Here is the Starting XI for the MLS All Stars: Rimando; Beltran, Gonzalez, Besler, Beasley; Zusi, McCarty, Kaka (C), Zardes; Villa, Dempsey

Kaka has enjoyed the festivities around the match. "It's very good, for me it's a great experience."

Drew Moor, the Colorado Rapids longtime captain, couldn't believe it when he was named to the 2015 MLS All-Star roster. "Unbelievable," Moor said. "I'm still in awe when I get in the same car with David Villa in the back seat and go to an appearance. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Moor told the Colorado Springs Gazette.

Tottenham kicks off the EPL season at Manchester United on Aug. 8. "We take it quite seriously, of course, because we are in the preseason," said Tottenham's Toby Alderweireld. "We have to prepare ourselves for the game in two weeks in the Premier League. I think these times there is no friendly game anymore, everybody wants to show themselves and wants to give their best."

“It’s a tricky type of game,” Seattle forward Clint Dempsey said. “This is our first training session today and we have the game tomorrow. If we win, we’re supposed to win because we’re in midseason. If we lose, it’s a bad reflection on the league. We have to make sure we go out and represent ourselves well and do well.”

“There are very few events that are real, competitive matches where guys are going out and putting their pride on the line,” MLS commissioner Don Garber said at a MLS WORKS event Monday afternoon. “It’s not just a showcase. Part of that is we want to show we can go toe-to-toe with any team in the world. Sometimes, we get our butts kicked. Sometimes, we do a pretty good job of kicking butt ourselves.”

I think it’s a celebration and where the league is at,” Sporting Kansas City defender Matt Besler said. “For the players, we want to do our best to show and represent what this league is about. The best way to do that is to beat teams and win games. We’ve seen it in years past what a win over a top club in the world can do for the league. We’re hoping to do that again this year.”

“We need to understand for the all-stars it’s a very important game, I think for us it’s the same,” Spurs coach Mauricio Pochettino said. “We expect a very tough game.”

With new TV deals worldwide, players in larger leagues have taken notice of MLS. “I think it’s getting bigger and better,” Spurs forward Harry Kane said. “Maybe before players were coming over towards the end of their career when maybe they weren’t as fast and they weren’t as sharp, but because it’s gotten better and the league has gotten better players are now seeing it as an opportunity to go and express themselves worldwide in a top league. I think you’ll see more and more in the future coming over halfway through their careers or maybe at the start of their careers.”

Pablo Mastroeni had to make some last minute roster changes ahead of the match against Tottenham as four players dropped out of the game. Los Angeles Galaxy stars Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard will not play as well as Michael Bradley and Chris Tierney. They join Obafemi Martins and Frank Lampard on the withdrawn list. Martins and Lampard announced earlier that they would not be appearing as they recover from injuries.
