Here's an attempt to clean up on a few. 13 I believe is Seattle Sounders bound Freddie Ljungberg 18 is definitely Eric Wynalda. 22 is Landon Donovan where a goal scored against a Denmark side was protested by the Danish federation and then adjudged by FIFA to be against a B Denmark side, thus not a full International. They were quite jet lagged IMHO too. 24 should be Chivas USA in regards to Jonathan Bornstein somewhere on trial in Israel. 25 is definitely in Iraq. Nice work Laurie!
