Going by the squad lists at www.planetworldcup.com, this is the list I came up with. Feel free to correct this. Chicago: 1998-none 2002-DaMarcus Beasley, Josh Wolff Colorado: 1998-Marcelo Balboa 2002-Pablo Mastroeni Columbus: 1998-Thomas Dooley, Brian Maisonneuve, Brian McBride, Jurgen Sommer 2002-Brian McBride Dallas: 1998-none 2002-none D.C.: 1998-Jeff Agoos, Eddie Pope, Roy Wegerle 2002-Eddie Pope Kansas City: 1998-Preki 2002-Tony Meola Los Angeles: 1998-Christopher Dawes (Jamaica), Cobi Jones 2002-Cobi Jones Metrostars: 1998-Alexi Lalas, Tab Ramos 2002-Clint Mathis Miami: 1998-Carlos Valderrama (Colombia) 2002-none New England: 1998-Mike Burns, Joe-Max Moore 2002-Carlos Llamosa San Jose: 1998-Eric Wynalda 2002-Jeff Agoos, Landon Donovan Tampa Bay: 1998-Frankie Hejduk 2002-none
In 98, Columbus had Andy Williams playing for Jamaica too. Yes half our lineup was at the WC and we still couldn't make MLS cup.

Also included the 2002 news article above. I don't believe there were any foreign World Cup players in 2002.
