Orlando City fans have been anticipating Chris Mueller’s U.S. Men’s National Team call-up for months.
The buzz began with Mueller’s scintillating showing at the MLS is Back Tournament in July, when the 24 year-old scored three goals in two games against Inter Miami and NYCFC. It continued throughout the regular season, as Mueller ripped apart team after team to wrap up the year with 10 G/7 A in just 22 appearances.
In late November, the news finally came – Mueller, along with teammates Daryl Dike and Andrés Perea, was headed to USMNT camp, with a friendly to be played on December 9 against El Salvador.
