Born and raise in Liberia, George Weah has
managed to use his God given abilities to go places and acrhived what
was thought to be unreachable for many Liberians. From his days with
Young Survivors in Claratown to the days of Tonnerre of Cameroom, and
the world best title with AC Milan, he's always humble and very
generous to family, friends and amazingly the entire country of
Liberia. The amount of time and financial support he has rendered to
his country is unthinkable. The world thinks he's the greastest soccer
player to ever come from Africa, but I think he is the greastest role
model for Liberians and he cares about his country and his people more
than any other sport hero in the entire world.
End Of The Road
The performance of Weah has confused many, and most believe that he found
himself on the unfortunate side as far as football developing countries are
concern. If this theory is true, then one might ask why Jesus come from
Nazareth? The Jews believed that nothing good come from Nazareth, yet Jesus
came from there. George Weah doesn’t find himself on the unfortunate side,
the fact remains that stars are never born in a palaces. The Unfortunate
thing should be a question that all Liberians must ask themselves: Will
Liberia ever produce another George Weah?

Liberia's
Lone Star - For Love Of Country
As Liberia continues to struggle daily with its many
problems, some of which have now become very chronic, Liberians from
all walks of life would be challenged from time to time to make
whatever sacrifices they could to pull their country through one of
its most difficult periods.

Liberian Soccer
-Merits and Demerits
By Bill B. Blamo
Liberian soccer has come of age and no doubt the apparent
success of the country's national soccer team, the Lone
Star, should be commended.

Jack
the Rebel came calling in May of that year, as the rainy season began
and the civil war spun into endgame.
The streets of Liberia's capital, Monrovia, bore the latest bad fruit
of Charles Taylor's seven-year drive for power: boy soldiers killing
for fun, 3,000 dead within the previous two months, U.S. Marines
evacuating thousands of foreigners, and warlords and their armies
looting the city in a final spasm of greed.
