“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
Shows how remarkably smart Steve Nicol is, doesn't it?
Edu was the assumption because he's the most photographed TFC player, if Edu had been picked it would have smacked of tokenism, while Jimmy's selection shows appreciation of the captains abilities.
Jimmy is a true all-star by far, he deserves to be there, never takes a minute off, fights to the end, he is a true fighting red, I am proud of this moment where coaches truely decide who deserves to be there.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
Jimmy is the heart of this team. This announcement comes just in time to know which name to put on the back of the ASG shirt.
geez, I thought Gerry Dobson congratulated Edu on his all-star selection last Saturday!
Now to figure out which number Jimmy B's gonna wear for the game.
Edu's been crap this season...sorry but it's true.
Edson Buddle as a sub??
So does this mean we are completely silent unless he touches the ball?

No. We cheer for the Hammers... unless Jimmy B's on the ball!
Thanks for the clarification

Edu will still be an all-star, just a non-playing alternate.
Awsome !!! Jimmy B's the man. I suprised when I heard that it would be Edu,he still hasen't proved his worth. Also. nice to see DeRo on the squad!! 2 guys from T.O. !!!! not bad.
ya edu does not deserve to be an allstar at all.
but i guess the league might want to pimp him to the world... could get a nice transfer fee one of these days.
I might be crazy, but didn't Dobson interview Edu at halftime of the Chicago game about being named to the all-star game?
That was just one of many problems with that telecast

Every league has all-star selection controversies, but what is going on with the Buddle selection as one of the two "Commissioner's" picks?
LA already had two guys in. There is nobody selected from DC United (or RSL or SJ for that matter). Come on, DCU had a slow start, but that team is now hotter than a polar bear in the Mojave Desert, and they won the supporters shield last year. RSL are a half decent squad too. Jeez, Marvell deserves to be there over Buddle.
This is the nuttiest thing I've seen in a while.

Buddle is scoring because of who he plays with...do you really disagree?
My main point was about DCU not having a player. Emilio has 10 goals and isn't playing with anyone nearly as good as Beckham/Donovan. Nobody in this league would take Buddle over Emilio straight up, nobody.

I was shocked to not see Emilio selected. Buddle was worthy also IMO but Emilio shoulda been there as well. Selecting two forwards from the same team is just whoring LAG out...
im gonna get brennan put on the back of my allstar jersey,
Emilio didn't even get named as a replacement. (Neither did Schelotto, which is nice.)
