Capped Wizards

Another statistical entry from me today. I don't really remember where I got this idea from, but it's one that I liked so I thought I'd research it.

With the Gold Cup starting, Eddie Johnson will have the chance to add more caps to his resume. When the roster came out, I started to wonder what Wizards player has the most caps for his national team. So I began to look around seeing what info I could find. Using US Soccer.com I was able to get pretty much every single US player that has played a game for the US. It was then a matter of searching for other federations and wikipedia pages to find the information on Wizards who had represented countries other then the US. Through my research, I found that Wizards players have represented 14 different countries. While I was not always able to get exact numbers, or some times even numbers at all, all these current and former Wizards have represented their national team.

USA
Tony Meola - 100 Caps
Alexi Lalas - 96 caps, 9 goals
Chris Henderson - 79 caps, 3 goals
Mike Burns - 75 caps
Peter Vermes - 67 caps, 11 goals
