Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard will have one last chance to make their midfield partnership work.
The English midfielders have only just arrived in MLS, but are already included in the league’s All-Star team.
Each year a team of the league’s best players are selected to play against a European side on their pre-season tour in the United States. Last summer the All-Stars took on Bayern Munich, and this year they’ll face Tottenham Hotspur in Commerce City, Colorado.
Yes, there’s an actual place called Commerce City.
The players selected include Kaka, David Villa, Michael Bradley, Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins. The All-Star team is chosen by a fans poll, while the MLS commissioner Don Garber also gets to pick two players.
Garber has chosen Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard for the game against Spurs, reportedly for their “global appeal.” However, Lampard has yet to play for New York City FC, and Gerrard only played his first game for LA Galaxy last weekend.
Last season’s MVP, and scorer of this brilliant goal, Robbie Keane, is nowhere to be seen.
It certainly wasn’t Robbie’s boyhood dream to be left out of a game against his former club.
