Cavan goes from not ranked (!!!) last season to unquestionably on top of the 22 Under 22 list. The rise we’ve seen in his star post-World Cup break is unparalleled. (But it was always an injustice he wasn’t on the 2025 list) share.inquirer.com/g8829h

Union have more players than any other team on MLS’s 22 Under 22 list. Cavan Sullivan isn’t one of them.

The younger Sullivan, who already has a future transfer deal in place with Manchester City, appeared in just 10 matches for the Union this season.

I know it will shock you that Cavan Sullivan is No. 1 in 22 Under 22, with Julian Hall and Adri Mehmeti at Nos. 2 and 3. It might surprise you that Neil Pierre is No. 7 and Peyton Miller is No. 6.

The goal was why Cavan Sullivan called the night "the best feeling I’ve ever experienced." But his defensive pressing all game was why Mauricio Pochettino called him "a fighter” and “a warrior." The 17-year-old from Philadelphia was front and center again: www.inquirer.com/soccer/cavan... #USMNT

Cavan Sullivan’s stunning first USMNT goal was part of an incredible game against Mexico

Sullivan called scoring his 35-yard chip "the best feeling I’ve ever experienced." He also was great at defensive pressing, which led Mauricio Pochettino to say "he’s a fighter, he’s a warrior."

The kids from Northeast Philly got in a brawl with Messi's team, after outplaying Miami for most of the evening. Now the Union are on a five-game unbeaten run in league play. All must be good, right? No, it isn't. A few words on the 13th-place team in the Eastern Conference:

The Union are fighting toward being a better team, but they’re not there yet

Despite a five-game unbeaten run, the team is still in 13th place in the East. The fact that a 5-10-5 record gets you within four points of a playoff spot only means MLS is too generous.

Nothing like the excitement of the Leagues Cup for my final go round (for now) at Subaru Park! I’ll be taking a new job soon that I’m very excited about, but for tonight, let’s see what the Union can muster against Santos Laguna. Kick at 7 p.m., gamer and analysis to follow.

"If the Union aren’t going to advance or hoist a trophy from their Leagues Cup run, what can they bring back with them into the MLS schedule?" A few important things, @oyounothing.bsky.social says: www.inquirer.com/soccer/knock... via @phillysport.bsky.social

The Union are likely to miss the Leagues Cup knockout stage. What did these matches reveal?

If the Union are eliminated by Thursday’s match against Santos Laguna, Ryan Richter could use that as an opportunity to dig into his expanded 30-man Leagues Cup roster and rest some key players.
