Do Arsenal fans always choose the cannon in Monopoly? #MLSAllStar
Commentators spend a lot of time discussing Arsenal considering this is the #MLSAllStar game.
What is the #MLSAllStar No. 10 order of succession if Giovinco couldn't play?
Boo. I wanted penalties #MLSAllStar
GOAL, Arsenal! Akpom gives the Gunners the lead with just four minutes left in the #MLSAllStar Game. 2-1!

That one Ball Kid at #MLSAllStar is so over this game. Just casually sitting against the boards, begrudgingly chasing down balls.
Giovinco is proving that he is a world class player no matter what team he is facing. 🔥 #MLSAllStar
Remember, if Arsenal wins, they get home field advantage in the MLS championship #MLSAllStar
This game needs some Zardes magic. #MLSAllStar
People still believe in wondolowski?? People still believe he is an all star? #MLSAllStar
Before its all over, @andreblake29 will be playing in the @premierleague. Guy is incredible. #MLSAllStar

"Let's go All-Stars" is starting to ring through the stadium now #MLSAllStar
Wondo doing what he does best #MLSAllStar
Cyle Larin gallops down the field on the break, cuts it back to Wondo, whose effort flies over the bar #MLSAllStar

#MLSAllStar team puttin pressure on these fools! Get em! @MLS- 57'Attempt missed. Kellyn Acosta (MLS All-Stars) left footed shot from outside the box is high and wide to the left.

Props to Canadian, Larin, on being named an #MLSAllStar
Giovinco, best player on the field this half, gets about 30 minutes of #MLSAllStar play.
The #MLSAllStar Team has no more subs. WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS ALL-STAR GAME GOES TO EXTRA INNINGS?!?

In unrelated news.. Wenger desperately trying to sign Giovinco. #MLSAllStar
Wil Trapp did just get invited to @Browns training camp so he has that going for him... #MLSAllStar #CrewSC
Will Trapp just pulled a Wondo. In San Jose. With Wondo on the field. From 30 yards out. #MLSAllStar- 53'Ignacio Piatti (MLS All-Stars) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
- 53'Foul by Granit Xhaka (Arsenal).
Giovinco has been on the pitch for 10 minutes and he's already been best MLS player of the night. #MLSAllStar
Giovinco. That touch. 😱😱😱 #MLSAllStar
Changes, energy doing a lot for Arsenal right now. Drawing fouls, getting corner kicks. #ArsenalUSA #MLSAllStar- Not sure how much was by design but Andrew Farrell looked so boss on that header back to goal. 😂 #MLSAllStar
- 51'Attempt blocked. Joel Campbell (Arsenal) left footed shot from outside the box is blocked.
- Wondo comes on. Those not well versed in #MLS may be surprised by how un-terrible he is #MLSAllStar
Standing ovation at @AvayaStadium as Chris Wondolowski comes onto the field for the 1st time in this #MLSAllStar game.- Kendall Waston just took an arcing ball and headed it elegantly back to Bingham, 20 yards away. Genius. #MLSAllStar
Kellyn Acosta has looked very good. #MLSAllStar #arsenal- 50'Corner, MLS All-Stars. Conceded by Petr Cech.

Giovinco has done more than Walcott in 5minutes. #MLSAllStar #Arsenal
I'm afraid Calum Chambers has a whole lotta nothin 😔 #arsenalusa
If Giovinco scores against Arsenal I will probably experience alot of conflicting emotions #Arsenal #MLSAllStar- My dad, the Arsenal diehard, on Giovinco: "He still wear black boots, so I've got to give him credit." #TFC #MLSAllStar
Xhaka lookin' real good tbh. Very confident on the ball. #MLSAllStar- 48'Corner, MLS All-Stars. Conceded by Petr Cech.

No Piatti, no party. #NachoMVP #MLSAllStar
Some good guesses on other Costa Rican to score an #MLSAllStar goal. But it's not Bryan Ruiz, Saborio or Roy Myers. It was an MLS player.
Kyle Beckerman out here out Pirlo-ing Pirlo. #MLSAllStar #RSL
Ideal #MLSAllStar format is Tommy Mac vs Rest of World.
Not a surprise to anyone who has ever watched him, but David Villa is here to play. Making this game fun #NYCFC #MLSAllStar
OX would do better as a striker...Theo would be lucky to play at RB this season! #ArsenalUSA
The Ox is looking really sharp this pre-season. Hopefully he can stay fit! Who needs Mahrez 😉. #Arsenal #MLSAllStar- 20'Offside, Arsenal. Jack Wilshere tries a through ball, but Theo Walcott is caught offside.
- 19'Attempt missed. David Villa (MLS All-Stars) right footed shot from the left side of the box misses to the right. Assisted by Kyle Beckerman.
Theo Walcott and Mathieu Debuchy... How are they still Arsenal players? Seriously, how? #ArsenalUSA
Some really classic Theo moments on show in this game so far. How much more proof that we need a striker can there be?! #ArsenalUSA
Good to see Wilshere back out there #ArsenalUSA- 18'Attempt missed. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal) right footed shot from outside the box is close, but misses to the left. Assisted by Mohamed Elneny.
Only thing worse then Ciman is that fact that he's wearing long sleeves in the middle of July. #MLSAllStar #Arsenal
Laurent Ciman is just a huge hole in this defense. #MLSAllStar
Please never do anything besides running and crossing again @theowalcott #MLSAllStar
Theo should be passing to Campbell who is free there #ArsenalUSA- 16'Corner, MLS All-Stars. Conceded by Kieran Gibbs.
- Theo needs to make the most of being up there in the middle. He has been vocal about wanting it. Do it #arsenalusa
- 16'Attempt saved. Theo Walcott (Arsenal) left footed shot from outside the box is saved in the centre of the goal.
Walcott not a striker...scary to think he might actually start the season up top. #MLSAllStar #COYG
Bad play by Blake and Ciman. Both at fault. This is what I don't like about the ASG: lack of chem makes good players look silly #MLSAllStar
Joel Campbell puts away the Zaza penalty! #MLSAllStar
That run up was ridiculous by Campbell #MLSAllStar
- 13'Corner, Arsenal. Conceded by Kellyn Acosta.
Disappointing to see Joel Campbell not pull something out of his shorts after scoring. #MLSAllStar @MenInBlazers- 12'Mathieu Debuchy (Arsenal) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
- 12'Foul by Didier Drogba (MLS All-Stars).
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL @joel_campbell12 #MLSAllStar
Seriously ref...a yellow card for that in a friendly? Taking this #MLSAllStar a bit too seriously- Substitute and water break right now reminding everyone that this is a friendly #MLSAllStar
Penalty to #afc...Long ball to Campbell, Blake and Ciman can't deal with it and Campbell goes down under Ciman challenge. #MLSAllStar
Another penalty to bottle #ArsenalUSA
That penalty kick call was questionable. Cmon ref #MLSAllStar- 11'0 - 1M#9GOAL: Joel Campbell (PK)
Pirlo's vision is unreal #MLSAllStar- 10'Penalty Arsenal. Joel Campbell draws a foul in the penalty area.
- 10'Penalty conceded by Laurent Ciman (MLS All-Stars) after a foul in the penalty area.
- 10'Offside, MLS All-Stars. Andrea Pirlo tries a through ball, but Didier Drogba is caught offside.
- 10'D#26Laurent Ciman (MLS All-Star Team) is shown the yellow card.
- Our first ex-Chelsea on ex-Chelsea moment, as Petr Cech makes a fine save on Didier Drogba. #MLSAllStar #MLSASG
Relatively unimportant, but when has Arsenal ever been abbreviated as "ASN"?? #MLSAllStar- 9'Foul by Andrea Pirlo (MLS All-Stars).
- 9'Theo Walcott (Arsenal) wins a free kick in the defensive half.
As far All Star games go, this #MLSAllStar format seems to work. European team uses it as a tune up. Young MLS stars gain from experience- Rob Holding gets his first real defensive touch. Solid, assured. Granted, kicked right at him, but still. #ArsenalUSA
- 30 minutes in, and our experts all agrees: #MLSAllStar is fun. Still on Trapp Watch. #CrewSC
Even if it's just an exhibition it's always cool to watch the #MLSAllStar game as the best players in MLS play against a European club
I feel like it's tough to look horrible against MLS players but Theo is. #ArsenalUSA
I'm literally only watching this because of Pirlo but he's not playing very well #MLSAllStar- 9'David Villa (MLS All-Stars) wins a free kick on the left wing.
- 9'Foul by Mathieu Debuchy (Arsenal).
- Tucked away. Campbell sneaks one past Andre Blake to put @Arsenal in front. #MLSAllStar https://t.co/sOfN1SidJo
Walcott on corners and freekicks?! Is Walcott doing his best Harry Kane impression? #ArsenalUSA- 8'Attempt saved. Giovani dos Santos (MLS All-Stars) right footed shot from the right side of the box is saved in the centre of the goal. Assisted by Andrea Pirlo.
I just remembered why i love Joel Campbell. Please don't sell him Arsene #arsenalusa
Taylor Twellman complaining about Penso not giving Coquelin a yellow yet in the #MLSAllStar game is the most Taylor Twellman thing ever.
The @MLS rule on missing ASG is well intentioned, but missing the game prior should count too. Good point @TaylorTwellman #MLSAllStar
Calling it: Coquellin red card coming. #MLSAllStar
>No one's told Coquelin this is a friendly #MLSAllStar- 7'Attempt missed. David Villa (MLS All-Stars) right footed shot from outside the box misses to the left.
- 7'Attempt blocked. David Villa (MLS All-Stars) right footed shot from the left side of the box is blocked. Assisted by Kaká.
Coquelin, bruh, chill man -- no need for harsh tackles in this match... #MLSAllStar #Arsenal
Looks like MLS will be making their first subs #MLSAllStar
Holding looking really composed for us in this game, looks like a great prospect. #ArsenalUSA #Arsenal #gooner
Bad start but still quality players on the bench for the #MLSAllStar team.
I would adore a Drogba goal against Arsenal. Nice little throwback for him #MLSAllStar
Kellyn Acosta is wearing number 95, the year he was born. Sorry for making you feel old. #MLSAllStar
Free kick in a dangerous position for Arsenal. But Andre Blake is in goal for #MLSAllStar so who cares.
Kaka slipped and remind us all that Gerrard did not make the #MLSAllStar team.
Commentator just called Arsenal "Kings of Consistency"... Yeah a consistency of not winning trophies #MLSAllStar
That move by Kaka was symbolic of Brazil the last 2 years... #MLSAllStar
MLS best players so far: Blake, Acosta, and that tasty Pirlo/Beckerman Pairing. Joel Campbell has been a nuisance from Arsenal. #MLSAllStar- 6'Attempt saved. Theo Walcott (Arsenal) right footed shot from outside the box is saved in the bottom right corner.
I like Elneny bc he seems to be the only one who shoots from outside the box. #MLSAllStar #arsenal
If at first you don't succeed, try, then try, then try again... #Drogba #MLSAllstar- #MLSAllStar has started to turn into a game. No doubting the technical quality of the front four, but they're exposed at the back
Drogba gets his wish and scores on Cech, but it's probably not quite how he imagined it in his head. #MLSAllStar- 5'Foul by Giovani dos Santos (MLS All-Stars).
- 5'Joel Campbell (Arsenal) wins a free kick in the attacking half.
Does ESPN not have permission to use "ARS" for the scoreboard in this match? "ASN" looks awkward. #MLSAllStar
I'm hoping Mauro is sitting on bench next to Clint like "hey bro, a DP spot just opened on our team... in Texas" #MLSAllStar
Just pass the ball to Drogba... #MLSAllStar
If Kaka got hurt Don can invoke Article 50 and Brexit the #MLSAllStar

too bad won't get to see Giovinco/Pirlo play together - think both would've really enjoyed it #TFC #MLSAllStar- 5'Corner, Arsenal. Conceded by Laurent Ciman.
It's sad oxlade-chamberlain doesn't get more playing time at Arsenal. He's a stud. ⚽️ #MLSAllStar #arsenal- Coquelin back on the field, thankfully. #ArsenalUSA struggled last year when he was out.
All star play there, tripping over the ball... #MLSAllStar
Rip kaka #MLSAllStar
A little Showtime play by Pirlo nearly cost MLS a goal. #MLSAllStar- 45' the fourth official on the side has indicated a minimum of two minutes of stoppage time. #MLSAllStar
Kaka had a good run....#MLSAllStar
I hoped that Theo spent all summer working on his touch and finishing. So far, no good. 🙄 #MLSAllStar #Arsenal
It should rather be Campbell upfront #ArsenalUSA
Walcott would not make the #MLSAllStar team.
- Another crowd note: it's been hot as hell in San Jose the last few days and the atmosphere is now dead after a manic start #MLSAllStar
- For Arsenal fans worried about the CBs facing Drogba, don't be. They practice with Giroud, a world-class striker #MLSAllStar
*looks around* *whispers* come on you gunners... #IMFC #MLSAllStar
- 3'Attempt missed. Theo Walcott (Arsenal) right footed shot from the centre of the box is close, but misses to the right. Assisted by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Pirlo and Beckermann are gonna have problems with Wilshere IMO. #MLSAllStar- Also ready. #MLSAllStar https://t.co/GpvtqfRRXU
Looking at our defence. This should be fun. For Drogba and Villa that is. #MLSAllStar- Walcott at CF. Increasing MLS's chances of winning. #MLSAllStar
Looking forward to watching Walcott chase his touch across California #MLSAllStar- Let's just hope for a nice fun and clean game. Don't want either team getting injuries. #MLSAllStar

Not quite as nice as the blue of #NYCFC but hoping for a win for these guys tonight! #MLSAllStar https://t.co/2jxHn6t0Je
Good luck to Giovinco in the All star game tonight. Looking forward to watching him twist up a couple of Arsenal defenders 😝 #MLSAllStar
