After seven games it is ridiculously close in the Euro league of game 64, with 11 out of the 12 teams in the league all in with a realistic chance of either winning it, or being relegated! Only Joe Spencer's Atletico Madrid seem to be out of it - they have just two points - but they're no pushovers as PSV found this week - James Bartaby's Eindhoven just about scraping through with a 2-1 win. The top seven sides all have 12 points after this weeks games, Rich Coupland's Lazio are top of the pile after a 3-0 home win over Glen Pine's Basle who are level on points with them. Louis King's Benfica moved up to second after a 2-0 home win over Mark Wheat's Juve - Juventus are now 11th, but are still only five points off the top. Gerard O'Brien's Bayern are third with Ronaldo firing in two more, Aguero adding another too. Antwerp join the top group after a 1-0 win at home to Mini Mars, Insigne with the late winner. Mini Mars are now 8th, a point behind the top two, with PSG two points behind. The way things are going we could easily see either on top in a week or two. AC Milan moved onto 7 points, ahead of Juve, with a 2-1 win over PSG.
Patrick Lyons' NY Red Bull are one of two sides with perfect records in game 64, the other being Craig Rathey's Scarborough in British div.1. They lead Serie B by two points from Jamie Maycroft's Dnipro after both won this week. Nastasic got the winner for Red Bull as they won 1-0 at Duncan Martin's Palermo, whilst Dnipro beat Roma 2-0 at home after Didier Drogba was sent off for the visitors, a result that drops Hayden Dando's side to third in the table, three points off the lead.
The British league isn't quite as close as the Euro, but the title is still up for grabs with most of the table still in the running. Chelsea are the new leaders, last weeks top side Celtic drop to sixth. Niall Cunningham's Chelsea went behind early on at home, Messi putting Ethan Bailey's Arsenal ahead, but two goals in the last 13 minutes from Contrao and Kroos saw them just scrape the three points. Rich Coupland's Wolves beat Marc Lewry's Man United 4-0, and are a point behind Chelsea, Glen Pine's Bournemouth are two points off the top in third place after their thrilling 4-3 victory over James West's Aston Villa. Villa are currently bottom of the table with three points. Derby and Man City both won as well and both are two points behind the leaders along with Celtic.
As previously said, Scarborough have a 100% record in division 1, they're five points clear of Sam Roberts' Doncaster. Another potential rival was beaten this week, Craig Rathey's side putting four past Nick Smith's Liverpool without reply. Sam Roberts' Doncaster stay second, Cavani with a brace in their 4-0 win over Burnley, West Ham and Newcastle are a point behind them. The Magpies won 1-0 at home to Wigan this week, the Hammers thumping 'a soccer team that are really quite swell', the magnificent Grimsby Town, 4-0. Sheffield Wednesday were the leagues biggest scorers - Llorente with four goals in a 5-2 win at West Brom. Boss Chris Burton may have had other things on his mind this week - he's now a dad - so congratulations Chris from game 64!
