No Ghanaian player made in the 2015 MLS Best XI announced on Sunday by Major League Soccer.

Not even the exploits of Harrison Afful and goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey whose clubs have reached the MLS Cup final were considered.

As many as seven Ghanaian players play in the MLS.

MLS players, club executives and media members voted one goalkeeper, three defenders, four midfielders and three forwards to the Best XI (the third consecutive season voting has resulted in a 3-4-3 formation).

The only holdover is LA Galaxy forward Robbie Keane, who made the annual Best XI for the fourth straight year.

FC Dallas, the New York Red Bulls and Columbus Crew SC were each represented by two players on the squad.

Goalkeeper: Luis Robles

Defenders: Laurent Ciman; Matt Hedges; Kendall Waston

Midfielders: Ethan Finlay; Dax McCarty; Benny Feilhaber; Fabian Castillo

Forwards: Sebastian Giovinco; Kei Kamara; Robbie Keane
