Summer of ‘94 
This documentary reveals the wild rise of the US Men’s National Team on the road to the 1994 World Cup—and the history they were never meant to make. With no league and no roadmap, a ragtag group of players and an unlikely coach endured a grueling two-year training camp, hoping simply not to embarrass their nation at the first-ever World Cup on American soil. Armed with camcorders, the players documented it all, capturing raw moments as underdogs grew into future legends. Featuring never-before-seen footage and new interviews with Alexi Lalas, Cobi Jones, Tony Meola, and coach Bora Milutinović, the film shares how chaos, chemistry, and grit forged a brotherhood that changed U.S. soccer forever.  (FOX, 2026)

Episode 1: “The Hidden Game”: Despite passionate fans and Pelé's superstar arrival in the NASL, the sport stumbled and slipped from the spotlight; when the pro league collapsed in the 1980s, American soccer seemed finished; then came the 1984 Olympics and a startling success. (Roku, 2026)
