KFDM COOP Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 MLS All-Stars defeat Chelsea 1-0; historic victory For those of you who didn't see it, the MLS All-Stars defeated two-time defending English Premier League champion Chelsea 1-0 today. Chelsea is the New York Yankees of World Soccer with a $200 million payroll. The victory by the MLS All-Stars signifies that the league has made significant strides since it's inception. It truly was a historic victory for the MLS.
Bread Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 For those who actually appreciate the sport of soccer unlike some, this was a hard fought game against one of the best teams in the world. With a payroll that surpasses the Yankees, this is truly the most expensive sports team in the world in Chelsea FC. The MLS All-Stars really played quite well, I thought Peter Nowak did a good job managing the team. How about them Houston Dynamo players coming through eh?? First off, Brian Ching had a somewhat decent game, didnt get that much involved, then to Ricardo Clark who had a sensational game, then to Eddie Robinson who saved a shot that was 1 inch from going in right off the end line, and then finally to Dwayne DeRosario who scored the only goal, and played the entire game. What a showing from our "local" team. We need to start supporting them more. Oh and btw I happen to have the only goal scorers autograph
