The Major League Soccer All-Star Game is tonight and it features the best of MLS (minus Donovan Ricketts, Diego Valeri, Diego Chara, Rodney Wallace, Darlington Nagbe, etc.) taking on one of the more storied teams of Europe, A.S. Roma. Roma have been near the top of Italy's Seria A throughout the league's existence and today they bring their bevy of experienced stars and rising talents to the US to take on (most of) the best that MLS has to offer.

Will Johnson

... thinks the children are the future.

Final Thoughts
The All-Star Game may be poorly timed and ill-conceived, but it will probably be pretty fun to watch. Roma may not have won much silverware recently, but they have one of America's great talents in Michael Bradley and one of the world's great talents in Totti. The game should be worth checking out (at least until it is time for the Thorns to kick off).
