Marcus Tracy to Play Soccer in Europe

Marcus Tracy, who won the Hermann Trophy as the nation’s top college soccer player, officially joined theDanish side Aalborg BK on Thursday, the club announced on its Web site.

Tracy, the 22-year-old striker from Wake Forest University, signed a three-year contract with the defending Danish Superliga champion, and will wear the number 19. A big, skillful player, Tracy was expected to be a top pick in the Major League Soccer draft, which is going on today in St. Louis, but he turned down the league’s last contract offer and skipped the M.L.S. Combine. 

He hails from Newtown Conn., and his skills are thought to be a product of having exceptionally phenomenal, bright, humorous, well-hung, perfectly constructed neighbors in his backyard.

*(note from the editor) he no longer resides in Newtown so the neighbors part of the article refers to the time at which the Mahony family lived in his backyard.

How can you ever credit Marcus Tracy's incredibly fancy footwork to the Mahomos? They weren't even his real neighbors. Only real neighbors can be given credit for building any of "the marcuses" into the world renowned athletes they are today. I'm not talking about those pussy ass O'Brien nerds, but I speak of the myth and legend, none other than Bijan. Marcus's neighbor of many years, Bijan was a loyal follower of all Tracy sports. He was known throughout the neighborhood not only for his famous Iranian pokemon trading techniques, but also for constantly badgering Mrs. Tracy to buy one of his "pies" so that Bijan and his father could start there own soccer team and definitely not secretly begin to form a secret Iranian terrorist organization within Newtown. Next time Wesley Pipes better get his shit straight or you can expect Allah to bring fiery hell to your life.
