MLS All-Star Team

With Jonathan Bornstein, Steve Ralston and Juan Toja named to Stevie Nicol’s roster (replacing outgoing Olympic Team Member’s Michael Parkhurst, Sacha Kljestan and Robbie Rogers) for the All-Star Game in Toronto, MLS has released it’s Non-Active All-Star Roster.

Goalkeepers (2): Jon Busch (Chicago Fire), Greg Sutton (Toronto FC).

Defenders (4): Michael Parkhurst* (New England Revolution), Gonzalo Segares (Chicago Fire), Bakary Soumare (Chicago Fire), Marvell Wynne (Toronto FC).

Midfielders (6): Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Maurice Edu (Toronto FC), Amado Guevara (Toronto FC), Sacha Kljestan* (Chivas USA), Guillermo Barros Schelotto (Columbus Crew), Robbie Rogers* (Columbus Crew).

Forwards (2): Brian Ching (Houston Dynamo), Luciano Emilio (D.C. United)

MLS is obligated to name two FULL All-Star via it’s Player’s Union Agreement that was forged when MLS went to it’s MLS vs Insert World Team Here format.

A LOT of player’s have bonus structures regarding being named to an All-Star Team in their contracts, which was the reasoning behind the initial agreement.
