David Beckham may have led the Los Angeles Galaxy to the MLS championship game but he has been left off the league s all-star squad.
While Galaxy midfielder Landon Donovan and Swedish star Freddie Ljunberg made the squad there was no room for Beckham.
Beckham s Galaxy will face Real Salt Lake in the 2009 MLS Cup game in Seattle on Sunday.
Donovan and Ljunberg were two of the five midfielders on the 11-man all-star team which also comprised one goalkeeper, three defenders and two forwards.
Chivas USA s Zach Thornton was picked as a goalkeeper while the defence featured Columbus Crew centre back Chad Marshall, Houston Dynamo s Geoff Cameron and the Chicago Fire s Wilman Conde.
The league s top two goal-scorers from the regular season, FC Dallas striker Jeff Cunningham and Colorado Rapids forward Conor Casey earned the forward honours.
