The next men’s World Cup may not be for another four years, but 16-year-old prodigy Cavan Sullivan is not wasting any time staking his claim for a roster spot on the U.S. men’s national team. In fact, he may very well be the face of the Stars and Stripes come 2030.
The Philadelphia Union winger has turned up the heat in the second half of the season, most recently stunning in Sunday’s Leagues Cup match against Liga MX’s Necaxa. It took him all of three minutes to become the difference maker, pulling a double scissors move on left back Francisco Méndez before dishing a pass to Nathan Harriel for Philadelphia’s opening goal.
