Donovan to lead MLS All-Stars


Major League Soccer announced the starting XI for the 2010 All-Star team, and US National team members Landon Donovan and Edson Buddle will lead the MLS All-Stars.

The MLS All-Stars face Manchester United on July 28th at Houston's Reliant Stadium.
The First XI was determined by vote, with fans holding 25% of the total. The remaining 75% was split between players, coaches/GM's, and the media.

GK: Donovan Ricketts (LA Galaxy)
Def: Chad Marshall (Columbus Crew), Omar Gonzalez (Los Angeles Galaxy), Jamison Olave (Real Salt Lake)
Mid: Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Marco Pappa (Chicago Fire), Javier Morales (Real Salt Lake), Dwayne De Rosario (Toronto FC), Guillermo Barros Schelotto (Columbus Crew)
For: Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy), Edson Buddle (Los Angeles Galaxy)

It will be exciting to see emerging US stars like Omar Gonzalez get the opportunity to measure himself against Manchester United - which could evolve into a coming out party for this potential US international.
