The Rondo: Is Pochettino’s USMNT youth gamble worth it?

Cavan Sullivan leads a wave of fresh faces into USMNT camp, but has Mauricio Pochettino struck the right balance? GOAL’s writers debate his bold selections, notable omissions and what should count as success.

Sullivan, Albert, Gozo headline USMNT squad for friendlies

Rising stars Cavan Sullivan, Mathis Albert and Zavier Gozo are among the 12 players named to the U.S. men's national team for the first time ahead of the upcoming set of four friendlies. Manager Mauricio Pochettino, who confirmed his return to the USMNT in August, has also selected 12 players who were on this summer's World Cup roster, although big names Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Folarin Balogun all miss out.

Cavan Sullivan reportedly called up to USMNT

Philadelphia Union star Cavan Sullivan has reportedly been named to his first USMNT squad, according to ESPN. The youngster, who has lit up MLS with 17 goal contributions, is part of what seems likely to be a youthful roster. Christian Pulisic, who is coming off a leg injury sustained at the World Cup, reportedly did not receive a call up.
