Pele watches Cosmos win
The New York Cosmos launched their reincarnation with a 2-1 win against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers on Saturday as Brazilian legend Pele and other members of the club's 1970s heyday looked on. A sell-out crowd of 11,929 packed the stands at Hofstra University for a festive occasion that was a far cry from the outfit's golden era when crowds of 40,000 regularly flocked to Giants Stadium.
