MLS Players with 100 Club Appearances in Europe

This is a chart of current MLS players that have made at least 100 appearances for a single club in Europe. David Beckham, Raphael Wicky, and Claudio Lopez have all made 100 appearances for two different clubs in Europe.

I was somewhat surprised to see that players like Abel Xavier and Claudio Reyna didn't make the list, but they never stuck around a single club for very long, or maybe in Reyna's case, he was injured too often.

Quite a few of the players in the chart played for many other European clubs as well.
