On the record
Called Shots →Mark McKenzie is named on the United States roster for the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal against Haiti (November 14 and 17, 2026). Scored off U.S. Soccer's roster announcement for the November window, including any player added before the first leg on 2026-11-14. It resolves yes if McKenzie is on that roster at any point before the first leg; it resolves no if he is not named, or is named and withdrawn before the roster is announced.
Mark McKenzie is in the United States' starting eleven in at least one of the two legs of the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal against Haiti, November 14 in Miami or November 17 in Cincinnati. Scored off the federation's published Starting XI for each match. It resolves yes if he starts either leg; it resolves no if he starts neither, including if he is withdrawn from the roster.
Written about him
George Campbell's groin put Mark McKenzie on the Haiti roster five hours before he scored
U.S. Soccer added Toulouse defender Mark McKenzie to the 25-man roster for the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal against Haiti on November 6, replacing George Campbell, who was withdrawn with a groin injury. McKenzie, 27, has 30 caps and had not been in a camp since the World Cup. Later that day he scored in the 56th minute of Toulouse's 3-1 win over Strasbourg, his first league goal of the season, and has played all 900 of Toulouse's league minutes. Gio Reyna, also on the roster, scored for Strasbourg and came off in the 70th minute with an injury. The United States plays Haiti on November 14 in Miami and November 17 in Cincinnati.
Pepi and Balogun were not 100 percent. Pochettino brought the one with no start
Mauricio Pochettino named 25 players on November 4 for the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal against Haiti, November 14 in Miami and November 17 in Cincinnati. He said he did not want to bring both Ricardo Pepi and Folarin Balogun because neither is 100 percent, and he brought Balogun, who has 116 of 810 league minutes and no start. In four league matches since the fall window, Balogun played 102 of 360 minutes and Pepi 30 of 360. Julian Hall played 535 of 540. Mathis Albert (20 of 720) and Malik Tillman (242 of 720) are on the list; Mark McKenzie (810 of 810), Yunus Musah (671 of 900) and Aidan Morris (1,080 of 1,170) are not. Haiti is the designated home team in Miami, so a U.S. goal there is an away goal. Wilson Isidor returned for Sunderland with 33 minutes at Coventry on October 31.
Mark McKenzie has not missed a Toulouse minute. Pochettino has seen that before.
Mauricio Pochettino used five center backs across the four fall matches: Chris Richards, Auston Trusty, George Campbell, Neil Pierre and Miles Robinson. Richards is the fixed point. Since the window closed, Trusty was an unused substitute in Celtic's first league match back, Campbell was unused in West Brom's and then started at Wrexham, Pierre started both of Philadelphia's league matches, and Robinson left Cincinnati's win at Atlanta in the 72nd minute with a leg injury and missed the next match. Mark McKenzie, who was not in the 28, has started all six of Toulouse's Ligue 1 matches, 540 of 540 minutes, and joins Pierre at the Philadelphia Union in January. The United States plays Haiti in the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal on November 14 and 17.
