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."
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!
