"Once In A Lifetime"

Fantastic movie about the NASL and the Cosmos.

A realy good lesson that sometimes it can seem like everything is going right, and then, poof, it is all gone.

I may need to watch this again, but I think anyone interested in the administration and management of soccer here in the U.S., on nearly any level, could learn quite a bit by watching and learning about these "shooting star" moments in U.S. soccer history.

 

I'll have to check out the film....thanks FFCinPCB.

I admit I thought this thread was going to be about the Talking Heads...

 

I just saw it last week. What do you think about the no ties and one on one player/goalie shootouts. The European players seemed to like it.

 

I didn't like the idea at first, but then they all talked about how great it was. We would need FIFA and UEFA to put a stamp of approval on it, but it would need to get the nod from the court of public opinion first.

 

Yes, check it out, I really enjoyed it. It sent me back to a time that I will remember fondly. There are some funny bits too. Especially Pele's first game with the Cosmos (I won't spoil it), I had know idea, very funny.

I have not seen it, is it out on disk yet? I look forward to seeing it. I had the fortune as a young teen to serve in the Washington Diplomats visiting locker room as an attendant during those years. It was a great time. There weren't many "quality" American players back then, maybe Gary Etherington, Kyle Rote Jr and a few others.
