Injury Time 9 - The Grace Jones World Series - North American Soccer League Draft

In this episode of Injury Time, Al and John dive into the chaotic, colourful world of the North American Soccer League (NASL) — the wild 1970s and 80s league that brought Pelé, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, and Best to America.   Each host drafts a 5-a-side dream team of NASL stars. We use this as a vehicle to tell the story - or at least some of the story - of a league where: Clubs wore cowboy kits 🤠 No game ever ended in a draw (thats right, game rather than match) And half-time shows featured live concerts and armadillo racing  And of course, the super computer decides whose team wins.   🎧 Available now — listen wherever you get your pods.
