The MLS All-Star Game

In most American professional sports, the All-Star game is intra-league.  The NFL has AFC v. NFC.  The MLB has AL v. NL.  The NBA has East v. West.  The MLS has a little more creative style.  They play one European power.  This year's team that the best MLS players are facing is Celtic FC, my favorite team.  It is questionable if Celtic will send over its first team, but either way, it will be a great team.  If they do send over their best players, the MLS will be in for a challenge.  Celtic is lead by midfielder and free kick specialist Shunsuke Nakamura from Japan.  Other notable players are Dutch striker Jan Vennegor of Hesselink, Polish goalie Arthur Boruc, Polish striker Maciej Zurawski, and Czech midfielder Jiri Jarosik.  The Bhoys have more talent than the MLS, and that will cause problems.
