    Tells the story with humour and verve, and it’s hard not to be a little bit nostalgic for the days when 70,000 people would crowd into Giants stadium to watch “the other football.”

    Both entertaining and informative. You'll learn a lot about the birth of mainstream interest in soccer in America.

    It's a stylish scramble of evocative footage, groovy music, and crazy-candid reminiscences from key players still proud to score.

    This intermittently fascinating documentary chronicles the rise and fall of the Cosmos --which is also the rise and fall of U.S. soccer.
