I guess this is the game thread for this week?

So, Bastian is captain, but Accam (top 5 in goals and assists) fails to make the team at all.
Odd.

I'd say Kappelhof getting the nod over far better defenders in MLS is even more odd.

half of the All-Star picks are about popularity. Its not a surprise that all 4 Fan XI midfielder picks are in the top 12 MLS Salaries. People will vote for Kaka no matter what his qualifications are this season

So in case I'm not getting it, Schweinsteiger was named captain for the all star game and Pauno refuses to play his best eleven.

Why would yesterday, today or Wednesday be any different?

Just saw that Bastian has
53 touches
50 passes
In the first half.
But those are butt ugly jerseys.

Paunovic take him out for the second half before he gets hurt.
