After 30 years off the field—and nearly 40 since their heyday in the mid-70's—the Cosmos will return to professional play this Saturday night against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers.

"Emirates views our partnership with the Cosmos as a way to thank the people of New York for making Emirates one of the world's fastest growing airlines," said Emirates SVP Nabil Sultan.

Chinaglia admitted that he was uncoachable, "That’s because I know more than the stupid coaches. That’s — how you say — presumptuous? It’s true."
