Once In A Lifetime -- Go See It
I saw this movie and it was good fun to watch. I missed most of the NASL, only getting to see the SJ Earthquakes vs. the TB Rowdies once and the Washington Dips vs. the Ft. Lauderdale Strikers another. And then it was gone.
This film has great Brazilian footage of Pele playing for Santos that I hadn't seen, a snippet or two of Chinaglia in his Lazio days. Even better are the candid interviews from the Cosmos players and management, like Beckenbauer, Messing, Firmani, and Carlos Alberto.
And for GAC, lots of Dennis Tueart. I recommend it.

Plan to see this asap. Went to many LA Aztecs matches as a boy in California. And, great take on the "Tueart" reference. You're smarter than you look, gooner71.

Not liking this turn of event at all. I'm changing the locks to avoid boiled bunnies.
Found this incidentally on www.soccertv.com.
