Country: Ecuador

Had Peru qualified for the World Cup, then Orlando would actually have a handful of players ready to make the trip to the sport's biggest tournament. However, without Pedro Gallese and Wilder Cartagena, I have to stretch.

In comes former Orlando City midfielder Sebas Mendez. Mendez was traded to LAFC earlier this year, but he spent several years in Orlando, so we can still give him some love. He's been a mainstay in Ecuador's squad for a few seasons and should finally get a chance to represent his nation at the World Cup.
