The Son Of Liberia's President Scored The First Goal For The United States

Tim Weah, who scored the first goal of the World Cup for the United States on Monday, and the president of Liberia are not only friends, because it is his father who scored in the first game of the World Cup. The moment was so crazy, Weah admitted: "never thought it would happen."

Weah helped the United States to the front, but the 1-0 lead was lost late in the game when Bale scored from 12 yards for Wells and the two teams ended 1-1 in the opening game of the Group stage.

Weah, 22, is the son of a famous player, George, who is regarded as the greatest African footballer of all time. George Weah, who won the Ballon d 'arte in 1995, but whose regret was that Liberia never made it to the World Cup; He retired from politics and won the presidential election in 2017, becoming the first footballer-turned-head of state.

"As a kid, I was convinced I could be a professional soccer player, but it was crazy to represent my country in the World Cup," said Brooklyng-born Weah, who played in the United States in the World Cup, where his father could not.

Weah said it was like a dream, leaving a goal record to make the dream even better, "to score in the World Cup, it is the dream of every striker, every player." His parents were there to see their son become a hero of the new nation.

Weah said that his father is a great player, career did not have the opportunity to play in the World Cup, but looking at his appearance in the World Cup, I believe that he will feel the same, proud of his performance.

Wells, who has been in the game for 64 years, was forced by star Gareth Bale, and coach Paige had no hesitation in taking the penalty. "It's a million per cent chance you give him, he's never let us down, and it's up to Bale again."
