Sure, up until this year, the MLS has been instrumental in the USA qualifying for every World Cup Final tournament since the MLS started up, but how many players have been developed through MLS club academies and have gone on to achieve success in European leagues? In the past 21 years the MLS has not exactly proven to be a fertile breeding ground for players that have drawing power. To follow-up on Matty's list, the following list provides the names of all current MLS players who have competed in World Cup Finals since 2002: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_Major_League_Soccer_players_with_national_team_caps#Albania Current MLS Players to play in a World Cup[edit] 2002 FIFA World Cup[edit] Ashley Cole DaMarcus Beasley 2006 FIFA World Cup[edit] Christian Bolaños Ashley Cole Bastian Schweinsteiger David Villa Philippe Senderos Kenwyne Jones DaMarcus Beasley Clint Dempsey Tim Howard Oguchi Onyewu 2010 FIFA World Cup[edit] Carlos Carmona Ashley Cole Bastian Schweinsteiger Jonathan Mensah Víctor Bernárdez Roger Espinoza Maynor Figueroa Boniek García Giovani dos Santos David Villa Philippe Senderos Jozy Altidore DaMarcus Beasley Michael Bradley Ricardo Clark Clint Dempsey Maurice Edu Benny Feilhaber Tim Howard Oguchi Onyewu Nicolás Lodeiro 2014 FIFA World Cup[edit] Haris Medunjanin Carlos Carmona Christian Bolaños Waylon Francis Roy Miller Marco Ureña Carlos Gruezo Bastian Schweinsteiger Harrison Afful Jonathan Mensah Víctor Bernárdez Roger Espinoza Maynor Figueroa Boniek García Giovani dos Santos David Villa Blerim Džemaili Philippe Senderos Jozy Altidore DaMarcus Beasley Alejandro Bedoya Matt Besler Kyle Beckerman Michael Bradley Clint Dempsey Tim Howard Jermaine Jones Chris Wondolowski Graham Zusi Nicolás Lodeiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
