Fullback Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I guess its an AS game for good young homegrown players and four Canadians were selected Teibert, Morgan, Ouimette, and Lefevre. http://www.mlssoccer.com/all-star/2014/news/article/2014/07/07/all-star-roster-revealed-2014-chipotle-mls-homegrown-game-portland-august-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 This is pretty cool - I can't believe no one is talking about this. Is there something else happening that I am missing? Where is everybody? (crickets) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I give up Blackdude. CSJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Canadian Soccer Jesus, aka Russell Teibert, is on the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 ^ Yes, of course. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Canadian Soccer Jesus, aka Russell Teibert, is on the squad. I'm tired. I still wonder with that. They're playing Portland U23 and I'm guessing that it's not like they have the best match-up. Drafted vs HG match would be more interesting.

Drafted vs HG match would be more interesting. Oh I like that one. Put Blackdude on the MLS marketing committee. That could be marketed so many ways. Very good idea.

El Hombre Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Ouimette and Lefevre have pulled out of this game as it conflicts with the Concacaf Champions League game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm surprised that Henry isn't in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Coaches had a lot of discretion letting players go for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 This concept is just about the most MLS thing ever. "Other leagues have young stars games! We should do the same thing!" "Great idea! Who will they play?" "I don't give a shit, let's just the play the game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One American Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Oh, wow, hey, there are no Vancouver players in the game. What do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I can't believe this game is a thing, but I still want to tune in to see how RT and Morgan perform. If your'e going to do a cheesy "rookie" game, why not go NBA style and have the rookies play the sophomores. Of course, I mean proper rookies and sophomores. No Jermaine Defoe's. Also, let's go back to east versus west for the All Star game. I'm sure playing big clubs is advantageous from a marketing standpoint, but here is an idea: Pick an east all star team and a west all star team. Let each team play 1 half against Bayern Munich or whoever. Just select a best XI for each conference, with 1 reserve per position (1 forward, 1 midfielder, 1 defender, 1 keeper). More MLS stars will get recognition and the league gets to play these massive clubs, everyone wins. Some kind of skills competition for the Allstars would be cool too. A freestyle category could be fun, or some kind of shot accuracy challenge.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
