Major Indoor Soccer League!

Now I am not a fan of soccer at all, but I can admit to watching this format of soccer on espn every week back in the day!


In case you are not familiar with the sport, they played on artifical turf in a hockey arena usually. The glass and walls were still up all around the field and the glass was in play.

They had 6 players on the field at a time including the goalkeeper. Also, I think that powerplays were used for penalties. I dont remember everything about it, but I have to admit to watching it about 3 nights per week back when ESPN didnt show anything else on a nightly basis!


Who else is man enough to admit to watching such shit???


This is the ONLY way to make watching soccer bearable. Goals were scored every few minutes from what I can remember.



Do they still have indoor soccer anywhere?

It was huge in the early and mid 80's. I remember sitting on the top row of the meadowlands and Brendan Byrne arena and looking around. The arena was absolutely packed and alive. It was crazy back than. Now they cannot even get one third of the fans that they got from soccer to go to see a Nets game.
