Mueller, Arriola prove Berhalter's USMNT options run deep ahead of loaded 2021

As 2020 nears its end, one would think that United States men's national team manager Gregg Berhalter could rest easy a bit.

In the last game of the year, his U.S. side cruised to a 6-0 win over El Salvador, this coming off a 6-2 win over Panama last month. On Wednesday night, he was able to blood in another five players, making it a total of 34 debuts in his first 22 games in charge.

One of those debutantes, Chris Mueller, became the second U.S. player in two weeks to score twice on his debut and added two assists.
