MLS All Star Game 28 July, Houston, TX

Well, Man U's tour of the States was a letdown (I ended up not going and only watching bits of the matches they played here, only being beaten by last year's MLS champions, Real Salt Lake), as really only the reserve players were used (understandably so). Last night's game was a disaster, with goals coming in the first minute and 12th minute by Italian Macheda, and further pummeling in the 2nd half. I was surprised MLS scored at all, to be honest with the sloppy defense.

However, if exhibitions like this keep football alive in the States, then I'm all for them.

The MLS players are in the middle of their season; so I don't think most of them had a chance to even train together or get some rest before the game. I liked the match, lots of goals and of course I was looking forward to Chicharito's debut, he didn't disappoint!

Northern ireland v USA milk cup final just kicked off. Should be links floating about if anyone cares.
