Marco Terminesi Named MISL Player Of The Week
Written by Tim Hayes
Former 
Minnesota Thunder player Marco Terminesi was named the Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) player of the week after his nine-point performance this past Saturday evening. Terminesi scored 3 goals (including one 3-pointer) and had two assists in the Milwaukee Wave’s 27-6 thrashing of the Philadelphia KiXX. Terminesi had a slow start to the season with only one goal in his first three games before the floodgates opened this past weekend. Expectations are high for Terminesi who tallied 52 points during the 2008 indoor campaign, in which he earned rookie of the year honors for the now defunct Xtreme Soccer League (XSL).
Affectionately known as the “M-Train” to supporters of the Minnesota Thunder, Terminesi burst onto the outdoor scene mid-way through the 2009 season in which he tallied 6 goals and 4 assists in only 17 games. Terminesi joins three other former Thunder players in the MISL. Johnathon Greenfield and Rod Dyanchenko currently play for the defending champions, Baltimore Blast. Greenfield anchors the back line for the Blast and has one 3point goal to his credit off of one shot. Dyanchenko continues to look for form, after a disappointing 2009 with the Thunder. Dyanchenko has failed to find the back of the net in the Blast’s first three games of the season. The other Thunder player is Leo Gibson who was lined up on the opposite side of the field as Terminesi on Saturday evening. Gibson showed well for the Philadelphia KiXX scoring in the fourth quarter. That brings Gibson to 5 goals for the season. Gibson spent his summer playing for the Cleveland City Stars who like the Thunder have now folded.
All four players are currently out of contract for the 2010 outdoor season as the Minnesota Thunder released their players from their contracts earlier this fall; Cleveland released their players before Thanksgiving. Many local fans hope that Terminesi, Greenfield and Gibson are near the top of the list for player acquisitions for the new team rumored to be announced in the coming weeks by the National Sports Center.

Philadelphia loses all respect for having the single worst franchise nickname outside the XFL. I mean, seriously, just add the other X and make it all porn all the time.
Oh, and nicely done M-Train. Hopefully there’s a spot for you on one of two potential teams playing at the NSC next summer.
Nathan, What is this other perspective team playing at the NSC next year. I thought I was on top of this but only know of one team that will be playing there and that will be the NSC team?
Real United City FC?
Drinky Crows?
Or, are people still grasping at the possibility of the Thunder playing? There is no chance of this happening. The lady has sung. The train has left the station. Stick a fork in them.
Minnesota Voyageurs!
BTW…
that comment wasn’t meant to be rude towards the Thunder or former staff who have invested a lot in our community. It was meant to lay this idea of two second division teams and/or a 2010 “thunder” season in Minnesota to rest.
