Glad to see the Union are doing this. Capitalize on this moment, get new fans in the door, and if they like what they see, they’ll turn you a profit later.
CHESTER, Pa. (October 4, 2026) – You saw him score for the USMNT. Now come see him at Subaru Park.

Following Homegrown midfielder Cavan Sullivan becoming the youngest player ever to score for the U.S. Men's National Team, the Philadelphia Union are launching a limited-time ticket promotion.

To celebrate Sullivan's historic goal, the Union will offer a limited-time $17 ticket flash sale for this Saturday’s match against Real Salt Lake. To access this offer, fans can use promo code “CAVAN17” on SeatGeek, the club's Official Ticketing Partner.

I’d like to think that Emma Hayes’ reaction to Jaedyn Shaw scoring with her in the building was: go right ahead.

The goal was why Cavan Sullivan called the night "the best feeling I’ve ever experienced." But his defensive pressing all game was why Mauricio Pochettino called him "a fighter” and “a warrior." The 17-year-old from Philadelphia was front and center again: www.inquirer.com/soccer/cavan... #USMNT

Cavan Sullivan’s stunning first USMNT goal was part of an incredible game against Mexico
Sullivan called scoring his 35-yard chip "the best feeling I’ve ever experienced." He also was great at defensive pressing, which led Mauricio Pochettino to say "he’s a fighter, he’s a warrior."

The Chicago Stars have parted ways with defender Leila Ouahabi. A source familiar with the parting says it was an amicable decision after conversations about the team’s direction, and her goals for the future. She’d previously signed over the summer through the end of this 2026 season.

Cavan Sullivan scores his first USMNT goal with a highlight-reel chip to help beat archrival Mexico

Among many aspects of the play: Look how much space Cavan Sullivan was in alone when he made the interception. Not just relative to #USMNT teammates, but to any Mexican players.

18' 1-0 #USMNT. Against the run of play, but that's how it can hapen. Freeman to Reyna, who aims at Raúl Rangel and hits him in undoubtedly this Mexico lineup's biggest weak spot. Rangel spills it, Julian Hall pounces.

Mexico just announced that Chucky Lozano suffered a hamstring injury in training yesterday, won't play tonight & will head back to the Galaxy tomorrow for recovery. The injury is a "left biceps femoris musculotendinous junction injury" so...where his hammy connects to the knee, I think?

Big East has new leadership. Three coaching changes. And a collective NIL men's basketball budget north of $135 million. Huge year ahead for the conference. Can't keep relying on UConn, St. John's and Villanova to carry all the weight, especially not in an era of 76 NCAAT teams. Column:
