SAN JOSE, Calif. -- MLS All-Star team manager Dominic Kinnear left little doubt how he'll approach the game against Premier League giants Arsenal.
He and the players under him will be aiming to win.
"My instructions were as the coach of this team to be as balanced as possible in picking players from around the league and making sure that when the team steps on the field, we're trying to win the game," said Kinnear, the manager of the host San Jose Earthquakes. "That's my intention and I'll pass that on to the players."
The approach may seem obvious, but it isn't quite as cut and dried as it may seem.
