The Original Team

The Cleveland Force were one of the six charter franchises in the original MISL. The team played from 1978–1988 and was one of the better drawing teams in the league. The team folded in July 1988 when the team's owner could not get concessions from the MISLPA.


The Current Team

The Cleveland Force is a soccer team founded in 1989 as the Cleveland Crunch, a replacement for the original Cleveland Force which had folded in the summer of 1988. When the original MISL ceased operation in 1992, the Crunch joined the NPSL. This league would eventually reorganize itself as the new Major Indoor Soccer League in 2001. The Crunch would take on the old Force name in 2002.

The Unofficial Harrisburg Heat Website: Team History (1044 words)
The same was true in the second round as they lost to the eventual league champion Cleveland Crunch for a second straight year despite taking the opening game 14-13.
Their 604 points on offense gave them a tie with Baltimore for the fourth most potent offense in the 13 team league and the 516 points allowed on defense was an improvement over last year but still only good enough to be 5th best in the league.
However, history would not hold true for Cleveland as the Kansas City Attack returned the favor from last year, defeating the defending champs in a four game sweep for a championship of their own.
