MLS Players Who Have Scored in a World Cup Game

There are currently eight active players in MLS who have scored in a World Cup match. The league will add to that list next year when David Villa and Kaká join with expansion clubs New York City and Orlando. Frank Lampard will join the league next year as well, but his goal against Germany didn't count thanks to some quality officiating. Here's a rundown of the goal scorers and some of their goals.
