In 1990, though no one knew it then, a fearless group of players changed the sport of soccer in the United States forever. Young, bronzed, and mulletted, they were America’s finest athletes in a sport that America loved to hate. Even sportswriters rooted against them. Yet this team defied massive odds and qualified for the World Cup, making possible America’s current obsession with the world’s most popular game. New Kids in the World Cup is the origin story of modern American soccer.

Solid but not spectacular
Revisado: 02-26-23
An enjoyable book about a part of US Soccer history that deserves this attention. The lengthy descriptions of matches I could do without. Much more interesting were the off-field machinations of players, coaches, execs, and others in the orbit of the team at this time. The audiobook performance was solid, though it felt like the reader was recording in the middle of the night afraid to raise his voice too much above a whisper. I had really high hopes for this book, and I’m glad I read it, but it didn’t quite go the directions I’d hoped it would as often as I wanted. Your mileage may vary!
