FTR....MLS all stars have usually beat the big Euro club that comes to town each year. i believe they won the past 4 before? someone correct me if need be.
EDIT: i'm off, but they've had success. granted, it's usually not the "A" squad they play against, but still. i think it's been good. they've been competitive lately

fwiw, and I might be misunderstanding the post here, but the MLS all star game is a just sort of cool event....
really can't put any weight behind the All Star team representing the MLS or the Euro club coming in and judging their performance

^ that's true as well. it just gives fans a chance to see a big euro club and help promote the game.

I've been a harsh critic of the All Star game for years but after going to the game at Avaya on Thursday night I'll never talk bad about it again. Incredibly fun event for the people who get to participate.

My reaction too
I went to a match a few weeks ago and he missed about 3-4 clear opportunities. At this point I don't see what Jurgen sees in him. I also don't see what he sees in a lot of the other players as well, including Bradley, dude is :x

Is WONDO part of the ILLUMINATI? Or what? I always hate seeing this dude on the Roster. Pure trash. Ever since his miss at the WC. Also why is Orozco and Stanko on the roster? The have proven nothing to be worthy of the NT. Jurgen keeps the BS going with some of the roster picks. Good thing we are playing crappy teams, otherwise we be in trouble

Wondo is one of the greatest MLS players yet one of the worst USNT players of all time

fwiw, whatever positive mark Wondo may have with the USMNT, its that he usually puts in a good performance against the lower tier CONCACAF opponents
SVG certainly falls under this category and I for one, am going to not hold my breathe if Wondo somehow ends up starting against them on Friday..... now on Tuesday against T&T I hope we have a good lineup out
sidenote, is this the chance we finally have of seeing Jozy+Wood

This is make of break for Jozy. Dude has soooo much talent, but never put it together. he's been on a tear in the T-DOT, so he really needs to make an impression in this camp.
As for wondo, yes exactly. Everytime a roster is announce, The first thing that pops into my head, is Wondo on it
Where is my NT brother "RICARDO MALTA" to make sense of WONDO on the team

Jury is still out on Jozy too, he's been both really good and absolutely awful for the US in recent memory.

given the opponent, i'm sure Jozy will have 2 or 3 goals and be proclaimed to be byke

I was gonna say when you guys were talking about hopes for Jozy last week, there's literally nothing he can do against CONCACAF competition that will buy him equity with fans.
I am ecstatic to see Jozy and Wood paired together though.
I'm frustrated seeing Beckerman. I don't get it. He probably retire from football before 2018 and Klinsmann will still bring him to Russia.
