Sporting Kc defender Matt Besler has been selected to the 2011 All-Star squad. He will join the likes of Landon Donovan, David Beckham, and Thierry Henry in the All-Star camp. Although he was not selected to the Starting XI (meaning he did not receive the most fan votes through internet voting) he did however earn an overwhelming 30% of all votes via text. Whether or not he will start is up to coach Hans Backe.
The All-Star call up comes after what can only be described as a break out season for Matt. Appearing 16 times for KC he has scored once, and along with Aurelien Collin he has helped Sporting Kc improve defensively.
The All-Star game will be played on July 27 at Red Bull Arena. The All-Stars will take on EPL giant Manchester United. A team that your very own Sporting Kc beat last season.
