On Wednesday night in Los Angeles, MLS players might enjoy a rare competitive advantage against their traditional tormenters from south of the border.
This uniquely American All-Star Game thing represents uncharted territory for Liga MX, which is participating in the annual event for the first time. The match between the two select teams, postponed from its original 2020 time slot by the pandemic, will include several MLS players with All-Star experience and a manager, LAFC’s Bob Bradley, who’s coached the game before. Others making their maiden appearance, especially the U.S. players, will at least be comfortable with the concept.
