For my friends Evan and Bonnie, passionate Red Bulls supporters.

In a recent match the New York Red Bulls gave a pretty poor accounting of themselves, giving up three soft goals in the first twenty minutes to visitors Real Salt Lake. New Red Bull acquisition Rafael Marquez, a Mexican international and former Barcelona defender, is truly treating his time in the MLS as retirement (according to Evan), and didn't help his cause with his post game comments.

Now, I've never been a Marquez fan, it stems from the intense USA Mexico rivalry on the international stage. So, I jumped on the Marquez-bashing bandwagon. To the melody of La cucaracha:

Old man Marquez
Hey, old man Marquez
Is it true that you're retired?

You hardly run at all
And never win the ball
Please do us all a favor and retire.

El viejo Marquez
Viejo Marquez
Verdad que estas retirado?

No corres nada
No ganas nada
Por favor senor te jubilarado.
