When Tim Weah stepped onto the field to start last night’s matchup between the United States and Mexico in Nashville, he made some history that few people didn’t realize. Tim Weah, 18 years old, went 90+ minutes in a 1-0 USMNT victory over their rivals. On the same night, hours earlier, his father, soccer legend George Weah, set the stage for the two of them to enter the record books.
George Weah, 51 years old, was the captain for Liberia in a friendly against Nigeria and played 79 minutes in a 2-1 defeat to the Super Eagles.
