Haji Wright’s path to the World Cup made a memorable start on Long Island.   Wright, the United States forward who had been discussed in recent days as a potential fill-in for Folarin Balogun before Balogun’s red-card suspension was nullified, was a rising 17-year-old talent when he joined the New York Cosmos in 2015. The club made famous by Pele in the 1970s glory days of the North American Soccer League was briefly revived during the NASL’s second act in the 2010s, based at Hofstra’s facilities in Uniondale.
