The Ten Shirt: How The United States National Soccer Team (Might Have) Won The 1982 World Cup
What if the American sports scene had turned out differently? We now have three major sports, 31/2 if you include hockey, mainly because of the advent of television in the 1960's and 70's. As strange as it may seem to us today, soccer as a professional sport was just as valid as baseball, basketball, and football for much of the first half of the twentieth century. The Ten Shirt is a fun look back at a history that might have been - if only American soccer had been in the right place, at the right time.
