Yanks on Foreign NTs [R]

Yep. He played for El Salvador in CONCACAF U17 qualifying (as Ronald):

There's been a fair bit of press coverage in Japan on the tri-national Herivaux. The linked article notes his Osaka-accented Japanese, that he has rejected cap-tying Haiti callups in order to retain his eligibility for either Japan or the US, and his high school summers spent training with a powerhouse high school team in Osaka.

 

Darren Randolph started in goal for Ireland:

917460975233622016 is not a valid tweet id

Ended up 1-0, putting them into the playoff round for a shot at the WC.

 

Herivaux starts against his birth country. Andrew Jean-Baptiste and Derrick Etienne are in the Haiti squad as well, while Gotoku Sakai starts for Japan.

Well, it looks like Thomas Delaney or Darren Randolph will get a chance to play in the WC:

 

Ended 3-3.

Herivaux started, went 90. + yellow card

Etienne started, played 1st half.

Jean-Baptiste entered at half. + yellow card

 

Soony Saad was interviewed for a segment on Only a Game about his experience in North Korea:

I wonder if Bjorn Johnson had waited to declare he would be looking at getting a call up against Portugal w/ the US.

 

Darren Randolph called up on provisional roster for Ireland in playoffs against Denmark:

I thought that rang a bell.

Here's an article where he discusses his father's service:

https://www.pressreader.com/new-zealand/marlborough-express/20100621/281505042471377

He mentions the weird twist of his father being born in the US and raised in NZ, but serving in the US military (which could theoretically mean that Shane isn't eligible for US citizenship if his father didn't live long enough in the US). And Shane was born in Germany and raised mostly in Australia after the age of 6.

 

That's one hell of an accent he must have

And it looks like this one won't end up as an "official" match:

FT UAE 0 - 1 Haiti. A decent win for Haiti, match turned a bit farcical in the end with each side making 8 subs.

Bit off topic, but kind of surprised by those odds. Are Denmark really that heavily favored to win over Ireland? I'd think that'd be the one closest to 50-50. And, well barring using hindsight from last night, would think Italy would be the most heavily favored to qualify. The other two seem about right.
