And the rich get richer.

Already sporting the best frontline tandem in Major League Soccer in the form of Juan Pablo Angel and his fellow designated player, Thierry Henry, the New York Red Bulls have added Henry's former Barcelona teammate Rafael Marquez.

Getting a mega-watt star like Thierry Henry was a big deal—he's a global brand, and he's a scorer. Adding a player like Marquez, the captain of the Mexican national team, might be an even bigger deal.

Rafa, a central defender for Barcelona, plays defensive midfielder for his national team. The Red Bulls plan to use him in that midfielder role as well. In addition to choking off the opponents attacking runs, Marquez will excel at turning defense into offense and be the primary link between the two. Just picture a Marquez to Henry to Angel counterattack—scary stuff.

Like Henry, Marquez is just 31 years old. Like Henry, he does not consider MLS a retirement home. Neither player is that far removed from his prime and both are here to add to their glory (win titles), not bask in it.

While not hugely popular with fans of the U.S. national team (his flying head butt of Cobi Jones during the 2002 World Cup won't soon be forgotten), he will be a huge hit with the sizable Mexican population in New York and around the country. This is especially important given Cuauhtemoc Blanco's decision to not return to the Chicago Fire this season.

The Red Bulls have become the first MLS team to take advantage of a recent rule change that allows teams to sign up to three designated players whose salary does not count against the salary cap ($350,000 counts toward the cap and is paid by the league, the remainder is paid by the team's owners). New York now has the highest payroll in MLS history.

Like their baseball counterpart, the New York Yankees, the talent and payroll level of the Red Bulls has raised expectations significantly. Already sitting in second place in the Eastern Conference (fourth overall), New York quite simply needs to win their first MLS Cup to validate their spending. Anything less will be a major disappointment for fans of both the Red Bulls and MLS.

If New York is able to import its way to a title, two results could follow: other MLS teams (are you listening New England!?) will have to open the wallets if they want to compete, and more elite-level talent could come to view MLS as an attractive resume builder.

MLS has done a fantastic job growing the league over the last 15 years, but it is obvious that the talent level needs to increase if the league is to flourish. There could be no greater PR campaign than seeing the L.A. Galaxy squaring off against the Red Bulls in the finals.

Marquez is slated to make his Red Bulls debut on Sunday against the Chicago Fire. He is expected to start in what is being billed as a "DP Showdown." The Fire have two designated players of their own (and are looking to obtain a third) in Mexican forward Nerry Castillo and Swedish midfielder Freddy Ljungberg. The game is at 9PM (ET) and will be shown on ESPN2.

The outcome for the Los Angeles Galaxy's exhibition with Real Madrid might as well be decided long before the match even begins at the Rose Bowl.

Bruce Arena's Galaxy will be limping into the Rose Bowl with a string of defeats to the Chicago Fire in MLS play and the Puerto Rico Islanders on aggregate in the CONCACAF Champions League.

Whereas for Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid Club de Futbol, they are primed for a shot at hoisting some hardware in La Liga.

Real Madrid are a side that have hoisted their share of hardware. They won La Liga in the 1931–32, 1932–33, 1953–54, 1954–55, 1956–57, 1957–58, 1960–61, 1961–62, 1962–63, 1963–64, 1964–65, 1966–67, 1967–68, 1968–69, 1971–72, 1974–75, 1975–76, 1977–78, 1978–79, 1979–80, 1985–86, 1986–87, 1987–88, 1988–89, 1989–90, 1994–95, 1996–97, 2000–01, 2002–03, 2006–07, and 2007–08 seasons.

During the 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1917, 1933–34, 1935–36, 1945–46, 1946–47, 1961–62, 1969–70, 1973–74, 1974–75, 1979–80, 1981–82, 1988–89 and 1992–93 campaigns, Real Madrid won the Copa Del Rey.

Then there is the UEFA Champions League. Real Madrid were the first winners of this major competition and won the 1955–56, 1956–57, 1957–58, 1958–59, 1959–60, 1965–66, 1997–98, 1999–2000 and 2001–02 editions. Finally, Los Blancos won the FIFA Club World Cup in 1960, 1998 and 2002.

Last year, Real Madrid finished three points behind Barcelona for first place in La Liga and exited the Champions League in the first knockout round 2-1 to Olympique Lyonnais on aggregate. In the Copa del Rey, Los Blancos finished in the round of 32.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina's Gonzalo Higuain form Real Madrid's scoring nucleus. Ronaldo, the face of Portuguese football, scored 26 goals in La Liga to go with seven in UEFA Champions League play. Higuain leads the team in most goals scored in La Liga with 27.

Cristiano Ronaldo played with an abbreviated side against Club America on Aug. 4 at Candlestick Park in San Francisco and scored a decisive free kick to help Los Blancos to a 3-2 victory.

The rest of the team took part in a special training session at UCLA, where 200 supporters took plenty of shots of Kaka and Casillas warming up, among others.

“MLS is a very, very good league," Casillas said after training. "Obviously, people like Rafa Marquez and Thierry Henry are here, so something must be great about this league. Landon Donovan is, no doubt, a very good player [and] I expect when we play them on Saturday, we will have a great match."

Flattering statements from Real's keeper, to say the least.

But I'll be honest with you all: Real Madrid will not be doing any justice to themselves or their hosts if they don't blow the Galaxy out of the water.

This is a side that should go off to a fast start this season, and Los Angeles will get a firsthand glance as to why Real Madrid deserves the pedigree they have.

This won't be close, it will be a massacre in the making.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. PT and will be televised by Fox Soccer Channel and Fox Sports en Español.

Next up for the Buddlevan Connection...Brazil

Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle have been called up to the U.S. National Team for a friendly with Brazil on Tuesday, Aug. 10 at the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Some superlatives to run you through for the Galaxy's No. 10 and 14: Donovan will go into next week’s game against Brazil as the all-time leader in goals for the U.S. with 45 in 127 appearances for his country.

Three of those goals came this summer in South Africa, with the Galaxy captain scoring against Slovenia, Algeria and Ghana. 

Donovan, who is also the National Team’s all-time leader with 45 career assists, leads MLS with 11 assists on the season, while adding five goals in 13 games.

On Sunday against Chicago, He became the sixth player in MLS history to reach 100 career regular season goals by converting a first-half penalty kick.

Of his 100 goals, 69 have come as a member of the Galaxy, leaving him one goal shy of Cobi Jones’ club record of 70 regular season goals.

As for Edson Buddle, he has made five appearances for the U.S., including two at the World Cup in South Africa.

The 29-year-old has two goals in those five games, with both tallies coming in a 3-1 friendly win over Australia on June 5 in Roodepoort, South Africa.

The leading scorer in MLS this season with 12 goals in 14 games, Buddle had been capped by the U.S. just once prior to being included in the initial preliminary World Cup roster which was announced in mid-May.

These are the players called up to the national team for the friendly.

GOALKEEPERS (2): Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton)

DEFENDERS (6): Carlos Bocanegra (Saint-Étienne), Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover), Clarence Goodson (IK Start), Chad Marshall (Columbus Crew), Jonathan Spector (West Ham United)

The Webster's dictionary defines a Pyrrhic victory as "A very costly victory, wherein the considerable losses outweigh the gain, so as to render the struggle not worth the cost."

In a sense, Bruce Arena's Los Angeles Galaxy ended their CONCACAF Champions League run with a 2-1 victory over the Puerto Rico Islanders at Bayamon's Juan Roman Loubriel Stadium that can be seen as such. It can also be seen as a meaningless victory because the Colin Clarke's Islanders advance 5-3 on aggregate.

This is the price Arena must pay for not fielding his entire starting eleven. Then again, after the starting eleven's backline collapsed against the Chicago Fire on Sunday, it may not have made much difference in the long run.

This is a Galaxy team that needs to get its priorities set, and set straight. Los Angeles clearly took this tournament lightly after their patchwork lineup became an over-the-hill babyshambles last Wednesday at the Home Depot Center.

Are they that obsessed with the "dream match" (which probably looks to be nothing more than a Pasadena massacre) against Real Madrid? To play against Cristiano Ronaldo, Iker Casillas, Gonzalo Higuain and his ilk? I'm starting to doubt if they will hoist the Supporters' Shield, let alone the Anschutz Trophy by season's end.

Los Angeles let their frustrations get the better of them, although in all honesty Trevor Taylor looked to be biased towards to home side. And I can't blame him.

I mean, if I was in his shoes, I would do the same thing and make this a mere formality from the first whistle. This was not a Champions League run the Galaxy will want to remember.

A lottery approach when finding the net.

The lack of intestinal fortitude to outmuscle eight or nine defenders in the box.

Atrocious passing and and shot selection.

A back line that would be a mere afterthought to any shrewd fantasy football manager at the maximum.

And a regrettable decision to sit Donovan Ricketts and Omar Gonzalez in the first leg.

When you combine all of these elements together, what do you get? A first round exit at the hands of La Tropa Naranja, who should have a newly anointed nickname: Los Asesinos De Los Gigantes. The Giant Killers.

If Bruce Arena's seat isn't getting hot at the point, sweet mercy, someone please light a match.

Clint Mathis...we hardly knew ye

To add insult to injury, Clint Mathis will retire from soccer after the Real Madrid exhibition on Saturday.

Mathis, a 33-year-old midfielder, played 11 years in Major League Soccer and had stints in Germany and Greece. He also made 46 appearances for the United States national team.

"In his prime he was as good a goal scorer as our country has ever produced," Arena said on Mathis's retirement. "We will miss Clint and are indebted to his contributions to MLS and U.S. soccer."

"It has been an amazing and exciting ride, full of moments and people that will stay with me forever," Mathis said during a press conference earlier this week. "I cannot thank everyone who has been a part of this journey with me enough for all that you have done to help me enjoy such a fulfilling life in the sport of soccer."

Well, there's always coaching, Clint. There's always coaching.

The Superliga 2010 Semifinals between the New England Revolution and Puebla FC was a classic clash of the football/soccer titans of North America. The result was a 1-1 tie between the two teams in regular time with the game determined by penalty kicks.

The first goal was scored by Mansally for the Revs at 55 minutes with a left-foot kick into the left lateral area of the net. The response of Puebla was fast with Olivera scoring an equalizer with a right-footed kick from distance toward the center of the goal.

Before the goals, the game was lacking in excitement as both teams measured their strength. Afterward, the game was then a struggle for possession of the game between the two teams as they attempted to score another goal.

It was not to be as the game went into penalties with both teams scoring goals until Lugo failed to score for Puebla. Mansally finally scored the winning goal with another left-footed kick into the goal and New England made Superliga 2010 history by advancing to the finals.

New England will face either the winner of the Houston Dynamos and Morelia Monarcas in the finals.

Dynamic Colombian striker Fredy Montero was on fire during July, and the MLS as well as the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) recognized this, naming him Player of the Month on Wednesday.

Montero, who was also named to the MLS All-Star team two years in a row, guided the Seattle Sounders to a surge in which the team climbed out of the Western Conference lower ranks to a position currently challenging for a playoff spot.

During July, the speedy forward contributed two goals and three assists in five games, helping steer Seattle to a 3-1-1 record during that span.

Montero's hot streak began with a 14th minute goal on July 11 that lifted the Sounders to a 1-1 draw against FC Dallas. 

He had a surge of eight games in which he garnered either a goal or an assist. 

This ended in early August on Tuesday, with a 1-1 draw in San Salvador against Metapan in CONCACAF competition. 

Had the rain not have been so heavy and the ground so muddy, the speedy Montero would have had a better chance to extend his streak.

On July 15, Montero supplied the assist on teammate Roger Levesque's 89th minute game-winning goal against D.C. United.

The win was the first of three consecutive Seattle victories to close out July.

One week later, Montero added two more assists, connecting with forward Steve Zakuani twice for the opening goal of the game as well as the game-winning tally in the 2-1 victory over the Colorado Rapids.

Montero continued his offensive tear when the team traveled to San Jose to face the Earthquakes on July 31.

The 23 year-old, who celebrated his birthday July 27, was responsible for the only goal of the game when he powered a header past goalkeeper Jon Busch in the 26th minute, good for three points on the road.

This is Montero's second Player of the Month award.

His first came in March 2009, the first month of his MLS debut.

It is the third Player on the Month award for Sounders FC as Freddie Ljungberg achieved the prestigious honor in October 2009.

Montero is a native of Campo de la Cruz, Colombia. 

He was acquired by Seattle in 2009 from Deportivo Cali, where in 2008, he led the Copa Mustang League in scoring with 16 goals.

In 2007, Montero led the league with 13 goals for Atlético Huila. He has appeared three times for the Colombian national team.

The Major League Soccer Player of the Month is selected following the last regular season game of each month by a panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR).

The group consists of members of print, television, radio, and online media.

The steady, heavy rain failed to dampen Seattle Sounders' spirits as a hard fought 1-1 tie at San Salvador’s Estadio Cuscatlan Tuesday night against host Metapan translated into an overall win.

It was a win because the U.S. and El Salvador teams were playing a two-game home and home series to see who advances to the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League preliminary series.

Last week in Seattle in the team’s first meeting of the series, the Sounders defeated Metapan 1-0 on a 40-yard blast by Fredy Montero.

With the 1-1 draw Tuesday, the Sounders secured the winning 2-1 aggregate advantage on overall goals scored.

On Tuesday and the week before, the deciding goals came after Seattle Coach Sigi Schmid made key second half substitutions.

Montero had been inserted into action in the final third of the contest and scored seconds after entering the pitch.

Tuesday night the new face on the Seattle roster, rangy Uruguayan Alvaro Fernandez, emerged as man of the hour with a nifty 10-yard header in the 73rd minute just nine minutes after entering the match.

It marked the first score of Fernandez’ Sounders career.

The score came on a superbly placed pass from defender James Riley, who provided great defense all evening in one of his finest career Sounder efforts.

Riley went down and was briefly injured late in the contest. A close look at him revealed what a tough contest it had been as he was covered in mud because of the incessant rain.

A Sounders team that thrives on rapid play might well have been adjusting to unfavorable elements in the first half as the action was pressed by Metapan.

Three of Kasey Keller’s four saves on the evening came in the first 45 minutes of play. Also, the Sounders did not get their first corner kick of the evening until early in the second half.

Veteran Metapan coach Edwin Portillo had said after the match in Seattle that circumstances made his team play a pressing attack game after failing to garner the tie on the road that it would take to go into the home contest the following week in at least an even status or perhaps better with the Sounders.

The home team rocked Seattle on its heels with an early goal, Metapan took the lead with a goal in the 17th minute.

Rodolfo Suarez chipped a cross from the end line that found Anel Canalez in the box. Canalez's header from six yards snuck inside the far post.

Sounders had a tough first half to say the least. It appeared initially that Roger Levesque had scored an equalizer.

In the 53rd minute, Levesque knocked in the rebound of Osvaldo Alonso's long-range shot, but the goal was disallowed due to offside.

It had been thought by many going into the contest that the Sounders had a solid chance of advancing to the next round of competition by scoring one goal, considering how solidly the team’s defense has been in recent weeks.

This view was validated as the newly acquired Fernandez became his team’s hero of the evening as the Sounders marched on after a determined effort on the slow traction, mud-splattered San Salvador pitch.

One positive Sounders string was broken on Tuesday, though.

This was the first time after eight successive games that red hot striker Fredy Montero had failed to either score or secure an assist.

Bolstered by an enhanced offensive second half performance, the Sounders secured an overall edge of 9-7 in shots and a 7-5 advantage on goal.

This included six second half shots on target. The statistical closeness verifies the tough, contested nature of the match.

Sounders FC is unbeaten in its last seven games in all competitions with a glowing 6-0-1 mark.

By virtue of Tuesday’s win, the Sounders join the group stage with Monterrey of Mexico, Saprissa of Costa Rica, and the winner of the preliminary round match-up between Tauro of Panama and Marathon of Honduras.

Marathon defeated Tauro, 3-0, on the road in the first leg. They meet again Wednesday.

Seattle returns home to resume MLS play when it hosts the Houston Dynamo Sunday night on the Xbox Pitch at Qwest Field.

Kickoff is set for 8 p.m.

Harrison, NJ—For the second time in three weeks, media from around the world descended upon Red Bull Arena to be introduced to a new Designated Player for the New York Red Bulls.

Two weeks ago Thierry Henry became possibly the greatest DP signing the league had seen. Many could argue that their newest addition, Mexican national team captain Rafael Marquez, could be even bigger.

You could read it in the body language from the dignitaries speaking at the press conference (Red Bull’s Global Soccer Director Dietmar Beiersdorfer, Red Bull New York’s GM Eric Soler, Head Coach Hans Backe & MLS Commissioner Don Garber) and hear the excitement in their voices—this signing is hugely significant, not only to the Red Bulls on the field, but to the franchise and Major League Soccer in general off the field too.

Of course at the introductory press conference, attention was mainly focused towards Marquez the player and person. Coach Backe discussed his experience of working with Rafa before as he spent 11 months as an assistant coach with the Mexican national team.

He stated how Marquez will operate as a defensive midfield player for the Red Bulls (despite most of his career being spent as a central defender) as his ability to distribute the ball is so much higher than the league norm. He also added the Rafa man has a tremendous club house presence that will benefit the other members of the squad, particularly his younger players who fans have dubbed the "Baby Bulls".

The 31-year-old met his new teammates earlier on in the day when he practiced with them for the first time, although it is currently undecided when he will make his debut as he works his way back to full fitness after vacationing since the World Cup.

In private interviews given later in the proceedings, Beiersdorfer and Soler elaborated a little more on what the Marquez signing could do for the club off the field.

There are an estimated one million Mexicans living in the greater New York City area, yet generating interest in the MLS to this potential fan base has proved futile in the past. One thing to be said of Mexican soccer fans, they are loyal to their own.

About 78,000 attended the Mexico/Ecuador game at New Medowlands Stadium earlier this year and many of those will be looking to show their support to El Tri’s captain now that he is a Red Bull. Who knows, maybe they’ll wind up giving support to the rest of the team too? That is one of the goals of the signing that Beiersdorfer and Soler eluded to.

Indeed, one of the most interesting quotes from Marquez from the day was on why he chose the Red Bulls over the other offers he received. He believed he needed a new challenge away from Europe and would probably see more minutes on the field of this side of the Atlantic. But why the U.S and not back home to Mexico? Because he believes that the MLS is currently much superior in it’s organization and running of it’s league than it’s Mexican counterparts. Fascinating coming from the nation's captain.

Great player? Check. Increase Hispanic support of the team and league? Check. But one final question remains on his move to MLS: how will he be received by the United States supporters? Not only are the US and Mexico huge rivals, Marquez has often been portrayed as the biggest villain on the Mexican team by most U.S fans.

Reading Red Bull fan comments online, they are almost unanimously ready to embrace Rafa as one of their own and forget about his past tangles with their countrymen. On the road? “I’m used to it,” he says when asked on the subject. “Whatever they want to say or do is fine by me”.

Potential fan abuse he gets on the road will happen, assuming that it will be heard over the noise of adoring Mexican fans who step out to see him when he travels. Didn’t we say earlier that this signing is good for the league as a whole?

Whereas Thierry Henry may well be a more decorated and recognizable player to the casual soccer fan, the impact of Rafa Marquez’ move to the Red Bulls has the potential to be far greater down the road.

"I'm a happy man today," Backe said at the press conference.

He's not the only one.

Eric Soler also added that a decision on what the corresponding roster move will be has not yet been decided. He revealed that multiple clubs had expressed interest in several Red Bulls players and that the club must decide what the best offer is going forward.
