MLS All-Star Weekend


There aren't too many matchups this week with the all-star week coming up, but there are some good ones.

Chicago will travel to Colorado tomorrow night to face a team that has somehow had their number. Although Colorado has been anything but hot this year, they've been able to beat Chicago when they needed it. They just came off a 3-0 exhibition loss to Chivas of Mexico, and that may be a sign that they are ready for a win. Adin Brown is beginning to retrun to form after surgury, but David Kramer will be between the posts. Look for Colorado to play strong and maybe be able to take this one away from Chicago.

San Jose finally lost a home game to Colorado and now New England is hoping to add to that list. Wolde Harris found the back of the net in their midweek match against Kansas City and will look to put up some more points here. I think its going to be a tight one, but I think it will either be a tie or San Jose will pull it out.

The Metrostars host Miami this Saturday and should expect to add some more points to the lead in the East. Miami has struggled with consistancy and this is not the place to find it. The Metros are playing strong. Although they are missing some key players, they have the right reserves and I expect NY to take this one with some overpowering play.

LA will travel to Tampa Bay to play the second in a two part series. LA got the win in the first one, but I would expect Tampa Bay to be able to take the second match with this one at home. Diallo is overdue for some scoring and Tampa Bay plays well at home. LA will be missing some big guns due to World Cup duties.

Columbus will travel to Kansas City to face the Wizards. This would have been a lost cause just a month ago, but KC is looking rough lately. Wednesday they lost a close one to New England at home. That will mean that they are looking to rebound and Columbus may just be the team to feed upon. Columbus is still without McBride but Dante Washington has been playing well. Look for this one to be very close.

Here are the starting rosters for the All-Star match this next weekend:

East: Mike Ammann - GK, MetroStars
