European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 10, 1994, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 32 the stars and stripes sports sunday july 10,1994 by Ken Berger they re the roughnecks the Grasshoppers and the Bluegrass bandits. They re Bankers bartenders and College kids entrusted with carrying out americans True a Miracle on grass a keeping soccer popular after the world cup packs up and leaves on Little known Fields from Radnor pa., to Chico Calif., players on 72 semipro teams in the United states inter regional soccer league Hope the world cup wave does no to get wasted. A the world cup has done More for soccer in this country than any single event Ever a said Preston Goldfarb coach of Birmingham Susil team the Grasshoppers a a it a very important that we ride that a the us isl founded in 1986 by portuguese native Francisco Marcos is supposed to evolve into a farm system for major league soccer a professional league that begins next year. Previous failures like the North american soccer league had to reach overseas for most players. A a in a going to be the Developer a Marcos Saidt a a in a not going to be the Broadway producer. In a off Broadway. If 1 do that ill have done my part and ill be a Marcos returning from the United states respectable 1-0 loss to Brazil in the world cup scoffed at those who say soccer is Boring that there a not enough scoring and that it needs a few to timeouts. A do we want to accept this sport As the worldwide phenomenon that it is or do we want to keep bashing it like we have a he said. A hopefully enough defenders have come out and said this is of. This is not just 22 foreigners in funny the us isl is addressing some of those american complaints. Each of the eight divisions experiments with different rules designed to increase scoring. The Short Corner kick occurs when the defensive team plays the Ball out of Bounds near the goal. In i commentary Stead of kicking from the far Corner the offensive team sets up much closer at the Edge of the penalty Box creating a better scoring Chance. Another change is the shootout which replaces the traditional penalty kick. Instead of breaking a tie by booting a stationary Ball past a goaltender players Start from 35 Yards out and dribble in on the keeper like a penalty shot in ice hockey. There Are also larger goals kick ins instead of throw ins and expulsions for five fouls. Fifa soccer a worldwide governing body will decide after this us isl season which of the rules if any to incorporate into major league soccer the american version of the shootout created quite a stir at a recent Grasshoppers Victory Oyer the new Orleans gamblers. It was like two boxers staggering in the final round of a championship fight. The shooter stared at the keeper and the keeper stared Back. The Small gathering of 200 fans turned into a screaming mob. Two fans wearing wigs and holding lighted torches taunted the opposing goalie while clanging wooden hammers against some old pots and pans for a moment they were As frenzied and devoted As the thousands of Flag toting band playing fans who have poured into american stadiums from All Corners of the world for the world cup. Save the keeper sprawled to Cut Down the Angle and smothered the Ball then jumped up and showed it to the shooter nodding his head and yapping. The crowd roared with approval this soccer thing Isnit so bad after All. So what a missing a we have to have players that the american peo pie can relate to like a Jordan a magic or a Larry Bird Quot Goldfarb said. A players that make kids say a i want to be like that they need soccer Marcos said that player May be out there somewhere or he May have already slipped away to the Glamour and riches of other sports. Grant Hill picked no. 3 by the Detroit pistons in the recent Aba draft played youth soccer in Reston va., before switching to basketball. Chris and Matt Bahr both longtime placekicker in the nil did no to carry their fathers soccer legacy Walter Bahr played on the . Team that posted a stunning upset of England in the 1950 world cup. Marcos said soccer heeds to keep players like that from slipping away. A a but a lot of kids say a Well in be got a real Good Chance of making a million Bucks a a Marcos said. A and they go the other us isl players do not get paid. Many Are College students some work daytime jobs. Others Are from oversees hoping someday to land big contracts at Home or maybe a shot at pro soccer in this country. Stuart Adam a midfielder for the Birmingham team who Sells corporate insurance monday to Friday said there was no incentive to try to make a living playing soccer. A if i knew there was going to be a pro soccer league where i could play i would have geared myself toward that a he said. A instead i geared myself toward getting a major league soccer the brainchild of Usa soccer president Alan Rothenberg will invite about 30 teams from the us isl to form its minor league. Rothenberg thinks the timing is right. A now indeed i think there a a launching for soccer and i think we will in time take our place with the other major sports in this country Quot he said. After the world cup Goldfarb said american soccer will a either go up in a hurry or go Down the tubes in a hurry.
