Well before Major League Soccer kicked off, the North American Soccer League was at the top of professional soccer in the United States. And in 1974, three new teams joined that fold: the Seattle Sounders, the Vancouver Whitecaps and the San Jose Earthquakes.

All three teams eventually morphed into MLS clubs, and this season the trio are celebrating a 50-year milestone.

The NASL was founded in 1967 and was the first successful top-tier league in the United States. The Whitecaps, Sounders and Earthquakes were among eight teams that joined in 1974 as the league rapidly expanded. All three teams drew more than 10,000 fans a game on average.

Much like Lionel Messi’s impact on MLS with his signing last season by Inter Miami, the NASL had its own superstar join the league in 1975: the legendary Pele, who played three seasons with the New York Cosmos.

The NASL dissolved after the 1984 season and the three clubs had various incarnations in other leagues before joining MLS. But those NASL clubs became integral to the growth of soccer culture in the United States.

Sounders coach Brian Schmetzer remembered his dad playing on Sundays in an ethnic league of immigrants who brought their love of the sport to this country after World War II.

“So the soccer culture, the soccer history — I think we’re getting to a point where all of that stuff is relevant to the growth of our sport as you fast forward now into another World Cup coming and all of the excitement about these major announcements for MLS clubs,” Schmetzer said. “Again, it’s just part of the growth of our sport in our country.”

For Earthquakes coach Luchi Gonzales, the anniversary celebration this season is about pride.

“We stay connected to members of this community and people that were involved in the club when it was in the NASL days. They come by and visit and we connect and it’s so important that we remember where this club comes from and what it took from the city and all the effort over the years, of staff and players, to make it what it is today,” Gonzalez said.

A look at each club’s roots as they celebrate their golden anniversaries:

WE THE NORTH

The Whitecaps claimed the city’s first-ever pro sports title in 1979 when they won the NASL championship over the Tampa Bay Rowdies at Giants Stadium in New Jersey. Upon arrival back in Vancouver, they were treated to a parade on Robson Street that drew more than 100,000.

The Whitecaps played the first sporting event at BC Place in 1983, beating the rival Sounders 2-1 in front of 60,342 fans.

After the NASL folded, the Whitecaps joined the Canadian Soccer League as the Vancouver 86ers. That team went undefeated for 46 matches between 1988-89.

The team, which re-adopted the Whitecaps nickname in 2000, bounced around different leagues in the ensuing years. But in 2009, it was announced that Vancouver would become the 17th team in MLS, kicking off in 2011.

THE EMERALD CITY

A contest to name the new NASL team resulted in the Seattle Sounders. The runner-up, a few years before the baseball team, was the Seattle Mariners.

The Sounders hosted the first sellout in NASL history in their first season when they drew 13,498 fans to Memorial Stadium for a regular-season game against the Philadelphia Atoms.

In 1975, Portland joined the NASL and supporters of the Timbers, Sounders and Whitecaps created a trophy for the winner of the three-way rivalry that still exists in the MLS era, the Cascadia Cup.

The Sounders moved in 1976 to the Kingdome, which was also home to the NFL’s Seahawks. The first game at the stadium was between the Sounders and the Cosmos, attended by more than 58,000 fans because of Pele, who scored a pair of goals in the 3-1 Cosmos victory.

Seattle joined MLS in 2009 and won titles in 2016 and 2019.

SHAKING SAN JOSE

The Earthquakes were originally supposed to be based in San Francisco, but they moved to San Jose State’s Spartan Stadium and drew the NASL’s best average attendance in 1974.

In 1996, San Jose became one of the original MLS teams. Then known as the Clash, San Jose played in the first-ever MLS game on April 6, a 1-0 victory over D.C. United at Spartan Stadium. U.S. team star Eric Wynalda scored the lone goal.

The team went back to the Earthquakes name after the 1999 season.

In 2001, the Quakes acquired Landon Donovan on loan from Bayer Leverkusen and won the MLS Cup title. They won it again with Donovan in 2003.

“The moment you get drafted or you sign here, you walk in and you hear so much about some of the legends that played here, the great stories, the rivalry games,” said current Quakes forward Ousseni Bouda. “You can really feel the history of the club.”

Taylor Swift’s dad accused of slugging photographer in Australia during late-night confrontation

T aylor Swift’s father allegedly slugged a member of the paparazzi while the pair were out in Australia early Tuesday morning, according to reports.

The megastar’s dad, Scott Swift, has been accused of assaulting a photographer at Sydney’s ferry wharves as the “All Too Well” singer was exiting a yacht, News.com.au reported.

Local police did not confirm that it was the singer’s father, but said that a 71-year-old man allegedly assaulted a 51-year-old man at Neutral Bay Wharf at about 2:30 a.m., a New South Wales police spokesperson told the outlet.

The alleged victim, who reported the incident, did not require any medical treatment, cops added.

The pap, Ben McDonald of Matrix Media Group, told the Sunday Morning Herald that he was left with a “sore left chop” following the altercation but suffered no serious injuries.

“I was just out on the job chasing Taylor,” he told the newspaper.

“She got off a super-yacht at Neutral Bay and walked up the wharf with an umbrella over her head and a couple of security [guards] around her. Security sort of pushed us around with the umbrellas. Then her dad decided to add to the mix and throw a punch in.”

The photographer said he didn’t understand what prompted the alleged violent outburst.

“It was a shock … There was no need for it, the security had it under control,” he said. “I’ll leave it in the police’s hands now.”

Swift wrapped up her final Eras Tour performance in Sydney on Monday.

NSW Police did not immediately return a request for information on the alleged altercation.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce enjoy day out, meet koalas at Sydney Zoo as he lands in Australia

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Taylor Swift wasted no time showing Travis Kelce the sights around Sydney.

It seems as though the 14-time Grammy winner loved her visit to the zoo so much on Wednesday that she couldn’t help but take her beau to see the animals himself.

The lovebirds were seen holding hands as they got up close and personal with Australian wildlife during a private tour of the park, according to video footage obtained by Australia’s Channel 9 News .

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, whose trip follows hot on the heels of his third Super Bowl win , was spotted wrapping his arms around Swift, 34, as they walked around the zoo.

They even hand-fed some of the kangaroos and met koalas during their wholesome day out.

Swift and Kelce were accompanied by the singer’s dancers, the outlet added.

The “Anti-Hero” hitmaker cut a casual figure for the sunny day out, rocking a denim miniskirt and white sneakers.

Swift slicked her blond hair black into a messy bun that allowed her signature bangs to frame her face, and topped off her low-key look with a pair of blacked-out shades.

Kelce, for his part, opted for a navy T-shirt, patterned red shorts and white sneakers.

He accessorized with a white hat and a chain necklace.

The duo’s romantic day out marks Swift’s second time at Sydney Zoo in just two days, having visited it the day before with her entourage.

The singer has ventured out a few times since arriving in Sydney following her three-night stint of performances in Melbourne.

Swift visited Accor Stadium on Wednesday to conduct a sound check before visiting the zoo with members of her Eras Tour crew later in the day.

The singer, who was seen carrying a digital camera, is believed to have taken a particular liking to the Tasmanian devils at the wildlife park, located about 40 minutes away from the city center.

The zoo is home to more than 4,000 animals, including koalas, kangaroos and wallabies.

Earlier this week, Kelce hopped on a private jet to make it in time for Swift’s first Eras Tour show in Sydney.

She jetted into Sydney after concluding three  record-breaking performances at the Melbourne Cricket Ground  last week.

Swift has four shows scheduled in Sydney, with the first taking place on Feb. 23 and the final hurrah on Feb. 26.

FRANKIE COSMOS

Australian tour march 2017.

new york cosmos tour of australia

Handsome Tours is proud to announce the debut Australian tour of New York City four-piece, Frankie Cosmos . The band will touch down in Australia in March for Perth Festival, plus headline shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Frankie Cosmos will be joined in Sydney and Melbourne by special guests,           Wil Wagner (The Smith Street Band) and   Body Type .

Orbitting around the songwriting of 22 year-old Greta Kline, Frankie Cosmos mine the everyday banalities of youth and marry them to elegantly constructed, deeply relatable meandering alt-pop ditties. Their songs are sweet and sincere, but they are not saccharine. They invoke long, lazy, youthful summers and the addictive awkwardness of first loves. Spin asserted that Kline “recalls the legible confessionals of Kimya Dawson and the bright-eyed melancholy of Beat Happening” .

Starting as Kline’s own solo bedroom pop project, Frankie Cosmos was born of a generation of artists raised on online self-releasing. Kline’s early praise was built on an impressive, prolific catalogue of recordings, complementing her reputation within the NYC DIY scene as an all ages advocate. This cult stardom culminated with New York Magazine naming her debut album, ‘Zentropy’, the #1 Pop album of 2014.

Since then, Frankie Cosmos has blossomed into a four-piece band including David Maine, Lauren Martin, and Luke Pyenson, resulting in the globally acclaimed sophomore LP, ‘Next Thing’ (Bayonet Records/Secretly Canadian). The album received a coveted Best New Music designation from Pitchfork as well as exceptional reviews from the New York Times, Rolling Stone, and others.

Frankie Cosmos spent the northern summer touring their new record across the US and Europe, often sharing stages with fellow DIY luminaries Girlpool, Porches and Alex G. They’ve been petting dogs, making pals and getting glowing feedback for their debt mix of energy, intimacy and levity on stage. Expect whimsical but frank, entirely melodious garage pop of the finest pedigree.
