Stevie Nicol’s starting XI has been set for MLS’ match-up against West Ham United on July 24th at BMO Field in Toronto.

The usual suspects have been named and a few surprises as well.

2008 MLS All-Star First XI

Goalkeeper: Matt Reis (New England Revolution)

Defenders: Jimmy Conrad (Kansas City Wizards), Frankie Hejduk (Columbus Crew), Michael Parkhurst (New England Revolution)

Midfielders: David Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy), Cuauhtemoc Blanco (Chicago Fire), Shalrie Joseph (New England Revolution), Sacha Kljestan (Chivas USA), Robbie Rogers (Columbus Crew)

Forwards: Kenny Cooper (FC Dallas), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy)

Nicol and his staff will still have the ability to add 5 more players to the game day roster, while the Commish has his 2 picks and all are expected to name names later this week (and trust me, they already know who they are).
