Union announces 2010 schedule

Mauricio Pochettino said he was 'so happy' with the 16-year-old's game, while teammates praised Sullivan's maturity and hard work.

The club set a record on Saturday for the longest unbeaten streak in franchise history, even with five starters away from the team because of international duty. Now, a break in league play awaits.

Taking the field two days before his 17th birthday, Sullivan became the fourth-youngest player in team history. Union teammates Neil Pierre and Frankie Westfield also made their senior U.S. debuts.

“I think he’s doing really well in Philadelphia, and that is why he is here," Pochettino said of the 16-year-old Union phenom. "He’s mature enough on the field to be there and to compete.”

The team could set a franchise record at 12 straight games unbeaten in Major League Soccer play with a win or tie against Orlando City at home this weekend.

The same neighborhood that shaped Sullivan is what powered Philadelphia soccer for generations. He’s only 16 and he could be the face of a sport. But his emergence was generations in the making.

"I still think of myself as the young kid from Philadelphia, but now these guys are," Trusty said of Sullivan, Pierre, and Frankie Westfield. "The way they look at me, they all know my history."

The club, currently on an 11-game MLS unbeaten run, has a chance to set a franchise record this week. But it'll do so with many of its key starters absent due to FIFA's international window.

From Red October's return to the Birds to "King James" becoming a Sixer and more, there's no shortage of exciting moments coming to Philly and its sports teams.

Yes, he’s an amazing talent, and has marketing deals better than players twice his age. But that alone — never mind the hype — wouldn’t have seen Sullivan score six goals in the last six Union games.

It’s understandable that Cavan Sullivan gets the most hype of the trio of young Union stars on Mauricio Pochettino's latest roster. But Pierre's turn is on the way, and he has earned the right to it.

The club has now tied an 11-game unbeaten streak. But it didn't come easy against a Sporting Kansas City team, which tested the Union's resilience more than it arguably has been this season.

A trio of Union players — Cavan Sullivan, Frankie Westfield, and Neil Pierre, who are all 20 years old and younger — were called up to the U.S. men's national team on Thursday.

"He deserves all the praise that he’s getting,” manager Mauricio Pochettino said of the 16-year-old phenom. And he saluted having "plenty of players from Philadelphia" on his latest squad.

Richter is the latest native son to lead a Union team looking to prove the first half of their season was a fluke. Coincidentally, their Bucks County-based coach once had to do the same thing.

Macario hasn't played since joining the San Diego Wave in March. Now she joins the list of major U.S. names who are out of the big game against World Cup champion Spain in Chester next month.

His brace in the club's 5-0 rout of San Diego was his fifth goal in as many games. Next up, a trip to face Sporting Kansas City on Saturday (8:30 p.m., Apple TV)

The Union extended their unbeaten streak to the last 10 matches, with eight victories, since the World Cup break.

Iloski grew up in the San Diego area, and spent four months on loan with his hometown club last year. But the sides couldn't agree to a long-term deal, and he moved to the Union after that.

They will determine the final words that end up written about these last 10 days. Were they a harbinger? Or were they a rallying point? They will decide.

The Phillies are in the playoffs for a fifth consecutive season, and nothing that happened over the last six months matters anymore. Remember 2022?
