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. I know a lot of people out there don't give the indoor game a look, but with the off-season doldrums due to set upon our grass-stained souls might I suggest a trip to your local arena for some hot (literally) indoor action.
Being that we're in the midst of MLS playoffs and have less than 4 weeks of outdoor soccer action left I am already dreading the off-season withdrawal. I don't get tremors or shakes like someone who's trying to detox or whatever, but I do get bored with watching overseas games on TV. Sure the EPL and La Liga have amazing players with amazing skill. But there is just something so detached about it; after you spend so much time in the stands for your local side it just seems so far away.
I know precious little about the MISL and I may sound crazy for saying this but I think I'd rather gather up a bunch of dudes, get some beers in and be really loud at an indoor game than wake up at 7am on Saturday to watch some random Euro clubs.
But that's just me...some have a one-night stand while others would prefer phone sex .

That is a very interesting analogy - yeah, I'm with you..let's go get stupid at a live (indoor) match over some very remote team.
But, then again..I think that is why some people prefer phone-sex, they don't have to get personal.
fat man in a little goal!
You can also get a bunch of dudes together, get some beers in and be really loud at a bar at 7 the am to watch a soccer game. Good times to be had all around.
Around here the indoor game caters to kids and their families so there is nothing appealing about going to an MISL game unless you enjoy middle age idiots trying to talk about soccer (okay, if you watch FSC you're used to that), kids screaming in your ear and jumping over your legs for a damn t-shirt and people asking if this the league Beckham plays in. This crap isn't tolerable no matter how much beer you have in you. I hear other cities are different but that's only because they don't have anyone who goes to the games at all. The only game I would go to would be the one against Big Tony, but I'm working when he comes to town.:(
Samantha. Post of the year.
And I'm still goin'
let's do it, i'm in. i mean i'm sure the atmosphere isn't as good as lets say our local, (which is limited but still fun), but why not. i mean if i wanted to get abused ay 7am i'd go to smith's. let me know when you're hooking it up.
