Alright, footy fanatics, settle in! What a glorious Summer 2025 campaign the Thursday 7v7 CoEd league at Pier 40 has been, delivering drama hotter than a pitch in July! As we barrel towards the business end of the season, the beautiful game continues to serve up surprises, goals, and enough tactical intrigue to keep every gaffer on the touchline guessing.
We've got a proper barn burner at the summit, folks! The Beer Bellies are currently hoisting the provisional trophy, sitting proudly atop the table with a whopping 21 points. This squad has been absolutely clinical, truly filling their opponents' nets like a freshly poured pint, and their defense has been watertight! But let's not get *too* comfortable, because hot on their heels are the Out of Shape Ballers, right there with 19 points. Now, don't let the name fool you – these are anything but out of shape. Their form has been anything but flabby, consistently showing a lean, mean scoring machine, especially their early season blitz!
Just below the leading duo, the competition is fierce for those coveted mid-table spots. We've seen some absolutely titanic struggles! The Clay Bobeebeebos, with their 12 points, have shown they can mold a formidable attack, particularly in their pair of 5-3 victories over Kicking and Screaming. In fact, if you just looked at the scoreboard, you'd think the Bobeebeebos like it a little *clay*ssic! Now, speaking of Kicking and Screaming, they've been on quite the rollercoaster ride. With 9 points, they’ve shown flashes of brilliance, capable of getting on a run and making some noise, though perhaps sometimes the 'Screaming' part comes from frustration rather than jubilation after some tough losses against the top two.
Bringing up the rear, but still fighting the good fight in this fantastic season of el futbol, is Soccer FC. While the results haven't quite gone their way, proving that sometimes, simply being "Soccer FC" isn't enough when you're up against these titans, their resilience cannot be questioned. They battled to a hard-fought goalless draw against the red-hot Out of Shape Ballers on August 14th, proving that on any given matchday, anything is possible in this beautiful game. That point was surely celebrated like a major trophy! They're still playing with heart, and that’s what this beautiful game, this calcio, is all about.
What a couple of weeks it's been! The most jaw-dropping result has to be Kicking and Screaming’s stunning 3-0 clean sheet over the previously dominant Out of Shape Ballers on August 21st. Talk about a seismic shift in the league! That was immediately followed on August 28th by the Beer Bellies laying down a marker with their own commanding 3-0 victory against those same Out of Shape Ballers. Two back-to-back regulation losses for a team that seemed invincible — this du foot league is anything but predictable, folks! With only an absolutely massive clash between the Beer Bellies and Out of Shape Ballers, and Clay Bobeebeebos taking on Kicking and Screaming left on the schedule for September 4th, the final standings are truly up for grabs. Get ready for some high-stakes fußball!
