Many believe that soccer's popularity in the United States is a recent phenomenon, that Pele introduced the sport to the U.S. market. Soccer has in fact enjoyed a long and illustrious history in this country. This book examines American soccer from the 1860s up through the 1999 Women's World Cup and the 1999 MLS season. Entries are present for the many professional and semi-professional leagues that have existed since the 1890s and their great players, teams, and coaches. Important cup competitions, national teams, and major international competitions are also noted. Over two hundred individuals who have contributed to American soccer - coaches, players, administrators, and referees - also have entries. The perfect reference resource for sports scholars, but is also of interest to the ardent soccer fan.

Roger Allaway, a resident of Abington Pennsylvania, is a copy editor at the The Philadelphia Inquirer and former president of the Society for American Soccer History. Colin Jose is the historian of the National Soccer Hall of Fame and the author of numerous books on soccer subjects. He lives in Hamilton, Ontario. David Litterer is an office manager at the University of Massachusetts and the administrator of the American Soccer History Archives website. He lives in Brattleboro, Vermont.
