Who do you have representing MLS in the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game against Bayern Munich?
It's a question fans have been answering for over a month in the online vote for the Fan XI, and we decided to pose it to some of MLSsoccer.com's staff, with an emphasis on constructing a side that could give Bayern a run for their money on August 6.
Editors were allowed to pick any player on the All-Star ballot, which means you might see some players who have since left the league, while others are listed at a certain position on the ballot but may play another in a given person's lineup.
If you haven't already, be sure to vote for your favorite players, or the team you think could beat Bayern, using the online ballot. And be sure to weigh in with your own preferred XI in the comments below!
