STARTING OFF STRONG, CRUNCH WIN REGULAR SEASON OPENER!!

Ft. Wayne, Indiana The 2025 Major League Indoor Soccer has started off more or less the same for the Cleveland Crunch. In winning fashion. This past Saturday the Crunch opened up their regular season on the road against the expansion Summit City United out of Indiana. Unfortunately for the United it was a bad introduction into the MLIS having to face the defending champs. The entire night showed why the Crunch were and are the most dominant professional indoor soccer team in the country over the last 4 seasons. For those not in the know, The Crunch have won 2 league titles in four years since their return in 2021. Not only that, the Crunch have also arguably the best total team and coach in the country. How do I know this? Simple, Saturday night The Crunch had their foot on the gas and never let up. "Man of the Match" Admir Suljevic scored 5 goals, four of them in back-to-back quarters. Cancar, Csiszar, Wolanski, and Najar all joined in on the fun to ma...

A SPECIAL TIME!!! 2021 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME RECAP!!

~Canton, Ohio~ If you would have told me ten years ago that I would have been sitting in the press box at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium covering the 2021 Pro Football Hall of Fame induction ceremony, I would have told you " you're crazy"! Fast forward to 2021 our company the 216 Sports Network was approved for media credentials to cover the induction ceremony. To say we were overjoyed is an understatement. I have lived in Cleveland, Ohio all my life. Never had I been inside the stadium, but Sunday night I took it all in as I arrived at the hall of fame. From other media crews to the fans and even the kind staff members. This was an experience that EVERY football fan should have on their bucket list. To answer the question, Yes I was in the press box. That still didn't take away the beautiful view of the stadium and stage as fans filled every seat. Fans from all over the country and even the world came together for one weekend and celebrated the induc...

I-71 ON THE LINE!!

This weekend the season series between the Crunch and Swerve will be one of the more exciting games this season in the MLIS, and with divisional and playoff races heating up in all three divisions the last three games of the regular season should be highly exciting and entertaining. Although the Crunch dominate the all-time series (5-1 currently) you can tell that the rivalry between both cities is there. The Crunch will look to bounce back from taking their first home loss since returning to play in 2021 against Grand Rapids FC back on Feb 25th. You can also bet your last dollar they will continue to keep dominance and avenge their first loss of this season to Cincy back on Dec. 10th. There is good news and bad news for the Crunch as far as playoffs are concerned. Bad news- The Crunch lost the division lead to Grand Rapids. Good news- The Crunch can Possibly still win the division(with some help) and make the playoffs if they continue to win the last three ga...
