Especially with the World Cup in the US coming up, I'm surprised that there hasn't been a reputable sports documentary - I'm specifically thinking of 30 for 30 - about the rise and fall of the North American Soccer League. I think it would be fascinating - from stuff like trying to popularize and Americanize "soccer", to bringing in all these big names (Pele, Beckenbauer, etc.), to its eventual financial collapse. It feels like the perfect story for a sports documentary. And I think it gives a great insight to the American sports fan's psyche - like how they don't do draws, and how fickle they are. Americans suffer from delusions of grandeur (which is not just confined to sports), to the extent that they think they're actually going to win the World Cup this year. Which they 100% won't, and which I will 100% enjoy when they don't.
