George Weah is one of the best African footballers ever. The Ballon d’Or winner and the FIFA World Player of the Year won numerous titles in Italy and France. Yet, he never played a single match at the FIFA World Cup.And his son Timothy has done it on Monday night!Not only the 22-year-old made his maiden WC appearance, but also scored his team’s only goal in a 1-1 draw against Wales. Such a pity though he did it for the United States and not for his fatherland, Liberia.A Lone Star to live his father’s dreams under the stars and stripesAnyhow, Timothy Weah deserves nothing but applause for his outstanding performance and skills that reminded us of his amazing dad.The partnership Weah Jr has established with Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic is and will be the States’ driving force in the Qatar tournament.And the Yankees were eager to start this one in a fashionable way, rushing for the win straight from the very kick-off. Weah Jr made quite a stir on the right wing before firing it in the box, and Wales’ sweeper Rodon almost netted an own goal in an attempt to clear this vicious cross. The Wales fans were still getting their head around the situation when the States struck almost instantly, again. Sargent reacted nicely on the near post, but his effort ended outside the right post.George Weah, the only African player to have won the Ballon d’Or, and arguably the greatest player the continent has produced never played in a #FIFAWorldCup. Timothy Weah, his son, has just gone and scored in one. Legacy 🤝 pic.twitter.com/bNALl3tKws— 101 Great Goals (@101greatgoals) November 21, 2022 The difference in the approach of the two teams was seen not only in the number of chances created but also in harsh tackles. In the span of just two minutes, Serginho Dest and Winston McKenney were both booked for two horrendous tackles. Yet, at the same time, it showed the USA’s determination, which showed no signs of letting the intimidated rivals go.And they got their deserved present in the 35th minute thanks to a perfect link-up between Pulisic and Weah. The Chelsea forward made a stellar run almost from the halfway line before smoothly assisting George Weah’s son, who recreated his father’s finishing to put his side in front, 1-0.We were anticipating Wales’ response at that point, but it came after the middle of the second half. Just like the Americans some half an hour earlier, we saw two chances in a row – Davies and Moore tried their luck but Turner denied the first header and then the second went inches off the target.However, not even Turner could stop Bale from levelling the score ten minutes before the end from the spot. The former Real Madrid winger was taken down in the box, and he stepped up to save his side. His shot was superb and Wales got themselves a much-needed point.QATAR 2022 WORLD CUPGroup BMondayEngland – Iran 6-2 (3-0)/Bellingham 35, Saka 43, 62, Sterling 45+1, Rashford 71, Grealish 90 – Taremi 65, 90+12 p/USA – Wales 1-1 (1-0)/Weah 36, Bale 82 pen/Tuesday, Nov 22nd13:00: (1.18) Argentina (7.25) Saudi Arabia (15.0) C16:00: (1.45) Denmark (4.20) Tunisia (8.00) D19:00: (2.75) Mexico (2.95) Poland (2.85) C22:00: (1.25) France (6.25) Australia (11.0) DWednesday, Nov 23rd13:00: (4.20) Morocco (3.40) Croatia (1.92) F16:00: (1.50) Germany (4.30) Japan (6.50) E19:00: (1.15) Spain (7.50) Costa Rica (20.0) E22:00: (1.42) Belgium (4.50) Canada (8.00) FThursday, Nov 24th13:00: (1.75) Switzerland (3.45) Cameroon (5.20) G16:00: (1.80) Uruguay (3.40) S.Korea (4.90) H19:00: (1.43) Portugal (4.20) Ghana (8.50) H22:00: (1.48) Brazil (4.20) Serbia (7.25) GFriday, Nov 25th13:00: (2.25) Wales (3.05) Iran (3.60) B16:00: (3.80) Qatar (3.10) Senegal (2.15) A19:00: (1.65) Netherlands (3.80) Ecuador (5.50) A22:00: (1.65) England (3.70) USA (5.70) BSaturday, Nov 26th13:00: (2.90) Tunisia (3.00) Australia (2.65) D16:00: (1.63) Poland (3.80) Saudi Arabia (5.70) C19:00: (2.00) France (3.40) Denmark (3.90) D22:00: (1.62) Argentina (3.70) Mexico (6.00) CSunday, Nov 27th13:00: (1.85) Japan (3.40) Costa Rica (4.60) E16:00: (1.55) Belgium (4.00) Morocco (6.25) F19:00: (1.80) Croatia (3.50) Canada (4.70) F22:00: (2.60) Spain (3.25) Germany (2.75) EMonday, Nov 28th13:00: (4.20) Cameroon (3.35) Serbia (1.95) G16:00: (2.55) S.Korea (2.95) Ghana (3.05) H19:00: (1.50) Brazil (4.10) Switzerland (7.00) G22:00: (2.10) Portugal (3.20) Uruguay (3.80) HTuesday, Nov 29th18:00: (1.30) Netherlands (5.20) Qatar (11.0) A18:00: (2.80) Ecuador (3.10) Senegal (2.65) A22:00: (6.00) Wales (3.80) England (1.60) B22:00: (3.60) Iran (3.35) USA (2.10) BWednesday, Nov 30th18:00: (10.0) Tunisia (5.00) France (1.33) D18:00: (7.00) Australia (3.60) Denmark (1.58) D22:00: (5.20) Poland (3.70) Argentina (1.70) C22:00: (5.70) Saudi Arabia (3.80) Mexico (1.63) CThursday, Dec 1st18:00: (3.80) Croatia (3.45) Belgium (2.00) F18:00: (3.45) Canada (3.15) Morocco (2.25) F22:00: (8.50) Japan (4.80) Spain (1.37) E22:00: (12.0) Costa Rica (6.50) Germany (1.23) EFriday, Dec 2nd18:00: (8.00) S.Korea (4.50) Portugal (1.42) H18:00: (4.80) Ghana (3.45) Uruguay (1.80) H22:00: (11.0) Cameroon (5.20) Brazil (1.30) G22:00: (2.60) Serbia (3.40) Switzerland (2.70) G***odds are subject to change***
