Park scores the second, 2:0 at the half.
Beckham and Olave (sp?) looked great for the MLS All Stars

They really need to just scrap the All Star Game.... It's a pointless game right in the middle of the season when teams have more important things to worry about.

I like the WFC format as teams get to decide themselves if they want to be involved and at least they can treat it as a training session for the team.

Playing with a bunch of guys you haven't trained with doesn't help anyone.

Last three games of this exhibition should all be good.

Check the first page for the schedule.

I know the game is meaningless, but I'm still excited for the United Barca rematch tonight

Cleverley impressed me, as did Welbeck. I didn't think Anderson's performance was particularly good. But man can Thiago fire them from distance. Glad to get the win though.

I will say that a million times but we never close out in midfield and there's a reason players get that many shots off from outside the box against us.

All 3 goalkeepers have been brilliant so far and if I had to pick one, Lindegaard truly stands out to me. Quick distribution, great reflexes and commanding presence. Speaks English, which is a real bonus.

De Gea has only got 2 games till now but looks more comfortable on the ball than the other two. If he does click I think he'll be one hell of a keeper within a short time.

Marco Fabian is great, he's been Chivas best player since last season, in my opinion. Always creating and scoring goals. I really wish he could have played Copa America.
