruined for me. In America, there is no promotion and relegation, which changes everything. What is the point? If you can’t be relegated to a lower league, then you are playing for nothing. Nothing at all. I used to love this game, but MLS and its single entity have stolen that from me.”

Thierry Henry, who was reportedly offered starting roles at several EPL clubs following his move from MLS, has opted to move instead to the Shady Palms Retirement Village in Boca Raton where he will learn to paint and plans on participating in the afternoon shuffleboard league which, of course, features three tiers of promotion and relegation.

this is some good stuff.

Fake Microphone

Has a loved one expressed interest in starting a podcast to give "their take" on American soccer? Did he or she even go so far as to ask for a podcasting microphone during this holiday season? Do the world a favor and get him this fake microphone. It plugs into the computer, flashes its little red light, and then ensures that whatever is said in that lonely home office stays there. As your little podcast personality goes on about how Klinsmann prefers Germany and MLS needs to accept promotion and relegation, you can rest easy knowing it's probably just a phase and no one will ever need to hear about it.
