Also selected to the team were midfielders Sacha Kljestan of Chivas USA, Cuauhtemoc Blanco of the Chicago Fire and Robbie Rogers of Columbus, defenders Jimmy Conrad of the Kansas City Wizards and Frankie Hejduk of the Columbus Crew, and forward Kenny Cooper of FC Dallas.

The league-leading New England Revolution claimed three of the 11 early roster spots for the game -- defender Michael Parkhurst, midfielder Shalrie Joseph and goalkeeper Matt Reis.
