The three U.S. Soccer icons will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in a ceremony which will be announced at a later date.

Former U.S national team goalkeeper Kasey Keller, current Seattle Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid, and former national team player and assistant Glenn "Mooch" Myernick have been elected to the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Keller, one of the greatest goalkeepers in U.S. history, was elected on the first ballot. He participated in four World Cups (1990, 1998, 2002 and 2006), and is the USA's all-time leader in shutouts with 47. He was capped 102 times by the national team between 1990 and 2007.

The 45-year-old was a U.S. soccer pioneer, becoming first American goalkeeper to be a regular in the Bundesliga, the English Premier League and La Liga.

"It's a great honor," Keller said in a release. "You look at some of the guys that have been elected before; it's not an easy process. It's not like it's an open-door policy. It's cool to be voted in. It's kind of a culmination of what you've done and how you got there and all the people that helped you get to get to that point, so I'm thankful for that."

Schmid was elected on the Builder Ballot after 35 years of coaching soccer in the United States. He won three NCAA championships during his time coaching UCLA, then translated his success to the pro level, winning MLS Cups with the LA Galaxy and Columbus Crew, before taking his current position with Seattle. He was also an assistant on the 1994 U.S. World Cup team and coached the U-20 team at two FIFA World Youth Championships.

"I would like to thank U.S. Soccer for this incredible honor, as this is certainly right up there with the top moments I've experienced in this sport," Schmid said. "I am honored to be inducted alongside Kasey Keller, who is a Seattle soccer icon."

Myernick, who passed away in 2006 at the age of 51, enters the Hall of Fame on the Veteran Ballot. He served as an assistant coach for the USA at the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, captained the national team as a player, and also served as head coach of the Colorado Rapids between 1997 and 2000.
