Blanco has goal and assist, MLS stars top West Ham
TORONTO – Chicago midfielder Cuauhtemoc Blanco scored one goal and helped set up another, and Houston midfielder Dwayne DeRosario snapped a tie with a penalty kick to give the MLS All-Stars a 3-2 victory over English Premier League team West Ham United on Thursday night.
Couldn’t ask for a better game all things considered. The stars performed and Canada’s own Dwayne De Rosario scored the deciding goal from a penalty kick in a very entertaining back and forth game.
From the article
NOTES: MLS announced plans Thursday to add two expansion teams in time for the 2011 season, boosting league membership to 18. … The English and American national anthems were played before the teams took the field, but not the Canadian anthem. After briefly booing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the crowd launched into an impromptu version of “O Canada.” The Canadian anthem was performed live after both teams had entered the field.
That was just dumb, someone working for MLS screwed up there.
