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.
