Start November 16
October 16, 2007 -- The
Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) and Fox Soccer Channel
today announced the "Game of the Week" telecast
schedule for the 2007/08 season. The 20-game schedule -
the most comprehensive national television coverage in
the league's seven-year history - features all U.S.-based
MISL teams appearing at least four times. Most matches
will air live on Fridays during the 8-10:00 p.m. ET
broadcast window.
"There is a high
level of enthusiasm exhibited from our Member Clubs
regarding our partnership with Fox Soccer Channel,"
commented MISL Commissioner Steve Ryan. "As we plan
for our first telecast on November 16, the discussions
with our clubs clearly indicate our eagerness to showcase
our made-for-television sport to the Fox Soccer Channel
audience."
January 2, 2007 -- Since the start of the 2006-07 season in November, the MISL's reigning Goalkeeper of the Year, Brett Phillips, has been noticeably absent. That's about to change if Phillips has his way. Phillips has spent the offseason and the first half of the current season recovering from shoulder surgery.
