The 2011 MLS All-Star Game kicks off tonight (8:30pm, ESPN) with the MLS All-Stars taking on Manchester United.
The event should offer a better competitive battle than last year's All-Star Game, which saw Manchester United post a 5-2 victory in Houston. With Thierry Henry, David Beckham and Faryd Mondragon among the new faces who didn't play in last year's All-Star Game, MLS should have a better showing at Red Bull Arena.
Another thing working in the MLS All-Stars' favor is that, according to Manchester United's official website, Javier Hernandez suffered a concussion in training on Tuesday, meaning that the Mexican striker shouldn't have an impact on tonight's outcome.
Here is a preview of tonight's match, with comments from Thierry Henry, Hans Backe and David Beckham.

Mls all stars are lucky chicharito isn’t there to score on them.
Too far.
This baseball better not go into E-xtra innings…
Idk eating ice cream for a month straight can f**k up the brain
Chicharito didnt suffer a concussion. ManU just knows we take that seriously in the US so it was an easy excuse not to play him after he spent a month eating fried ice cream.
Damn…no Chicharo…now Eurosnobs will have an excuse once they lose
You meant a BROdEo
looking like a sausag-E fest to me bro
Where are all the E-women at??
(is playing Afrojack’s Daft Sound) (Followed by Tiesto’s Adagio for strings)
All these internet puns are pretty egregious.

Actually, P-Funk
E-funk
this game better be E-tertaining
All this E-tailgating is making me e-xhausted.
play more funk
this is E-money here on the turntables playing Beautiful People by Benny Benassi. Followed by Eric Prydz’s Pjanoo
I don’t think I’ve caught one minute of any MLS all-star game. These days, if you want to watch any player, you can watch a real game easily.
I am sick of E-tailgating. I am getting in my real car and getting the hell outta here for some real beer. Can’t wait for the game.
is that an e-hot dog or a real one? Cuz you should really keep your e-condiments separate…
Pass the e-mustard, my hot dog is getting cold
Man, this is some fun E-tailgating. I’m having an E-beer right now at work!
