Mark Liveric
American soccer player
Mirko "Mark" Liveric (Croatian: Liverić; born August 16, 1953) is an American retired soccer forward who spent eight years in the North American Soccer League and seven in the Major Indoor Soccer League. He also earned sixteen caps, scoring three goals, with the U.S. national team.
NASL
Liveric, a native of Croatia, began his U.S. soccer career with the New York Cosmos in the North American Soccer League (NASL). He spent the 1974 and 1975 seasons with the Cosmos. On January 31, 1976, the Cosmos traded Liveric to the San Jose Earthquakes for cash. Liveric's one full season with the Earthquakes was his most productive. He scored ten goals in twenty games, adding nine assists. This led to his selection as a 1976 Honorable Mention NASL All Star. While Liveric began the 1977 season with the Earthquakes, the team traded him to the Washington Diplomats after only two games. He then appeared in fifteen games, scoring only two goals with the Dips before moving back to California to the Oakland Stompers during the off season.

Why this record matters
The phrase “american soccer player” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 18, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q6768621. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1953, 1974, 1975 and 1976.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
