Episode 3: The New York Greek Americans #USOC 3-Peat and USMNT fails to Qualify for #Mexico70

In this episode you'll meet the NY Greek Americans, a club still in existence today that dominated and became the first club to win the US Open Cup 3 times in a row from 1967-69. We'll travel in time through the magic of newspaper articles from those famous victories at the end of the 60's. Then we'll check in on the US National Team and their short journey that really never got started in trying to qualify for World Cup 1970 in Mexico.
