If you are a soccer fan and a history buff then you should see this movie. It is a very informative movie on how professional soccer really started in America and why the game lost its appeal to the American people. Most of the interviews that were conducted really give you a "behind the scenes" look at what was really going on during this time in American soccer. Since this movie was a documentary, you really don't get to see very many clips of actual soccer being played. Though the DVD does include a couple of full matches, I would have liked to seen more highlight clips. I decided to buy this movie because I seen a preview for it when I was at a movie theatre. It really sparked my interest because as a kid I played soccer and everyone that did play knew who Pele was but never really knew how he got here and how much he really meant to American soccer.Read full review

Tells how the Cosmos were able to get Pele, Chinaglia and Franz Beckenbaur making the Cosmos one of the best soccer teams in the world. Great vintage footage- a must see for any sports fan.
