Interesting article about the New York Cosmos . It describes them as the worlds first rock n roll football team. They attracted star players and brought glamour to the NASL. I wouldn’t mind getting one of their retro shirts

Full of degenerates and perverts. Someone’s dad wouldn’t have hesitated in stuck his boot in.

Cosmos were a model of how to run a club into the ground.

I watched the first ten minutes.

Seems like a very interesting film.

I will watch it all when I have tume.

Thanks for posting that link, Jim.

I have "tume" all the time, but I can't get a doctor's appointment.
TUMESCENCE! Do none of you listen to the Sports Bar?

For those of you that can't be arsed, here's the plot, as described on IMDB:

Storyline
A look back at one of the more curious fads in American professional sports, the sudden rise and precipitous fall of the North American Soccer League, spanning its existence 1968-1984, as seen through the experience of its most famous club, the New York Cosmos. The NASL made very little impact in the US, where soccer had virtually no following, until in 1975 the New York Cosmos succeeded in signing the most famous player in the world, Pele. Attendence for Cosmos games exploded, outdrawing even the New York Giants and New York Jets of the NFL, to where exhibition games in Seattle were drawing huge crowds, and when Pele announced his retirement in 1977 his final game drew the biggest crowd to ever see a soccer game in the US. His retirement from the game began a slow but steady decline for the NASL as money issues for the league and the spending practices of the Cosmos became a running controversy.

TL:DR
Yanks = wanks.
