Rangers Reaction: Choo worthy of first All-Star selection, but making team won't be easy

The pregame clubhouse seemed more densely populated by media than Texas Rangers players Saturday morning.

The players were there, but just scattered about watching the Korea-Mexico match in the World Cup.

Shin-Soo Choo was decked out in a Korea uniform. Yovani Gallardo wore a Mexico jersey. Jake Diekman, who drew Korea in the World Cup pool, was on Team Choo. The majority pulled for Mexico.

The majority ended up ruling, as Mexico prevailed 2-1. A media member who knows far more than most on soccer wasn't pleased with the flopping the Mexican players were doing, and went to far as to accuse them of doing it frequently when holding a lead.
