MLS ALL-STARS TO FACE WEST HAM UNITED :: West Ham United, the historic east London club of the English Premier League, will face the MLS All-Stars in the 2008 Pepsi MLS All-Star Game at BMO Field, the
home of Toronto FC, on Thursday, July 24.
This midseason showcase will continue the theme of "MLS Takes on the World." The MLS All-Star team is 4-0 in previous All-Star Games against international opponents.
"Toronto's support of Major League Soccer has been nothing short of extraordinary, and we're thrilled to bring our All-Star Game to a sold-out BMO Field," MLS Commissioner Don Garber said. "The TFC supporters
and other fans from around the league will provide a vibrant and enthusiastic setting for the game. We are excited to partner with Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment to host this memorable display of the world's
game."
Founded in 1895, West Ham United boasts a roster full of international talent, highlighted by the captains of Sweden, Australia and Wales – Freddie Ljungberg, Lucas Neill and Craig Bellamy. The club
also has several England national team players including Robert Green, Matthew Upson, Scott Parker and Kieron Dyer plus American defender Jonathan Spector and Portugal forward Luis Boa Morte. The latter played for
Fulham in the 2005 match that saw the MLS All-Stars deliver a 4-1 victory over the EPL club.
West Ham United features one of soccer's most recognizable jerseys, with the claret body and sky blue sleeves. The
team is affectionately known as the "Hammers," a reference to its origin as the company team for Thames Ironworks. West Ham United currently sits in 10th place in the English Premier League with 44 points for the
2007-2008 season.
