Sullivan Shines in U.S. Debut

Sullivan, who has seven goals and nine assists in his last nine games, earned his place through consistent performances. Coach Mauricio Pochettino may give him more minutes against Chile on Tuesday, though the teen is expected to sit out some rivalry games against Mexico and Canada.
