In 1974, the NSL merged with the GASL. History Much of the early history of the league remains obscure. However, in 1928 an NSL select team played Scottish club Rangers F.C. in Brooklyn. Rangers won that game 8-2. In 1941, another NSL select team toured Haiti during which it played a team featuring future National Soccer Hall of Fame forward Joe Gaetjens.
