Are you elated or angry?

Beat me to it by less than a minute.

Can we get a merge up in this joint?

I'm pretty much elated but at the same time a little insulted.

I think Steve Nicol is an ass.

Fine by me. It's a meaningless scrimmage against West Ham. Let someone else go up there and get hurt.

Yep, my feelings of being slighted are surpassed by not having any of our players participate in a meaningless scrimmage on TFC's plastic pitch.

Hopefully, it will also motivate Emilio when Mr. Nicol and the Revs come to town for the USOC semifinal.

2-3 of the MLS All Stars may be named to the u-23 squad. We are likely to get the worst of the both worlds. No one named to the squad but called in as replacements.

Personally, I hope no one gets called in as the all star game is a worthless joke of an event that should be canned asap.

What he^^ said!!!

I am very pleased. I think the whole team should take this as a slap in the face and carry a big chip on their shoulder into that match.

thank god, now we don't have to worry about gallardo aggravating an injury or fred for that matter

this should give our players the rest they'll deserve after superliga, and heading into the home stretch of the season with CCL and the playoffs

[mcontento]

Please name some other people as replacements!

[TOTC]

TRAVESTY!

Especially when we're going to beat the Revs six ways to Sunday this year!

I don't know what this has to do with Gallardo aggravating Fred . . . (http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/05/12/99-grammar/)

I am hoping the day off helps our players.

I just bought 4 tickets for the MLS Cup today and I am expecting to see them play on November, 23rd.

Chalk me up as thrilled and insulted. Thrilled winning by a massive margin. Do away with the All-Star game and I would be doubly thrilled.

I will be there too but I have NO expectation that DC will be there. This team has significant weaknesses in at Goalkeeper, Central Defense, Wing and at forward, not to mention a lack of depth.

If you saw how badly this team played in SuperLiga you would not hold your breath that this team is a favorite to win anything.

Elated.

All Star = Usless and Counterproductive. Especially this year.

Elated as well.

9 straight days without a game for the entire squad is badly needed.

[revelation]

I'm elated that I can be angry. At MLS for having a stupid all-star farce. At MLS for allowing the Superduperliga. At Steve Nicol for shunning the best pure striker in MLS who was last years' MVP. At West Ham for not sending all the all-stars home in boxes. At Toronto for having artificial turf at BMO field. At Toronto fans for throwing stuff at players.

So much anger...so little time...

:D
