The Americans have five soccer players born abroad in their team: Briton Anthony Robinson, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Giovanni Reyna, as well as Dutchman Serginho Dest and Colombian Jesús Ferreira.

Ecuador, for its part, includes the Argentine Hernan Galendez and the Spanish Jeremy Sarmiento, while Uruguay includes its goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, who was born in Buenos Aires.

Another 22 of the 32 teams that will play in the World Cup also have at least one football player who was not born on their soil.
