Ligue 1 Is Up and Running

Finally! We had an action packed weekend that saw more goals than all of last year (no not really, but it felt like it!). As I watched highlights of the games this past weekend I was amazed that most of the players looked really fit already. Better pre-season prep or are players taking vacations were they train a little bit too? So here is the rundown of the scores from the weekend:

Final Abbe-Deschamps Auxerre 2 – 1 Nantes
36′ Ireneusz Jelen 1 – 0
68′ 1 – 1 David De Freitas
72′ Julien Quercia 2 – 1
