“Obviously it’s great to see – I’m sure for the American fans – to see the likes of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard play in their league now, two greats from the Premier League over the years”. This is a massive event for the Colorado Rapids, the city of Commerce City and the city of Denver and will be featuring some of the bigger names in MLS.
However, the selection of the former England stars as two “Commissioner’s picks” by MLS commissioner Don Garber drew a withering response from several players on social media. WHAT A JOKE. How about Sebastian Giovinco?
Among the 11 players picked by fan voting are NYCFC’s David Villa, who starred for Valencia, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid before joining NYCFC this season, and Orlando City FC’s Kaka, a Brazilian who was the 2007 Federation Internationale de Football Association world player of the year.
“It’s a fun game to play in”, said Houston defender DaMarcus Beasley, who will be making his fourth all-star appearance, but his first since 2003. Seattle’s Obafemi Martins was chosen through a Federation Internationale de Football Association 15 campaign in which a vote was awarded for every video game goal the voter scored.
In addition to the All-Star game on the 29th, the MLS Homegrown Game will take play on July 28 at DSGP at 7:00 PM MDT.
