Miami 1-0-0-12 1-0-0-00 By DAVE BROUSSEAU Staff Writer MIAMI The bleaker the outlook, the better the Fort Lauderdale Strikers play.

Steve Kinsey scored his second goal of the game on an assist from Miguel Muchotrigo only 29 seconds into the second overtime to give the Strikers a 2-1 victory over the Miami Freedom Saturday night at the Orange Bowl. Kinsey has five goals in five games this season, including exhibitions. He has 27 goals in 30 regular-season Strikers games. "The attitude on the team is great tonight," said Kinsey. "We were a man down and played like champions.

Every player was magnificent." The Strikers lost a player when John Clare, who was playing his first game since knee surgery, was ejected at the 4:34 mark. 'Clare received a red card when he tackled a Freedom player on an apparent breakaway. I The victory was the second for the Strikers (2-5). Both have come when playing shorthanded. They defeated Tampa Bay 1-0 on May 30, also on a Kinsey goal and also with 10 players.

The Strikers' victory avenges the 1-0 loss to the Freedom on June 13. "Steve played a great game," said Strikers coach Thomas Ron-gen. "His scoring ability is the reason we brought him here to Play. "Winning the way we did tonight was fantastic. We remained positive even though we were playing with a man down." i The Freedom applied pressure in the second half with the man advantage, forcing the Strikers to pack in the defense.

"He's very excited." Blast owner Ed Hale said this week that he believes "it may be too late," even though people "are working like crazy" to keep the MSL alive.

"I don't like losing at anything and I'm keeping an open mind," Hale said. "If we have six teams, the Blast will play." In Cleveland, Crunch owner George Hoffman is at the opposite end of the spectrum. "My gut feeling is that there will be a league," he said Thursday. "I can't guarantee it, but I have friends I talk to, confidences I can't betray, that make me think it looks good." At the league offices, Foreman and deputy commissioner John Borozzi were on the phone nearly all day Thursday, trying to find some way for the five-team league to survive. "I wouldn't disagree with Ed," said Foreman, who also wouldn't disagree with Hoffman.

"Everyone has a right to an opinion. But I won't guess, and Ed's guessing." The one thing everyone does seem agreed on is that a decision must be made Monday during the 3 p.m. conference call. The $350,000 letters of credit on deposit from each team roll over for the new season Wednesday. Each owner also agrees Monday's decision will be based on what Foreman has to tell them.

Just what that will be? Stay tuned. Foreman says he still is trying to resuscitate the St. Louis franchise. He is also carrying on conversations with several television networks. By SANDRA McKEE The Baltimore Sun I In three days, the Major Soccer League will hold an afternoon conference, and Commissioner Earl Foreman said he believes league owners will make a final decision about the coming season.

Whether that decision will be to continue the league or to close shop is unclear even to the men who will make the decision. Darrell Rolph, managing partner of the Wichita Wings, said stoically: "We're in business until we're not. All I can do is wait and see. In the meantime, we're selling season tickets (3,300 so far)." In Dallas, managing partner Gordan Jago said owner Don Carter has informed his team there will be a Sidekicks team there for at least the next two years whether there is an MSL or not. Dallas is a 1994 World Cup site, and Carter has determined the city will have a soccer team.

"It's ironic that after being the team that has struggled most for existence through the years, we are now the one team that has a future no matter what," Jago said. "But what league will we be playing in? We hope it's the MSL. But we won't know until Monday." San Diego Sockers owner Oscar Anciera Jr. has been working on assembling an indoor all-star team from Mexico that would provide the league with a sixth team. It would play the entire season on the road.

Anciera could not be reached Thursday, but Jago said the San Diego owner is upbeat.
