Halftime....

Red Bulls half time guys...


freebies...always popular

well---our boyfriend kind of looks like this...eye candy for sure...

there were a lot of great players on the field but given an age/skills ratio--the Steve Nash scion (in the middle) was the best on the field. An amazing touch...incredible to see...


Stu Holden recognizes a star player when he sees one...

Alessandro Noselli

two 35 minute halfs--and hot and humid...but no slack here....
