Two-time Major League Soccer Most Valuable Player Preki and Thomas Dooley were elected Thursday to the America's football Hall of Fame. Dooley and Preki were both on the 1998 US World Cup team, and the two started back-to-back MLS All-Star games in 1998-99.
Dooley, the 1993 US footballer of the year, is just one of five players in the modern era to start every game in consecutive World Cups for the USA - in 1994 and 1998.
The German-born star began his professional career in his home country, and finished with seven goals in 81 international appearances for America.
