International and indoor

10

The MISL is dead. Long live the NISL, which has four of the old MISL's nine teams and will maintain the three-point line along with ties to U.S. Soccer.

That sets the NISL apart from the PASL, which is the U.S. representative of a movement to establish "arena soccer" or "futbol rapido" as a sport wholly separate from the outdoor game.

Indoor soccer league sets initial teams

4

While we're waiting for the League Formerly Known as the MISL to announce its 2008-09 plans, we have formal plans from the PASL, the league that's part of the movement to establish indoor soccer as its own sport, wholly separate from the outdoor game.

The eight U.S. teams are in Dallas/Fort Worth (but not known as the Sidekicks), Stockton (Calif.

It Was Twenty Years Ago Today…

But it wasn't Sgt. Pepper teaching the band to play; it was the fat lady singing for one of the historic names in American soccer. On July 8, 1988, the Chicago Sting threw in the towel after 10 outdoor seasons in the NASL and four more* indoor after that in the MISL. We have a tendency to [...] Click to continue reading...

Another Convulsion rankings

1. New England Revolution - Matt Reis makes his case as the top goalkeeper in the league.
2. Houston Dynamo - DeRo and Chingy have found their scoring groove again.
3. Chicago Fire - Sputtered to a road loss while a man up on DC United.
4. LA Galaxy - Can never have a safe lead - not the way this defense gives up goals in a flash. Click to continue reading...

REPORT: MISL Folds, Futsal Opportunity?

0
As many of our readers may know by now, the single-entity Major Indoor Soccer League disbanded on Saturday, 31 May. The investor/operator of the New Jersey Ironmen franchise cited much-needed structural revamping in order to "ensure the financial health and stability" of a new indoor league planned for this fall.

Many people don't like USA Today. Some who deem the paper to be a shallow read call it "McPaper". Others purchase it only for the purpose of providing their butler with something to shine their shoes on; these people are called "sailing enthusiasts". So as they are not soccer fans...screw 'em.

Matt Caution, MISL Soccer Update

11

So I was being queried as to why I don't provide coverage of Indoor Soccer on this site, or more specifically, Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) coverage. It is surprising, given that one of my earliest introductions to the sport was as a season ticket holder for the inaugural St Louis Steamer's squad that included Carl Rose (pictured coaching a Springfield SC youth team), one of The Finest ball players I've ever had the pleasure of rooting for.

Ironbound to Ironmen: ESC Invades Newark

You see those glistening mounds of slow roasted deliciousness? That is what I like to call 'perfect'. It's actual nom de meat is prime rib and it comes straight off the roasting spit and on to your plate at any Portuguese or Brazilian bbq joint worth it's salt.

MISL Talks Albany Expansion

1


Albany, New York is a city I know precious little about. I have driven through it numerous times on my way to Montreal and have noticed that the skyline is made up of buildings that resemble the British Parliament, a smooshed egg, and several 30 story tall PS3's. Oh and I remember that on that show 'Night Court' Dan would always have to drive to Albany at the last minute for some reason. Click to continue reading...

MISL on FSC, List of Least-Obscure MISL Players

I meant to mention this earlier today but I was, you know, doing my job. The MISL's first broadcast of thier new FSC deal is on tonight. So if you're not drunk in public, working at a bar serving people who are drunk in public, or have not been arrested for being drunk in public you should tune in.

If you're wondering who plays in this league other than Tony Meola I've got a little something-something for you. Click to continue reading...

Tony Meola still a solid keeper

1
Former US national team keeper Tony Meola has been named Goalkeeper of the Week for the Major Indoor Soccer League.

This award might not be as impressive as his MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in 2000, but it still nice to see Tony is still out there saving shots. Click to continue reading...

Take the Party Inside: Meola Rules in 1st Ironmen Game

For those of us that where too wrapped up in the playoffs over the weekend to notice, the world kept turning. Some things that happened while you were drunk due to the jubilance of victory or the depression of defeat were the Red Sox winning the World Series, Obama was involved in some gay drama and the MISL season began.

And the Goalkeeper of the Week award went to Big Tony from Jersey. Click to continue reading...

Expansion: Even the Indoor League is Getting in on the Act

MLS ain't the only league hoping to ride a wave of expansion fever straight to the bank. The MISL is looking to fatten up it's coffers as well with talk of a new club in Louisville (which I am told is pronounced "Lou-uh-vul"), KY. The club would be a tenant of the new downtown arena along with the Fire of the Arena Football League and U. Click to continue reading...
