        For a moment I mistook Dickens for the real Weah. What a Well Choreographed move!

        This simulation cannot go unchallenged. My team would like to propose a return leg match, as a replacement for Virona. 😂 Olewe Weah, your days are numbered.

        LOL. You know, chanelling my inner Weah has got me thinking of getting into politics. No return match, I'm done with defenders.

        Now @Msuwonkunda should ensure long term plans like a new category in the BBC Africa footballer of the year. Such dribbling should never retire unrewarded!
