Cristiano Ronaldo scored from a freekick on his debut for LFC to the delight of the home crowd.
Speaking after the game Ronaldo was quick to dismiss his good start. "The Townfigs are losers and only a sucker would celebrate for more than 2 seconds scoring against them. Do I look like a sucker?"
Legoland FC have stormed to the top of the Serie A after a 7-2 trouncing of Legoland Town at the Partizan, the Old Rule's biggest ever opening day win. Last season's runners-up hit the front in the 12th minute through a powerful Cristiano Ronaldo freekick and were 3-0 up by the half-time interval thanks to a brace from Benoit Le Bris and Raul. The Cartel went on to score 4 more in the second half, the first of which was an comical own goal by the Townfig's Lorenzo Stovini, with the others coming from Le Bris, Romario and Frank Lampard.
With LFC in talks with ND Land over a €50m deal for star forward Kaka, the Cartel's fans could be forgiven for thinking that this season's title is their's to lose. Such hopeful thoughts increased today after reigning champions Legoland United slipped up on the proverbial banana skin at home to newly promoted Atlas Bell. United found themselves 2-0 with minutes remaining but a David Balleri header and an 89th minute penalty from Leper salvaged a point from what appeared to be a lost cause. The club may nevertheless not have to improve too much for the away trip to Lazio on Wednesday.
Lazio were stunned by minnows Stuart Spacers at the Orbit Stadium with the Spacers' record £3m signing from Juventus, Macauley Chrisantus, netting 2 goals in the 48th and 49th minute to steer his side to a 2-0 win. Lazio's owner Mrs Sega is reportedly considering selling the club as a result of today's result such is her anger.
Elsewhere, Lion Lakers defeated local Castleland side BFB 1-0, Marino ran out surprise 2-0 winners over Real Legoland and last season's third place finishers Ajax Skerries pinched a priceless 1-0 win over Parma. Castleland United had a good start to their top flight return with a comfortable enough 2-0 win over Napoli, a result that put further supporter pressure on Napoli owner Colonel Brik, once referred to as Cool Brik by supporters, but more recently accused of not strengthening the club further.
Napoli released a post-match statement revealing underlying confidence in the current squad and season ahead. "Although the Brik family is dissapointed in Napoli's opening loss we still feel strongly they we will have a great season. We know the fans are upset but we expect they will cheer next week, we still have time to add players and will be doing so if a player that will help Napoli comes on our radar to get."
