From our calculations there are nine spots up for grabs, given a few assumptions. The guys pictured here are only a few of the possibilities. (We came up with nearly 30 of them–and we probably forgot some). Who deserves a spot on the U.S. Men’s National Team’s 2010 World Cup roster?

MLS fans have been keeping abreast of every development and sit on pins and needles hoping the league does not suffer the same fate as its various predecessors.
