THE FUSE

Tom Hindle: Yes and no. MLS will always have its quirks, charms, and ways of distinguishing itself from the rest of the footballing world. An All Star Game is one of those things. Now, does the score matter? Probably not. Is it as big of a deal to be an MLS All Star as it is in the NBA or MLB? Nah. But it does feel like quite a nice occasion, and something to hold onto. And a little acknowledgement of quality never hurt anybody!
