North America is a continent entirely within the Northern Hemisphere and almost all within the Western Hemisphere. It can also be considered a northern subcontinent of the Americas. It is bordered to the north by the Arctic Ocean, to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the west and south by the Pacific Ocean, and to the southeast by South America and the Caribbean Sea.
North America covers an area of about 24,709,000 square kilometers (9,540,000 square miles), about 16.5% of the earth's land area and about 4.8% of its total surface. North America is the third largest continent by area, following Asia and Africa, and the fourth by population after Asia, Africa, and Europe.
In 2013, its population was estimated at nearly 565 million people in 23 independent states, or about 7.5% of the world's population, if nearby islands (most notably the Caribbean) are included.
North America was reached by its first human populations during the last glacial period, via crossing the Bering land bridge. The so-called Paleo-Indian period is taken to have lasted until about 10,000 years ago (the beginning of the Archaic or Meso-Indian period). The Classic stage spans roughly the 6th to 13th centuries. The Pre-Columbian era ended with the arrival of European settlers during the Age of Discovery and the Early Modern period. Present-day cultural and ethnic patterns reflect different kind of interactions between European colonists, indigenous peoples, African slaves and their descendants. European influences are strongest in the northern parts of the continent while indigenous and African influences are relatively stronger in the south. Because of the history of colonialism, most North Americans speak English, Spanish or French and societies and states commonly reflect Western traditions.

NASL: Soccer Bowl '79
The History of NASL Soccer League Kin 210
The quirky, sometimes-reviled NASL method of deciding games tied after regulation and overtime, where five players from each team would take turns going one-on-one with the other team's goalie. ABC made a particular mess of its coverage of this one from 1980 at RFK Stadium between the Cosmos and Washington Diplomats. Note the clock.
Press Conference January 16th, 2012 at JW Marriott downtown Indianapolis. Pro soccer is returning to Indianapolis.

NASL Commissioner Bill Peterson is to be in attendance at the news conference. The Indianapolis team is to begin play in 2014. http://www.indyprosoccer.com
For all soccer fans everywhere. This is the full broadcast of the 1977 North American Soccer League championship match, Soccer Bowl 77, which was between the New York Cosmos and the Seattle Sounders. The match was held at Civic Stadium (now known as JELD-WEN Field) in Portland, Oregon. This match is significant because it was Pele's last competitive match as a player. He helped give the North American Soccer League the boost of credibility it needed when he signed with the Cosmos in 1975. This match was televised by the independent TVS network, with Jon Miller and Paul Gardner providing the commentary. For those wondering, it's the same Jon Miller from the ESPN baseball telecasts.

At last...the definitive highlights compilation from the 1973 North American Soccer League title match. On August 25, 1973, 18,824 fans filed into Texas Stadium in Irving, Texas to watch their Dallas Tornado--1971 NASL champions--take on the expansion Philadelphia Atoms. Dallas were heavily favored: besides having experience, the home side also had the NASL's leading scorer, American rookie Kyle Rote, Jr. Also, the Atoms would be without their two top scorers, as league commitments found loan players Andy "The Flea" Provan and Jim Fryatt recalled the Southport for the English season. Nevertheless, American-born coach Al Miller started six native born players in his lineup (an unheard of number at the time), including never-used defender Bill Straub at forward for the absent Fryatt. Al...

Watch: https://youtu.be/QenAgIvQb3M Enjoy: Growing up in a country where there is a professional football team on every corner it seemed weird not having one in my home town. Edmonton did try it several times before but it's not been until this new North American Soccer League that sustaining a team has been viable. Here I try to show to anyone not aware that Canada has a thriving duo of lower league teams and that the experience may not have the Messi's and Ronaldo's of the world. But it's unique and enjoyable in its own light. Music: Heavy Action by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/lic...

The North American Soccer League (NASL) is a professional men's soccer league with ten teams in the United States and Canada. It is sanctioned by the United States Soccer Federation (U.S. Soccer) as the Division II league in the American league system, under Major League Soccer (MLS) and above USL Pro. Its headquarters are in New York City. The league is named for, but has no connection to, the original North American Soccer League. The modern NASL was founded in 2009, and began play in 2011 following a 2010 season that saw NASL and USL teams play in a combined temporary Division II league. The number of franchises is now at ten, with some teams coming and going, but the league plans to expand in 2014 and 2015. This video is targeted to blind users.

Rochester Lancers vs NY Cosmos (1977 NASL Playoffs) 1st playoff game in Rochester, NY August 21, 1977 Lancers 1 - Cosmos 2
The New York Cosmos started a soccer revolution in the 1970s, bringing international stars such as Pele, Beckenbauer and Chinaglia to America. The Cosmos packed Giants Stadium and won five championships before the NASL went under and the dream ended. But in the 2009 the all-new North American Soccer League was launched, and in 2013, the New York Cosmos were reborn. What happened next is the stuff of legend, and ONE World Sports tells the story in "RISE OF CHAMPIONS: The 2013 New York Cosmos."

In what many consider to be the greatest match in the history of the original North American Soccer League, this is ABC's broadcast of the second leg of the 1979 National Soccer Conference final between the Vancouver Whitecaps and the defending NASL champion New York Cosmos. This match was held at the now-demolished Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Vancouver had taken the first leg of the NSC final in Vancouver by a score of 2-0. For the Cosmos to advance to the Soccer Bowl, they would have to win this leg, then win a 30-minute 'mini-game' after that. This video shows the first half of the match. The announcers calling the match are Jim McKay and Paul Gardner, with Verne Lundquist on the sideline. This video is intended for entertainment purposes only and no infringement...

not american, barely north american. ten thousand years of history (but hey, who's counting anyway?) dissolved and forgotten in just over five hundred. hold on man, let me check my notes. two continents chock full of people can be destroyed and gone unnoticed? are you kidding me? survival should be based on fairness, not fitness. and just remember that as three hundred million sing 'this land is your land' we scream 'basta ya'. this country is still wet to the touch, saturated with greed conquest and blood⦠conveniently stuffed under the rug. this may be overdue: fuck you. a different time? well that can't replace the countless cultures that have been erased. established in 1492, i'm not american.
