In 1967 — a decade before Pelé, 30 years before MLS, and 56 years before Messi — the United Soccer Association resurrected professional soccer in the United States. The 12-team league, made up of transplanted international clubs, including English side Wolves, was in many ways the birth of the modern American soccer movement. It changed everything.
