The Women's Professional Soccer All-Star game will be hosted by St. Louis.  It will take place on August 30, 2009 in the Anheuser-Busch Soccer Park in Fenton, Mo, versus elite Swedish club Umeå IK.

WPS All-Star Voting began on July 17th but will continue until July 31st. All-Star voting allows you to vote for (1) goalkeeper, (3) defenders, (5) midfielders, and (2) forwards.  The WPS ballot also gives a great option to write-in your favorite player.  This is especially helpful for those of you who have a favorite player that isn't originally listed on the ballot. 

The WPS All-Star team will be selected by late July in the following way:

11 players - Vote counting 25% fans, 25% media, 25% players, 25% coaches
7 players - At-Large Selections (WPS Commissioner and All-Star Head Coach)

In a unique twist for the first year of the WPS All-Star Game, the All-Star Team head coach will be voted on collectively by the players with the announcement coming in late July.(www.womensprosoccer.com)

More on All-Star voting... 
One Chicago Local 134 supporter is hoping to get others to insert Red Stars forward, Ella Masar, as an All-Star candidate.  Other bloggers at Goal.com are picking Cristiane and Megan Rapinoe as nominees for the All-Star line-up.  My personal favorite for the All-Star match would be Swedish goalkeeper, Caroline Jönsson, who I think has had an outstanding season with all the shots she's been up against.
