da doce： GOAL ranks the top players from Major League Soccer rosters featuring at Copa America 2024
da luck： Copa America 2024 will be a historic tournament for Major League Soccer, with league players featuring for 11 of the 16 national teams competing. A record 41 players will represent MLS this summer at the competition across the United States – the same number as those from the English Premier League.
Canada leads the way with 14 players from MLS rosters, while 21 of the league's 29 teams are represented. Which players lead the pack?
From Lionel Messi and Argentina to Luis Suarez and Uruguay, GOAL ranks the top-10 MLS players competing in Copa America 2024.
10Miguel Araujo | Peru
The Portland Timbers central defender started both of Peru's pre-Copa America friendlies and is expected to play a big role for the country this summer.
Locking down their defense, the 29-year-old will look to leave a lasting impact on the squad this summer after a breakout 2024 season under Phil Neville.

OK, so this actually makes 11 names on this list, but one of these two will feature. It's unknown who Jesse Marsch will roll out in net for Canada at Copa America this summer, but both St. Clair from Minnesota United and Crepeau from the Portland Timbers will be vying for the starting role.
Crepeau helped the CMNT to a 0-0 draw vs France ahead of the tournament, while St. Clair fell victim to a 4-0 thumping at the hands of Uruguay.
Regardless of who starts in goal, both are solid options, and incredibly talented goalkeepers.

The third-string central defender for the USMNT, Robinson plays at the club level for FC Cincinnati. He joined the reigning MLS Supporters' Shield champions in the offseason on a one-year deal after a stint with Atlanta United.
Robinson will be an important figure if the USMNT opt to roll out a three-defender formation, or if either of Tim Ream or Chris Richards don't' find themselves in Gregg Berhalter's starting XI.
FEDERICO PARRA7Josef Martinez | Venezuela
One of the greatest goalscorers MLS has ever seen, Martinez has not had the hottest season so far, but on his best day, he's a menace in front of net.
There's no assurance that he will start for Venezuela at Copa America, but he will be an impact player regardless of his role from the start of the whistle.
Martinez has 14 career goals in 66 international appearances, but is a shoe-in for one if given the opportunity in front of goal.
