Two clubs in the Eastern Conference of MLS will do battle today in a league match between the Philadelphia Union and New York Red Bulls. The first-division clash scheduled for 7 p.m. ET will be held at PPL Park in Philadelphia and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes.
Following New York's 4-1 undressing of the Columbus Crew, all narratives centered on Thierry Henry. The selfless captain attributed to all four of the club's goals on Saturday, prompting striker Bradley Wright-Phillips to sing his praises. "There's not many people that can go out on the left and play like a winger, drop back and play like a central midfielder," said the league's leading goalscorer (via MLS's official website). "We're lucky to have that and it's very unselfish of him to do that."
"He's got the ability to play up front and get a bag full of goals," he added. "It's very unselfish of him and I'm enjoying it."
