Thierry Henry once said that he would love to live in New York City because he wouldn't get the kind of attention he gets in Europe.
"When I'm in America I can be myself, I have no eyes on me. If I want to stop and buy a slice of pizza, pay man and just sit on a bench I can do that."
After last night's "Showdown in Chinatown," he might want to rethink that notion. Adam Spangler at This is American Soccer noted that Henry had plenty of eyes on him -- perhaps even more than NBA stars like Steve Nash, Baron Davis and Jason Kidd, or former Red Bull Jozy Altidore. Adam has an excellent photo essay on the event here, and you can find some decent Flickr photo sets here and here.

I know that this is kind of a pick up soccer game, but guys were wearing kaki shorts and baseball caps? Doesn't seem like much of a "Showdown" to me...
