This article doesn't have much new information, but in contrast to the one that was linked on the Kick Off, its far more definite on the defender's future plans.

Both include a lame 'Nesta discovers America' pun, but the Sky article I linked here is quite explicit:
"the defender has decided: at the end of the season he will leave Milan...he will play for the Red Bulls together with Henry and Marquez...he will say goodbye to calcio, destination New York...the third (DP) will be Nesta."

Unlike the first article, which was written in much more indefinite terms, the only caveat here is quickly dismissed.
"The agreement is not yet in black and white, but it will be."

So obviously this wouldn't be the first time a sports journalist has gotten things wrong (still waiting on Stephen Ireland,) but this author makes it sound much more like a done deal than the first guy did.

The second of what I hope will be a long series...

Nevermind that the team won the game 4-1, and never looked in trouble. Nevermind that he's got 7 goals and 4 assists on the season, that he's been the only player on the team with consistent quality in all 5 games this year.

Forget for a moment that he's a living legend who's won almost every trophy and honor his sport has to offer, and who has a friggin statue of himself outside the historic club where he's the all-time leader in goals.

You should forget all that, because he seems to.

And maybe that's part of why he's great. The great ones make it look easy because they want it so bad and work so hard to get it.

It's not only the individual accomplishments, but the fact that he wants more from himself and everyone else that makes him the Man.

I saw this link posted on the MLS website's Kick Off. Although its in Italian, the article credits sources in the American Press: (my translation)

The future of Clarence Seedorf could be with the stars and stripes: according to a report in the American press, David Beckham is trying to convince the Dutch midfielder to join him in Major Soccer League (sic), the American soccer championship. Like many of his teammates, Seedorf's contract expires at the end of June and at the moment the future of the Dutch international is shrouded in mystery. For months now the possibility of Seedorf leaving Italy, mainly for Brazil, has been discussed, but there's also the option of remaing for another year in Milan, with the goal of winning the Champions League, an objective for which the rossoneri are still on course. At the end of the season, the paths of Seedorf and Milan will be made clear, and the Dutch playmaker could be buying a one way ticket for California.

obviously the current league structure wouldn't allow another DP to come to LA, but the rules have been known to change, even in midseason, especially where LA is concerned.

Follow this link and play the video of the Henry interview.

You can tell losing just eats him up inside. Definitely the kind of attitude you want from the captain of your team. (not to mention how hard he plays.)

Rafa Marquez was a guest on Univision's Republica Deportiva this sunday, following NY's win over Portland without him. My Spanish is not so great, but he seems to blame being bood by the fans and there was a mention of something being lost in translation.

At any rate he apparently disavows the comments and the rest is standard pro athlete boilerplate, take it one game at a time etc.

"I know that I won't be part of this team next year, for a fact"

So says the onetime franchise, the best player in club history, the best MLS DP signing ever, etc.

It's a business decision, but does that make it a good one? Has he lost a step? He does have more goals than everyone in the league except for two guys.
Is there a chance we see him in TFC Red, or DC Black, or whatever you want to call the Philadelphia strip, next season?
