Group C favourites were Goldsmith Williams. In two previous tournaments they had reached two finals and lost just once (in 14 games). Both those appearences were in Prague though so their 3rd challenge would see a change in football style and culture playing in Barcelona . So, it was sod's law that they met DHL Prague Red in their first game. The English team had met DHL Prague sides on 3 previous occasions and won them all so the form book would predict a Goldsmith Williams win. The first half went the way we expected as Goldsmith Williams raced to a 3-0 lead thanks to debutant Liam Currie with two and Chris Williams. DHL Prague Red did well to hold their own thereafter and maintained a respectable scoreline. With this difficult fixture out the way they would look to their other two games to progress.

Equipo A of Spain were making their second eurofootballfives.com appearance of the season when they met Kameeeene. Kameeeeene were the sister squad of Galacticos in Group A but unlike their counterparts who swept to opening game victory, Kameeeeene were finding things tough against Equipo A. The young Spanish opened up a 2-0 lead by the break and then kicked on to a 5-1 win at full time. Albert Marx was the key architect of the attacking threat bagging a hat-trick. Ajaz Budi was the man on the scoresheet for Kameeeeene.

If Kameeeeene found it tough against Equipo A the last thing they wanted (or needed) in their next match was to face Goldsmith Williams. Rizwan Siddique upset the applecart by spoiling a second consecutive clean sheet for Gary Dean in the Goldsmith goal. It was at the other end though were the problems lay as Kameeeeene were leaking goals. Goldsmith Williams put seven past their opponents and with the added assistance of an own goal they finished 8-1 victors. Liam Currie scored a hat-trick to put him up at the top of the goalscoring charts. Chris Williams scored twice plus there were opening tournament goals for Kevin Smith and David Lowry.
