USMNT youngsters Weah and Sargent shake off nerves to score in friendly romp over Bolivia

Teenagers Tim Weah and Josh Sargent scored goals on a night when a very young U.S. squad gave American fans plenty of reason for optimism

You probably wouldn't think that Tim Weah and Josh Sargent would have gotten nervous making their first U.S. national team starts on Monday night against Bolivia. After all, it was just two weeks ago that Weah made his first start for Paris Saint-Germain, while Sargent had impressed at the Under-20 and Under-17 World Cups in the past year.

Monday was very different though, and the two 18-year-olds admitted to feeling a different level of jitters as they took the field against Bolivia.
