On March 5 of 2011 David, my friend Sam and I drove to Tucson for a double header soccer match. The first match was between the Arizona Sahuaros and Tucson FC. This is the first year that Tucson has had a team. The next game was between the newly formed Sporting Kansas City and the New York Red bulls. We had a great time watching some of the legends of Soccer.
Here is a picture of Thierry Henry jocking for position. Henry used to play for Arsenal and FC Barcelona before coming to the US. He also played for the French national team. When Henry scored the first goal of the game I heard David say, "I just saw Thierry Henry score a goal!!!"
Rafa Marquez taking a free kick. Rafa also played for FC Barcelona and played for the Mexican national team.
Both teams lined up for the National Anthem.
Only in AZ would you see a Mariachi Band at an MLS game.
