The Major League Soccer All-Time Best XI was selected In 2005 as part of the league's tenth anniversary celebrations.
Major League Soccer, the top soccer league in the United States, named its All-Time Best XI, a selection of the best eleven players in the history of the league.
The winners were chosen by a combination of voting that included online voting on the league's official website, media votes, and MLS coaches and general managers.
The All-Time Best XI team was chosen from a pool of 78 players who were previous "Best XI" yearly selections or who were named to at least three All-Star Games since the inaugural season in 1996.
Nine of the eleven players selected played with the league in the 1996 inaugural season; only Nowak (joined 1998) and Donovan (joined 2001) did not.
