J. Sam Jones | Ilsinho's the captain of the People’s Team

As preseason continues, MLSSoccer.com's J Sam Jones compiled his Best XI but not just about on the field play. No, it's "a colleciton of players that, in some form, understand that soccer is a sport for the masses and the masses wish to be entertained by any means necessary."

A pair of Philadelphia Union players made the cut with a third left as an alternative due to a two-players per club limit imposed by the writer. Leading the lead is everyone's favorite 5-star Brazilian in MLS, Ilsinho.

Not only is Ilsinho at the top of the list, he's the captain of squad.
