What happened: His mother represented St. Lucia in cricket, rugby and soccer, while an uncle also played professionally. Phillip began playing at age 4 and later pursued college soccer in the United States.

Why it matters: Phillip’s recent debut came in a 1-0 victory. He has said he wants to connect the U.S. and St. Lucia while creating opportunities for talented players with limited resources.

What to watch: The next marker will be whether Phillip earns more first-team minutes following his debut.
