MLS today released the final names on the 32-man All-Star roster.

The seven inactive players will receive an All-Star bonus but won't participate in the match on July 28 against Manchester United.

Three Seattle Sounders FC players made the list but, because of CONCACAF Champions League duties, were ineligible for the active roster from the start.

Votes from fans, players, coaches, general managers, and media fueled the inactive players list.

2010 MLS INACTIVE ALL-STARS:

GK Jimmy Nielsen (Kansas City Wizards)
GK Kasey Keller (Seattle Sounders FC)
MF Joel Lindpere (New York Red Bulls)
MF Robbie Rogers (Columbus Crew)
MF Freddie Ljungberg (Seattle Sounders FC)
FWD Fredy Montero (Seattle Sounders FC)
FWD Conor Casey (Colorado Rapids)
