Here's the starting eleven announced by MLS today. Im not too pleased with that starting Defense. Hejduk should be in the bench. Aside from that it all looks good. Oh and DeRosario should be starting since he always tends to do well in All-Star games.
Starting 11 G - Matt Reis D - Michael Parkhurst D - Frankie Hejduk D - Jimmy Conrad M - David Beckham M - Cuauhtémoc Blanco M - Shalrie Joseph M - Sacha Kljestan M - Robbie Rogers F - Landon Donovan F - Kenny Cooper
Bench G - Jon Busch D - Gonzalo Segares D - Bakary Soumare M - Dwayne De Rosario M - Steve Ralston M - G. Barros Schelotto M - Maurice Edu F - Luciano Emilio F - Brian Ching

nice line-up you think they can replace MLS All-Stars with Houston Dynamo colors and crest, etc...sounds like a good idea to me.

you are in dreamland ;D. But I do like changing the kit color. That black Allstar kit kinda sucks.

I must be in dreamland, because I actually believe the Dynamo have a shot at the SuperLiga.

hehe, its not like their playing in the FA cup. The teams are about evenly matched.

We're gonna win. They might not even play their best players for most of the game. Even so that lineup would still beat them. I wonder how Beckham and Blanco would play together ;D

Why don't they get us to play Spainish teams or La Liga teams

Trouble with 100 crew fans and 30 West Ham fans - I like those odds, my money would have been on the West Ham fans... looking forward to the game (hope I can find a streaming feed for it..) I thought Buddle was in the Allstars squad too...

The quality of players in the MLS is good, but the problem is there is just not enough of them and won't until the MLS has cap room like the NFL (2008 Cap $116 million per team).

This is the only way forward for the MLS to gain respect in the soccer world: Remove Salary Cap Get some MAJOR names to play alongside the likes of Beckham Get some competition for the broadcasters who want to show soccer on TV - this generates the capital to pay the big names (the teams share the proceeds of the broadcast rights) This is the EPL model - so be warned, the home grown players will end up getting squeezed out- that's the price you pay...
