"THE NY COSMOS RESISTS TO THE MODERN SOCCER"
The only club that had Pelé, Beckenbauer and Carlos Alberto playing together
closed its doors for a long time.
But they are back,
and the new Cosmos are made of TIFO,
Ultras
and the "modern soccer hate".
I'm in NYC to understand how one of the most charming clubs in the world resists to pay
millions of dollars to be part of the main american soccer league.
The old Cosmos closed its doors in the 80s and only got back in 2 013.
During this reboot, the club had to deal with different leagues and independent divisions
in the american soccer system.
Today, Cosmos is part of the NASL, which would be a second division in Brazil.
The first division would be 
the MLS (Major League Soccer).
The problem is that in USA they don't have promotion/relegation.
I told the Cosmos' CEO that this is very confusing for us as Brazilians.
The city that is breathing the soccer again now is even talking about "derbys" on the streets.
The blue side of NYC receives more investments, attention, and is making Cosmos supporters mad.
Talking to these guys, it's clear to me that NYCFC represents the opposite
of everything they still believe in soccer.
Including the social and political statements defended by "The 5 Points", as the Cosmos' fans are called.
People say that there can me only one Pelé, and it will never gonna happen again.
And perhaps the old Cosmos 
will never exist again, as well.
But the new Cosmos is showing us that can do much more for the soccer
than the old one has already done.
MANY THANKS TO NY COSMOS, "COSMOS TV"
AND YOUR INCREDIBLE COMMUNITY.
