Technically speaking, with two new teams, there are (at minimum) 44 new 
MLS player spots over last year.  If you add 2 Internations per team, 
you're eliminating 20 spots from the original teams.  But you're adding 
26 US-citizen/green-card spots on the new teams.

Sounds like MLS has room for 6 more Americans than last year.
