New Kids in the World Cup: The Team That Changed American Soccer Forever

Adam Elder recounts the unlikely story of the young United States men's team that qualified for the 1990 FIFA World Cup and helped lay the foundations for modern American soccer. Drawing on extensive interviews and research, the book follows the players through hostile qualifying matches, limited resources and a sporting culture that had yet to embrace the world game.
