How many clubs in the world experience fan protests ... during preseason? AS Roma, for one.
The Giallorossi are already under plenty of pressure a full month before the start of the new Serie A campaign on August 25 — a direct result of a sixth-place league finish and an Italian Cup final loss to archrivals Lazio.
Although the club has just three league titles to its name, with the last one coming in 2000-01, AS Roma's massive fan base continues to set expectations sky high. And Wednesday night's AT&T MLS All-Star Game (9 pm ET on ESPN2, TSN/RDS, UniMas) is seen as a chance for the team to change the narrative ahead of the upcoming season.
