Description
Many believe that soccer's popularity in the United States is a recent phenomenon, that Pele introduced the sport to the U.S. market. Soccer has in fact enjoyed a long and illustrious history in this country.
This book examines American soccer from the 1860s up through the 1999 Women's World Cup and the 1999 MLS season.
Entries are present for the many professional and semi-professional leagues that have existed since the 1890s and their great players, teams, and coaches.
Important cup competitions, national teams, and major international competitions are also noted.
Over two hundred individuals who have contributed to American soccer - coaches, players, administrators, and referees - also have entries.
The perfect reference resource for sports scholars, but is also of interest to the ardent soccer fan.
