USA's Tim Weah Captains Marseille In Season-Opening Win vs. Strasbourg

Olympique de Marseille has a new captain, and he's someone who United States men's national team fans should be very familiar with. Marseille opened its Ligue 1 campaign against RC Strasbourg Alsace on Friday and U.S. men's national team winger Tim Weah captained the French club in its 4-0 win. Weah started at right back and went the full 90 minutes. Weah was a key player under Marseille's former manager Habib Beye, but new manager Bruno Génésio has pushed Weah even more by awarding him the captain's armband. Weah completed his permanent transfer to Marseille in June after joining the club on a season-long loan last season. Weah wasn't the only American to make an appearance in Friday's match. United States men's national team midfielder Gio Reyna also appeared as a substitute against Marseille and played 21 minutes. Reyna joined Strasbourg from Borussia Dortmund earlier this month. He wears the elusive No. 10 for the club.
