Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard Among MLS Stars to Face Tottenham

Also, Commish Don Garber names Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard to the squad.

A Canadian maple leaf is also featured on the jersey, and paired with a star from the USA flag, commemorates the fact that both nations are participants of MLS soccer. Shame on you MLS.

He’s yet to make his first MLS appearance but Steven Gerrard has been selected to play for the USA league in their All-Star game against Spurs. This is a massive event for the Colorado Rapids, the city of Commerce City and the city of Denver and will be featuring some of the bigger names in MLS. WHAT A JOKE. How about Sebastian Giovinco?

While 10 of the 11 players on the Fan XI are determined by combined fan voting on two platforms – online at MLSsoccer.com and via social media (Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) – the 11th player is determined through the AT&T/EA SPORTS™ MLS All-Star “More Than a Vote” Tournament. Lampard scored once and set up the other goal in the 2012 encounter.

The 33-year-old was signed as Orlando City’s first Designated Player about a year ago and loaned to Sao Paulo in Brazil’s Serie A for the remainder of the 2014 season.

The Fan XI are not guaranteed a spot on the matchday roster, with All-Star coach Pablo Mastroeni to determine the final 22-man squad.

“Whilst I’ve been taking it day by day since then and have been involved in light training, I’ve just been advised by the medical team that it needs a few days’ rest for it to heal fully”. By July 18 the full roster will be released.
