No, you’re right. It’s just REALLY rare.



Sullivan's case is a little different too, considering Dowman has been in the Arsenal academy since 2015.

Neil Pierre and a few other youngsters also expected to be called up.

Glad Poch is doing this. All of them are likely to factor into the next World Cup.

Well shite. I bought tickets for me and my son to go watch Sullivan in KC on Saturday. Good for him though.

In the 8 games since the World Cup ended Cavan has scored five and assisted five. The only player in MLS to match those numbers over that time frame is Lionel Messi.

Cavan played his arse off Saturday night. Glad we got to see him in person. André Luiz was fun as hell to watch too. Didn’t expect to see 7 goals. It was a wild night for sure.

When can he really make the city first squad?
A loan in Europe next season?

He can’t go to England until at least 18. If he went to Europe now it’s probably some Manchester city loaner team in France or Belgium.

The NYT did a great article on Sullivan and his unique upbringing. Hit reader view before the sign in thing pops up to read it without a subscription.

Why? Pulisic was over there at 16 for Dortmund.

Pulisic had a Croatian passport and Germany has different rules than England. Essentially, Post-brexit you now have to be 18 to play in England if non-domestic.

Yes since he has a German passport can play in EU countries.

16 for euro zone countries with a European passport

Younger if your parents move there for work

18 for the UK unless you’re a homegrown
