The Rise and Fall of the NY Cosmos

[Lazlo78]

For anyone with 1½ hour to spare this video gives an excellent insight of the North American Soccer League from the 70's, through the story of the NY Cosmos with Pele, Chinaglia, Beckenbauer, Carlos Alberto etc. Other players are also featured from a league that included Rodney Marsh, Johann Cruyff, Eusebio, Geoff Hurst, Johan Neeskens, Peter Lorimer, Gerd Muller, George Best, Bobby Moore, Gordon Banks etc. before it collapsed in '84...

 

Some really great characters in there, especially the late Giorgio Chinaglia:

Can't open the file, but if it is the movie "Once in a lifetime" from about six/seven years ago then yeah, it's a brilliant film and well worth a watch.
