Even the division basement walls have ears. So what’s said of those below will ultimately echo to the very top.

“They had virtually no chance, to be so blunt,” boasted Bone for Tuna captain Michael Slattery after his boys just pounded lifeless FC Dynamo into submission, the final score 8-1. “We had almost 100 per cent ball possession, passing from the defense to the offense, back and forth.”

With Slattery already listing the favourable team dynamics for an eventual championship, both Eletto Sport and FC Azzurri will be taking such hubris seriously as each get to test their undefeated streak against the confident third-seeders in the weeks to come.

POTG: Anthony Cafaro is the man of the early-season hour. “He’s a solid defenseman, always does his job and never tries to show off. He’s always quiet on the sidelines but loud on the field.”
