saw this last night, the story of the NY Cosmos. (have we had a thread?
Superb, best sports documentary film I have ever seen. In fact it might be the only one. No, I have seen 'when we were kings' which is as good as OIALT, probaly better in fact. So OIALT is the worst sports documenatry film I have seem, but its still excellent
I had no idea they were basically playing sunday league level when they signed Pele, the guys behind it all disagreed on everything.
The Giorgio Chinaglia bits were fascinating, a bit of a c**t (as was pele), hated by most but got the goals. One of the english guys who founded them said about him “He was Italian, scored a lot of goals, spoke English with a Welsh accent - and that’s about all the good things I can say about him”
Sure others can add,
