So the All Star Game has come and gone. Who on the MLS side played themselves into contention for a USMNT camp call-up and a shot at time in an upcoming friendly (whenever that might be)?

Discuss.

no one. Not in this game. The weather conditions and the desire to avoid injury inherent in such a game combined to prevent anyone from standing out.

They players certainly seemed to want to play a competitive match but the weather and the pitch killed that. Also, I didn't particularly need to see all of the former Nats in the Nats team but I understand that it was their farewell game and we have to/should honor them. A Tab, Harkes or Waldo would have been easier to watch than a Burns or whoever.

Nevertheless, Pablo and Ralston stood out to me.

Still, I thought Maisonneuve was quite impressive. I know he is around 29 years old and has had injuries, but he could definately be useful in qualifying.

i thought mais played a very good game...

Chris Klein.

[JohnnyRev]

You're right. Klein looked good.

Is Dema Kovalenko awaiting citizenship?
After his performance yesterday, I think he played himself out of a shot at the Nats.

I thought Pablo played like a thug.

Kreiss, Ralston,Klein, Maiseneuve, Deering did very nice work...


Meanwhile, check out the Ajax website, O'Brien played an outstanding game v. Man U, and plays Barcelona and Parma next few days...

It was a meaningless exhibition, therefore it can not be read in to as a professional match or opportunity.
