The origin story of the Cougars is one of the most intriguing untold stories in Detroit sports. In an effort to bring professional soccer to the United States following the 1966 World Cup, the Cougars were one of 12 founding members of the United States Association (USA), a national league comprised of teams imported from Europe and South America. The international teams were chosen to represent different cities across America, with Glentoran selected to play as the Cougars.

They've done incredible things up there. As they keep telling us. And telling us. And telling us. When they are not telling us how badass they are for being contrary and preferring to watch college kids play seven times a season.
