Sullivan Stars in USMNT Debut

Cavan Sullivan marked his 17th birthday by making history as the second-youngest starter in the US men's national team's 113-year history. The Philadelphia Union prodigy played confidently for 62 minutes in the 4-1 friendly victory, continuing his remarkable form that has seen him score 7 goals and provide 9 assists in his last 9 games. tbzikra.com

Just the fourth 16-year-old to represent the Stars and Stripes and the first in over 20 years, Sullivan earned his place through consistent performances. Coach Mauricio Pochettino may give him more minutes against Chile on Tuesday, with Tyler Adams calling the youngster a "special player" after his mature display against the Peruvians.
