Thierry Henry scores!!!! And the crowd went wild, giving him a standing ovation in the USA. Yes! In the USA, the crowd went crazy as Henry tucked in his first goal for the New York Red Bulls.

The fans loved him!  People said David Beckham could not make soccer popular in the USA. I am sorry but the sport is well and truly on the rise to stardom. David Beckham, Landon Donovan, and now Thierry Henry are a few names of world class players who can entertain people with the beautiful game.
