Fall 2023 Saturday 7v7 Men's Soccer at East River Park

Well, amigos del fútbol, what a season it's been down at the hallowed grounds of East River Park! This Fall, the Saturday 7v7 Men's league has delivered a pulsating, goal-filled spectacle, rich with drama and unexpected twists that have kept us all on the edge of our seats. From early September, these gladiators have graced the turf, leaving it all out on the field, and the league table is starting to take a very interesting shape indeed!

The Title Tussle: An Unbeaten Force Meets Goal Machine Might

Leading the pack, standing tall and proud, is the formidable Club Atletico Tafies! This squad has been an absolute revelation, navigating the entire season thus far without a single loss. With 23 points and a rock-solid defense that has conceded only 6 goals, Tafies has been an impenetrable wall, a true testament to their tactical discipline. They've been a relentless force, demonstrating that if you want to wear the crown, you'll have to get past their 'sweet' form!

But right on their heels, breathing down their neck, are two absolute powerhouses. First up, the magnificent UCL, who sit with 22 points. Folks, get ready for this: UCL has scored a mind-boggling 50 goals this season! Their attacking prowess is simply off the charts, putting on a clinic of clinical finishing, proving they truly play with 'U Can't Lose' energy every time they step onto that pitch. And then there are Larry’s Legends, also on 22 points, showcasing incredible consistency, a knack for stifling opponents, and truly living up to their billing as 'Legends' of the game! Their recent 6-0 demolition of Club Mid was nothing short of a masterclass.

The Chasing Pack: Pushing for Prominence

Just a few points back, we find The Super Js on 19 points. They've been playing some dazzling football, leaving defenders in their 'J'-et stream, but a string of draws has kept them from seizing the top spot. Then we have Fc Bacon, sizzling along with 17 points! While they've had a tough 8-8 draw with Saint FC—a match that truly had everything including the kitchen sink thrown in—they’ve otherwise been bringing home the 'bacon' with some truly stout defensive displays. Further down, FRANCHISE is making moves, sitting on 15 points. They are working hard, building something special, and slowly proving to be a real 'franchise' team in the making, as evidenced by their recent crucial 1-0 victory over Club Atletico Tafies!

Recent Revelations and Raging Battles

The last few weeks have provided some truly unforgettable moments. That jaw-dropping 8-8 stalemate between Fc Bacon and Saint FC on November 4th? Absolutely bonkers! Goals flying in from all angles like a broken air traffic control system. Elsewhere, UCL continued their relentless pursuit of the golden boot, absolutely annihilating Mojo Dojo FC 11-3 on the same day. Goodness gracious, what an offensive explosion!

Speaking of Mojo Dojo FC, they've been a bit inconsistent, but when the 'mojo' is flowing, they’ve shown they can deliver those knockout punches! Meanwhile, Goal Diggers are certainly digging for goals, and though finding wins is proving tougher than unearthing treasure, they did manage a respectable 2-1 loss against The Super Js recently. Finally, our thoughts go to Club Mid, who find themselves, unfortunately, in the 'midst' of a tough season still searching for those elusive first points. They’ve gone through the wringer, but the spirit of the game still calls!

What's Next, Footy Fans?

With the final matches looming and playoff positions still up for grabs, the drama is far from over! Who will emerge victorious? Will Club Atletico Tafies maintain their unbeaten streak? Can UCL or Larry’s Legends snatch the top spot? One thing is for certain: the action on the pitch at East River Park demands your attention!
