Queue. Tim Weah, who scored the first goal for the US in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, is the son of Liberian President George Weah. George has been a footballer himself and has played for clubs such as Monaco, PSG, AC Milan, Chelsea and Manchester City. Tim, 22, was born in America and plays football for a French club.
On Monday, a very exciting match was witnessed between Wales and America in the FIFA World Cup 2022. America’s young team kept getting closer and closer to victory in the FIFA World Cup. Wales played out a 1–1 draw in the match thanks to a goal from striker Gareth Bale. Bell saved his team from defeat by scoring a penalty kick in the 82nd minute of this football match on Monday night.
The US team looked very disappointed with the draw, making their path to the knockout stages all the more uncertain. Midfielder Brendan Aaronson said, you felt the match was in your hands and you were going to win the match. It’s like a tight slap on your face.
America was off to a good start. The team took the lead in the 36th minute through Tim Viya’s goal. Tim Viah scored from a pass by Christian Pulisic. Wia’s father, former FIFA Player of the Year and President of Liberia, George Leah, was also in the audience.
Meanwhile, US coach Greg Berhalter said, walking into the locker room after the match, you could clearly see the frustration in the team. The US team had missed qualifying for the 2018 tournament as well. Bell thus scored the 41st goal of his career. Bell, who has played 109 international matches, brought Wales, who are playing their first World Cup match since 1958, on par.
Bell said, definitely, it was a tough match. We didn’t play the way we wanted to play in the first half, while America played very well. In Group B, the US will now face England on Friday, who opened their account with a 6-2 win over Iran. While Wales will face Iran.
