Yesterday was PSG's final match against Chivas. They won 2-1, with Weah notching both goals. The result meant PSG finished in seventh place and Chivas in eighth (last).

 

He seems to be progressing nicely. With the recent massive influx of cash to PSG have they been promoting much (if at all) from their academy? Just curious as I don't follow them other than their Champions League matches. Regardless - seems like he is projecting as a top-4 league player as of right now.

 

Per Wiki, they have 10 academy grads in their first team squad. They've played in a combined 151 league games, and the oldest among the group is 23 years old.

With how much better PSG is than most of the French league, I'd imagine they have a lot of opportunities to give promising young players time in Ligue 1. My takeaway would be that, if the talent's there, a player will get chances.

 

I like everything about those sentences

 

Weah included:

U-17 MNT head coach John Hackworth names 24-player roster for upcoming camp in Utah

 

US U-17 callup for the Torneo de Naciones in Mexico City. Looks to be mostly the same squad as the one that trained in Utah.

Involved in a little scuffle with Qatar, though no fault of his own.

Saw them $$$ when he opened that account

 

On Sunday Weah scored a goal, described as "a splendid shot from outside the box", in the Paris derby as PSG beat Paris FC 2-3.

Sounds like he ended up making a deposit.

 

Slightly better quality:

 

On the bench for UEFA Youth League match against Arsenal:

 

It would be so awesome if this kid turns out. He looks like a finisher.

 

He played 30 minutes but it ended 0-0.

Pronounced just like how his dad's name is.
