The first XI for the 2008 MLS All Star game was announced. This isn’t necessairly the starting lineup - coach Nicol will decide who starts. These are just the first 11 guys named to the team. If it were the starting lineup it would look something like this:
Donovan - Cooper
Rogers
Kljestan - Blanco - Joseph - Beckham
Parkhurst - Conrad - Hejduk
Reis
What other players do you think will be added to the team? What will the starting lineup really look like?
My predictions started out so well but turned so bad and I don’t think that will change today. I may as well just admit defeat now and not even try, but I’m stubborn so here goes. I’m going to pick the Revolution to end their terrible streak of not winning the Cup. Taylor Twellman scores 2 goals but Matt Reis is the MVP.
There you go Dynamo fans, I’ve practically guaranteed a Dynamo victory.
The MLS All Star game first 11 was announced today. This isn’t necessairly the starting lineup, just the first 11 guys voted onto the team. 7 more will be added later. No representative from the Colombus Crew, Toronto FC, Chicago Fire, Colorado Rapids, LA Galaxy and Real Salt Lake.
Juan Pablo Angel - Eddie Johnson
Chrisian Gomez - Dwayne De Rosario - Juan Toja
Sharlie Joseph - Ricardo Clark
Jonathan Bornstein - Jimmy Conrad - Michael Parkhurst
Matt Reis
The nominees in the category of Best Major League Soccer Player at the ESPYs have been announced. I don’t know how much of a season these awards are supposed to cover. Being that the award show takes place on July 16th it seems odd that they would be based on this current season, and it is kinda late to give awards for last season, so maybe it covers anything that happened in they year 2006, or possibly just the past year since July 2006.
The nominees are Jeff Cunningham, Christian Gomez, Landon Donavan and Matt Reis. If the award covers the past season, I think it goes to Jeff Cunningham. Gomez was the MVP last year, but that is different than a best player award. Cunningham was the leagues top goal scorer on a bottom of the league team.
Who do you think deserves the award?
I like Major League Soccer, you should too!
