A list of the foreign teams that were brought over to America for the inaugural
(and also final) season of the United Soccer Association (USA) League, and the
American cities they represented.
Our favourite ? Well Cleveland Stokers is good (do you see what they've
cleverly done there, with the name Stoke ?), but how
can anything possibly contend with the San Francisco Golden Gate Gales ?
Has there ever been a more ridiculously named football, or sports club, ever ?
Poor old Den Haag, did all the other Dutch teams pull out when they heard
what name they would be running out as ? Probably.
