We know the date (Aug. 2), the opponent (Real Madrid) and the location (Solider Field in Chicago), but what’s still to be determined is who will take the field for Team MLS. Twenty-two players will be tasked to represent the league, with 11 coming via fan vote, two selected by Commissioner Don Garber and nine chosen by head coach Veljko Paunovic of the Chicago Fire.
With 22 teams in the league, each would average one player selected, although it’s obvious that some will have multiple and others none. Last year at Avaya Stadium, the Quakes had two players in Chris Wondolowski and David Bingham.
