When the USA played their opening match against Wales on November 21 in this edition of the FIFA World Cup, a son had taken a giant step in his journey to come out of his legendary father's shadow. Timothy Weah made his World Cup debut on that day for USA against Wales, achieving a feat his Ballon d'or winner father could not in an illustrious career.
Son of George Weah, one of the greatest African players of all time, Weah junior not only made his debut but scored a goal against Wales. He even got praise from none other than Brazilian legend Pele. Weah posted a photo of him celebrating the goal on Instagram and Pele congratulated him in the comments section and wrote: "Congratulations. It was a beautiful goal. Keep dreaming, dreams come true."
