The game will likely be a close one, as Chelsea will continue their preseason training regimen.
Anticipate this game to go to penalties, much like it did in 2009, when the MLS All-Stars fell 3-4 in penalties against Everton. With the talent across the board for Chelsea, they should have the scorers to warrant an offensive onslaught. But the MLS team is not constructed like a typical All-Star roster. It is a well-rounded bunch that is built with a team game in mind. It does not have a group of players thrown together, but rather a cohesive team-first approach that is necessary to compete with top-tier international talent. With that in mind, the MLS All-Stars will keep the game close and be in a position to grab a victory when it goes to penalties. The US squad does feature players who have competed with International talent before, and expect them to make their presence felt during the All-Star game.
