Call-ups for Sept. 2 and 6 FIFA dates: 53 total players representing 17 different countries from 17 MLS clubs.
The vast majority of players called are from CONCACAF teams, some playing friendlies and some just starting the qualification process for the 2014 World Cup. There are also MLS players heading across the Atlantic to represent four different African squads, and the LA Galaxy’s Robbie Keane heading to Ireland to captain the Boys in Green in Euro 2012 qualifying.
RBNY will lose the most with six players leaving for the international dates, while San Jose were the only club not to see anyone from their squad called in.
In what shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, the US called up the most MLS players — 11 in total — followed by Canada and Jamaica with seven. Of the non-CONCACAF contingent, Gambia lead the way with three MLSers called in, including Vancouver Whitecaps Designated Player Mustapha Jarju.
