Solo chi l'ha visto in campo dal vivo, può raccontare il giocatore, l'estro, la smania di trascinare tutti i suoi compagni verso traguardi inimmaginabili. E stato più di una bandiera. E stato un motivo di orgoglio, un atto di riscatto nei confronti delle super potenze calcistiche. E' stato un urlo liberatorio. Giorgio Chinaglia è il grido di battaglia! Testo di Alessandro Moscè. Montaggio e voce a cura di Fabio Bernacconi

På 70-tallet bygger Lazio et av Italias mest beryktede lag. De går rundt med revolvere, stemmer på fascistene og slåss både med andre og hverandre. Så splittet er stallen, at de deler garderoben i to soner. De melder seg på i kampen om tittelen, mye takket være Giorgio Chinaglia, en karismatisk kraftspiss som verken mot- eller medspillere klarer å temme.

It's another bucket-list conversation with one of Tim's favorite players from the legendary New York Cosmos of the original North American Soccer League - defender extraordinaire​ (and de facto club keeper-of-the-flame) Werner Roth.   A childhood émigré of his native Yugoslavia in the mid-1950s, Roth spent the bulk of his youth in New York City - cutting his semi-professional teeth in the heavily ethnic, regionally competitive and historically influential German American Soccer League with German-Hungarian SC - where he eventually caught the attention of the new local NASL expansion franchise in 1971.   Roth joined the Cosmos the next year as one of its precious North American players, helping the club secure its first-ever league title and quickly establishing himself as a reliably solid defensive back whose presence could be counted on - especially as the team's ambitions grew.   By 1977, Roth had become captain of a high-wattage international superstar lineup featuring the likes of Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer, Carlos Alberto, and Giorgio Chinaglia - winning back-to-back Soccer Bowl titles and a global following.   We talk about all of it - plus Roth's time on the US National Team, his role in the cult classic WWII soccer movie Victory, thoughts on the current state of soccer in the US, and the potential for a Cosmos television miniseries in the not-so-distant future.

In this episode we've got John Battsek. He is the producer of the documentary film Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos. We get a behind the scenes look at what it was like to make the film, and we hear about how the perspective of different players often looked different from one another. On this episode: ● How David first found out about Once in a Lifetime. ● What attracted John to the project of making a movie about the Cosmos. ● The influence of the Cosmos playing Chelsea in 1978. ● John's preference to be in involved in many aspects of the film. ● Players that didn't participate in the making of the documentary. ● Giorgio being portrayed as villainous in the film. ● The different views that different players have of the team's history. ● Why the production of Once in a Lifetime was unique compared to other projects. ● Why the 1970s is the era of the NASL that people are most interested in. ● The NASL-style shootout and why John didn't think it worked. ● Other soccer projects that John has been involved with. ● Jay Emmett's sense of humor and his significant role in Cosmos history. ● The branding of the Cosmos and why it helps. ● Players that may have felt hurdled over in the team's history. ● The effort to make indoor soccer popular in the US. ● New York's blackout in 1977 and its effects on the Cosmos.

Det var som att befinna sig i världens centrum och samtidigt närma sig världens ände. Sommaren 1977 var New York en fattig, farlig, färgsprakande metropol. Stadens finanser hade kraschat, en seriemördare gick lös och ett enormt strömavbrott svepte in allt i totalt mörker. Plundringar, bränder, hedonism. Från ena hållet växte hiphopen, från andra hållet kom punken, i mitten glittrade fortfarande discot. Det var apokalyps, det var karneval - och det var fotboll. Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer, Giorgio Chinaglia och Carlos Alberto spelade för New York Cosmos, och 80 000 fyllde Giants Stadium för att titta på. De var dåtidens Galacticos, de var showbiz, samtid och Studio 54 - och de verkade faktiskt vara på väg att erövra USA.

Giorgio Chinaglia un eu la grand malheur de quitter sa sélection pour des mauvais terme avec son sélectionneur nationale et sa malheureusement sa à été perçu comme une très grand trahison par de nombreux tifosi.

Your humble host does his best this week to tamp down his inner fanboy as he sits down for a bucket-list conversation with one of his favorite players from the legendary New York Cosmos of the original NASL - winger extraordinaire Steve Hunt ("I'm With the Cosmos: The Story of Steve Hunt").   Abruptly transferred into the star-studded orbit of North America's burgeoning super-club at the tender age of 20 from his hometown (Birmingham) England First Division Aston Villa side in the spring of 1977, Hunt unwittingly arrived just in time to grab a seat on the rocket ship breakout season that vaulted the Cosmos into the stratosphere of soccer not only across the US, but also worldwide.   Joining an array of international greats like Franz Beckenbauer, Carlos Alberto, Giorgio Chinaglia, and the incomparable Pelé, the speedy Hunt quickly became an instant sensation and vital offensive cog - not to mention a huge fan favorite - for a Cosmos unit that would soon break records both on and off the field, including an iconic MVP star turn in the club's historic Soccer Bowl '77 championship-winning match.   While he only played three seasons in Gotham, Hunt was a crucial component of NASL championships achieved in each of them (1977, 1978 & 1982) - a springboard to a triumphant return to England's top tier and national team caps.

The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out for another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps and Major League Soccer chat.The Whitecaps end of season post mortem continued this week as the club held their end of season availability this week with some player, head coach Marc Dos Santos, and Sporting Director/CEO Axel Schuster. We bring you some of the most pertinent sound bites from Schuster and unpack what he said.What came across was something of a lack of ambition from the club and perhaps some naivety thrown in as well in a number of areas. Or was it just the stark reality of where the 'Caps sit in MLS right now? There's a big difference between just making the playoffs and being competitive once you get there.Could this current squad really make the playoffs next year without any additions? Which areas are pegged for upgrading this offseason? Will it be enough? We look at all of these topics and a lot more.We also hand out some more end of season awards, look ahead to the MLS playoffs that get underway this week, pay tribute to Tony Waiters, and a former NASL legend, Giorgio Chinaglia features in this week's Wavelength.Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode:05.42: Tony Waiters Tribute11.44: Axel Schuster end of season sound bites27.47: Unpacking Axel - where's the ambition?55.56: Unpacking Axel - making the Whitecaps great again76.59: More AFTN End of Season Awards96.30: Wavelength - Giorgio Chinaglia - (I'm) Football Crazy101.47: MLS playoffs preview

We close out an amazing second season of episodes with a special year-end conversation featuring the US pro soccer pioneer who is, at least indirectly, responsible for the creation of this little podcast.   Just weeks after signing with the fledgling New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League in January 1976, league All Star Bobby Smith (along with fellow Philadelphia Atoms teammate Bob Rigby) was already out pounding the promotional pavement in support of his new club – including (unwittingly) a stop at host Tim Hanlon’s then-elementary school in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey to hand out recreational league trophies and sign autographs.  The seeds of life-long pro soccer fandom were quickly sown, soon blossoming into an obsession with America’s most famous and successful franchise – and, over time, morphing into an enduring fascination with professional teams and leagues across all sports which, like the Cosmos and the NASL, ultimately came and went. Defender extraordinaire Smith joins the podcast to discuss his remarkable American pro soccer career before, during and after winning back-to-back NASL titles (1977, 78) with the Cosmos – including: Winning his first league championship with the inaugural 1973 Philadelphia Atoms; A skills-enhancing off-season loan to Irish first division side Dundalk in 1974-75; Playing alongside world’s-best talent like Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer, Giorgio Chinaglia, and Carlos Alberto during his time in New York; Post-Cosmos stops with the NASL’s San Diego Sockers, Philadelphia Fury and Montreal Manic; Indoor soccer adventures with the MISL’s 1980-81 Philadelphia Fever; 18 caps with the US National Team during the 1970s; AND Induction into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2007.

One of the most flamboyant soccer players to ever play here in the U.S. was Giorgio Chinaglia. He was a star on a team filled with some of the world’s best, the New York Cosmos. He played with Pele, Beckenbauer, Alberto and so many others. And while he might not have been as skilled as them, the one thing he did better than anyone was score goals. In fact, he was, for lack of a better term, a goal-scoring machine. In 213 games in the NASL, America’s premier soccer league before the MLS, Chinaglia scored 193 goals. He led the Cosmos to four championships in five appearances. He once scored seven (7) goals in one game. And, while New Yorker’s loved him, many opponents – and their fans – despised him. He was a star in a city filled with stars at a time when the likes of Reggie Jackson ruled the roost. Before he came to New York, his career in Italy and elsewhere was anything but rosy. Kartik Krishnaiyer from World Soccer Talk returns to SFH to take a look back at one of the most polarizing players in the history of U.S. soccer – Giorgio Chinaglia.
