The MLS All-Star game entertained plenty, but that may no longer be enough

The MLS All-Star game recently took place, pitting a team of MLS stars against their counterparts from Mexico's Liga MX. The game was won by MLS 3-1, with impressive displays of skill and speed from players like LAFC's Denis Bouanga and the Philadelphia Union's Tai Baribo.

The game provided entertainment, but the league may need to consider whether that is enough to justify the showcase.
