Hah. I would think they *would* care, but maybe the refs were betting on the game. Or something.

It was something the commentators kept referencing during the game. Celtic 'always plays to win' friendly game or not.
Stevie Nicol was just blowing smoke. Even though the league owns the contract, he'd love to raise Shalrie Joseph's price tag in Europe and possibly draw a big name to the Revs. We're one of the few teams with out a big name, big pay check signing this year.
Watch what happens when Celtic play The Fire, and Chelsea toys with the Galaxy. I'm pretty sure an EPL All Star team would kick the MLS All Stars collective asses quite easily. The MLS has gotten better over the years, but it's not there yet. The referees they use certainly aren't at that level yet.
