On Wednesday night, ‘Captain America’ Claudio Reyna (the former USMNT captain now with the New York Red Bulls) and Steve Nash (2005 and 2006 NBA MVP, of the Phoenix Suns) organized an informal charity soccer match. It was meant to be a low-key community event in NYC’s Chinatown…
Nash and Reyna collaborated to bring together a collection of their friends from the worlds of professional soccer and basketball to raise money for their respective foundations.
The rosters included a World Cup winner (the Barcelona striker Thierry Henry), three players who have represented the United States at the international level (Reyna, Jozy Altidore and Gregg Berhalter), a handful of former and current players from the English Premier League (Steve McManaman, Robbie Fowler and Salomon Kalou) as well as a smattering of N.B.A. players (Davis, Jason Kidd, Leandro Barbosa and Raja Bell).
