Introducing a new podcast brought to you by the PTB Media
Network. "The Mister" Mike Agostinho @mikeagostinho will take you
on a nostalgic trip back to when the game of soccer wasn't even
on the radar of most Americans. Today there are up to 100 live
matches on TV and Streaming in America every weekend but this
podcast will take you back to when that wasn't the case, because
we can't know where we are headed if we don't know where we've
been. The podcast will start it's timeline at the collapse of the
#NASL and take you through the 1994 World Cup and the berth of
Major League Soccer. Buckle up and come along for the ride!!!


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.
