He's been consistently effective for the San Jose Earthquakes as both a left back and a midfielder.

MLS All-Stars vs. Manchester United Red Bull Arena - Harrison, NJ - 7:30 pm CT TV: ESPN2 (ENG) / Galavision (SPN)

Tonight in New York, Major League Soccer's biggest game of the year takes place as the MLS All-Stars face off against Manchester United of the English Premier League.

The 2011 MLS All-Star Game kicks off tonight (8:30pm, ESPN) with the MLS All-Stars taking on Manchester United.

The event should offer a better competitive battle than last year's All-Star Game, which saw Manchester United post a 5-2 victory in Houston. With Thierry Henry, David Beckham and Faryd Mondragon among the new faces who didn't play in last year's All-Star Game, MLS should have a better showing at Red Bull Arena.

The Major League Soccer All-Stars will take the pitch against Manchester United for the second straight year. This year they do so at Red Bull Arena, which should be full. Kasey Keller will be there, but merely as the third keeper, and though he's the only Seattle Sounder that will be on the bench today, there is plenty of reason to pay attention to this event.

Last year, the MLS All-Stars fell to Manchester United in front of 70,000+ at Reliant Stadium in Houston by a score of 5-2. Tonight, Faryd Mondragon and the rest of the 2011 MLS All-Stars look to exact a tiny bit of revenge on the EPL side, who remain stateside after their participation in the World Football Challenge to take on the best of MLS at Red Bull Arena.
