Also the fact that more kids in America have played soccer than any other sport for the last 20 years. It’s by far the most popular youth sport in America.

While it's sort of weird to call a 14 year old a known quantity, Cavan has been playing up for Union Academies since he was ten or eleven. His older brother Quinn has had some success with the US U20 group. What makes Cavan unique from previous youth like Pulisic and Reyna is he could play in Germany starting at 16 but is opting to stay with Philly Union as a domestic player until he's 18 and will head to Man City. Maximo Carrizo with NYFC is an under 16 player who might be on the early European route and he's a dual national with Argentina as well as the US.

Again, though, it's not because of US pro soccer or even the US World Cup of 15-20 years ago so much as the Internet and streaming
Liverpool just signed a contract with an under 18 US player, right? That's pretty huge

Being a crazy ass c-word.
Documents reveal new details about Hope Solo's actions last June
KIRKLAND, Wash. -- It was early in the morning on June 21, 2014, and Hope Solo had just been arrested on two counts of domestic violence. The police were trying to book her into jail, but Solo was so combative that she had to be forced to the ground, prompting her to yell at one officer, "You're such a b----. You're scared of me because you know that if the handcuffs were off, I'd kick your ass."

That ponytail always looked like it was pulled a bit TOO tight. Lol
Athletes of either gender... for that matter- actors, actresses, people that work for the govt...
With her looks, Solo could have been the most popular and richest female athlete in the world.
Unfortunately, SHE CRAZY!!!
Figueroa was one of the primary strikers on the last U17 World Cup team for the US; he's probably an example of the classic American 9 like Altidore where he is a physically very mature 18 old. Axel Kei with Real Salt Lake is the same way. Those kids seem to top out pretty early.
Brooks Lennon with Atlanta FC did a stint through Liverpool but never made it through to the Senior team.
Yeah, but the guys most physically ready have fared better. The Aronson's, to name two, will continue to be ok players until they put on weight/ muscle. Sargent looks like a different guy than in years past, maturing physically, and his play shows.
To the best of my understanding, the reason Cavan is staying in Philly was because Man City was wanting him to go to some tier 2 Belgian league or something. Cavan's family and the Philly organization thought his development would be just as good staying home.
