Details: Product Description In the spring of 1950, the United States was extended an invitation to compete in the World Cup in Brazil. Faced with budgetary restrictions and no official soccer team to call their own, the U.S. set out to recruit players in the soccer hotbed of St. Louis, Missouri, where they found a group of young friends with no professional or international playing experience, only an unabashed love of the game. Leaving behind their wives, girlfriends and families for New York for a short 10-day training period in which these young men from different races and religious backgrounds were forced to see past their differences to become a team. With the odds against them both abroad and at home, the U.S. team arrived in Rio with little hope. But the US soccer team wasn’t ready to give in to England, the highest-ranked team in the sport. With fate on their side, these young men worked together and played THE GAME OF THEIR LIVES, resulting in one of the greatest moments in the sport’s history.
