So we’re gonna take it back to a golden age that we look back on with misty eyes and longing wisps of nostalgia. The ’90s. Some of you might cringe at the thought of Garanimals, Hypercolor, rollerblades and hummel shorts but don’t forget about the dizzying heights reached by American culture and sports during this time. Rap music was never better, arguably one of the greatest generations of professional American athletes were at the top of the game, and perhaps most appropriately, it was the second renaissance of American soccer.

Following the retirement of Pele and the subsequent dissolution of the NASL due to waning interest soccer again fell into a dark age during the ’80s. But in 1990 all of that changed with the US qualifying for the World Cup for the first time in 40 years! After our performance there was a resurgence of interest in the sport and as part of the deal for hosting the ’94 World Cup we saw the creation of the MLS! Let’s celebrate all the hard work that our 1990 World Cup put forth as we bask in the glory that is Def Jef & DJ Eric Vaughn’s tribute to the team, “Victory.” If I had to define glorious for someone I would just point them here:

Right here, you cannot fathom this majesty.

As we said, positively glorious.
