D1 Summary:
In an exciting first week, there were plenty of thrills and spills. Bel Air beat local rivals, Alizee Lyonnais 2-1 with Van Nistelrooy scoring a brace, after Trezeguet had gave FL debutants, Alizee, the lead. Having had a tough opening season in the FL, and only just fighting off relegation, this was the perfect start for Bel Air. Victory over the impressive newcomers will give them confidence for the season ahead.
The London Lions snatched victory over Galaxy FC with a late winner from Roy Makaay. The Dutchman came back to haunt old club, Galaxy, with a blistering finish past German keeper, Timo Hildebrand. That was after Gilardino opened the scoring with a scrappy finish and Robben had replied with a neat finish from a Lampard pass.
Meanwhile, recently promoted, Newton Heath, got the better of Norway Utd with Ronaldo's 76th minute volley proving decisive. GWP started the season the way they ended last year in the League, with another convincing victory. The 4-0 scoreline was a repeat of their opening fixture last season when they beat an understrength Castellon. Torres continued his rivalry with Valdes with 2 well taken goals. Wayne Rooney and Nigel de Jong were the other scorers. Castellon got off to a far better start this season with a dominant 3-0 win over Umbrella Inc. which will send out a warning to the rest of the League.

Summary:
The undoubted game of the week was between Rangers Casuals and Merseyside USA, which finished in a 2-2 draw. In a free flowing game which resembled a basketball match, rather than a football match, Preki took the lead through Luca Toni. Salomon Kalou skinned fellow Brazilian, Dede, on the right wing before whipping in an inch perfect cross which Toni had no hesistation in firing away. Just minutes later, RC drew level, Van der Vaart playing in Martins, who proved far too quick for Mertesacker and he slotted the ball under the body of Morgan De Sanctis. The game continued to go end-to-end with Leo Franco and De Sanctis on top form. Villa was denied twice by the Italian, but when Del Piero chipped the ball into his path in the 62nd minute, Villa made no mistake as spun past Mihailjovic and smashed the ball into the left corner of the net. Once again, the lead was short-lived, Amantino Mancini raced down the right flank and was spotted by Maxwell, who sprayed a 60 yard pass across field into the path of Mancini, who's first touch allowed him the space for a shot on goal, which he drove across the body of Leo Franco and into the back of the net. Both sides had several more chances to pick up all 3 points, but a draw was a fair result, with both sides looking strong contenders for promotion.
On the issue of promotion, Chacarita certainly cannot be under-estimated. Lionel Messi and Ricardo Quaresma looked almost unstoppable, as they inspired their team to a superb 3-0 win over Top Gunners FC. Iniesta, Wiltord (2) and Messi the scorers for the impressive Chacarita.
The Barmy Army upset former pre-season favourites, FC Clockwork Holland, with a 2-1 victory. The Barmy Army aren't a team that many will enjoy facing, looking very resolute in defence, and with the attacking qualities of the likes of Pablo Aimar and Adrian Mutu, they will not be easy pickings and could be a surprise package this season. Diego Forlan got the first in a goalmouth scramble, when Mellberg failed to clear. Adrian Mutu added a second soon after, with a wonderful curling finish from a sliderule pass by Aimar. Didider Drogba pulled one back for Clockwork late on, but the victory never looked in doubt.
The remaining two Division 2 games unsurprisingly ended in draws. Dimitri Berbatov looked to have won the game for Asgard with his 73rd minute header, but Robin van Persie managed to level proceedings in the 88th minute with a ferocious left foot drive from the edge of the penalty area. Diego had a chance to win the match for Asgard in stoppage time, however Jose Reina pulled off a terrific one handed save to earn DJ's elite a point.
ROP have had a troubled off-season period, having changed manager twice. However, this did not seem to disrupt the team early on, as they took the game to Rafa FC. Their hard work payed off, when they took a deserved lead early in the second half through Ludovic Giuly. The team failed to hold on however, confusion between Nowotny and Lehmann allowed Vagner Love a sniff at goal and he audiaciously chipped the German keeper to draw Rafa FC level. Vieri missed a golden opportunity in the final minute of normal time to win the game for R.O.P; Karimi sublimely dribbled past 3 of the opposition and crossed the ball left footed, Vieri met the ball with a firm header but could not direct the ball on target.
