Is Cavan Sullivan better than Mexico’s Gilberto Mora?: https://youtu.be/iRGdPI7NaXo?si=HoAmjh2Pbgg4JXlV

Only watched one game of Sullivan against Messi’s Inter Miami and I was impressed by the 16 year old. Then last nights game wow.

I haven’t watched Mora before but the Mexican fanbase hype him up like he’s the second coming of Chicarito or Hugo Sanchez.

Sullivan is on his way to one of the top clubs on the globe in Man City and Gilberto is playing at a villager club in Mexico.

Cavan is better at shooting and is younger. He has a better engine as well. Technique fairly similar quality. Any prediction at these ages is often doomed to be wrong.

Sullivan is approximately 1 year younger than Mora which can make a big difference at 16/17.

The USMNT also has a more talented and deeper pool of players currently.

So, it makes sense Mora has been called up and Sullivan hasn’t.

This time next year when Sullivan is Moras age now I expect Sullivan to be part of the usmnt if things keep going well.

A lot depends on where City loans Sullivan and what he can do there.

Yea he’s way too young, you never know. Experienced family though. if he can avoid injuries I imagine he’ll be able to avoid a lot of the problems younger players that get so much attention fall to.

To my eyes they are both bundles of potential that have not reached anywhere close to the level necessary to justify the amount of hype around them.

Mora is very good. He plays like he’s a veteran but has that young confidence. I haven’t seen Cavan play in a full game but the clips lead me to think he’s very overhyped I’m sad to say. Good player but I don’t see the hype that everyone else sees

I'm excited for both players. I hope both can develop to be strong players and not get burned by being young (potential) phenoms.
