When voting for the 2013 AT&T MLS All-Star Game opened on Thursday, MLS asked the fans who should get the chance to go against AS Roma on July 31 at Sporting Park?
We decided to ask our editors the same thing, but with an empasis on winning the star-studded event and without any roster constraints. After all, the league's stated goal isn't just to play some of the best teams in the world each summer – it's also to beat them.
Check out our picks, let us know what you think in the comments section below and, most importantly, make sure to vote!
