Crunch WINS!!!

I don't get it. Fast paced, high scoring and it still can't make it in the U.S. I don't get it. Hector, Zoran and Otto were some of the league's best. I miss the NPSL/MISL

Howcome nobody counts this as a real championship? Looks like it to me

Because they weren't playing in a real league. No soccer league that plays with basketball scoring is real. So there. :-P

*I* count this as a real championship. Soccer is soccer, indoor, outdoor, American type or futsal. Is basketball no longer a real league since the adoption of the three point shot?

otto fucking orf. GOD... what a shame we have no team. soccer drifts farther and farther into the rearview mirror of american sports

I was at this game!! That was like the height of indoor soccer period. Now the league doesn't even exist.

I am from Cleveland, live in Phoenix now. The way the guy behind the goal celebrated, and even the Cleveland PD officer celebrated for this title.....wow can you imagine what it will be like when the Browns, Indians or Cavs when a major sports title??

I love Cleveland!

I was fortunate to witness all three championships by the Crunch. It's a shame they are no longer in existance.

I remember watching the actual game on HTS (Home Team Sports) which is now FOX Sports Baltimore/Washington. Exciting game.

I was in the color-guard for that game. Not only that, but when John Ball threw his shin guards into the crowd, I caught one of them.
