MLS has begun All-Star Game voting. Yeah, I know, nobody deserves to be there, except maybe Nelsen, but stuffing the ballot box is a United fan tradition. Those of you who were upset that you only got to vote once in the tagline poll can take out your frustration here: http://www.mlsnet.com/content/03/mls0529ballot.html
Can I get in trouble by voting for Marco more than once? How about 1,000 times for the Diablo - the King of all Soccer? IntheNet
I'm conflicted. If I vote all-DC I'll be true to my club but if I vote the players I really want to see, there's a better chance of the MLS team winning. And if it's the team I think it could be, I'd much rather see MLS win.
Hmm... Santino is listed as a Midfielder and Stewart a forward. Obviously, the ballot writers haven't seen a DC game.
I got my Cow towns confused! Well a cow did start the Fire... They also kill more cows than any other town on the face of the earth. Cowlumbar is more a field full of cows than a town.
Back on topic, I wouldn't consider voting for any of DCU's "offensive" players. They suck! The last thing this team needs is for a bunch of players to get elected all stars. Then they figure they are all stars, so if the team can't win a game it must be someone else's fault, not theirs... And everyone says Ray can't win with a team full of all stars, so fire the coach! Realistically, Nelsen, Rimando and Prideaux are the only guys I would consider voting for right now (I haven't looked at the ballot yet). As for the rest of the team - all stars? Don't make me laugh!
I think the classiest thing we could do as United fans would be to vote early and often for Brian Kamler, arguably the nicest guy to ever play for the club. He got dissed by the organization twice but us fans can make it up to him by helping get him on the all star team. And the thing is, he's playing so well this year that he actually deserves to go so you won't be doing the game or the process a disservice by repeatedly voting for Kam.
I voted for Kam, Petke and Nellie. No other DC United player even deserves to be able to watch it on television. Sachin
