TheOriginalWinger.com
Yes there is a MLS All-Star match! And I’ll be damned, it’s on tonight!

FC Dallas might lose Toja to Europe —
My Soccer Blog
Is Juan Toja about to play his final match as a MLS player? Rumor has it that the longhair midfielder will fly to Romania tonight , after the All-Star match, to finish a deal with Romanian powerhouse Steaua Bucharest. Then again, it is just a rumor. Accord to FCD coach Schellas Hyndman, "I expect him here to play against LA (on Sunday)." Although this season has not been as strong as the ...
West Ham United v MLS All-Stars On ESPN Tonight —
EPL Talk
Tonight West Ham United plays the Major League Soccer All-Star Team in Toronto, Canada. The match will be shown live on ESPN and ESPN360.com beginning at 7pm ET.

West Ham in Canada/West Ham au Canada —
West Ham United
The last of our glorified preseason friendlies, this match will be a good test, mostly in the field of fitness. While this game seems of little relevance to us, the MLS All-Stars are in mid-season form and will be looking for a victory against us, and I would like to see the Hammers defend and spread our club’s name. Whether victorious or not, I wouldn’t read too much into the ...
All Star Game May Be Toja's Last in MLS —
The Offside Rules
The rumors are true y'all. The word I'm getting of All-Starsville is that the story that Los Toros picked up about Juan Toja pulling up stakes for Romania --yes, Romania-- is indeed going to happen. Not much else to say about it other than some of the more ghetto women-folk that are in Toronto for the match may have poured a little out for their soon-to-be transfered homey last night.

Thanks to SF over at The Offside Rules for linking this one up . Anytime MLS Commissioner Don Garber talks with press about the game and of course about David Beckham I have to have a listen. So I figured I would share it along with you all as well.
