This does not matter. MLS does not matter. It is a fun game for the kids to play who can't play Football or Basketball and is much cheaper then Football. It can be fun to play for boys and girls and is good exercise. On the Pro Level in America it draws fly�s. Americans like Sports where you can score points lots of points. Area Football out draws Soccer. The NHL in Arizona out draws Soccer.

Let me guess Real-ly, you're not a fan? Gee that's a big surprise that some naisayer would leave the first comment. REAL has a new stadium, a very beautiful one, the team is improving, the fan base is growing. They are hear to stay DEAL WITH IT!

My uninterest in an American soccer club perennially in contention for last place continues uninterrupted.

Hatuletoh and all you other haters, you say you are uninterested in Real and yet every single article that is posted about them you are the first ones to comment. That is truly pathetic. Get a life.

I would hate to be on the battle field with you hates.
You would probably shot everyone you see just in case they were the enemy.

Wow four posts already from people who claim not to care? Oh, the irony!

Landing the ASG2009 is pretty cool, I guess. I mean, we'll get a lot of exposure and whatnot, and all of the MLS stars will be in town, as well as some big name team from abroad. It will be interesting to see how exactly this shakes out.

This will be fun, and it will extremely difficult to score a ticket...especially if the opponent is Real Madrid/ ManU quality.

Hopefully RSL can improve as much from 08 to 09 as they have from 07 to 08. That would make the All-Star team very well represented by RSL.

You naysayers have taken too many headers while bowling. This All-Star game will be the biggest sporting event in Utah since the 1979 Final Four.

Last comic standing will be more like last fan standing. Try to do the wave at the start of the game with one person and his dog Pele in the stands.

My money's on the dog if a riot breaks out among rabid fans.

Before making such ridiculous comments, do your homework! ReAL has one of the most largest fan bases in the MLS! The stadium will be full, so once you get over your bitterness, come on down to the new stadium and enjoy the worlds most popular sport! We won't be a hater like you!

I will never understand why people waste their time and energy hating on soccer! You don't like it fine, I don't expect everyone too. I don't like a lot of sports but I don't waste my time finding articles to make lame and uneducated comments about the sport! I just let people who like it actually enjoy it! Again I will never understand why people just want to hate for no reason! Grow up!

BTW, MLS fans don't do the wave... they watch the action on the field. I mean, I know a lot of sports that we Americans traditionally like are kind of slow-paced, with lots of down time - especially with TV time outs and the like - but in soccer the action never stops. You go to the game to watch the play. Kind of a novel idea, huh?

Get Real: "biggest sporting event in Utah since the 1979 Final Four"

While I appreciate your enthusiasm, you have forgetten a few minor events since then. Namely the 1997 and 1998 NBA Finals. And that little thing they call the 2002 Winter Olympic Games!
