George Weah was going for work as a TV commentator. But he also wasn\u2019t going to miss the first World Cup being hosted by an African nation. George is from Liberia and is considered one of the greatest players the continent has ever produced. In his prime, he played for European powers Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan and in 1995 won the Ballon d\u2019Or, which was given at the time to Europe\u2019s best player. He\u2019s still the only African-born player to ever receive the honor.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s carved out a career in Europe and is playing in his second World Cup, as a key reserve for the U.S. men\u2019s national team.<\/p>\n
