[edit] "talks to revive the name"?
Other than a couple Cosmos fans on message boards (and Pinton himself, who has a financial interest), have there been any substantive talks to revive the Cosmos name, either for a new MLS team in New York or for the Red Bulls?
I'm not aware of any. It seems to be a classic case of what a little Internet traffic can do to skew a debate. --Chancemichaels 13:34, 25 July 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels

- Almost four months later, and nobody's been able to substantiate the claim. I'm deleting the sentence. If anybody can provide a citation, please feel free to revert. --Chancemichaels 16:25, 14 November 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels
[edit] POV
This statement is very much POV "The New York Cosmos are still the only team to have all the world's best players playing in it in a short period thats why this team will be rememberd as soccers international dreamteam." I think that although this is sort of true there are other teams that have made efforts to do the same - Real Madrid with their Galacticos policy and Chelsea with all of Abrahmovich's cash. I'm going to remove this statement because I think it is too emotive. --Wikipediatastic 13:32, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Respond at POV
The statement is correct, in the 70's the absolute star players of the world were, Pele Beckenbauer Torres Cruyf etc. they all had a chance to wear a Cosmos shirt, in recent days there are more football stars and not all of them have worn a Madrid or Chelsea shirt i am putting back that statement please lets discuss here if you disagree,
I'm 99% sure Johan Cruyff never played for the Cosmos, but only for LA and Washington in the NASL. I didn't delete it because I'm not 100% sure, but no all-time Cosmos roster I've ever seen includes him, and no Cruyff bio I've ever seen mentions the Cosmos as one of his clubs. Can anyone confirm?
