The Kicking + Screening Film Festival enters its 11th year with a group of independent soccer films unveiled June 4-7 at the Scandinavian House in New York City. Pro Soccer USA’s Glenn Crooks sat down with festival co-founder, Greg Lalas who gives a capsule on all the feature films.
Soccertown USA is a film that takes a close look at Kearny, NJ – the cradle of American soccer that has produced Tony Meola, John Harkes and Tab Ramos – who all grew up just a mile from each other before representing the USA together in the World Cup. South Orange, NJ resident Tom McCabe is one of the producers of Soccertown USA and he talks to Glenn about all the soccer history that Kearny has to offer – dating back to the late 1800’s.
“Kearny is a mysterious even mystical soccer place. There’s field all over town, there’s dust bowls. When you study American soccer you have to look at this as the cradle of American soccer, one of these really, really important places to our game in this country.” – Tom McCable, Soccertown USA.
