The world knows him now as the son of one of the sport’s all-time greats, but Tim Weah will take the field in Qatar for the USMNT having lived a beautiful, uniquely American soccer story. Let samstejskal tell you:
traveled to the hometowns of several of its most important figures. We found a squad shaped not only by American society, but also influenced by traditions from every corner of the globe.Taken together, their stories provide a glimpse into a growing, increasingly vibrant American soccer culture that will be on full display between now and the World Cup final on Dec. 18.
“I give his mother a whole lot of credit,” said Michael Duncan, Clar’s older brother and Weah’s uncle. “She really dedicated her time to Timothy. Seventy-five percent of where he’s arrived is down to Timothy’s skill and dedication, but the other 25 percent to get him over the hump, it’s his mom. She and George met in the early 1990s in New York City when George stopped at a bank branch in Manhattan where Clar was working. They married in 1993, not long after George had moved from Monaco to Paris, then had their first two children, George Jr. and Martha. Tim, the youngest, was born in 2000 in Brooklyn.
One crisp Saturday morning in late October, I drove out to Rosedale to meet with Michael. As I pulled up, he was busy overseeing the club’s recreational program at their home field, which is tucked between P.S. 181 elementary school, a small pond backing up to a row of single-family homes and a wooded area that leads into the rest of Idlewild Park.
“This was a family environment for them,” said Michael. “This still is a family environment. So Timothy and Kyle, after we finished their game, they would be out here from 11 o’clock in the morning until 7 o’clock in the evening. There’d be 11 or 12 of them playing, every man for himself. When you get the ball, 11 others are trying to get it from you.”
