Beckham, Donovan selected

July 11, 2008|From the Associated Press

Galaxy stars David Beckham and Landon Donovan headline the roster for the MLS All-Star Game, which will be played July 24 in Toronto against the English Premier League club West Ham United.

Also selected to the team were midfielders Sacha Kljestan of Chivas USA, Cuauhtemoc Blanco of the Chicago Fire and Robbie Rogers of Columbus, defenders Jimmy Conrad of the Kansas City Wizards and Frankie Hejduk of the Columbus Crew, and forward Kenny Cooper of FC Dallas.

The league-leading New England Revolution claimed three of the 11 early roster spots for the game -- defender Michael Parkhurst, midfielder Shalrie Joseph and goalkeeper Matt Reis.

The first 11 players were chosen based on voting by fans, players, media and coaches/general managers.

Donovan led in aggregate votes and Beckham had the edge in fan voting.

New England Revolution Coach Steve Nicol will fill out the roster Tuesday with five more selections.
