Teen sensation Sullivan, who debuted in MLS at 14 and already has a transfer to Premier League champions Manchester City lined up, also makes the cut.

    Sullivan will be hoping to represent the USMNT at some stage, while USWNT star Shaw is already a proven international performer for the United States. The 19-year-old forward is another that has been rewriting the history books and appears destined for greatness.
