Final Roster For MLS All-Star Game

2008 MLS All-Star

The roster for the 2008 MLS All-Star Game at BMO Field in Toronto is set as Stevie Nicol’s men will run out against West Ham United.

MLS All-Star Roster:

Goalkeepers: Pat Onstad (Houston Dynamo), Matt Reis (New England Revolution)

 

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

 

Midfielders: David Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy), CuauhtĂ©moc Blanco (Chicago Fire), Dwayne De Rosario (Houston Dynamo - Commissioner’s Pick), Christian Gomez (Colorado Rapids), Shalrie Joseph (New England Revolution), Sacha Kljestan (Chivas USA), Pablo Mastroeni (Colorado Rapids), Robbie Rogers (Columbus Crew)

Forwards: Juan Pablo Angel (forward, New York Red Bulls), Edson Buddle (Los Angeles Galaxy - Commissioner’s Pick), Kenny Cooper (FC Dallas), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy)

Just in case you’re paying attention, that means no Luciano Emilio (DC United - 10 goals), Guillermo Barros Schelotto (Columbus Crew - 8 assists), Javier Morales (Real Salt Lake - 7 assists) or Jon Busch (Chicago Fire - 0.93 Goals Against Average).

It also means that not one player from DC United or Real Salt Lake will be on the field in Toronto.

With Peter Nowak about to name his Olympic Roster later this week, don’t be surprised to hear a few more alternate names pop up as anyone going to Beijing will not be participating in the All-Star Game.
