Fans on X criticized a TNT commentator for comparing Cavan Sullivan with Lionel Messi during Sullivan’s Team USA appearance. The commentator said the pair were the only MLS players to have amassed 13 goal contributions since the league resumed after the World Cup.
The TNT commentary team included Brian Dunseth and Luke Wileman, but the article does not identify which made the remark. It also reports that Messi had 17 goal contributions after the World Cup. One fan said promising players should not be compared with Messi; another hoped Sullivan would be as good as Landon Donovan.
Sullivan became the youngest Team USA player to feature in a game since 2006. Before his national-team appearance, the Philadelphia Union player had scored or assisted in each of his previous six club games, the article says.
