Hey guys,

I know it's only 7 games into the season, but we are pretty much half way to the All Star Game. As it stands today, which TFC players do you realistically think should be at the game? Let's be realistic and keep in mind other players in the league (in the same position) when choosing.

here is my take:

1. Stefan Frei
2. Adrian Serioux
3. Robbo Cop

Honorable mentions: Amado Guevara and Dero (these guys could go either way at this point)

I'd be interested in seeing who you would put out there.

dero, serioux, vitti (if he starts scoring)


I'd like to see Frei in there, but I just doubt a rookie keeper would make it.

Keller and big Zach will get the nods as of now.

Robbo


over Joseph from NE?

Robbo

Shit that's a good point. I shouldn't be forgetting about Robbo, this man is solid everytime around. Alot of the work he does goes unnoticed because of the position he plays in. Add Robbo to my list.

True....

but what if TFC go on and win the next 7 games in a row and Frei posts 4 clean sheets during that run.....?? LoL wishful thinking...

Well he may not start, but he's probably the second best in DM and probably deserves a spot no?

Picking a first-year rookie keeper for the All-Star Game is madness! MADNESS!

But he's actually my pick as well. :D

Not sure about Serioux, but I agree Guevara and DeRo would fit well into the roster. Has Robbo been mentioned?

Robbo wont make it, because he's not as 'flashy' as other midfielders

Tremendous game on Sun, but All Stars dont get picked because they do the dirty work

Please!!!!! don't pick Frei for the All-star game!!!

Here is why:

- The international team the all-stars will play against, might see Frei play, then want to sign him.

maybe we can get him a 'Hartman' jersey to wear?

Shouldn't we be keeping all our players out of the All-Star Game? The game is on Wednesday July 29th. Not only is there a game in Boston on the following Saturday, but the first leg of the preliminary round of the 2009/2010 Champions League will be on the 28th, 29th, or 30th (and we had better be there this year!)

Red Bulls and DC United will also be playing those days.

Funny, I was actually just thinking about it this morning. So far in my opinion our best candidates based on performance are Wynne, Serioux, Vitti (provided he keeps this up) and Frei.

Darlofletch

Definitely Serioux.

Frei's been great, but is too young, De Ro hasn't done enough this season, Robinson's been good, but not flashy enough for this sort of thing.

Chad Barrett?:hide:

how did I forget him?

Wynne should be on everyone's list.

We all dream of a team of Marvell Wynnes

Chad Barrett?:hide:

He would have an impossible task of beating out McBride, Cooper, Emilio, Donovan and even Robbie Findley. Unless he starts scoring like crazy.

Wynne would fit in with the all star game quite well, he looks really good going forward, and it's impressive when he comes from nowhere to catch up with their left winger.

Now if only he had the footballing sense to realise he's a right back, and not constantly go missing, and he wouldn't have to make as many of those runs.

Looks good, but doesn't do his basic job all that well, he's like the anti-Robinson.

So I'm the only one here that's concerned that if any of our players are in the All Star Game, they are going to miss a Champions League match?

The whole starting xi!!!!

It's way too early for this. I honestly don't care if any of them make it as long as they keep getting results.

Robbo. Why? Because it's Robbo! He does all of the dirty work, and should be commended for his work.

They will pick Keller as keeper anyway. Frei is safe here at home.

you can pick two keepers for all star game
Fat man Thornton is having a good year, so is Hartmann

I would love to see Dichio to go on a goal rampage, and get into the all star, just to add to his legend.

I'll go Robbo, Serioux... and if he keeps it up.... wow..... DD!!!!!!! :D

Here's my annual 'fuck the all-star game' post:

fuck the all-star game, it's pointless shite, takes players out of practise and puts them at injury risk.

Get rid of this crap and MLS will have a much easier time of scheduling games around the international calendar.

Yeah I agree with this.

The only thing I'd consider is to play it on the Saturday before the MLS Cup.

It wouldn't have the players from the two finalists on the teams, but you'd have a good event as all the league's top players would be together on the ultimate North American soccer weekend, with no cost in terms of the competitive balance. You could get them to play a good Mexican team, or maybe Zenit. It's not much worse than playing West Ham or Villareal.

How about the Saturday after the Cup? NFL Pro Bowl-style. Makes the most sense to me.

I don't know why they do it that way. Nobody cares, once the championship is decided.

I think the NFL waste the weekend before the Super Bowl - they should have that game in the Super Bowl city the weekend before. Similar to what I'm suggesting.

1) Dero
2) Guevarra
3) Adrian "Shade or Colour" Serioux
4) Robinson

I hope none of our players get chosen. Let other team's players get injured.

As far as who is likely to get chosen from TFC? Only DeRo. Guevara won't as he's known as a "head case" (although he plays just fine for us). Serioux is a possibility, but there are a number of decent defenders from US squads who would likely get the nod first. Robbo is a great player, probably the top DM in MLS, but most Americans don't seem to recognise this.

I dunno. I can't think of many MLS CBs having a great season right now.

Agreed.
It's going take a GREAT first half for a rookie keeper to play in the ASG !

DeRo and Serioux seem like good choices !

Playing the ASG after the MLS Cup would be kinda cool. That's not a bad idea.

I dunno. I don't like the current format, but I don't know if it should dropped either. Maybe once the MLS season gets really crowded it might be good to drop altogether.

I dunno. I kinda like it.

how North American of you ;)

I like ASG too, but not when it conflicts with league schedule. IIRC TFC has a game two days after ASG!

I know you're just joking, but some people actually use that as an insult on these boards.

Ya know, because the last thing we want to do is operate our league even marginally different than the EPL. :D
