Today Major League Soccer announced the complete 2018 All-Star game roster, which will be played on August 1, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, against Juventus. Among those selected were Red Bulls forward Bradley Wright-Phillips, as well as defenders Aaron Long and Michael Amir Murillo.
For Long, it is a dream come true.
"It’s something that I’ve always dreamt of," Long said. "Most young American kids in this league dream of playing a top team in Europe. There’s not a lot of opportunities to do that, so getting called to this All-Star game, and getting to play against a great side like Juve, a historical side for Italy, is big time for sure.
