i was at this great game. I was 20 and let me tell you it was 2 great teams playing at Wrigley Field...Yes, Wrigley Field...And all the big stars at the time we're there..What a great time for Football ( soccer). ..MLS owe's everything to the old NASL...A great time..NASL killed itself. It became a league that got watered down with teams with no name players.....By the way the greatest goal of all time was scored by Ingo Peter, power rocket from 40 yrs out. I wish The Sting org, would post it.
Some of the greatest memories of my childhood was watching the Cosmos whenever they played and having season tickets with my father. There has never been anything like it.....beautiful soccer!!
3:27 are you fucken serious are thos penalty's? and also frigginwoow says they don't have skill, they do but their level of play and the way the celebrate i could see why now U.S. has maintained a certain stereotype about american soccer and soccer in general
@thecelebratedmisterk lol frigginwoow is an total idiot! Im german and i have watched the match NY Cosmos vs AS Rome and the Cosmos were the better team and the player Arno Steffenhagen was also capted for the german national team once.
I mean just look at the names: Pelé,Chinaglia, Beckenbauer,Marsh,C.Alberto,George Best,Neeskens,Cruyff etc. all these legends were playing in the NASL
@frigginwoow Yeah, because Chinaglia, Neeskens and Granitza never had any success whatsoever...not only in America, but in Europe also. Ignorant moron.
I will always remember this game! I worked for the Sting at the time and was up in the Press Box and it was my mom's birthday...quite a gift for her! It's so great to see this video to bring back all these great memories! Thanks for posting!
The Sting always had the Cosmos number. I had tickets for the first time they played at Giants Stadium Karl Heinz Granitza scored off a free kick in 2nd ot. But had the pleasure the following yr at the first time they met after the Sting won Soccer Bowl 81 to a Cosmos victory

This is such a typical American soccer game, none of these players have any skill.
