Chelsea vs. MLS Allstars

After the past two years playing and being thrashed by Manchester United (2010 score 5-2, 2011 score 4-0), the MLS All-stars reign again beating the Europeans champions Chelsea 3-2. I watched the game and I'll have to say that the MLS All-stars played a better game. Their passing was more complete and they were more efficient with their finishing than Chelsea. At half time Chelsea had 9 shots on goal only 2 on target, while the MLS had only 4 shots, but 3 were on target. That's what I call making your chances count.


First goal was was at the 21st minute from Chris Wondoloski. A great cross from Thiery Henry and unsuccessful clearance by John Terry gave Wondoloski the chance to open the scoring for the game and the All-stars. Chelsea had to try and catch up and they did with a wonderful header from John Terry because of a corner-kick from Lampard. The game's score stayed 1-1 at half-time. After half-time at the 58th minute, Frank Lampard himself scored a goal. After a cross from him, the All-stars were not able to clear the ball. The ball was crossed right back into the box and Lampard was there to finish it. For a midfielder he has sure scored a lot of goals. I remember the announcer saying how if you didn't know Lampard was a midfielder, you'd think he would be a center forward. Chelsea were now up, but the MLS came back. A wonderful pass from David Beckham to De Ro. De Ro waits while Chris Pontius comes running into the box and is able to finish it off. It's 2-2 now. The game was coming down to it's final minutes when Eddie Johnson took the final shot which was partially deflected by a Chelsea player and ended the game then and there. The MLS All-stars beat Chelsea 3-2. They have (I guess) redeemed themselves from the last two years playing against Manchester United. The last time Chelsea played the MLS All-Stars they also lost 1-0.


So after a wonderful 4-2 win in Seattle and a 1-1 with PSG in New York, Chelsea have to leave Philadelphia on a 3-2 lose. Their next stop is to Miami where they are to AC Milan. I wonder how that game will be because Milan has lost two of their most vital players, Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva. Also I was looking at the results from all the MLS All-star games, and they have never played a Spanish team, like Barcelona or Real Madrid. I personally would love to see the MLS All-stars play either of the two Spanish Giants.
