The MLS All-Star Game takes place tonight at the recently renamed Exploria Stadium, home of Orlando City, as the MLS All-Stars take on Atlético Madrid. For the league, it’s a chance to show off some of the league’s brightest stars, like Wayne Rooney, Carlos Vela, Josef Martinez, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, against a European opponent. It’s a chance for those stars to have some fun with each other and join together to show off some of the league’s talent.
However, there are some that think it’s a spectacle that doesn’t need to happen, or could happen in a different format that takes the attention away from the lose-lose situation of playing a team from Europe that’s in its preseason.
