@@kidmack1121 the saddest part watching this is knowing just a few years later the league was no more. I remember my dad taking me to Cosmos games as a kid and then when visiting family in Canada we'd go watch the Toronto Metros-Croatia games. The best was going to the international games the Cosmos would host like the Trans-Atlantic Challenge Cup where it would be the Cosmos, another NASL team (either the Champions if the Cosmos didn't win or the runner up if the Cosmos won), a European side and a South American side. My dad also took me to when Hamburg came to play the Cosmos as well...it was so much fun and I wish this league survived but as well know there were many reasons it didn't but for that short period of time, it was special. Hopefully, the MLS will figure out a way to get the Cosmos brand back into the league.

Well Daniel, we both can say in spite of our divergent tastes of teams of the NFL, we both LOVED the NY Cosmos!
