Time for another soccer movie recommendation. This time I'll be choosing "Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos." I rented this movie my first year of my Masters Programme in Edinburgh (it was broadcast on ESPN in the states). It is a well-constructed documentary about the rise of Soccer, particularly the New York Cosmos, in 1970's America.
You will hear from all of the major players in the doc, minus Pele, who refused to be interviewed without receiving a substantial amount of money. Regardless, you will enjoy the story, and the interviews, especially from Chingala (one of the biggest A-holes to ever grace the planet).
Take away Recommendation: Watch this film with a large meatfest pizza from Papa Johns & a Dr. Pepper
FINAL GRADE: 7/10 Stars
