do we know how Ryan Johannson played?
Goals here.

There was a brief mention of him impressing on his debut, playing the last half hour in the 1-0 defeat, but he wasn't mentioned in the report for the second game.

Conor Noß has been called up for an under 19 training camp
translation via google translate
Conor Noß has been appointed to the squad of the U19 national team of Ireland. Borussia's U-23 player completes a two-day training camp in Dublin on Monday, September 2 and Tuesday, September 3. Come back healthy, Conor!
Armstrong Oko-flex, Conor Noß, and Jamie Bowden included in the under 19 squad for two friendlies against Denmark in Sligo later this week: https://www.fai.ie/ireland/news/irel...ark-friendlies
Phil's wife's name is Julie Killilea. He must qualify through his mother or grandparents on that side of the family.
Great to see Okoflex back in the fold. Noss and Bowden are welcome additions too. Great to see Ryan Cassidy back fit. Hopefully Hodge will come back in later on as well once he gets back to fitness.
Would be great to make the finals again, they are on in NI and the five best performing teams make the Under 20 World Cup so a big opportunity there for these lads.

A heavy concentration of lads born outside of Ireland in this squad. I would be interested to hear some of them come out and say Ireland was their first choice, particularly the son of England women's manager and former England international.
Great to see Okoflex back in the fold. Will playing for us competitively be his use of his one switch or is he still sitting on that?
I don't think Oko Flex qualifies for England anyway, but he could still switch to Nigeria. So far none of the Nigerian Irish have shown much interest in doing that though.
Same time as the u21 game, which is on eir sport, so the crowd might be lower than expected
Yes, I hope that is indicative of their feeling comfortably integrated into Irish society. Afolabi spoke about it recently and said his mother wanted him to play for Nigeria but he wanted to stick with us.
It's probably difficult for an underage player to throw his lot in and travel to play with Nigeria. Let's see if we do lose anyone over 21 in the coming years.
Ogbene is the only lad to have voiced a preference for Nigeria and he hasn't come near senior recognition for us.
