We’re not turning into a soccer blog, I swear, but this is newsworthy: according to Ives Galarcep – a FOX Soccer writer and a red-stater, no doubt – the Union will host the 2012 MLS All-Star Game: [Soccer By Ives]

The Union and MLS have scheduled a press conference in Philadelphia for Tuesday, where Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter and MLS commissioner are expected to announce that PPL Park will be host this summer's 2012 MLS All-Star Game.

 

There have been some rumblings that the team the All-Stars will play is Chelsea of the English Premiere League, but that’s not confirmed. Perhaps we’ll find out tomorrow.

Cheerio.
