Sunday Coed League Week 4 Recap: More Goals, More Drama, and Plenty of Bad Decisions

The Sunday Coed League at Akron Indoor Soccer continues to be the pinnacle of weekend entertainment for those who enjoy watching a mix of sublime soccer skills and outright absurdity. Week 4 did not disappoint, featuring upsets, blowouts, and one game so chaotic it’s already being heralded as a classic (or a cautionary tale). Grab your favorite beverage, and let’s relive the highlights.


Latin@s (0-3) vs Jaguars (3-1) 2 – 11

It was a jungle out there as the Jaguars feasted on the winless Latin@s. The final score of 11-2 tells the story of a game that was over almost as soon as it started. The Latin@s’ defense looked more like a group of bewildered tourists wandering through the savanna, while the Jaguars pounced on every opportunity with ruthless efficiency. Rumor has it the Latin@s have been practicing “self-love and acceptance” instead of set pieces. While that’s great for mental health, it didn’t help much against the feline fury. At least the Latin@s avoided the dreaded shutout with two late goals, one of which may or may not have been an own goal.


Wasted Talent (1-2-1) vs Arse ‘N All (0-4) 9 – 5

If nothing else, Wasted Talent proved they were slightly less wasted than Arse ‘N All in this 9-5 barnburner. Arse ‘N All finally managed to stay competitive for a majority of the game, but their defense collapsed faster than a cheap folding chair in the final ten minutes. Wasted Talent’s offense, led by one player who appeared to be powered exclusively by Red Bull and regret, ran riot with a flurry of late goals. Meanwhile, Arse ‘N All’s strategy seemed to hinge on looking busy while hoping Wasted Talent forgot they were supposed to score. Spoiler alert: they didn’t forget.


Serb Patrol (3-1) vs Team Dauberman (3-1) 7 – 5

GAME OF THE WEEK: This matchup was pure chaos wrapped in soccer cleats, and we loved every second of it. Serb Patrol and Team Dauberman clashed in a heated battle that felt more like a heavyweight title fight than a recreational league game. The teams traded goals, hard tackles, and colorful arguments with the referee before Serb Patrol ultimately emerged victorious, 7-5. Dauberman’s usually impenetrable defense fell victim to Serb Patrol’s relentless pressure, with one player pulling off a bicycle kick so audacious it deserves its own documentary. By the end, Serb Patrol celebrated like they’d won the World Cup, while Dauberman trudged off the field muttering darkly about “next week.”


[REDACTED] (0-4) vs Nameless (2-2) 4 – 11

It’s hard to pinpoint where it all went wrong for [REDACTED]—perhaps it was when they agreed to play soccer. Nameless showed no mercy, strolling to an 11-4 victory while looking like they were barely breaking a sweat. [REDACTED] managed to score four goals, all of which were met with wild celebrations that suggested they were just happy to be there. Nameless, however, treated this game as a glorified practice session, stringing together slick passes and embarrassing their opponents with an assortment of nutmegs, backheels, and one absurd lob from midfield. [REDACTED] has reportedly issued a team-wide memo encouraging players to “learn what offside is” before their next match.


Pitch Pirates (0-3-1) vs Cleats & Cleavage (3-0) 7 – 10

This game was a reminder that style points don’t count, but they sure are fun to watch. The Pitch Pirates came out swinging, scoring early and often, but Cleats & Cleavage held their composure and surged back to secure a thrilling 10-7 win. The Pirates briefly led in the second half, sparking hopes of a maiden victory, but Cleats & Cleavage’s potent attack proved too much to handle. One Pirate was overheard shouting, “Why don’t we just steal their cleats?” as their opponents added a tenth goal. While the Pirates remain winless, they earned some respect for their effort and one very confusing post-game TikTok dance.


Chill FC (3-1) vs A Really Bad Team (3-1) 10 – 3

Chill FC doesn’t just play soccer—they vibe their way to victories. Against A Really Bad Team, they made dominance look downright relaxing. With an effortless 10-3 victory, Chill FC left no doubt they’re one of the league’s top squads. A Really Bad Team looked, well, really bad, as they struggled to string together more than two passes without surrendering possession. Chill FC’s goalie was so unbothered by the opposition’s attack that they reportedly started planning their grocery list midway through the second half. A Really Bad Team will need a serious rethink if they want to keep their season from unraveling faster than a dollar-store sweater.


Old and Fancy (3-0) vs Zubri’s (3-1) 7 – 6

In what might have been the closest and most dramatic game of the week, Old and Fancy eked out a 7-6 victory over Zubri’s in a match that could have gone either way. Zubri’s brought their trademark high-energy style, but Old and Fancy’s seasoned approach proved just enough to tip the scales. The final moments were pure chaos, with Zubri’s launching desperate long balls and Old and Fancy’s goalkeeper pulling off save after save. When the final whistle blew, Old and Fancy celebrated with the subdued dignity of people who knew they had early morning yoga classes. Zubri’s, meanwhile, headed to the bar, where they allegedly demanded the jukebox play Chumbawamba’s “Tubthumping” on repeat.


Final Thoughts

Week 4 was everything we’ve come to expect from the Sunday Coed League: goals, drama, and the occasional existential crisis about whether soccer is really for everyone. With some teams hitting their stride and others just trying to survive, the league is shaping up to deliver an unforgettable season. Stay tuned next week as the madness continues!

The Sunday Coed League Post-Turkey Extravaganza: Week 4 Preview

The Thanksgiving leftovers are finally gone, the stretchy pants are packed away, and it’s time for the Akron Indoor Soccer Coed League to return with a Week 4 slate that promises goals, drama, and more hilarious missteps. The standings are starting to take shape, but as we’ve learned in this league, predicting outcomes is like trying to dribble a bowling ball. Let’s dive into the matchups and what chaos might ensue.


Latin@s (0-2) vs Jaguars (2-1)

3:30 PM: The “Spicy Redemption Bowl”

The Latin@s are still searching for their first win, and they’ll need more than salsa-inspired footwork to topple the Jaguars. Alvaro Lopez’s team has struggled to find the back of the net this season, but they might take advantage of the Jaguars licking their wounds after a shocking Week 3 loss to Old and Fancy.

Guillermo Alvarez’s Jaguars will be out for blood—or at least goals—after their uncharacteristic performance. Expect plenty of speed from the big cats and some desperate defending from the Latin@s.

Prediction: Jaguars bounce back with a 5-2 win.

Key to Watch: Will the Latin@s finally convert those fancy flicks and no-look passes into goals? Or will the Jaguars feast like it’s Thanksgiving all over again?


Wasted Talent (1-2) vs Arse ‘N All (0-3)

4:30 PM: The “Battle of the Basement”

What happens when two teams with a combined record of 1-5 collide? Absolute, beautiful chaos. Wasted Talent is coming off a respectable draw and a scrappy win, while Arse ‘N All is still searching for their first taste of victory (and possibly their defensive playbook).

Mellyssa Adams’ Arse ‘N All is an enigma: they can score goals, but their defense has more holes than Swiss cheese. Meanwhile, Wasted Talent, led by Martin Untch, has been plagued by inconsistency, alternating between flashes of brilliance and moments that make their fans facepalm.

Prediction: A 4-4 draw that leaves both teams wondering what just happened.

Key to Watch: How many defenders will end up sliding into the boards trying to stop a breakaway?


Serb Patrol (2-1) vs Team Dauberman (3-0)

5:30 PM: The “Juggernaut Joust”

Buckle up, folks. This matchup is pure fireworks. Serb Patrol, led by the clinical Ognjen Krco, will clash with the undefeated Team Dauberman, whose offense is hotter than a Black Friday doorbuster.

Cody Copley’s Dauberman crew has averaged nearly 13 goals per game and shows no signs of slowing down. But Serb Patrol boasts a disciplined defense and a counterattack that can catch even the fastest teams off guard. This could be the game where Dauberman’s high-flying act hits some turbulence.

Prediction: Team Dauberman squeaks by with a 10-8 win in a match that resembles a pinball machine.

Key to Watch: Will Krco outscore the entire Dauberman team? And how many post-goal celebrations will veer into interpretive dance territory?


[REDACTED] (0-3) vs Nameless (1-2)

6:30 PM: The “Desperation Derby”

It’s hard to say what [REDACTED] needs more: a win or a new identity. Alyssa Tarter’s squad has been the league’s punching bag so far, but don’t count them out just yet. Meanwhile, Seth Vaill’s Nameless team has been inconsistent but occasionally flashes brilliance—just not enough to make anyone remember their name.

This is a prime chance for one of these teams to turn their season around…or at least not get blown out.

Prediction: Nameless grinds out a 3-1 win and immediately celebrates like they’ve won the World Cup.

Key to Watch: Will [REDACTED] accidentally score an own goal again? It’s 50/50.


Pitch Pirates (0-1-2) vs Cleats & Cleavage (2-0)

7:30 PM: The “Upset Alert?”

The Pitch Pirates may be winless, but they’ve shown they can hang with the big guns. Kattiejean Tibbs’ scrappy crew will be aiming to shock the undefeated Cleats & Cleavage, who have steamrolled their competition with a combination of sharp shooting and even sharper trash talk.

Jamie Dean’s squad has looked untouchable so far, but can the Pirates’ scrappy underdog energy throw them off their game? Stranger things have happened (like the Pirates getting through a game without a yellow card).

Prediction: Cleats & Cleavage prevail 8-4, but the Pirates make them sweat.

Key to Watch: Will Jamie Dean add another no-look goal to her highlight reel? Probably.


Chill FC (2-1) vs A Really Bad Team (3-0)

8:30 PM: The “Game of the Week”

Don’t let their self-deprecating name fool you—A Really Bad Team is anything but. Lauren Lutikoff’s squad is undefeated and riding a wave of momentum. But Chill FC, led by Aaron Fong, is no slouch, with a balanced attack and a defense that (usually) holds its ground.

This clash of styles—Chill FC’s methodical buildup versus Bad Team’s chaotic scoring barrage—promises to be a thrilling spectacle.

Prediction: A Really Bad Team edges it 6-5 in a nail-biter.

Key to Watch: Will Chill FC’s defense hold, or will Lutikoff continue her reign of terror in the scoring charts?


Old and Fancy (2-0) vs Zubri’s (3-0)

9:30 PM: The “Midnight Masterpiece”

Two undefeated teams. One late-night showdown. Old and Fancy has been a revelation, proving that soccer IQ and experience can outmatch speed and flash. But Zubri’s, led by Radovan Pupovac, has been on an offensive tear, dismantling defenses with surgical precision.

This battle will likely come down to which team blinks first—and whether Old and Fancy’s creaky joints can survive the fast-paced onslaught.

Prediction: Zubri’s wins 7-6 in a back-and-forth thriller that leaves everyone wishing this league had instant replay.

Key to Watch: Will Old and Fancy pull off another upset, or will Zubri’s keep their perfect record intact?


Final Thoughts

Week 4 has it all: undefeated clashes, desperate teams clawing for a win, and plenty of potential for hilarious blunders. Whether you’re watching for the goals, the drama, or the occasional player tripping over their shoelaces, this Sunday promises to be another unforgettable chapter in the Akron Indoor Soccer saga.

Grab your snacks, bring your cheers (and jeers), and let the games begin!

Sunday Coed League Week 3 Recap: Dominations, Draws, and Déjà Vu at Akron Indoor Soccer

If you thought Week 3 of the Akron Indoor Soccer Coed League would calm the chaos, think again. From blowouts and defensive disasters to a rare but entertaining stalemate, Sunday night delivered another rollercoaster ride of futsal fun. Here’s how it all went down.


Team Dauberman 14, Chill FC 7

Cody Copley and the Scoring Circus Strike Again

In the Game of the Week, Team Dauberman and Chill FC were expected to deliver a close, tactical battle. Instead, Dauberman unleashed a 14-goal blitz that turned the pitch into their personal playground. Cody Copley’s squad treated the ball like a hot potato—firing shots from every angle, many of which inexplicably found the back of the net.

Aaron Fong’s Chill FC fought valiantly, even matching Dauberman’s intensity early on. But as the second half rolled in, their defense collapsed faster than a folding chair at a family reunion. Chill FC’s frustration hit a peak when one of their defenders accidentally deflected a Dauberman shot into their own net, prompting groans from the sidelines and a very vocal “WHY ME?”

Highlight of the Match: Copley completing a hat trick before halftime, followed by a celebration dance that can only be described as interpretive yoga.


Old and Fancy 6, Jaguars 2

“Fancy” Defense Trumps Jaguar Speed

What just happened? The Jaguars, who had been mauling opponents left and right, were brought to a screeching halt by the methodical, patient play of Old and Fancy. Ryan Inama’s squad may lack the pace of their younger rivals, but they showed that brains still beat brawn.

Guillermo Alvarez’s Jaguars were visibly flustered as Old and Fancy clogged up passing lanes, intercepted long balls, and used their positioning to frustrate every attacking attempt. “It’s like they knew what we were doing before we even did it,” lamented Alvarez post-match.

Highlight of the Match: The Old and Fancy keeper pulling off a diving save at full stretch—a moment that drew cheers so loud it momentarily drowned out the adjacent karaoke competition.


A Really Bad Team 10, [REDACTED] 2

[REDACTED]: Please Find a Defense

For a team named A Really Bad Team, they sure know how to dish out some serious humiliation. Lauren Lutikoff’s squad continued their improbable undefeated run, dismantling Alyssa Tarter’s [REDACTED] with a flurry of goals and fancy footwork.

[REDACTED] looked promising for the first five minutes, even taking an early lead, but their defense soon fell apart like a soggy nacho. By halftime, the only thing [REDACTED] had going for them was their very mysterious name—and even that couldn’t shield them from the scoreboard embarrassment.

Highlight of the Match: Lutikoff scoring a goal from midfield—yes, midfield—after spotting the [REDACTED] keeper a little too far off their line.


Pitch Pirates 2, Wasted Talent 2

Chaos Meets Chaos in the League’s First Draw

In a league known for high-scoring blowouts, Pitch Pirates and Wasted Talent gave us a rare gem: a draw. And not just any draw—this was the kind of match where every touch of the ball felt like an adventure.

Both teams had chances to take the win, but poor finishing, spectacular saves, and one memorable moment where a player tripped over the ball itself kept things level. By the final whistle, everyone on both teams seemed equally relieved and confused.

Highlight of the Match: A Wasted Talent defender accidentally passing to a Pitch Pirates forward, who proceeded to miss an open net. Somewhere, a soccer purist cried.


Cleats & Cleavage 19, Arse ‘N All 7

Jamie Dean’s Squad Makes a Statement

If you had any doubts about Cleats & Cleavage being a league powerhouse, consider them erased. Jamie Dean’s crew brought the fireworks, scoring a ridiculous 19 goals while showcasing more flair than an overzealous figure skater.

Mellyssa Adams and Arse ‘N All tried to keep pace early, scoring seven goals of their own, but the defensive side of their game was…well, nonexistent. By the end, the only thing “all” about Arse ‘N All was their confusion.

Highlight of the Match: Dean’s no-look assist in the second half, which left three defenders staring at each other in disbelief.


Zubri’s 10, Un-Zippers 4

Un-Zippers Still Struggling to Stay Fastened

Zubri’s remained unbeaten with a clinical dismantling of Un-Zippers. Radovan Pupovac led the charge, scoring five goals and assisting on three others as his squad cruised to an easy win.

The Un-Zippers, on the other hand, showed flashes of potential but failed to keep up with the high-pressure play of their opponents. Bobby Giebel’s squad desperately needs to tighten up on defense—pun absolutely intended—or their winless streak might become the stuff of legend.

Highlight of the Match: Pupovac casually nutmegging a defender twice in a row before slotting the ball into the bottom corner. Savage.


Serb Patrol 13, Nameless 5

Ognjen Krco Brings the Pain

The final match of the night featured a dominant display from Serb Patrol, who rebounded from last week’s loss in emphatic fashion. Ognjen Krco’s squad was relentless, pressing Nameless into mistakes and converting nearly every chance they got.

Seth Vaill and Nameless fought hard but were clearly outmatched. Their defense looked more like a suggestion than a strategy, and Krco was happy to exploit every gap.

Highlight of the Match: Krco scoring his seventh goal of the night with a cheeky backheel that drew oohs and aahs from the small but enthusiastic crowd.


Final Thoughts

Week 3 was a buffet of entertainment: blowouts, tactical surprises, and enough defensive lapses to fill an instructional video titled What Not to Do in Soccer. As the standings start to take shape, one thing remains certain—this league is as unpredictable as it is hilarious.

Who will rise? Who will fall? And will Wasted Talent ever live up to their potential? Stay tuned for Week 4!

Sunday Coed League Week 3 Preview: Unbeaten Streaks, Redemption Arcs, and the Clash of Chaos

The action heats up this Sunday at Akron Indoor Soccer, where Week 3 promises to be a carnival of goals, grit, and groans from players realizing they forgot to stretch. With undefeated teams squaring off, underdogs looking for redemption, and plenty of hilarious matchups, there’s no shortage of drama brewing. Grab your cleats, brace your sides for laughter, and let’s dive into the chaos.


Game of the Week: Team Dauberman (2-0) vs Chill FC (2-0) – 3:30 PM

In a battle of unbeaten titans, Team Dauberman takes on Chill FC in what promises to be a clash of styles. Cody Copley’s Dauberman squad is coming off a ruthless 15-goal rampage, but Aaron Fong and Chill FC have been as icy and efficient as their name suggests, dropping 15 goals themselves last week.

Expect this one to be a high-scoring thriller, with Copley barking out orders from the sideline like a drill sergeant and Fong coolly dismantling defenses like he’s playing chess on a soccer field. Can Chill FC stay, well, chill under pressure? Or will Dauberman unleash another goal-scoring storm?

Prediction: 8-7 thriller with at least one accidental slide tackle doubling as a TikTok-worthy fail.


Jaguars (2-0) vs Old and Fancy (1-0) – 4:30 PM

The Jaguars, led by the ever-charismatic Guillermo Alvarez, have been roaring through the competition. After a 12-2 mauling of [REDACTED], they’re looking to keep the momentum going against Old and Fancy. Ryan Inama’s Old and Fancy squad might not have much youth on their side, but they’ve got class, experience, and (hopefully) an assortment of knee braces.

The big question here: will the Jaguars run circles around their opponents, or will Old and Fancy slow the game down to their tempo, winning the possession battle (and perhaps a few naps in the process)?

Prediction: Jaguars 10, Old and Fancy 4. Bonus points if someone on Old and Fancy brings orange slices.


A Really Bad Team (2-0) vs [REDACTED] (0-2) – 5:30 PM

Despite their name, A Really Bad Team has been shockingly competent, boasting a 2-0 record after edging out Wasted Talent last week. Lauren Lutikoff has her team firing on all cylinders (or at least three of them), and they’re hungry to keep the streak alive.

Meanwhile, Alyssa Tarter’s [REDACTED] squad is still searching for their first win—and possibly their identity. After suffering two blowout losses, they’ll need more than redacted strategies to stop A Really Bad Team.

Prediction: 6-2 in favor of A Really Bad Team. Expect [REDACTED] to show some fight but leave with more questions than answers.


Pitch Pirates (0-2) vs Wasted Talent (0-2) – 6:30 PM

In what’s been dubbed “The Desperation Derby,” Pitch Pirates and Wasted Talent will battle to avoid the dreaded 0-3 start. Kattiejean Tibbs’ Pirates have shown flashes of brilliance but seem to lack a map to consistent success. On the other hand, Wasted Talent has lived up to their name in every frustrating sense, with Martin Untch narrowly missing a chance to turn their season around last week.

This matchup could go either way—or nowhere at all if both teams continue their trend of defensive miscues and questionable passing. Either way, it’s bound to be entertaining.

Prediction: 5-5 draw, with at least two players slipping on imaginary banana peels.


Arse ‘N All (0-2) vs Cleats & Cleavage (1-0) – 7:30 PM

Jamie Dean and her squad of Cleats & Cleavage fashionistas are fresh off a Week 2 thrashing of Nameless, and they’re ready to strut their stuff again. Meanwhile, Arse ‘N All, led by Mellyssa Adams, has struggled to find their footing—and their pride—after two lopsided losses.

This one could be over quickly if Arse ‘N All can’t tighten up their defense. If they’re not careful, they might find themselves not just outplayed but also outstyled by a Cleats & Cleavage team that treats scoring as performance art.

Prediction: Cleats & Cleavage 9, Arse ‘N All 2. Expect some post-game fashion critiques on top of the scoreboard humiliation.


Zubri’s (2-0) vs Un-Zippers (0-2) – 8:30 PM

Zubri’s have been unstoppable so far, thanks to Radovan Pupovac’s leadership and some absolutely clinical finishing. This week, they face the hapless Un-Zippers, who have yet to figure out how to keep their metaphorical pants up on defense.

Bobby Giebel’s Un-Zippers will need a miracle—or at least a functional defensive line—to slow down Zubri’s. If last week was any indication, this one could get ugly fast.

Prediction: Zubri’s 12, Un-Zippers 1. Someone please hand Un-Zippers a tactical belt.


Serb Patrol (1-1) vs Nameless (1-1) – 9:30 PM

Wrapping up the night is a matchup of mid-tier teams trying to establish themselves. Serb Patrol, led by Ognjen Krco, bounced back in spectacular fashion last week, dismantling Arse ‘N All. Meanwhile, Nameless took a humbling loss to Cleats & Cleavage and will be looking for redemption.

This game could be a grind-it-out affair, with both teams evenly matched in their unpredictability. Will Serb Patrol’s aggressive style overwhelm Nameless, or can Seth Vaill’s squad channel their inner chaos into a surprise win?

Prediction: Serb Patrol 7, Nameless 5. Expect at least one player to score while lying on the ground.


Final Thoughts

Week 3 promises to deliver everything we love about Sunday Coed League: absurdly high scores, dramatic flops, and just the right mix of skill and silliness. Whether you’re an undefeated contender or still searching for your first win, one thing’s for sure—Akron Indoor Soccer always delivers a show. See you on the pitch!

Sunday Coed League Recap: Week 2 – Goals, Glory, and Grudges

November 17, 2024, will go down in Akron Indoor Soccer history as a day of lopsided scorelines, unlikely heroes, and a lot of sore muscles. Week 2 was an all-out goal fest, featuring everything from highlight-reel plays to moments that would make a high school P.E. teacher cringe. Let’s dive into the action and relive the chaos!


Team Dauberman 15, Un-Zippers 6 – The Great Un-Zipping

The afternoon kicked off with Team Dauberman absolutely unzipping the defense of Un-Zippers in a 15-6 demolition. Cody Copley and his crew didn’t just win—they staged a goal-scoring clinic, with Copley himself contributing so many assists he started asking the ref if he could get partial credit for them.

Meanwhile, Un-Zippers struggled to keep it together (pun intended), with Bobby Giebel calling for a timeout just to locate the team’s defense, which was last seen wandering around midfield. Despite their best efforts, their zippers were stuck wide open, letting Dauberman score at will.

Highlight Moment: An Un-Zippers player attempting to block a shot with an improvised belly flop. Effective? No. Entertaining? Absolutely.


Zubri’s 7, Latin@s 2 – Salsa on Ice

Zubri’s continued their dominance, showing no mercy to the Latin@s in a 7-2 rout. Radovan Pupovac’s squad looked every bit like a championship contender, executing pinpoint passes and precision strikes that left their opponents dizzy. Even the Latin flair of Latin@s couldn’t keep up, as their salsa-inspired footwork was no match for Zubri’s clinical finishing.

To their credit, Latin@s never stopped dancing—even as the goals rained down. Alvaro Lopez managed a consolation goal late in the game, celebrating with a salsa spin so smooth it momentarily distracted the Zubri’s keeper.

Highlight Moment: A Latin@s defender attempting a no-look backheel clearance… straight into their own goal.


Chill FC 15, Pitch Pirates 10 – A Pirate’s Life for Me

If there was an award for the wildest game of the week, this would be it. The scoreboard couldn’t keep up as Chill FC and Pitch Pirates traded goals like they were on clearance at a Black Friday sale. Aaron Fong led Chill FC with a ridiculous seven goals, playing with such chill confidence that he took a sip of his water bottle mid-run before scoring one of them.

The Pitch Pirates showed incredible heart, with Kattiejean Tibbs rallying her crew to put up double digits. Alas, the Pirates couldn’t stop leaking goals on defense. Apparently, their treasure map was marked with X’s where Chill’s shots landed—directly in the net.

Highlight Moment: A Pitch Pirates player yelling, “I’m open!” and scoring an accidental header after the ball deflected off their face.


Cleats & Cleavage 10, Nameless 1 – The Fashion Statement

Cleats & Cleavage made a grand debut, and boy, did they live up to the hype. Jamie Dean’s squad absolutely dismantled the Nameless, who might want to consider renaming themselves “Goals Needed.” From the opening whistle, Cleats & Cleavage dominated possession, outpacing and outplaying their overwhelmed opponents.

The Nameless squad, led by Seth Vaill, looked like they were playing in slow motion compared to the flash and flair of their opponents. Even their lone goal came courtesy of a wayward clearance from Cleats & Cleavage, but hey, they’ll take it.

Highlight Moment: Jamie Dean executing a rainbow flick over a defender before scoring a goal so stylish, Vogue is considering featuring her in their next issue.


A Really Bad Team 3, Wasted Talent 2 – The Irony Bowl

In the battle of self-deprecating names, A Really Bad Team and Wasted Talent lived up to their ironic monikers in a low-scoring nail-biter. Lauren Lutikoff’s crew eked out a 3-2 victory, showing that they might be really bad… at losing.

Wasted Talent put up a valiant fight, with Martin Untch nearly leveling the score in the final seconds, only to trip over the ball at the most crucial moment. Both teams left everything on the field, including, it seems, their ability to aim for the corners of the goal.

Highlight Moment: A Wasted Talent player screaming, “That was in!” at a shot that missed by at least three feet.


Jaguars 12, [REDACTED] 2 – The Mystery Unveiled

If [REDACTED] was hoping to keep their strategies under wraps, they might want to rethink their approach after a 12-2 drubbing by the Jaguars. Guillermo Alvarez’s squad came out roaring, tearing through the defense like, well, jaguars.

Alyssa Tarter’s [REDACTED] team fought valiantly but seemed to spend most of the game wondering what just happened. By the second half, the only mystery left was how Alvarez managed to score six goals while smiling for the camera in every post-goal selfie.

Highlight Moment: A [REDACTED] defender yelling, “We need a new strategy!” while a Jaguars player ran past him to score.


Serb Patrol 14, Arse ‘N All 2 – Patrol Domination

Serb Patrol is back, baby, and they’ve made a loud and clear statement with their Week 2 performance: don’t mess with Ognjen Krco’s squad. They absolutely obliterated Arse ‘N All, who were left searching for their arses—and their pride—after a brutal 14-2 defeat.

Krco led by example, bagging a hat trick within the first 10 minutes, while the rest of the team put on a clinic in counterattacking soccer. Arse ‘N All, meanwhile, spent most of the game bickering over who was supposed to be marking whom.

Highlight Moment: An Arse ‘N All player congratulating a Serb Patrol goal scorer for “such a great shot” before realizing they were on opposing teams.


Final Thoughts: Goals Galore

Week 2 proved that Akron Indoor Soccer is where dreams are made, crushed, and sometimes hilariously fumbled. From blowouts to near-misses, the league delivered on its promise of fun, unpredictability, and just the right amount of chaos.

As the teams nurse their wounds and ice their knees, one thing is certain: Week 3 is bound to bring more drama, goals, and questionable decision-making. Stay tuned!

Coed League – Week 2 Preview

Welcome back, Akron Indoor Soccer fans, to another Sunday filled with kicks, tricks, and questionable fitness levels! Last week was a chaotic start to the season, and if Week 1 was any indicator, we’re in for a rollercoaster. From comeback kids to mystery teams and a couple of players who may or may not know which way they’re supposed to be shooting, here’s your Week 2 preview!


Team Dauberman (1-0) vs. Un-Zippers (0-1) – 3:30 PM

Team Dauberman, led by Cody Copley, stormed into the season with a surprising win last week, proving they’re more than just a catchy name. This week, they’re looking to stay undefeated against the Un-Zippers, who have a reputation for loosening up after the first few minutes… sometimes a bit too loose.

Un-Zippers, under the (somewhat loose) leadership of Bobby Giebel, had a tough start in Week 1, falling short in both scoring and defensive hustle. Rumor has it their goal celebrations were still on point, even if their actual goals were, well, sparse. This week, Giebel and his team are hoping to zip it up – or at least partially zip – and get their first win.

Prediction: Team Dauberman wins 4-2. Un-Zippers might have their zipper moments, but Dauberman is on a roll.


Zubri’s (1-0) vs. Latin@s (0-1) – 4:30 PM

After a solid start, Zubri’s, led by Radovan Pupovac, is ready to flex their winning muscles (and perhaps their corner-kick tactics) against the fiery newcomers, Latin@s, captained by Alvaro Lopez. Last week, Zubri’s displayed the clinical precision they’re known for, combining experience with a touch of finesse that only a team finishing 3rd last session can bring.

Latin@s, on the other hand, struggled a bit in their debut. The new squad is still finding their rhythm but promises to bring energy and Latin flair to the pitch. There’s talk that Alvaro Lopez might introduce a halftime salsa lesson to get his team into the groove – let’s hope the salsa moves are more coordinated than last week’s defense!

Prediction: Zubri’s takes it 5-3, but Latin@s wins the crowd with their moves and endless spirit.


Pitch Pirates (0-1) vs. Chill FC (1-0) – 5:30 PM

It’s the battle of laid-back names, but don’t be fooled – Chill FC is anything but chill on the field. Led by Aaron Fong, Chill FC sailed through their first match last week with a calm confidence that unnerved their opponents. Now, they’re set to take on the Pitch Pirates, who are still recovering from a rough maiden voyage in Week 1.

Pitch Pirates, helmed by Kattiejean Tibbs, is a ragtag group of soccer lovers with no allegiance to the rules of strategy. They’re new to the league but have already set a high bar for creativity, if not for goals. Last week’s outing proved they might need a treasure map to find the back of the net, but their resilience is unquestionable.

Prediction: Chill FC prevails 4-1, with Pitch Pirates stealing one last-minute goal for pride.


Nameless (1-0) vs. Cleats & Cleavage (0-0) – 6:30 PM

Fresh off a bye week, Cleats & Cleavage, led by Ms. Jamie Dean, is making their long-awaited debut. Known for their style both on and off the pitch, this team has been the talk of the league. But will their cleats be as sharp as their game? Only time will tell.

They’ll be facing Nameless, a team that has no need for flashy titles or eye-catching uniforms. Under Seth Vaill’s quiet but calculated leadership, they’ve already notched one win and are looking to double their success. With Cleats & Cleavage back in action, all eyes will be on this matchup to see if substance beats style.

Prediction: A 3-3 draw, with an impressive post-game photoshoot led by Cleats & Cleavage.


A Really Bad Team (1-0) vs. Wasted Talent – 7:30 PM

Is A Really Bad Team actually… good? Led by Lauren Lutikoff, this team surprised everyone (and maybe themselves) with an opening-week win. They’ve already started the season by proving their name might just be a clever bit of irony.

Wasted Talent, captained by Martin Untch, is making their debut this week. Known more for their love of the sport than any real physical conditioning, they’ve come to prove that “talent” doesn’t need practice (or at least, that’s what they hope). They’ll be relying on instinct, luck, and perhaps the occasional missed shot from their opponents.

Prediction: A Really Bad Team stumbles but still pulls off a 4-3 win. Wasted Talent leaves it all on the field… and perhaps their breath, too.


Jaguars (1-0) vs. REDACTED (0-1) – 8:30 PM

The Jaguars, led by Guillermo Alvarez, are on a hot streak after Week 1, where they clawed their way to a strong victory. Known for their speed and agility, they’re a force to be reckoned with. Facing them is the mysterious [REDACTED] squad, a team that prefers to keep things – including their strategies – under wraps.

[REDACTED], led by Alyssa Tarter, is coming off a tough loss and is ready to prove they’re more than just a cryptic team name. If they can’t outplay the Jaguars, maybe they’ll just keep them guessing with their shadowy game plan. Expect secret hand signals and coded cheers from the bench.

Prediction: Jaguars leap ahead with a 5-2 win, as [REDACTED] leaves the field with everyone still wondering what exactly they’re hiding.


Arse ‘N All (0-1) vs. Serb Patrol (0-1) – 9:30 PM

Closing out Week 2, we have Arse ‘N All vs. Serb Patrol. Both teams are hungry for redemption after a rocky start. Arse ‘N All, led by Mellyssa Adams, might have a funny name, but last week’s loss was no joke. They’re ready to turn things around – if they can focus on the ball rather than trading witty banter.

Meanwhile, Serb Patrol, led by Ognjen Krco, is looking to bounce back with their famed defensive tactics. Last season’s top finisher is uncharacteristically winless, and they’re itching to reclaim their reputation. It’s a battle of pride, tactics, and likely a few hard fouls.

Prediction: Serb Patrol locks it down with a gritty 3-1 victory, restoring their status while Arse ‘N All debates whether their name is bad luck.


And there you have it, folks – your full slate of Week 2 matchups at Akron Indoor Soccer!

Bring your best cheer, a sense of humor, and maybe a couple of band-aids because Week 2 promises more action, drama, and surprises than a penalty shootout. Stay hydrated, bring the snacks, and remember: it’s all about the love of the game (and maybe a little bit about winning).

Sunday Coed League Recap: Akron Indoor’s Premier Chaos

Ah, the Sunday Coed League at Akron Indoor Soccer: where questionable athletic prowess meets questionable team names. This week’s matchups proved once again that if you come for the soccer, you better stay for the laughs. With a lineup of teams as diverse as the results, fans were treated to everything from stunning goals to, well, stunning fails. Let’s dive into the highlights (and lowlights) from this wild Sunday slate.


A Really Bad Team (1-0) 11 – 2 Arse ‘N All (0-1)

The name “A Really Bad Team” is either an ironic masterpiece or the most misleading moniker in the league. This group hit the pitch and played like pros, trouncing Arse ‘N All with an astounding 11-2 victory. Word on the field was that Arse ‘N All’s primary strategy—tackling anyone who looked like they might be scoring—was simply no match for A Really Bad Team’s shockingly competent offense. The game became a mini-masterclass in ball control and teamwork, with “Bad” looking pretty darn good by the final whistle. Rumor has it Arse ‘N All was last seen browsing for tutorials on “How to Soccer” while wiping away tears.

Jaguars (1-0) 9 – 6 Serb Patrol (0-1)

The Jaguars took on Serb Patrol in what can only be described as a “festival of attempts.” The scoreboard might say 9-6, but for most of the game, it felt like a high-speed game of keep-away punctuated by a few goals. The Jaguars seemed to embrace a “shoot first, aim later” strategy, which miraculously paid off as they hit their target enough times to keep Serb Patrol at bay. Serb Patrol, for their part, did a commendable job keeping up, only faltering in the final minutes when the concept of “defense” seemed to briefly escape them. By the end, they were simply out-pounced by the ferocious Jaguars, leaving with a hard-earned loss but a newfound respect for random acts of goal-scoring.

Nameless (1-0) 10 – 7 Pitch Pirates (0-1)

Nameless managed to secure a 10-7 win over the Pitch Pirates, who proved they could steal anything except a victory. Nameless, living up to their mysterious branding, used their anonymity as a weapon, weaving in and out of defensive lines as though they were… well, nameless. Meanwhile, the Pitch Pirates were as scrappy as any marauders of the pitch, only occasionally stopping to wonder aloud if perhaps “soccer skills” should be their next treasure. The 10-7 finish was full of twists, turns, and one particular play that involved a series of confused passes in front of Nameless’ goal that left the crowd wondering if the Pirates had accidentally swapped jerseys with their opponents.

Team Dauberman (1-0) 17 – 2 [REDACTED]

There’s losing, and then there’s losing. It’s hard to call what [REDACTED] did “playing soccer” so much as it was “participating in a public humiliation exercise.” Team Dauberman took full advantage, delivering an utterly brutal 17-2 smackdown. Dauberman’s players seemed to score at will, slicing through [REDACTED]’s defense as if they were dodging traffic cones. Fans (and, at one point, even the referee) started counting out loud after Dauberman’s 12th goal, just to see if they could keep up with the breakneck scoring pace. [REDACTED] is expected to hold a team meeting next week to discuss the “concerning issue” of both scoring and defending.

Old and Fancy (1-0) 10 – 1 Latin@s (0-1)

Old and Fancy: the team that knows how to look good while crushing your dreams. The stately squad didn’t let their age (or love for a good cardigan) slow them down as they dismantled Latin@s 10-1. Like a fine wine, Old and Fancy only got better as the game went on, methodically racking up goals while Latin@s struggled to keep up. One spectator claimed that Old and Fancy’s goalie seemed to be finishing up a Sudoku puzzle in between the rare shots on goal. Latin@s gave it their best, but this was Old and Fancy’s game through and through. If they keep playing like this, they might just have to upgrade their name to “Elderly and Elegant.”

Wasted Talent (0-1) 4 – 10 Zubri’s (1-0)

Wasted Talent and Zubri’s brought a mix of energy and chaos to the field, though Zubri’s ultimately took control and won 10-4. Wasted Talent’s defense was… well, wasted, and Zubri’s took full advantage. Spectators were treated to a colorful display of acrobatic saves, unexpected goals, and at least one player’s regrettable attempt to head the ball that ended in an unintentional backflip. By the end, Wasted Talent had lived up to its name, with a final score that confirmed that yes, some talent was definitely wasted here.

Un-zippers (0-1) 6 – 10 Chill FC (1-0)

The Un-zippers took on Chill FC, though in retrospect, they might have benefited from zipping up the gaps in their defense. Chill FC lived up to their name, taking it easy while methodically racking up a 10-6 win. The Un-zippers, not to be outdone, managed to put up six points, though it was unclear if these were goals or just a result of Chill FC’s intermittent napping on defense. By the end, Chill FC jogged off the field with smiles on their faces, while the Un-zippers wandered off, hoping their defense would show up in time for next week’s game.


Final Thoughts

It was a day full of big wins, bigger losses, and enough on-field mishaps to keep the fans coming back for more. Akron Indoor Soccer’s Sunday Coed League promises more laughs and lopsided scores next week, as these teams continue their pursuit of both sporting glory and awkward post-game pizza.

Sunday Coed League Game Previews

Ladies and Gentlemen, brace yourselves for an epic Sunday at Akron Indoor Soccer! The smell of stale sweat and the sound of soccer balls slamming against walls set the scene for a day of fierce competition, friendly (and not-so-friendly) rivalries, and enough drama to fill a season of reality TV. With everyone hoping to avoid slipping on their own shoelaces, let’s dive into this week’s matchups!


A Really Bad Team vs. Arse ‘N All – 3:30 PM

On paper, it’s a battle of the underdogs, as A Really Bad Team and Arse ‘N All (last season’s 9th and 11th place finishers) face off. Led by the enigmatic Lauren Lutikoff, A Really Bad Team is looking to redefine what “bad” means. Rumor has it they’ve been working hard to move from “bad” to “mediocre,” with dreams of breaking into the top eight.

Meanwhile, Mellyssa Adams’ Arse ‘N All has been polishing up their… well, arses. This game promises to feature more missed shots than goals, but hey, everyone loves an underdog story, right? Perhaps both teams will surprise us and break the 0-0 tie streak that plagued them last season.

Prediction: A Really Bad Team takes it 3-2… if they remember to tie their cleats.


Jaguars vs. Serb Patrol – 4:30 PM

Hold onto your popcorn for this one, folks – it’s the Game of the Week! The Jaguars, led by the indomitable Guillermo Alvarez, finished 2nd last session, right behind Serb Patrol. This showdown could be the early-season indicator of who will dominate this time around.

Ognjen Krco’s Serb Patrol is known for their relentless defense and their mysterious pre-game rituals (word on the street is they sacrifice a pizza to the soccer gods for good luck). Will they be able to contain the speed and finesse of the Jaguars? Or will Alvarez and his feline crew claw their way to victory?

Prediction: A nail-biting 5-5 tie, ending with both captains shaking hands and a mutual promise to “settle this in the playoffs.”


Nameless vs. Pitch Pirates – 5:30 PM

If you’re a fan of newcomers with questionable team names, look no further! Pitch Pirates, led by Kattiejean Tibbs, are a motley crew of soccer vagabonds who’ve finally found a home. Their chemistry may be lacking, but their enthusiasm is contagious – or maybe that’s just from the pirate hats they wear to games.

On the other hand, Nameless, led by Seth Vaill, enters this season with a point to prove after finishing 5th last session. Vaill has a chip on his shoulder, and his team’s name may be lacking, but their grit is undeniable. They’re hoping to make the Pitch Pirates walk the plank in their debut game.

Prediction: Nameless with a 4-3 victory, with one Pitch Pirate accidentally scoring an own goal in the chaos.


Team Dauberman vs. [REDACTED] – 6:30 PM

Ah, the matchup that shall not be named. Led by Cody Copley, Team Dauberman finished a respectable 6th last season, and they’re looking to improve. Facing them are the mysterious [REDACTED] squad, headed by Alyssa Tarter, who finished 10th.

We’re not quite sure what to expect from this matchup, as both teams have been shrouded in secrecy. Will Dauberman’s players actually show up this week? Will [REDACTED] reveal the meaning behind their cryptic name? One thing’s for sure: someone is bound to accidentally hit the scoreboard.

Prediction: Team Dauberman squeaks out a 3-2 win, but it’s the fans who’ll win with all the rumors and conspiracy theories.


Old and Fancy vs. Latin@s – 7:30 PM

Two new teams face off in what promises to be a clash of cultures and styles! Old and Fancy, led by the sophisticated Ryan Inama, reportedly plays with an “old school” style, preferring passes over long balls, finesse over brute force, and sipping tea at halftime (okay, maybe not the last one).

Meanwhile, Latin@s, led by Alvaro Lopez, are rumored to bring flair, passion, and possibly a dance party to every match. With no prior history in the league, they’re ready to make a big first impression.

Prediction: A 4-4 fiesta that ends with both teams heading to the nearest taco stand to bond over the beauty of the game.


Wasted Talent vs. Zubris – 8:30 PM

New to the league, Wasted Talent is a team with potential… or so they claim. Led by Martin Untch, they’re hoping that talent alone will carry them through, even if conditioning won’t. Will they live up to their name, or prove that they’ve got what it takes?

Standing in their way are Zubris, the seasoned squad led by Radovan Pupovac, who finished 3rd last session. Zubris brings experience, cohesion, and a reputation for being absolutely ruthless with corner kicks.

Prediction: Zubris wins 5-3, as Wasted Talent learns the hard way that “talent” and “practice” go hand in hand.


Un-Zippers vs. Chill FC – 9:30 PM

In the final match of the evening, we have Un-Zippers going up against Chill FC. Led by Bobby Giebel, Un-Zippers finished 7th last session, though they’re known more for their wild goal celebrations than their actual goals.

Facing them is Chill FC, captained by Aaron Fong, who are ready to prove that their 4th place finish last season was no fluke. Known for their relaxed (but deadly) playstyle, they’re the team you underestimate at your peril. Plus, rumor has it they bring their own boombox to play chilled-out tunes during warm-ups.

Prediction: Chill FC takes it 6-4, leaving Un-Zippers to “zip it up” until next week.


Cleats & Cleavage (Bye Week)

Last but not least, Ms. Jamie Dean’s Cleats & Cleavage are on a well-deserved bye week. Expect the sidelines to feel a little less glamorous without them. Rumor has it they’ll be scouting their competition this week… or just enjoying a pitcher of margaritas at the nearest pub. Either way, they’ll be back and ready to steal the spotlight next week!


So there you have it, folks – your full Sunday lineup at Akron Indoor Soccer! Lace up, hydrate, and remember: it’s all fun and games until someone pulls a hamstring.
