Summer 2025 Saturday 7v7 Men's Soccer at Gantry Plaza State Park

Welcome back, footy fanatics! We’re deep into the Summer 2025 Saturday 7v7 Men's Soccer season at Gantry Plaza State Park, and what a ride it's been! The beautiful game, or as they say in Italy, calcio, has delivered drama, stunning goals, and enough upsets to make even the most seasoned pundit spill their espresso. The sun setting behind the Long Island City skyline has witnessed some truly spectacular action on the hallowed turf!

As August draws to a close, it's tighter than a drum solo at the top of the table! The magnificent Charros have been riding high, currently leading the charge with a fantastic 34 points! They've certainly wrangled up some impressive victories, including a dominant 7-3 thrashing of Mutiny FC on August 23rd and an absolute masterclass, smashing Moneybags FC 10-0 back on July 26th. Talk about a statement of intent!

Hot on their heels, with 33 points apiece, are the attacking juggernauts Wanda F.C. and the celestial Goalacticos! Wanda F.C.'s goal difference is simply wonder-ful, absolutely overflowing with goals, highlighted by their ruthless 11-0 demolition of Short Snout FC earlier this month. The Goalacticos, living up to their name with a galaxy of goals, have been equally stellar, punctuated by a commanding 7-1 triumph over Nepal on August 2nd and a crushing 10-3 win against Moneybags FC!

Don't count out Nepal either, sitting comfortably on 28 points. They’ve proven they’re not to be out-palled, often engaging in high-scoring affairs themselves, like their recent 7-3 victory over Moneybags FC on August 23rd. This isn't just a friendly kickabout; it's el fútbol, and these teams are here to win!

The last few weeks have provided some nail-biting duels and jaw-dropping results that have kept everyone on the edge of their seats! The monumental upset on August 16th saw Hard Pass FC, a team that often proves too hard to pass up an opportunity, deliver a shock 2-1 defeat to table-contenders Wanda F.C. This result injected a serious dose of adrenaline into the title chase! They followed that up with an emphatic 6-1 drubbing of FC ChiLon on August 23rd, showing they mean business.

But if you're looking for the ultimate "what just happened?!" moment, cast your minds back to August 9th. Moneybags FC, though generally struggling to cash in this season, pulled off an astonishing 6-4 victory over Queensboro FC! Absolutely unbelievable! It just goes to show, in this crazy game of fußball, anything can happen the moment the whistle blows. Queensboro FC, always aiming for a royal performance, will surely look to bounce back.

Even Aston Vanilla FC, a side that has often been anything but vanilla this season, showed some surprising bite with a 3-2 victory over Wachiturros. And speaking of Wachiturros, they’ve proven they can really rock the pitch, not just dance, with recent wins like their 3-1 defeat of Queensboro FC (Aug 2) and 3-2 over Hard Pass FC (Aug 9).

Around the middle of the pack, we’ve seen some spirited performances. Handicaps FC has certainly been giving the competition a 'handicap' for some, despite their inconsistency, proving it with a clutch 4-3 win over the Lost Boys FC, who are constantly trying to find their way against tough defenses. FC ChiLon has had their moments, not always chilling out on the pitch, with a notable 2-0 win against Queensboro FC. While Short Snout FC have been sniffing out opportunities quite well for some decisive wins, they’ve also experienced some tough losses against the league's heavyweights, as has Mutiny FC, who are ensuring they're not causing a mutiny among their fans with spirited play.

As we look ahead to September, the title race is set to go down to the wire. Every pass, every tackle, every shot on target will be absolutely crucial. Don't miss the next thrilling installment!
