3 MLS players to watch in the 2024 MLS All-Star Game
- The 2024 MLS All-Star game takes place at Lower.com Field on July 24
- Last year's MVP and Golden Boot winner lead the attack for the MLS All-Stars
- Inter Miami's No. 9 will look to get on the end of crosses to help the MLS All-Stars win
The MLS All-Stars are blessed with several quality attacking options to help them in their bid to take down the Liga MX All-Stars next Wednesday.
Last summer's MLS All-Star Game didn't exactly go to plan, as Arsenal hammered the MLS All-Stars 5-0 at Audi Field in the United States capitol. This summer, the MLS All-Stars aren't taking on a side as talented as the Gunners, but they still face a stiff challenge in taking down the best from Liga MX -- especially without Lionel Messi.
Thankfully for MLS, their All-Stars aren't short of any talent in the middle of the park and up front as they hope to avenge their 2-1 defeat to the Liga MX All-Stars from two years ago.
Here three MLS All-Stars to watch out for in the 2024 MLS All-Star Game.
1. Denis Bouanga - LAFC
If there's one player that's going to cause problems for the Liga MX All-Stars' defense, it's LAFC's Denis Bouanga. The reigning Golden Boot winner is very much in the prime of his career and will look to carry over his MLS goalscoring form into the All-Star Game.
2. Luciano Acosta - FC Cincinnati
The current league MVP Luciano 'Lucho' Acosta is in fine form this season and could very well take home the coveted individual award for a second season in a row. The MLS-All Stars will no doubt rely on the former DC United figure to create chances and get in on the goals as an attacking midfielder.
3. Luis Suarez - Inter Miami
Inter Miami's Luis Suarez looks set to lead the line for the MLS All-Stars after his Copa America run with Uruguay. El Pistolero should have plenty of service coming into the box with the likes of Bouanga and Acosta teeing him up to finish chances.
