The summer international break is here, with countless warm-up games ahead of the main events: Copa América and the European Championships.

MLS will continue to play through those two continent-wide tournaments but the top flight of US soccer has at least stopped for two weeks at the start of June. Over this period more than 100 MLS players will be on international duty with their countries, whether in age-group competition or representing the senior team.

Of those internationals, 28 of them will be pulling on the Stars and Stripes over the coming weeks. Four of those MLS stars are in the senior USMNT roster for pre-tournament friendlies: Sean Johnson (Toronto FC), Miles Robinson (FC Cincinnati), Shaq Moore (Nashville SC), Timothy Tillman (LAFC).
