List of New York Cosmos seasons

I am nominating this for featured list because I have made it to the standards of my other featured soccer lists (see Luton Town F.C. and follow the links). – Cliftonian the orangey bit 09:43, 20 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment – Just one quick one: the all caps in note 4 should be removed.  Giants2008  ( 27 and counting ) 22:22, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay. – Cliftonian the orangey bit 23:22, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Comments from WFC

Nice job overall, and I like what you've done with the general references.


 * I'm not sure how best to do this without unbalancing the list, so I'll leave this open-ended. But I'm wondering if there needs to be something on the league structure, particularly between 1976 and 1980. Regional divisions followed by playoffs to decide the national champion is simple enough to cotton on to. But when you throw conferences into the mix, the typical non-US football fan might not grasp it naturally.
 * I've included the Conferences under the play-offs. I think that it's clear that the "regular season" refers to division, and that anything after that is regarded as "post-season". It's a fair point, though. – Cliftonian the orangey bit 03:48, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think the table copes well. Like I said, it's not something I can put my finger on. Maybe it's just the fault of the NASL for making what is effectively a localised league --> regional knockout --> East vs West Championship game sound more complicated than it really is. I think we're on the same page, but I'll leave this visible in case someone else has an idea. —WFC— 05:15, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay. – Cliftonian the orangey bit 05:26, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Support, with the proviso that if someone else raises a concern over the playoff structure, a footnote or similar is added. —WFC— 22:48, 2 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Support my concerns addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:38, 14 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Support no major issues from me: though I think 'points' in the table should itself link to something explaining the points system, not just the top-scorer heading.  Harrias  talk 23:22, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, done. – Cliftonian the orangey bit 23:27, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
