Cuauthemoc Blanco, es simplemente el mejor, y a sus 34 años esta demostrando la clase que tiene..... REGRESA AL AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!! eres el mejor.... no somos dignos de ti, de tus trazos que son poesia sobre la alfombra verde
Notice Blanco's performance as opposed to Beckham. Blanco created more opportunities and scored a great goal. He was a better purchase for Chicago Fire than Beckham was for the Galaxy.
GREAT GAME, I WANTED TO SCREAM SO LOUD WHEN BLANCO SCORED THAT. and the teamwork was amazing, I also wanted beckham to score, and that shot he has that curved from left to right, and almost hit the people. NICE
Man what a game for the MLS All Stars, I never expected that my fav player in the MLS would be there and win the MVP, wow that is a big lift for mi mexico country that leaves a message 2 the mls that mexico plays good soccer, I am from LA, but when Chicago come 2 town, I go for them and I hope 2 see them win this years MLS Cup, Blanco goal was the greatest and it would be nominated again, remembering that he made the best goal of the year 07. VIVA MEXICO, Go Blanco, Go Chicago Fire, Chivas USA.
Blanco is a great player and Mexico is a great team. Blanco should have been playing for Mexico in the last world cup. In that World Cup Mexico played a great game against Argentina but Argentina won 2-1 after an amazing goal. I'm sure Mexico will be in with a fighting chance in 2010... hopefully the USA also :-)
I saw the game and I think Beckham played a great game even though he didn't noticed too much he helped a lot the team and Cuau that was the best in the field hands down but I think Beckham really played well to. Greetings to the MLS and the USA. VIVA MEXICO :)
Well done to the MLS All Stars! They deserved to beat West Ham. I still don't know how Blanco manages to get open (what is he, 55 years old?!) but man, what a touch! His back heel to set up a goal and then the beautiful finish of his own...and I don't even like the guy! Kenny Cooper has always been class. He's the only player worth watching on FC Dallas, in my opinion (maybe Arturo as well). Anyway, well done boys, way to make the US proud!
I thought it was well played and entertaining game. And I think the strides that MLS has made in it's short 13 years is amazing. Grant it it's not up to EPL or other leagues around the world yet but give it time and it will be there one day. Whats really exciting is the quality of American players coming up in MLS and a perfect example is all the MLS American players going overseas to play like Altidore, Guzan, Adu and others so the future is bright for MLS my friends!!
West Ham grant it was in their preseason but they had been in the states for longer than a couple of days in fact they played in Columbus the Sunday before. And also the MLS all stars only practiced a couple of hours the day before with one another and Dero who scored the winning PK actually got to Toronto that morning from DC so both teams were at a disadvantage but it was still a very entertaining game.
i am a west ham supporter(English) and all i wan tto say is that good video but also the all stars are they like all the best players from the league or just a team? and that west ham did well so di allstars good game
Yes, it was an All Star team with some good players on it. However you have to remember that the All Star team have never played together before and only assembled a few days before the match, whereas the West Ham players knew each other inside and out for the most part which is a big avantage for West Ham.
We realise that West Ham are in pre-season but you also have to realise that the MLS All Starts do not play together. They assembled a few days before this match and it was their first time playing together. Therefore, in terms of cohesion, West Ham went in to the game with a big advantage.
LSUNatlChamps! we had Joe Widdowson (never played a prem game in his life) vs david beckham (hundred england caps and hundreds of prem, la liga games) and Joe still held his own. We had a mix of our 1st team and youth team. That was the best team your league!!! could pick and u still only won by a penalty. Carry on playing GridIron and leave the real football to us!
I agree with you. If we really want to prove something, we need to invite a team like Manchester United. Maybe a good team like that would actually motivate us to send our real "stars". We had some in this game but not all. Where's Ruiz, Emilio, Moreno, Gallardo, Olsen, and others? It's been a while since MLS actually used the real best players for an all star team. I'd love to see those type of players vs Man-U with both sides actually trying their hardest.
the hammers didnt have a strong side out bout i think that MLS is so under rated, deserves alot of credit because it look like a very exciting and competitive league UP THE FULHAM !!
I'm a West Ham fan and I've seen us play truly terribly, but we put out a really convincing performance in this game, considering Celtic got their arses handed to them and Chelsea didn't do too well. Again you have to remember that these are the best players from an entire league! Premiership All-Stars vs MLS All-Stars, that would be hilarious.
I think that's pretty good considering the All-Stars only had 1 practice session with each other and West Ham has been playing with each other for a whole year.
I'd Like To See The English Premier League All Stars Play Against Them. West Ham Did Well Considering They Were Playing Against The Best Players Chosen From A Whole League.
What do you mean about proper stadiums? Most stadiums for MLS teams are designed for soccer. Although they are rather small since it's not as of a big sport as American football.
Oh by the way bigchivin Dero scored the winning goal a couple of years ago in the All Star game agaisnt Chelsea! It was a 1-0 final than. I'm not saying MLS is better than this league our that I'm just saying MLS in its short 13 years has made great strides and are continuing to get better every year and growing and thats great for us soccer fans in the US!!
Heck the NHL played a preseason game in London and the NFL played preseason games in London and the US American basketball team just played a friendly with Canada yesterday and smacked them 120 to 65 so please again we understand the whole preseason thing
I would love to see All Stars vs Man Utd and I think the guys at the MLS offices would love that too. Could you imagine the tv ratings good god it would be great for our league here. And also expose Man Utd to the casual North American fan..
MLS and USL soccer transfers to Europe: 2007 - 2009: kenny cooper, jozy altidore, maurice edu, et al. notable cdns in europe: stalteri, mckenna, and friend (bundesliga) and simeon jackson (gillingham). there are at least two dozen top flight US players in Europe: davies (get well soon), bocanegra, tim howard, braz guzan, clint dempsey, john spector. on top of that the Austin Aztex (USL) recently defeated Accrington Stanley (League Two) and Stoke City youth squad. (on tour in England)
@PhantomPanda1992 considering how soccer is largely a team sport, the team is much more important than the individuals. Since All Stars do not practice together nearly as often as an actual Premiere team, the Premiere team actually has a huge advantage. To put it in another way, a normal MLS team would have an advantage over the MLS all stars. Team chemistry and tactics is absolutely crucial.
An interesting point is that the Australians and the New Zealanders call this sport either or both soccer and football maybe because of the Australian Football League (AFL) being immensely popular in Australia and also popular in New Zealand and also because of the rugby football being quite popular in both Australia and New Zealand.
it would be cool to see the mls all starz vs the mexican league all starz: goalie: paco memo ochoa defenders: paulo da silva, magallon, castillo, bonet midfielders: torrado, romagnoli, ludueña, damian alvarez forwards: cabañas, benitez
people have got ot remember this is a mid-table EPL team versus all the best players from MLS. Get a EPL all star team and we will give you a damn good seeing too
Fully agree. To those in Europe, please be kind. We're working on establishing a long-lasting football league. The NASL failed. We don't want the MLS to fail. We are getting better. The league is only in its 14th season. Give us 5 - 10 more years. In Canada we have more kids in soccer (football) than in hockey. Go figure. Watch out for the US at WC 2010. They're getting good. Soccer is growing in the New World.
As and Englishman whom has lived in the USA and has much love for MLS as anyone I have to say any fan of MLS who thinks this was a great win is crazy. I hate West Ham, but to be fair they werent playing Hammers footy, it was an exhibition game for them. The thing which bothers me about all these Pro MLS posts is the focus on non USA stars and how great they are. MLS shouldnt be built on old foreigners expoliting it...you should be proud of your home grown talent making it in MLS and Europe.
im actually canadian....which probably explains why im not claiming something of mine is the best in the world lol. you should check out the support my club toronto fc gets. people from england say it rivals the support your teams get there...not the on field play of course...but atmosphere at the stadium.
I understand the US is a pretty big country and being based in say, Seattle, and having to play in Ohio, New York or Florida might make costs quite high. So in a way I can see the point of the Conference thing. That said however, conferences severely hinder progress in the league. Once MLS has better foundations, I'd consider dumping conferences, and I'd form a second division. That and youth academies, and with time, the MLS would become a force to be reckoned with. Greetings from COL.
If you wanted to watch an all American team watch the USA MNT not MLS all stars. Player hit his foot not the ball, whether he dived or not it's still a PK.
keep in mind that the mls all star team only had a couple days of training together. that and the fact that there are many players who didn't play who could have. there is a wealth of talent in the mls. europeans simply put the blinders on; they refuse to believe that football/soccer is played at a decent level on this continent.
very well said, i also that think that as soon as the united players realized that the american ones weren't all flops they were deeply surprised as well as disencouraged. they should've played better, they're stronger than the mls all stars.
I realize some of those players have been injured. I just put in Ruiz so it wouldn't be all United players basically. I'll admit the bias. Ruiz is good though but he's been injured a lot. However, if Olsen is healthy, he can be a great individual talent. Last I checked, Olsen was getting healthier. As for Gallardo, I really think he would be great on an all star team as well. He's scored some goals of the week this year that are better than the goal Blanco got in this game.
Premiership All-Stars would probably only consists of the players from the "Big 4" anyway. They spend more money then the entire MLS combined. West Ham spends a large amount of money too compared to MLS teams.
@SuperTastik But don't forget that West Ham are a "team" and the MLS All Stars are not a team. They don't play together and were only assembled a few days before the match...a big advantage for West Ham even if they are only in pre-season.
So what? MLS All Stars don't play together. They only assembled a few days before the match. This match was the first time they even played together....therefore West Ham hada huge the advantage in terms of cohesion.
Though you have to remember West Ham are only in pre-season, so there fitness levels aren't as good as players from the MLS. Hopefully my team Liverpool will be invited next year, show West Ham how it's done.
Cuauthemoc Blanco, es simplemente el mejor, y a sus 34 años esta demostrando la clase que tiene..... REGRESA AL AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!! eres el mejor.... no somos dignos de ti, de tus trazos que son poesia sobre la alfombra verde
Probablemente ya sabes pero regreso en 2016 en su último juego 🥲
Notice Blanco's performance as opposed to Beckham. Blanco created more opportunities and scored a great goal. He was a better purchase for Chicago Fire than Beckham was for the Galaxy.
Beckham won titles tho.
Cuauhtemoc is amazing!!!
BLANCO is awesome, with his age playing like this. Increidible
Great goal Cuauhtemoc!!
Golazo de Cuauhtémoc!!
freaking cuahtemoc blanco stole the show, he might not be fast but he is a hell of a soccer player... hell of an entertainer...
GREAT GAME, I WANTED TO SCREAM SO LOUD WHEN BLANCO SCORED THAT. and the teamwork was amazing, I also wanted beckham to score, and that shot he has that curved from left to right, and almost hit the people. NICE
Wholesome
Its great to see Beckham, and Blanco working together; They are two of the best.
Man what a game for the MLS All Stars, I never expected that my fav player in the MLS would be there and win the MVP, wow that is a big lift for mi mexico country that leaves a message 2 the mls that mexico plays good soccer, I am from LA, but when Chicago come 2 town, I go for them and I hope 2 see them win this years MLS Cup, Blanco goal was the greatest and it would be nominated again, remembering that he made the best goal of the year 07. VIVA MEXICO, Go Blanco, Go Chicago Fire, Chivas USA.
Blanco is a great player and Mexico is a great team. Blanco should have been playing for Mexico in the last world cup.
In that World Cup Mexico played a great game against Argentina but Argentina won 2-1 after an amazing goal. I'm sure Mexico will be in with a fighting chance in 2010...
hopefully the USA also :-)
MLS played Chelsea in the 2006 All-Star game and they won it 1-0.
I saw the game and I think Beckham played a great game even though he didn't noticed too much he helped a lot the team and Cuau that was the best in the field hands down but I think Beckham really played well to. Greetings to the MLS and the USA. VIVA MEXICO :)
Good game, i would like to see how the Allstars do against a fully fit team,just to see how far Football has come in USA,Blanco looks good.
blancoooooO! what a sick goal!!
ashtons was cool too but gosh
blanco's goal was nasty!
Well done to the MLS All Stars! They deserved to beat West Ham. I still don't know how Blanco manages to get open (what is he, 55 years old?!) but man, what a touch! His back heel to set up a goal and then the beautiful finish of his own...and I don't even like the guy! Kenny Cooper has always been class. He's the only player worth watching on FC Dallas, in my opinion (maybe Arturo as well). Anyway, well done boys, way to make the US proud!
Pinche Cuauhtémoc por que te fuiste cabron? te extranhamos un chingo no mames. eres chingon y aqui se lo demuestras a todos.
Great goal by Blanco at 1:47!
Yeah, Blanco MVP!! He's still a good player despite his age
blanco man of the game
Que golazo del Cuauh
De Resario penalty was awesome
f*ckin' Blanco, he was SO f*cking BRILLIANT! Greets from Estonia!
blanco... best player of the game!
Blanco = Futbol(soccer) art!!!
bravo!!!
nice pass by blanco !
that was an awesome penalty goal
ese cuau viejito y jorobado sigue dando buen futbol blanco the best....
Cuauh regresa a la seleccion...
But it's the MLS, there leauge is like number 89 in the World or something like that I don't know. But the MEXICAN shined in this game. MVP homie.
Wait,Why Am I Watching This? I Was Watching It Yesterday.Beutiful Game. (:
Blanco kicked asses in that league ; ).
Blanco is the man !
I thought it was well played and entertaining game. And I think the strides that MLS has made in it's short 13 years is amazing. Grant it it's not up to EPL or other leagues around the world yet but give it time and it will be there one day. Whats really exciting is the quality of American players coming up in MLS and a perfect example is all the MLS American players going overseas to play like Altidore, Guzan, Adu and others so the future is bright for MLS my friends!!
that looked like a tight game.
thanks for the upload!
West Ham grant it was in their preseason but they had been in the states for longer than a couple of days in fact they played in Columbus the Sunday before. And also the MLS all stars only practiced a couple of hours the day before with one another and Dero who scored the winning PK actually got to Toronto that morning from DC so both teams were at a disadvantage but it was still a very entertaining game.
nice highlights, good editing, thanks for sharing, cheers
i am a west ham supporter(English) and all i wan tto say is that good video but also the all stars are they like all the best players from the league or just a team? and that west ham did well so di allstars good game
Blanco the best one there 🇲🇽😎
Yes, it was an All Star team with some good players on it. However you have to remember that the All Star team have never played together before and only assembled a few days before the match, whereas the West Ham players knew each other inside and out for the most part which is a big avantage for West Ham.
You do know that this MLS All-Star Game was hosted in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, not in USA.
We realise that West Ham are in pre-season but you also have to realise that the MLS All Starts do not play together. They assembled a few days before this match and it was their first time playing together. Therefore, in terms of cohesion, West Ham went in to the game with a big advantage.
Great all star game. Blanco is a freaking stud. He's an old man, but still got it upstairs.
LSUNatlChamps! we had Joe Widdowson (never played a prem game in his life) vs david beckham (hundred england caps and hundreds of prem, la liga games) and Joe still held his own. We had a mix of our 1st team and youth team. That was the best team your league!!! could pick and u still only won by a penalty. Carry on playing GridIron and leave the real football to us!
does mls play offsides?
Deano had a great game
And boa morte has a surprisingly good game
I wish Blanco would have stayed in Chicago. It made the MLS way more interesting.
I was there. 14 years old. Such a good game.
I agree with you. If we really want to prove something, we need to invite a team like Manchester United. Maybe a good team like that would actually motivate us to send our real "stars". We had some in this game but not all. Where's Ruiz, Emilio, Moreno, Gallardo, Olsen, and others? It's been a while since MLS actually used the real best players for an all star team. I'd love to see those type of players vs Man-U with both sides actually trying their hardest.
the hammers didnt have a strong side out bout i think that MLS is so under rated, deserves alot of credit because it look like a very exciting and competitive league UP THE FULHAM !!
Agree big time! There's only 1 or 2 decent ones covering the MLS...these weren't them.
honestly im an amrerican and i enjoy watching the EPL more then MLS imo. i only watch the MLS to see the new cleats
@cattleyarockz It's to promote the game in the States. Nobody ever said the MLS could stand to the EPL.
lets try mls all-stars vs man utd.. Beckham against utd? Damn..
I'm a West Ham fan and I've seen us play truly terribly, but we put out a really convincing performance in this game, considering Celtic got their arses handed to them and Chelsea didn't do too well. Again you have to remember that these are the best players from an entire league! Premiership All-Stars vs MLS All-Stars, that would be hilarious.

I fucking loved that blanco wasnt "overshadowed" by mr. becks... pure skill by el TEMO!
@TDL4D South Africa and most of asia call it Soccer as well. I don't see anyone yelling at them.
What do you mean about proper stadiums? Most stadiums for MLS teams are designed for soccer. Although they are rather small since it's not as of a big sport as American football.
why was donovan benched?!!
@TDL4D Our sport is called "Football" because it was adapted from Rugby Football in 1901. Once again, It all goes back to the English.
Oh by the way bigchivin Dero scored the winning goal a couple of years ago in the All Star game agaisnt Chelsea! It was a 1-0 final than. I'm not saying MLS is better than this league our that I'm just saying MLS in its short 13 years has made great strides and are continuing to get better every year and growing and thats great for us soccer fans in the US!!
Cuauhtemoc Blanco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good game.. mls is getting better and better
Heck the NHL played a preseason game in London and the NFL played preseason games in London and the US American basketball team just played a friendly with Canada yesterday and smacked them 120 to 65 so please again we understand the whole preseason thing
i wish they do mls all stars vs man utd or milan next year 4 some real competition
I would love to see All Stars vs Man Utd and I think the guys at the MLS offices would love that too. Could you imagine the tv ratings good god it would be great for our league here. And also expose Man Utd to the casual North American fan..
@SuperTastik its also players who have a single week to work together. some of them even having matches that week
You forgot to add the best EVER. No exceptions.
BNR for life.

there are at least two dozen top flight US players in Europe: davies (get well soon), bocanegra, tim howard, braz guzan, clint dempsey, john spector.
on top of that the Austin Aztex (USL) recently defeated Accrington Stanley (League Two) and Stoke City youth squad. (on tour in England)

Isn't Beckham on the English national team? If so and he's that bad what does that say about Englands national team?
@Chubs760 Mexico's and USA's group stage is going 2b easy!! I'm guessing another final?
An interesting point is that the Australians and the New Zealanders call this sport either or both soccer and football maybe because of the Australian Football League (AFL) being immensely popular in Australia and also popular in New Zealand and also because of the rugby football being quite popular in both Australia and New Zealand.

Watch out for the US at WC 2010. They're getting good. Soccer is growing in the New World.
I find I actually like the american commentary better than english commentary. Strange. How often do these friendly games get played?
@SuperTastik
wrong...this team is multinational
@SearchAndBuild yeah the entire national side almost plays exclusively in Europe.
what does that have to do with anything?
seems a good match
Looked like a good game right there :)

they should play Man U or Milan next year or even better Real Madrid! :D or some German team like Bayern :) now that would be nice to watch!
they should face a bid team like arsenal or manu they would see how we roll
Though you have to remember West Ham are only in pre-season, so there fitness levels aren't as good as players from the MLS.
Hopefully my team Liverpool will be invited next year, show West Ham how it's done.
Impressive, the best players in whole america beat westham with a single goal. Nice.
