New York Red Bulls forward Juan Pablo Angel is featured in the October 2007 issue of People en Espanol as one of the 10 Sexiest Men in the United States for 2007. The issue hits newsstands today. For a complete list of the 10 men, log on to www.peopleenespanol.com.
Angel, 31, is in the midst of his first year with the Red Bulls and has already matched the team goal scoring record of 16, set in 2000 by Adolfo Valencia. Already established as a MLS Most Valuable Player candidate, the two-time MLS Player of the Month and Player of the Week was also named the MVP for the MLS All-Star Game on July 19.
"It's an honor to receive such a distinction especially from a magazine as important as People En Espanol," said Angel. "More important to me is the success of the team, after that if the awards come to me, I would welcome them."
A native of Medellin, Colombia, Angel joined the Red Bulls from Aston Villa of the English Premiership on April 17. During his career, Angel has played for the Colombian National Team and enjoyed successful playing stints for clubs in England, Argentina and Colombia.
Angel and the Red Bulls are one step away from qualifying for the 2007 MLS playoffs as they host Real Salt Lake on Saturday, September 29 at 7:30 pm at Giants Stadium (TV: Fox Soccer Channel, Spanish Radio: WADO 1280).
