Today, during the year-end State of the League, Commissioner Don Garber unveiled the 2014 MLS Best XI, recognizing the League’s top 11 players at each position on the field (watch video). This dynamic group of athletes represents some of the very best soccer players in North America, including legends Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy), Thierry Henry (New York Red Bulls) and Robbie Keane (LA Galaxy), young American talents such as goalkeeper Bill Hamid (D.C. United) and defender Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy); and League veterans Chad Marshall (Seattle Sounders FC) and Bobby Boswell (D.C. United).
The MLS Best XI is rounded out by first-timer and finalist for the 2014 Volkswagen MVP, Lee Nguyen (New England Revolution) and a contingent of international stars that have made a world of difference for their respective teams – New York Red Bulls forward Bradley Wright-Phillips, who tied the all-time regular season goals scored record (27), the 2013 Newcomer of the Year, Diego Valeri of the Portland Timbers, and Seattle Sounders FC leading marksman, Obafemi Martins.
