i dont care, i dont want any nycfc players called up to an all star game. Especially this year with the congestion of games already being a big issue.
ok no nycfc player in the promotional picture... a good start.
Vote for New England players! We play them following the All Star Game.
The all-star voting has just started and at this point in the season, I have confidence in saying that I really doubt anybody from our squad will be voted in as an all-star and that makes me happy. lol.
I want our players to get recognition for sure, but one less meaningless game to play and risk injury is fine by me!
Gil and Turner should be shoe-ins for the Revs for sure.i been voting for a bunch of revs players. as we play them after the all star game
Gil and Turner should be shoe-ins for the Revs for sure.
NYCFC Fans: Don't vote for any NYCFC players.
Also NYCFC Fans: How come MLS Digital never gives NYCFC the attention it deserves?
Look, be strategic about this if you want, but deliberately choosing to depress NYCFC fan engagement has a cost.
Totally fair. I'd also rather win. Not sure how much All Star game participation correlates (reverse or otherwise) with winning MLS playoffs, but that's another issue.im of the mindset of lets win the cup give me the cup i dont care if not a peep was spoken about us all year by MLS digital.

Also, team selection is based on "a combination of fans, media and players," which I'm pretty sure means the league office will do what it wants and there's likely de minimis correlation between anyone's vote and who is on the roster.
Which is pretty hilarious.I think the possibility of James Sands not making the All-Star Game roster has gone way down in the last week.
Yes. I still think there's a good chance he won't qualify under the opaque tripartite vote (though he might get decent support among players and media), but I expect the league will just insert him because they want to get as much archival footage of him as possible so they can use it when he is in UEFA CL.Which is pretty hilarious.
I think he's been very deserving of making the All-Star roster this year, but he likely never would have made it, except for these Gold Cup games. Which really shouldn't have any bearing on this, but it understandably will.
The rest of the league's fans has a bias against our players. They see us, understandably, as that sheikh owned team playing in a baseball stadium and generally don't watch our games against neutral opponents. I was shocked by the number of fans on Bigsoccer and Twitter who had very little to no idea who James Sands was until now.Which is pretty hilarious.
