Confirmation on date formats per MOS:DATEFORMAT. American or New Zealand

So a few times this article has changed between DMY and MDY. While Boyd was born in New Zealand, his father is an American Citizen. So in 2019, FIFA approved a one-time switch for him to represent the United States internationally of which he then went on to represent the team. I'm inclined to have him with MDY now since that is who he represents internationally but open to the other, just like confirmation here on the talk page, so we can stop it going back and forth.

My recent cleanup seemed to be in line with the created version of the article. Dl2000 (talk) 01:06, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dl2000 Yes that is correct but he isn't really a New Zealander now. His article was created as he meet notibility as a professional footballer for the Wellington Phoenix. Now however since 2019 he has played 10 times for the United States and so thought it more relevant to have MDY. I note on Soccerway he is listed as American now too.
