MLS All-Star Game 2011: Dynamo Well Represented

The Houston Dynamo got four players on the 2011 MLS All-Star roster...I'm not completely sure how. Brad Davis deserves to be there, much like he deserves attention from Bob Bradley for the national team. Davis has been one of the few offensive bright spots for Houston, leading both the team and all of MLS with 9 assist and it's great to see him get the laurels his play deserves. Tally Hall certainly deserves his spot as well, in his first season as the Dynamo's first choice goalkeeper, Hall has been outstanding saving the team's bacon on multiple occasions and helping them steal points in several games where they likely deserved less.

Then there's Corey Ashe and Geoff Cameron. Nothing against either player but why are they on the All-Star team? Cameron is having a mediocre season at best playing out of position and Ashe is having a decent season playing out of position. If you wanted a defender from Houston, why not Andre Hainault who is clearly the team's best defender and is having an outstanding year. In all honesty, with the problems the Dynamo are having, the idea of four starters being gone for a pointless mid-week exhibition ahead of an absolute must win game is nothing to be excited about.
