From his own team come goalkeeper and goals against average leader Pat Onstad, midfielder and league assist leader Brad Davis, and striker and five-time All-Star Brian Ching.
Joining Kasey Keller and Freddie Ljungberg from expansion side Seattle will be Colombian pair Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and Fredy Montero. Montero will replace the injured Guillermo Barros Schelotto in the 18-man roster.
