MLS All-Star First XI

MLS has released their First XI list for the All-Star game on July 19 against Scottish Premier League champions Celtic FC. These eleven players are not the starting lineup, just the players that are selected by fans, players, coaches and the media. Coach Steve Nicol will pick five additional players and Commissioner Don Garber will add two more.

Here is the list along with the points they earned from each voting catagory:

Goalkeeper: Matt Reis (New England Revolution)
Defenders: Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA), Jimmy Conrad (Kansas City Wizards), Michael Parkhurst (New England Revolution)
Midfielders: Ricardo Clark (Houston Dynamo), Dwayne De Rosario (Houston Dynamo), Christian Gomez (D.C. United), Shalrie Joseph (New England Revolution), Juan Toja (FC Dallas)
Forwards: Juan Pablo Angel (Red Bull New York), Eddie Johnson (Kansas City Wizards)

The most interesting absence is Landon Donovan, which is good because his league play did not earn him a spot, however Garber or Nicol is a lock to add him.
