Geoffrey Douglas is the author of "The Game of their Lives." It is the account of how a rag tag team comprised of first generation Americans represented the US at the 1950 World Cup. The American team defeated the English- the greatest team at the time- against 500 to 1 odds. The film version of The Game of their Lives is in theaters now.
