So the MLS Allstar Game was quite entertaining – with MLS winning a close one over Tottenham Hotspur 2-1. The thought here is world class striker Harry Kane will most likely start right where we took off last season and score plenty of goals in the EPL this season. He was remarkable up front and only spectacular saves by the the MLS greatest ever keeper – Nick Rimando kept the MLS All Stars in front. Overall the site of Kaka feeding David Villa on a goal was subline and to see the US All Stars hang even with one of the top 20 club teams in the world 1 week prior to season is not bad. Lots of MLS games on the docket this weekend including Chicago hosting Dallas and former CHS and Carmel Dad’s Club MLS/Allstar Matt Hodges Sunday night at 7 pm on Fox Sports 1. Portland host San Jose at 5 pm on ESPN – and if you have never watched a Portland Timbers game – WATCH – one of the best 3 atmosphere’s in the US for soccer along with Seattle and KC.
