As we move through December, there’s still plenty of soccer news to discuss, and we start this show with a discussion of Chris Mueller’s outstanding USMNT debut against El Salvador last week. Cash showed he belonged in the discussion to be in the player pool and that his first big moment wasn’t too big for him. We also discuss the MLS Expansion Draft and Orlando City losing defender Kamal Miller, who then got swapped to Montreal for a bunch of Garber Bucks and a first-round draft pick.
The Concacaf Champions League is back underway and now it’s at Exploria Stadium, so we talked about the first two quarterfinal matches that took place Tuesday night, Homegrown goalkeeper Mason Stajduhar’s short loan spell with New York City FC, and NYFC’s new habit of getting knocked out of competitions while in the city of Orlando.
