The MLS All-Stars will face English Premier League club Fulham on 30 July at the Colombus Crew Stadium. The event marks the second time in three seasons that top MLS players from MLS will square off with a foreign club. The 2005 Sierra Mist MLS All-Star Game will feature the return of forward Brian McBride to Columbus, where he spent eight seasons. Joining McBride is another U.S. product now plying his trade at Craven Cottage in London, defender Carlos Bocanegra, formerly of the Chicago Fire. "We are proud to present American soccer fans an All-Star Game that celebrates the league's 10th season and the lasting impact MLS has had in the U.S. and around the football world," said MLS Commissioner Don Garber. "We look forward to welcoming Fulham and former MLS All-Stars Brian McBride and Carlos Bocanegra back to Columbus in July for what is sure to be one of the most competitive matches in the event's history."
