FIFA Cancels Los Angeles All-Star Game

Organizers at FIFA headquarters have decided to snub the Los Angeles All-Star soccer event that was to be held last weekend. Everything was in place to host the U.S. MLS All-Star team crew who were to play against a select group of world soccer stars.
France's Patrick Viera in action during the international friendly match, France vs Argentina at the stade de France, in Saint-Denis, near Paris on February 7, 2007.
Players on the opposing team included Italy’s Marco Materazzi and Mauro Camoranesi, France’s Patrick Viera, Spain’s Fernando Morrientes and the Netherlands’ Edgar Davids.
The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was already reserved for the event and everything was in place before FIFA pulled the plug on everything. No explanation was given and no one was prepared to comment to an angry mob of reporters and fans.
Sounds to me like another successful attempt at stifling the progression of soccer in North America.
