"That was my way to give a shout-out to the MetroStars," Thierry Henry told reporters. "As you can see and as I can see, there a lot of guys that coming to the game with the MetroStars shirt. We all know and well aware and understand that this is a Red Bulls team, that's not going to change."

"But every now and then, you can always give a shout-out to where the team started. You've got to remind people that you kind of know about their history and it takes time but you can see we're trying to play our hardest."
