“Major League Soccer, the Houston Dynamo, and Lone Star Sports and Entertainment will officially announce that the 2010 MLS All-Star Game will be held at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, not Robertson Stadium.”

The MLS appears to be going “big-time” with next year’s match at the 72,000 seat stadium here in beautiful H-town.  You have to think the MLS will consider scheduling a big Mexican side to maximize the crowd - which would make it an “away” game for the All-Stars, no doubt.

Dominic Kinner’s first 11 for the 2009 MLS All - Star Game vs Timmy Howard and Everton FC at Rio Tinto Stadium on Wednesday, July 29th has been announced after online fan balloting comprising 25 percent, MLS coaches and GMs (25 percent), media (25 percent), and players (25 percent) picked their top performers of the first half of the season.

This is what we need more of… The Galaxy did a fantastic job of allowing Donovan Ricketts the opportunity to show his personality while reminding people how good he’s been this year.

Get your 2009 MLS All - Star vote on for who should rep against Everton at Rio Tinto Stadium on Wednseday, July 29th.

MLS All-Stars take a 3-2 victory over West Ham United!

BUT, more importantly, there was a jersey swap at the end of the game. A big thank you to ESPN for capturing it! Hey MLS, if you wanna increase your female fan base, start promoting the traditional jersey swap at the end of a match!

Ahhh, poor guy.

Seriously, it was a great game, great crowd, great Nash announcement. Yes, I mean Steve Nash of the NBA. And no, he’s not pulling a Michael Jordan and playing another professional sport, but he’ll be involved with the MLS expansion team out of Vancouver…in three years!

Now only if people had known the game was on, then there’d be some buzz at the water cooler tomorrow!

UPDATE - Surprising move by not having Estelle perform inside BMO Field as it looks like they set up a separate stage outside.

Nope, no Kanye, but The Commish just announced that B. McBride’s situation has been sorted. Announcement to come tomorrow.

And could someone tell this ref that it’s an All-Star Game and NOT a World Cup?  Take a breath, there’s a reason why you don’t have your name on the back of your red jersey.

43rd minute and Estelle’s about to hit the stage, but will Kanye join?

PS - Blanco’s assist on Christian Gomez’ goal and his far post bender at that angle to beat West Ham’s Robert Green??? Seriously??
