Major League Soccer All-Star and Houston Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear named his six additional picks to make up the 2009 MLS All-Star squad that will take on Everton FC of the English Premier League July 29 at Rio Tinto Stadium.

Along with the First XI players that were selected by voting from fans, coaches, media and players, it was announced last week that Real Salt Lake's Javier Morales and Kyle Beckerman were selections for the clash by MLS commissioner Don Garber. Kinnear completed the team on Monday naming three of his own Dynamo players: Pat Onstad, Brad Davis and Brian Ching, two Seattle Sounders: Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and Freddy Montero, and Kansas City Wizard Davy Arnaud. Montero was named as the replacement for reigning league MVP Guillermo Barros Schelloto, who has been ruled out due to injury.

With the additions, Houston will be the most well represented club with five players. First-year team Seattle will have four on the roster while Real and the Chicago Fire each have two. The Colorado Rapids, Columbus Crew, Kansas City Wizards, Los Angeles Galaxy and New England Revolution all have one player on the squad.
