In this episode you'll meet the NY Greek Americans, a club still in existence today that dominated and became the first club to win the US Open Cup 3 times in a row from 1967-69. We'll travel in time through the magic of newspaper articles from those famous victories at the end of the 60's. Then we'll check in on the US National Team and their short journey that really never got started in trying to qualify for World Cup 1970 in Mexico.

In this episode we'll travel in the time machine to 1968 and turbulent times in America and in American Soccer.

In this episode we start at square one in the year 1967 and a few brilliant but ahead of their time visionary sports entrepreneurs including Lamar Hunt, Jack Kent Cooke, and Steve Starvo among others have a vision to bring professional soccer to North America. Two Leagues are formed and rushed into existence and there's certainly bumps along the way the seed that will eventually lead to the US hosting World Cup 1994 is planted.
