Schelloto is unable to play, so an extra choice was given to Kinnear for the 18 man roster. Due to other games, DC, Toronto, and New York did not have any players selected. An additional 14 players will be announced next week, for bonus reasons. The game is next Wednesday the 29th against English club Everton FC.

What about FC Dallas or San Jose? Why no players from them? Yeah the teams suck but they still have really good players. Its bull that the Houston coach added 3 more Dynamo players.

Agreed, but the decision to add Montero and Hurtado was brilliant...
