Can someone please explain to me how Justin Braun, who has been in tremendous form for a terrible Chivas side (6 goals, 3 assists, and consistently making highlight-worthy plays) gets snubbed for the All Stars? In favor of who? Kasey Keller, who I'm sure is hurting without that bonus check and has consistently been making highlight reels for a series of high-profile mistakes? Freddie Ljungberg? Robbie Rogers? Really?
Pathetic.

I agree with everything Riccardo added to the conversation. Thank you, Riccardo, for those thoughts.
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's of a piece with the whole All-Star Game conceit. When aren't they full of undeserving name brands?
All-Star Game has always been a popularity contest over actual all-star players. That's why the fans vote. Seems that it is the usual for these things. Makes sense because the game is more about star power than a real quality game.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I miss the all MLS all-star matches because it was then just a complete farce instead of the current "friendly".
