The Cougars try to continue New Jerseys slide in New Jersey. Enrique Tovar is out for the Cougars after a red card in their previous game. Goals may be hard to come by as Tony Meola, former USA National Team goalkeeper and former MLS Keeper for Red Bull, Wizards and Metrostars mans the nets. He is a NJ boy himself and has found his way in his twilight years to the MISL. There are some notable names in this game that translate over to our current MASL. A young Mauricio Salles, Shaun David, and Dan Antonuik, lace it up for the Ironmen. The Cougars are coached by Bernie Lilavois and have Franck M'bemba, who becomes a Sidekick later on in the MASL. Watch Lazo Alavanja's three pointers in this one...one of them is a gorgeous strike in any league... Enjoy!! Tee
Also, remember that wasn't Meola's first venture into indoor soccer. He also briefly played for the Buffalo Blizzard in the NPSL.
