what the hell. no Montero?

He'll get picked by Kinnear for sure, but he's way better than Casey

kinda curious to see who else will make the All Star

[Eastend]

Well, not surprisingly DeRo made the starting 11. Now is he forced to play or do we get to keep him for the CL match against the Islanders?

[bee dubya]

I don't think the league will force DeRo to play and miss his CL match. Besides, if DeRo doesn't make it, maybe they're able to slide in Beckham into the match...

[nascarguy]

Here is the MLS All-Star First XI:
Kasey Keller, Chad Marshall, Wilman Conde, Geoff Cameron, Guillermo Barros Schelotto, Freddie Ljungberg, Shalrie Joseph, Stuart Holden, Dwayne DeRosario, Conor Casey, Landon Donovan
Dwayne DeRosario won't be available for the match as he leads Toronto FC in CONCACAF Champions League play that week.

also no way in hell Beckham doesnt get a spot

Blankie and McBride would get a spot too

Kenny Cooper, JP Angel, Brad Davis, Santino Quaranta, Nate Jaqua, Clint Mathis, Colin Clark, Zach Thornton, Donovan Ricketts all a good bet to get a spot

I unfortunately inflicted watching Lalas and Shep on myself, and they specifically said that TFC had a Champions League match that night and De Rosario would need to be replaced. One of them suggested Brad Davies or someone.

The MLS all-star game is a pathetic joke. Fuck it. We need DeRo for our Champions League game. Sick of this mickey mouse garbage.

[Oldtimer]

The Commishioner gets 4 picks. He'll add Beckham.

Beckham didn't get a spot in '07, why would he get a spot now?

Huh? DeRo will be playing that night... at BMO Field.

[flatpicker]

Is the CCL game being televised?
Just wondering, because it would seem kinda strange having TFC going up against the MLS All-Star game for viewers.

i thought Becks was injured for 07 game

[Pyeddo]

Are you kidding me? We need some DeRo action on the 29th... enough of the MLS bullshit.

Besides, its not in Toronto this year, so it doesn't matter lol

Not sure what the make up of this match will be....I THINK the NYRB & DC have matches the day before and after this as well. I could be mistaken though.....So possibly no DC, NY and TFC players.....

[jabbronies]

no Guevara??? That's fucked.

[Ossington Mental Youth]

yep im ok with this, in fact i support not voting for any TFC players on the MLS all star team so they can save their energy for something important like the fucking league.

I doubt we'd be on tv in america, and I can't imagine anyone in the states giving a crap about tfc vs puerto rico. Columbus maybe, as the winner's in their group.

They'll definitely lose out in Toronto (i'm presuming some channel will be playing our game, goltv at the very least, but I doubt all star game viewing numbers are particularly high here anyway, especially with no tfc players.

[grizzle]

I think its great that Dero was picked, but we obviously need him at home and since he turned down the Canadian team, I am pretty sure he will be turning this down also.

If DeRo turned down Canada in Gold Cup, turning down All Star game to play for TFC is an easier choice. lol

[maninb]

No worries....De Ro will be playing against PR....It's not even an issue...

This puts the DeRo issue to rest.

[Yohan]

That fucking hippie and Morales added to all star team as the commish's picks

Interesting

[Fort York Redcoat]

What about that fucking surfer douche Beckerman? Sure he may deserve to be there but while you're name calling I wanted to join in with my most hated player of all.
