What do you think of this news? Excited about the possibility of seeing MLS All-Stars face Wayne Rooney and Manchester United?
Depends entirely on who is on the traveling squad. The schedule is for right after the World Cup is completed this could be a tryout for their B players. Unless there was a guarantee of key players being on the squad AND PLAYING, I would not only not support it but even actively lobby against their being granted a work visa.
