Round Three
Evening and welcome to the third week of Baller League!
The first two weeks have been filled with goals, goals and… yes you guessed it, GOALS! as the high-energy, fast-paced professional football league redefining the game that was promised, is delivering.
Yanited are the early pace-setters after the first two matchdays, while the Invincible-inspired N5 FC and John Terry-led 26ers are trialing at the foot of the table. Amin Belaïd is the man to watch with an eye-popping six goals, so far for Luís Figo’s Trebol team.
We are set for another jam-packed night of action, with a 5.35 kick-off at London’s Copper Box Arena expected.
