Adalberto Carrasquilla

Panama''s midfield engine and an MLS favorite, ''Coco'' Carrasquilla pulls the strings for his country from his base with the Houston Dynamo. He dictates tempo, passes sharply and gives a plucky Panama side its creative spark — and American fans already know him from MLS. For U.S. fans, he is the homegrown-league playmaker leading an underdog — the familiar floor general running the offense.
