Your English forebearers would be proud.


Don't know if you have any English roots, but let's say yes for the sake of the joke

Nice goal.

I saw Iranian fans were also chanting "dishonourable" all through the game, which is a slogan in the protests.

Nice goal.

Just checked it and yes, that Weah kid who just scored for the US is the son of George Weah. Oh how time passes...

Just followed up on George, he's president of Liberia. Interesting  career.

He entered Liberian politics when he retired, IIRC, on the wake of the end of the civil war in Liberia. Been at it for a while already.

[Valmy]

Should have scored there. Sloppy passing.
