Tim Weah becomes first 2000s player to earn USMNT cap

Tim Weah made his U.S. national team debut on Tuesday against Paraguay, coming on in the 87th minute to replace Toronto FC's Marky Delgado and becoming the first player born in the 2000s to represent the full men's national team.

The 18-year-old was born February 22, 2000, and was one of three players to debut for the USA on the night, along with the 22-year-old Delgado and Andrija Novakovich, a 22-year-old forward who is on loan with Dutch side Telstar from Reading.

Weah has made his first-team debut for Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month, coming on as a substitute in the club’s 2-0 victory over Troyes.
