Villa and Ardiles Decision: A Lesson for the US Bid

Both Ricky Villa and Ossie Ardiles spent time with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers. Villa featured prominently in the 1983 NASL side alongside among others, Brian Kidd, Nene Cubillias and Ray Hudson. Villa was such a hero among Argentine fans, I can still hear the cries of "Villa!" from the stands at Lockhart Stadium over a quarter century later.
