What a great moment this is! I'm extremely joyful to have found this interview on VHS tape, buried in a box. It reveals very personal views of grandpa and his buddy, Arnie Oliver in the late 1980s, talking about the 1930 FIFA World Cup! The original NSHOF did a great job preserving their thoughts.

1994 vs. 2026: Alan Rothenberg compares World Cup preparations - Soccer America Alan Rothenberg was the CEO and chairman of the USA-hosted 1994 FIFA World Cup, U.S. Soccer’s president in 1990-1998, and founder of the U.S. Soccer Foundation and Major League Soccer.

"How often do you get six weeks of being on the international stage in front of billions of viewers?" For a place like Kansas City, it's "going to be great in terms of future tourism impact."

We love all of our episodes of AN AMERICAN GAME equally, but as a couple old members of the Goalkeepers' Union 🧀🧀"Lone Eagles" is a personal one.

We do a deep dive on the one position where we've produced world class talent... for 140 years!

A reminder that I have "Arkham" embedded in my name.

(not that there's anything wrong with that...)
