Birth date confusion[edit]

I added a 2001 births cat in the article based on the information in the 2nd reference given; however it conflicts with the information in the infobox (1999 birth year; which is not justified). Perhaps it's better to change it to Year of birth uncertain? More research is needed.--FeanorStar7 (talk) 05:14, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality[edit]

Born in USA and plays for USA. Sounds American enough to list in description. Nswix (talk) 01:50, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But never lived there and would likely have been considered 'English' if not for his recent call-up... Giant Snowman 20:25, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

But he also actively and consciously chose the United States. So, having been born there and actively chosen to represent only them, it doesn't really matter where he grew up. Anwegmann (talk) 20:56, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
