This is Giorgio Chinaglia of the NY Cosmos scoring a ridiculous overhead kick/volley goal from the NASL in the 70's. This clip was taken from an old school American instructional soccer video from the early 1980's (which I recorded off my TV with my video camera)

Gotta love the cheerleaders behind the goal :o)

    The New York Cosmos played in the North American Soccer League which existed from 1968 to 1984. It was the premier soccer league of North America. Giorgio Chinaglia left Lazio to join the New York Cosmos. Many European players left Europe in the 1970s after playing for the World Cup to make better money in the North American Soccer League.

  • @54spiritedwill54 so true!

  • @ohararules

    In the NASL's intent of "Americanizing" the game, yes, they had cheerleaders. The league folded in '84.

  • @WatchVenusSpa

    Don't know why, but during introductions most of the fans loved to boo Chinaglia.

    There was nothing like going to a Cosmos game in the late '70's and early - mid 80's.

    I was at the very last game in '85 against Lazio in the pouring rain when only 1000 fans showed up and they had just cancelled the next game between the Cosmos and West Germany.

  • Love him or hate him Georgio was the MAN!

  • anyone know if this team will be back?
