MLS commissioner Don Garber selected Real Salt Lake midfielders Kyle Beckerman and Javier Morales as his two “Commissioner’s Picks” for the 2009 MLS All-Star Game coming up July 29 in -- I assume this isn't coincidence -- Sandy, Utah.
Beckerman and Morales join the First XI and one alternate who have already been announced by the League.
The final five members will be named Monday.
The MLS All-Stars face English Premier League club Everton FC in the 14th annual midsummer showcase being played at Real Salt Lake’s Rio Tinto Stadium. The game will be shown on ESPN2.
Details at the MLS website.
Yesterday's news that Freddie Ljungberg plans to play out his two-year contract in Seattle may not be all.
Sounders general manager Adrian Hanauer said this week that he's so pleased with the contributions of his two all-stars that he is already thinking about extending their contracts.
And both stars say they are interested, although apparently no negotiations have begun.
Keller is 39, Ljungberg is 32. Both are already under contract through the 2010 MLS season.
Here are the details from my News Tribune story today.
Cuauhtemoc Blanco of the Chicago Fire has been moced into the MLS First XI, replacing Dwayne de Rosario due to Toronto's conflict with CONCACAF Champions League play.
Here's the release from MLS.
