For those who don't know or remember, the North American Soccer League (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Soccer_League_(1968%E2%80%931984)) or NASL was from 1968 (https://funwhileitlasted.net/north-american-soccer-league-1968-1984/) through 1984 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Soccer_League_(1968%E2%80%931984)), basically what Major League Soccer is today. In other words, it was the big, top-tier professional men's soccer league in North America.

Well, 40 years ago (https://soccerhistoryusa.org/asha/year/1984.html) this month (on October 3, 1984), the NASL held what would be its final game (https://unclemikesmusings.blogspot.com/2024/10/october-3-1984-last-north-american.html), which was the second game of the championship series, Soccer Bowl '84 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soccer_Bowl_Series_%2784) between the Toronto Blizzard and Chicago Sting.
