No time like a cool September night to send out a clear playoff warning.

Defending summer champs Compulsive Calcio may have ceded the first game and thus much of the regular season to head honchos Tutto Bene, but that all changed in a staccato heartbeat this week in the wake of a huge 4-2 win led largely by striker Eric Furtado and yet another heroic performance from keeper Serge Harboain.

And yet for all the semblance of the classic two-titan race, the B1 Division rankings can be deceiving. Compulsive Calcio, essentially undefeated in 10 games, still hasn’t been able to solve Mighty FC, a distant third and long shot at first glance.

So while it’s still defending B2 summer champs Tutto Bene who loom large, the Compulsive crew best fear the Black Swan as well.

LOOKING AHEAD TO WEEK 12 …

The FC Styfes will get their last regular-season shot at Art du Soccer this Sunday.

RDPeters will have one last go at undefeated Los Angelos FC in B4 Division action Monday night. Then on Tuesday, it’s the Champers who will look to send Lady X a message ahead of their highly probable championship showdown.
