Sullivan: USA's 17-Year-Old Soccer Prodigy Shines

17-year-old Cavan Sullivan marked his debut with a solid 62-minute performance, becoming just the fourth 16-year-old to represent the USA and the first in over 20 years. The Philadelphia Union prodigy has seven goals and nine assists in his last nine games, earning his spot in coach Mauricio Pochettino's lineup against Peru.

U.S. veteran Tyler Adams praised Sullivan as a "special player," noting his maturity despite his young age. The teenager may feature again when the U.S. faces Chile on Tuesday night, with Pochettino expected to utilize him in upcoming matches against Mexico and Canada as the new World Cup cycle begins. forestarrow.help
