Through a rich tapestry of never-before-seen archival footage, animation and expert interviews, THE BILLION DOLLAR GOAL delves into the decades-long journey that defined American soccer. It shines a spotlight on the numerous setbacks, failed attempts to spark interest and the enduring dedication of players, coaches and fans who never lost faith in the beautiful game.
The documentary narrates the history of American soccer – celebrating its resilience, its road to redemption and the promise of its bright future. It’s a tale of passion, heartbreak and triumph.
“Today, American sports fans are more aware of the rising profile of soccer in this country than ever. But no one really knows what it took to get to this point or the role that crucial goal and World Cup qualification played in it all,” co-director and editor Anthony J. Cortese said in a statement. “There was no bigger cheerleader or authority on the game’s journey in this country than Grant Wahl, and from the very beginning he was the natural and perfect voice to help tell this story.”
THE BILLION DOLLAR GOAL is co-directed by CBS Sports’ Pete Radovich alongside Cortese. Wahl sat down with Radovich in a wide-ranging 150-minute interview in August 2022 that serves as the backbone for much of the docuseries’ content and direction before Wahl’s passing in December 2022.
