From Franz Beckenbauer and Pele at the New York Cosmos to George Best and Johan Cruyff with the Los Angeles Aztecs, during the late 1970s and early 1980s, the North American Soccer League - NASL - attracted some of the finest footballers / soccer players on Earth at one time.

In this short documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look back at the rise, fall, and downright madness of the North American Soccer League, and it's legacy in terms of the history of soccer in United States and worldwide to this day.
