The Roots of US Soccer

Published: April 14, 2019, 9:51 p.m.

In this podcast, we talk to Brian D. Bunk from the Soccer History USA Podcast to discuss the early roots of the game in the US, the role of immigrant players - particularly Scottish and English players - and how the early American Soccer League - ASL - briefly flourished in the 1920s before fading away.

We discuss the struggle association football faced against the college game and even rugby.
