MLS announces fan-voted all-stars

NEW YORK (AP) -- Landon Donovan, David Beckham and Thierry Henry highlight the MLS First XI team that will face Chelsea of the English Premier League on July 25 in the league's all-star game.

Fans voted for the team, which may not necessarily be the same one that starts the game against the European champions. D.C. United coach Ben Olsen will choose the actual starting lineup based on game considerations, from among a game-day roster of 18 players. The rest of the roster will be chosen by Olsen and MLS Commissioner Don Garber.

Those choices will be announced next Sunday during the broadcast of the New York Red Bulls' game against the Seattle Sounders.
