NEW YORK — With the dust slowly settling on last nights 4-0 All-Star Game thrashing of the MLS at the hands of Manchester United, the league wakes up this morning to the realization that things arent as bad as they looked in the dusky haze of last night, and that it doesnt even have a hangover.
With the perspective of hindsight comes the realization that the MLS All-Stars, or all of Major League Soccer for that matter, neednt tread the walk of shame today.
First things first: This was an exhibition game. This was not a referendum on the league. Although many billed it as such, that was never a fair characterization. The All-Stars had just two days together, and only about two hours of serious training at that, to somehow glue-stick together a team with enough structural integrity to face a painstakingly assembled and precisely calibrated behemoth.
