    Weah puts it on a platter for Pastore and he misses the sitter. Could have had his first assist

    Hasn’t done much besides his first pass in.

    Just received a ball into the corner but was dispossessed.

    I really couldn't take away anything. PSG's midfield was so low energy.

    No surprise but Weah was included in the 22-man US roster for the Bolivia match.

    Congrats to him. I think once he settles down a little he'll be a productive player for both club and country at the senior level.

    He has a lot to learn about movements as a forward. The game pretty much passed him by. The good news is that he is still young.

    Did he get his winner's medal for PSG? I didn't see it on his wikipedia page

    Does he have any privileges being the son of the President of Liberia?

    Given that its Liberia, his privilege is that he doesn't have to live there.

    I believe he is the next in line to wear a cat suit and protect the country at all cost. Oh wait, wrong African country...

    Don't know if @Kagler24 knows the history of Liberia, but I do know enough to know that it's one of the 5-10 countries in the world that I'd only go to if the options were starvation or prostitution, and I'm not entirely sure about prostitution.

    The last few years under their female president have been very positive, but from such a desperately low base.

    Sadly, that wisecrack is entirely accurate.

    I've been there several times, and history doesnt change the fact its one of the most impoverished countries on Earth. Almost to the point you feel like you're on a different planet all together.

    Not sure about yours, but my hands are clean. Or in other words GTFO with that to political forums.

    FOH. If you were really that put off by the thread of conversation you should have taken that tone up with whoever wanted to comment negatively on real word conditions in Liberia to begin with.

    You can't have it both ways. You're either the self-appointed geopolitics police or you're not.

    No harm no foul.

    It wasn't though.

    I'm just saying if we can throw shit on Liberia in jest, you can't complain about "politics" when someone counters.
