The first XI was decided last week, and now the All Star roster is complete.
MLS All Star coach Steve Nicol added 5 players of his choosing, and then Don Garber added his two commissioner’s picks. Nicol choose Brian Ching, Landon Donovan, Ronnie O’Brien, Kevin Hartman and Pable Mastroeni. Don Garber choose Jones and Pope, both long time MLS stars who are retiring after this season.
Maybe they aren’t quite all stars this season, but Cobi Jones and Eddie Pope have served Major League Soccer for a long time and deserve a spot on this team.
The MLS All Stars will be facing Celtic at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on July 19th. The game will be televised on ESPN2 at 8:00 PM CST.

I’ve seen Spain vs Latvia and watching Germany vs San Marino right now. Still to come is USA vs China and even later is DC United vs LA Galaxy. I can’t image there is much of a better day than this!
What is up with Toronto FC, they pulled off another victory today, and this time it was against a good team. Wow, they are making a move for a playoff spot.
I hope you guys in KC are having fun drinking the beer that Kevin Hartman bought for you, wish I was there!
Here you can see who we were cheering for:

While browsing the forums at BigSoccer I come across this nice tidbit of information, Kevin Hartman is buying a keg of Newcastle beer for fans before tomorrows game!
I wonder if this is a common thing in the MLS or in Kansas City. Anybody?
Well either way this is pretty cool. It really makes me want to go watch the Wizards take over the top of the table tomorrow at Arrowhead! Knowing that I won’t make it to that game I think about how much I should order the MLS package on my DISH Network system. I would love to watch RBNY come into Arrowhead tomorrow, but by the power of the Fox Soccer Channel I will be watching DC United and LA Galaxy. At least I’ll be watching some game.

Well it is now clear what the Galaxy had planned when they picked up Joe Cannon. They just traded Kevin Hartman to the Kansas City Wizards. That is exciting news for a Wizards fan. I’m just gonna go ahead and say that the Wizards will get back to the playoffs next season with the addition of Hartman, and probably eventually another MLS Championship!

The Galaxy traded Hercules Gomez to Colorado for Joe Cannon. There was a little bit more involved in the trade, but these are the two that surprised me. I can’t imagine either Hartman or Cannon sitting on the bench, so I wonder whats goin on in LA. Are they getting rid of Hartman, or want to trade Cannon off to someone else? Anyone know what the plan in LA is?
