Apologies if this subject has already its own thread. I,m all for the all star trip, but just dont see the point in playing these pathetic matches they portray as exhibitions. I now live in San diego california, and had the "pleasure " of attending the game there, when they visited in 2003. It was a complete Joke,lots of the guys coming back "loaded" ( fair play to them ) the morning of the "game" from Tiijuana , Mexico. Goalkeepers playing outfield etc. Why not just have the trip and scrap the "game"? For annybody actually watching one of them, it makes a mockery of the game...discuss
