Group B:

Craiova-Maxima - Beachlife 1:2
Royal FC - P1cass0 6:1
Levski Bulgaria - The Evil Looking Clowns 4:1

The Game: Craiova vs Beachlife, Ion Oblemenco Stadion
No rest for Beachlife. After defeating Levski, the English Champions now face another hard task. The Americans are in a great form and won all of their matches (according to round 3).

What a game! Both teams are equally matched and gave us an entertaining and exiting game!
After a boring first half, Craiova went into the lead 5 minutes after the break thanks to Florin Cioroianu's header. Beachlifeuk changed his team's formation and subbed two players and it made the change as his team put a lot of pressure on the Americans and equalised at the 70 minute during a corner - airkraft score the header. Beachlifeuk was forced to make another change two minutes later as Rachel Riley was injured and Bulkhead replaced her. It was worth it cause 4 minutes from time Bulkhead scored and completed the English comeback. Craiova almost equalised at the final minute but Nicolae Tilihoi's header hit the post. Aurică Beldeanu was awarded MoM.

Other matches: Brescia was amazed and lost points in Thailand with only a draw against All Spurs. Thus making Beachlife the only perfect team in this group after 2 rounds. Leski got back on track with a decisive win against ten men TELC. Royal also got first win after defeating uninterested P1cass0 who played with their 2nd team.

Group C:

Aslansaray - Northcountry Timberwolves 0:3
rene1293 - PS-NanGo 0:2
Dinamo Zaragoza - KA Barcelona 1:3
The Busby Babes - Kavalacio FC 1:4

The Game: Zaragoza vs Barcelona, Romareda
The Spanish Champions need points after the lose to Busby, however it's hard to see them getting it against the might Hungaria who are contenders to win the CL.

KA Barcelona continues to roar. It was a one sided match until the 71 minute - Christophe Kinet, Nguyễn Viết Hiển and Edward Digby made it a comfortabled lead for the Hungarians. But then Diego Maradona was injured and Klucsesz used all its subs so Barcelona were left in 10 players and Zaragoza took control of the rest of the match and pulled one back at the final minute - Jonny Banister the goalscorer. Awesome JT from Barcelona awarded MoM.

"It was an important match and a decisive win if we ant to achieve something. The tactics were good and my team showed a really good game, if my team keeps playing good like this we can beat anyone! Over the past seasons we showed that we are a well based and capable of winning the Champions League" (Klucsesz, KA Barcelona's manager)

Other Matches: Kavalacio outclassed Busby coming from behind to win in Sweden, Timberwolves also perfect after a decisve win in Turkey against Aslansaray. First points to NanGo who won in Lebanon.

FC Boom - FC GPRO 0:1
A Portuguesa de Desportos - Ghostriders 0:5
FC Future Ghosts - Hotspurs FC 0:2

The Game: Future Ghosts vs Hotspurs, Future Ghosts' Stadium
Both teams need a win in order to catch up with the leader but only one team can get it (or they'll draw). Unlike Hotspurs who is struggling in the league too, Future Ghosts haven't lost a league match yet.

Hotspurs get first points on Ghosts' expense. After a half with not events, the visitors got a penlaty right from the brake but Mauro Navarro shot it on the goalie. He ammended his mistakes 15 minutes later when he assisted Tobias Carter who brought the lead to the English. The Americans put some pressure but could not score and Carter assured his team's win with a second goal 5 minutes from time. Hotspurs finished the match with 10 men after Basian Walter recieved a second yellow card but it didn't matter to the result which left the host 6 points from the leaders.

"Sure am glad I won that one. It's a big step towards going through" (Spudgreg, Hotspurs FC's manager)

Other Mathes: 3 Teans sit on the top with a perfect record. Ghostriders didn't work hard to defeat Desportos in Brazil, neither Royal Arsenal who defeated Krazy Kickers in Malaysia. GPRO had to work a bit harder but still won in Belgium.

Group E:
Amethyst - Lyngby BK 8:0
Grobari 1970 - Gr8 Angelz 1:3
More Beer FC - Giarra Djinns 0:0
Club Sportive Sergipe - Zi Huha 0:5

The Game: More Beer vs Giarra, More Beer Stadium
Giarra hopes to continue their form from yesterday and forget the troubles at the home league when they visit the Austarlians. More Beer lost earlier their first game of the season and they'll hope to stop that strike right there.

Both teams gave us a boring game, not what expected from them and dissapoitment for the fans. Giarra were better most of the match but couldn't make an attack. The games finished with 1 shot on traget to each of them. Gilgamesh Archer of Giarra won the MoM award.

"Very defensive game but happy with a point to keep us in it during our first CL Campaign" (D Butts, More Beer FC's manager)

"The players performed well but did not create enough chances. Will be going through the match to see where the chances were squandered and try to improve on it. Perhaps the loss of 2 key team stats this morning was also a contributing factor" (Advent, Giarra Djinns' manager)

Other Matches: Gr8 Angelz remains perfect after a nice win in Serbia, Amethyst didn't work hard to defeat uninterested Lyngby and Zi Huha got first points after an easy win in Brazil against Sergipe.

Avengers FC - Sauda 1:4
Connemara United - ITB FC 2:1
Black Pearl - Kamu FC 0:5
Imparaveis FC - Antartis 0:2

The Games: Black Pearl vs Kamu, Black Pearl Stadium
A test for the Germans. Cyrus is rebuilding its so Black Pearl are playing with their 2nd team. However it is still a good team and if Kamu are willing to challenge for one of the top 2 spots they need to win this one.

Not much a surprise as the Germans cruised for victory. Even though Black Pearl palyed with their 2nd team, between the sticks stood Cyrus' first keeper who gave a horrible perfomance. The result was set after only 24 minutes with Gerardo Fajardo scoring a hattrick and Nobuya Kawabata and Havinho adding to the tally. Kamu couldn't score after that but they recorded the an important win.

Other matches: Sauda got easily past Avengers in Turkey while Connemara had to work hard to down ITB at home soil. It seems that Imparaveis and Avengers are also playing with their 2nd squad, making it only 4 teams to fight for 2 tickets.

"It was a very surprising result. Never imagined to beat Black Pearl, one of the strongest teams ever. I took it as a nice Christmas surprise" (Kamu, Kamu FC's manager)

Klaebs Kings - FratiFrancescani 2:1
Seventh Heaven - CzarneKoszule 0:2
Atletico Trini - Dune FC 3:1

The Game: Klaebs vs FF, The Kingdome
The might Australian Champions meet S.107 Finalists. The kings are in a great form and won every match until now. The Italians may not be strong as the Australians but they still can pull a surprise.

A great match that was, a lot of chances were created by both teams and at the end the better team won by a whisker. Both teams started well with great attacks that finished at the goalies' hands. But it was Klaebs who went into the lead by 9 minutes scored by Snow White after a great move ny Ali Baba.  FF got the equaliser 3 minutes later - Alessandro Cosmi scored with a header. But it didn't last long as Dobby brought back the lead immediately. Both keepers were on form afterwards and kept on clean nets. A victory for the Australian Champs at the end of the most entertaining match of the round.

"Well having a match in the everning of Christmas Day is always interesting. The team performed well which could be put down to some health servings of Turkey and Pudding. The first 15 minutes were fast and exciting with 3 quick goals. With Snow White continuing to demonstrate a love for the big cup games by once again scoring and Dobby showing his class. The rest of the game was a torrid affair with both teams struggling to convert" (Klaebs, Klaebs Kings' manager)

Other matchs: 10 men Dilligaf gave a great fight but at the end lost to the Belgians from a late goal. Koszule were not troubled by Seventh Heaven and got all 3 points. Dune put another bad perfomance and lost to Trini in Spain to remain with null points.

Tropancho - Steaua1971 Dragasani 1:4
Viitorul Dragasani - FC Ruwenda 4:1

The Game: OGs vs NL, Gangstas Stadium
With Steaua lost their first match, NL have a good chance to finish top of the group. OGs will try to get another win and boost their chacnes of advancing.

Equal match, a fair draw though OGs had more chacnes than NL. The Dutch were on control on the first match and went into the lead at the 36 minute thanks to Adrian Nuñez header. NL replied with pressure at the second half but Iván Veres stopped them from equalising. OGs could've doubled their lead at the 73 minute as they recieved a penalty but Nuñez shot it on the keeper. NL finally got the equaliser at the 80 minute - Fani Salisbury curled a free-kick from 20 metres into the net to finish the match leveled.
