Fall 2024 Sunday 7v7 Men's Soccer at Baruch Playground

Well, ladies and gentlemen of the beautiful game, what a roller-coaster ride this Fall 2024 Sunday 7v7 Men's Soccer season has been down at the Baruch Playground! From glorious golazos to heart-stopping last-minute winners, this league has delivered more drama than a telenovela, with every single week presenting a fresh chapter in our beloved footy saga!

The Unstoppable Juggernaut at the Top!

Folks, let's cut right to the chase because it's truly been Tucker's Time to shine at the summit! This squad has been an absolute freight train, leaving a trail of bewildered opponents in their wake with a whopping 30 points and a truly astounding +47 goal difference. Talk about a clinical outfit! Their recent demolition of Old Dogs with a 3-0 clean sheet, and that simply outrageous 9-2 drubbing of Yinz FC on November 10th, perfectly encapsulate their relentless attacking prowess and rock-solid defense. They are the benchmark!

The Epic Chase for Second Place!

Right behind our formidable leaders, we've got a titanic tussle for position that has everyone on the edge of their seats! Both Team Keel and Southgate United are locked in a dead heat with 27 points apiece, separated only by goal difference. Team Keel has shown the structural integrity of a truly championship-worthy keel all season, but they certainly took a tumble on November 17th, suffering a surprising 0-3 defeat to Smiling Friends – a result that sent shockwaves through the league! Meanwhile, Southgate United, who have been looking to open the very Southgate to glory, also hit an unexpected roadblock, a 0-3 stunner against The Elephants. These results prove that in our league, every single three points must be earned!

Mid-Table Melee & Shocking Upsets!

The mid-table has been a glorious kaleidoscope of results, with no fewer than three teams – Irmãos FC, Smiling Friends, and Shrimp City FC – tied with 15 points, and Pilimo a little head of them on 21 points! The Elephants are stomping their way through, sitting comfortably in fifth with 19 points, proving they’ve certainly left their mark, trampling over many an opponent this fußball season. Pilimo have been building a considerable pili of points, notably showing their resilience with a tight 4-3 win over Irmãos FC. And speaking of resilience, don't let the name fool you, there's nothing 'shrimpy' about Shrimp City FC's fight; their 6-0 rout of Irmãos FC was an absolute statement! Irmãos FC, playing like true brothers-in-arms, have also had their moments, like the crucial 3-0 win against Med United. While they’re called Smiling Friends, their recent 3-0 shutout of Team Keel showed they've traded pleasantries for grit, pulling off one of the biggest upsets of the campaign!

The Grind at Goal-Side!

Down in the standings, the battle for pride and points is just as fierce! Far from angelic, Saint FC are certainly not afraid to tackle for those vital points, pulling off a tight 3-2 victory over Shrimp City FC and a wild 5-5 draw against Yinz FC that had us all out of our seats! For Med United, the doc's ordered a full-court press, as they are still looking for the right remedy to climb the ladder, though their narrow 3-2 victory over The Elephants back on opening day reminds everyone of their potential. And speaking of heart, Yinz FC, always a team united and battling, are looking to forge those Y-in-Z connections on the field, fighting for every single point. As for our brave Old Dogs, proving you can’t teach these Old Dogs new tricks? Perhaps, but they’re biting back with spirit, even amidst a tough run of results! There's absolutely nothing left in the tank out on this New York pitch!
