Major League Soccer has its All-Star Game tonight at 6:30 on ESPN (and UniMas), which will see the best of the the MLS teams take on Arsenal from the English Premier League. Given its position atop the league table, as well as its success last season, you might expect that FC Dallas would be represented in San Jose. And you’re right: Mauro Diaz and Kellyn Acosta with both be there, and both are deserving.
Diaz is one of the best ball handlers around, not just in MLS, small but impossible to knock off the ball, and willing to try things like this bicycle kick pass. And Acosta — who just turned 21 — is the future, not only of FCD but also the US Men’s National Team. The homegrown player from Plano who came up through FCD’s academy was the youngest player brought to the USMNT camp earlier this year and earned his first cap.
