The Birth of a League
A very interesting read on things that made no sense at the time. Especially with the nicknames and kits.

We were told that MLS had requested from FIFA that we could be experimental. Then we were told that they were going to tell the linesmen not to call offside if a call was close. I remember asking, “What the hell did we get ourselves into?”

WYNALDA: After that first game there was this older gentleman—he was really, really drunk, and there wasn’t a lot of security. As I was walking off the field he gave me the greatest compliment that anyone has ever given me. In that drunken stupor, he said I reminded him of the old days, of George Best. I grabbed him and said, “You’re coming with me.” I used him as an excuse to get away from the field, to get to my locker and celebrate. I brought him into the locker room as if he was my long lost uncle and I gave him a beer. [Coach Laurie] Calloway walks into the room and I hear this voice screaming, “You were a bum as a player and you’re a bum now, Calloway!” I look over and there’s the guy sitting in my locker, yelling at my coach. I said, “All right, that’s it. You’ve gotta go.” Calloway asked me, “Who is that, your Dad?” I was like, “I’m sorry, he seemed like a nice guy.”

That's hilarious. When keeping it real goes wrong.

Really epitomized the Mickey Mouse tag ...along with the shootouts and the countdown clock.

I lost it reading about the TB Mutiny logo

I told them, “I don’t get this [Tampa Bay] ‘Mutiny’. What’s with the symbol?” They said, “Oh, it’s a mutant bat.” “Okay, what does that have to do with Mutiny?” “You know—Mutiny, mutant.” I said, “Those are two different words with completely different meanings. They just share some letters. What are you doing?”

I love that Lalas picked which team he went to by the bar scene.

Thanks for that, rekindled some memories, I'm proud to say.
