So you're standing there in goal, haven't had much to do all game and suddenly some bloke has the ball in front of you. Shouldn't be a problem...only this bloke looks a bit like Zinedine Zidane.

Por Favor!

When it comes to cheating, footballers don't have the best of reputations to put it mildly. But some players take it to a whole new level. This player in South America has come up with a novel way to get an opponent sent off, sad to see but hilarious at the same time.

Michael Slavin has won the March Manager of the Month prize with his team 'Parmo Unathletic' scoring a grand total of 120 to scoop the TV.

Michael sounded quite surprised by his win, "Get in there!" he said, "This goes to prove if I can win it anyone can." Michael seems to know what he's talking about as well, after the last few winners of the monthly prize have come from towards the top of the league, Parmo Unathletic sit in 2515th place. It just goes to show, there is still a chance to bag some glory even if the main prize might now be out of reach.

Congratulations to Michael, click here to log in to your team and challenge for the next monthly prize.

Il Fenomeno

Admin — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 14:40:00 +0000

The original Ronaldo announced his retirement recently. His weight problems and dodgy knees later on in his career sometimes distract from what an astonishing player he was. He scored 62 times for Brazil in 97 appearances, 47 times in 49 games for Barcelona and became the youngest player to win the Fifa World Player of the Year award. He and Zinedane Zidane are the only people to win the award three times. Not to mention breaking the record for the most goals scored in World Cups. His pace and power, that got him the nickname Il Fenomeno, and directness of his runs made him look unstoppable at times and he finish his career with the proud record of 352 goals in 515 appearances at domestic level. Ronaldo, we salute you.
