Three Generations of American Soccer History George Brown and James Brown
Many people think American soccer started with Beckham's arrival, with Messi Mania, or if they're being really generous, Pele and Cruyff and Beckenbauer of the NASL.
In this episode, you will learn a very different, and extremely fascination, version through the lens of the Brown family.
Interview with James Brown, Author of "Mud, Blood, and Studs" and VP of SASH (Society for American Soccer History) and his father, George Brown, who played for the US in the 1959 Panamerican Games, the American Soccer League of the 1950s, and was on the executive committee of the National Soccer Hall of Fame. George is the son of James "Jim" Brown who played on the 1930 US National Team at the first ever World Cup, and played for Manchester United and Burnley, among other clubs in the UK, throughout the 1930s.

very good , you deserve more views and subs , greetings from Portugal , Lisbon
@@SHAK.v1 thank you for your kind words! I appreciate you.
Please make a video about Portimonense Sporting Clube (in the 1st District Division), we have nothing to do with the team that plays in the Portuguese second league, in fact we have different managements... The team in the 1st District Division belongs to the club and is loved by the fans, the team in the 2nd Portuguese League belongs to the SAD, which is nothing more than a company and is hated by the fans!
Wow this sounds like a very similar problem that Olhanense had. I would love to return to the Algarve someday and learn more about Portimonense Sporting Clube, as well. Thank you for watching, my friend.
Great video n content.
@@Jokesonyou75 thank you for watching!!
Simple how do you get a ticket when thousands of scousers can't. Ynwa your staff got abandoned during COVID and your club tried to abandon British football to join there own greedy league. Special. Ain't it.
As much as Sporting try saying otherwise, Olhanense were never Portuguese champions. They won a Campeonato de Portugal title, a competition that was the predecessor to the Portuguese Cup. The Portuguese League began in 34/35.
Lyer! Campeonato de Portugal 1921 - 1938 it was the competition back then who define National Champion of Portugal ... The Portuguese League start at 1938/39!
@@68guerreiro Not, it was not. Were the winners of the FA Cup considered English champions before the creation of the league? This was never a discussion until a few years ago, a former Sporting president, Bruno de Carvalho, decided to change history. No one, not even Sporting, Olhanense or Marítimo fans considered that winning the Campeonato de Portugal meant being national champions. You're calling me a liar? The whole thing was even voted just a couple of years ago in the Portuguese FA and the Campeonato de Portugal remained a separate competition, even thought it should've been added to the Portuguese Cup. And why am I saying this? Well, because official documents from the 30s said so, but people pretend they don't exist. Let me just quote those documents: "Por virtude da reforma a que se procedeu no Estatuto e Regulamentos da Federação os Campeonatos das Ligas e de Portugal passaram a designar-se, respectivamente, Campeonatos Nacionais e Taça de Portugal. O Campeonato da 1ª Liga, passou a ser Campeonato Nacional 1ª Divisão, e o Campeonato da 2ª Liga obteve a designação de Campeonato Nacional da 2ª Divisão". Who's lying now? Even the trophy of the Campeonato de Portugal and the Taça de Portugal are the same!!! The only reason why Sporting came up with this story was because Benfica was about to double their league titles. Currently, the 4th tier of Portugese football is called Campeonato de Portugal; does that mean that the winners are also national champions? Benfica: 38 Porto: 30 Sporting: 20 Belenenses: 1 Boavista: 1 That's the only truth (scroll down): www.fpf.pt/pt/competicoes/futebol/masculino/liga-nos/vencedores www.fpf.pt/pt/Competi%C3%A7%C3%B5es/Futebol-Masculino/Ta%C3%A7a-de-Portugal-Generali-Tranquilidade/Vencedores Be proud of your real history instead of having minority complexes.
@@ItsJustAka This bunch of phrases it's just rethoric! I remember when in the 90's benfica and porto cooked it! The "Champions of Experimental" Portuguese League (benfica 3 and porto 1) beetween 1934 and 38 NEVER was recognized ... untill then. It´s a fact! 20 years before BdC talk about it. And the referendum was one more farse. The corruption it's enought to Gave/give extra Titles to those 2 Mafia Style Organizations (FCP and SLB)! And the fact FPF called Campeonato de Portugal to a 4th tier Competiotion it was to erase ... real one!
That is not truth. They made an experimental league to test a new league format. They made 4 different leagues regionally to determine the final teams to compete for the national championship in a knockout phase. Only when the experiment finished a few years later they adopted the league format to make the official national championship and the knockouts were left only for the portuguese cup. So why is a team that won a regional championship to qualify for knockouts be considered national champions? That makes it 4 national champions in one year. There are documents from that time stating clearly how the change happened and how many titles each team had, documents from the portuguese federation. Just long years after they decided to make new documents contradicting what they said before and no one ever questioned that again. Imagine your grandfather played at the time (for any team) and became national champion, after winning the knockout phase with the teams qualified from the regional championships (which at the time was what is considered national champion) to then 20 years later someone decide that actually since they had now a league phase, the national champions were the winners of the league phase as well and not the winners of the competition in itself. Its like in 10 years champions league becomes a league competition only and they consider previous champions the winners of the current league phase and not the ones who will the final.
From that very same perspective, then English champions only count from the time the Premier League was created

Once upon a time I lived on Alroy Road. One side of which is now part of Anfield Stadium. I didn’t need to go into the stadium to know how Liverpool were doing in the game. The noise told me. Great times. My old house no longer exists. It’s been subsumed into Anfield.

Tienes razón cuando dices que para Racing fue un titulo especial la sudamericana 2024. Ser de Racing es una especie de herencia familiar en Argentina, y es un club inmenso para la historia del futbol rioplatense. Asimismo es un club que fue muy golpeado por pésimas administraciones con una quiebra de la cual se salió gracias al apoyo y trabajo de los hinchas. Previamente el club también pasó por una sequía de títulos nacionales de 35 años (1966 a 2001) con descenso de categoría incluído en 1983. Es decir de campeones del mundo a la B. Una de los recuerdos mas lindos que tengo fue el día que lo vi campeón por primera vez en la cancha de Vélez (27/12/2001) y se cortó esa pésima racha. Para que te des una idea de la debacle así y todo hasta la década del 80 fuimos el club argentino con mas títulos. Racing Club volvió. Gran video. Felicitaciones.
Muchas gracias compañero 🙏🙏🙏
