For fans, the game on Saturday August 14 between Los Angeles Galaxy and the New York Red Bulls is going to be full of excitement because of a few big names. The game will be televised live on Fox Soccer Channel and Kickoff will be at 6:00 p.m.

By signing Thierry Henry and Rafael Marquez, New York has made some major headlines across the MLS and the entire global soccer world, in the last several weeks. To bring these two players from Barcelona F.C. to an American club, it was an interesting move.

Marquez is the star of the Mexican national team, while Henry is one of the greatest French strikers of all time. To fill up the new Red Bull Arena almost to capacity is what these two international stars promise. Henry’s and Marquez’s second home game appearances, it is expected that more than 20,000 fans will show up at Red Bull Arena. Red Bulls true star, Juan Pablo Angel has been overshadowed by all of this talk about the new arrivals. In fact, in this season once again by scoring more than 10 goals in less than 20 games so far, Angel has proved his striking abilities.

The clash of New York and Los Angeles will be a fight between the league’s best teams. While the Red Bulls are the second best in the Eastern conference, so far the Galaxy comes in with the best MLS record. To lead Los Angeles to a victory against New York, there are plenty of expectations on Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle. Can the Galaxy handle the pressure of facing some of the biggest names in MLS, the question remains?
