    To strengthen ties between MLS and Real, market MLS in Europe, to make sure Real plays here next summer are a few of the reasons that come to mind.

    I thought it was to provide a showcase for our young talent for the European scouts, only to be lowballed on any transfer offer thus sending BigSoccer into a complete meltdown about "MLS holding players back from moving abroad."

    Any real team would be better than that.

    So uh... shouldn't the online voting be redesigned so we vote for east v. west players?

    Currently, you could pick 2 goalkeepers from the East.

    (I realize fan voting only accounts for 1/4 of the votes, but still....)

    Special Ticket A for Rochester next week?

    Special Ticket B for the ALL Star Game?

    Special Ticket C for the Forest Game?

    Can't see RFK getting an Open Cup game or a WCQ game on the plan...

    Thx,

    Jay!
