    Sorry, but I'm new to this. How do you change it so you don't enter under your real name?

    You can use whatever name you wish in the First name and last name, I have First name Stevie and Last name J. So you could have Viva and Tifosi.

    How about those of us that know nothing about football? Are we welcome to join in for a bit of fun or would it ruin things?

    All are welcome, I am sure there will be a few shocks in the pipeline.

    Well I've had a lovely hour or so. My team is based not so much on skill as appearance. I've been through every list of "best looking footballers" on the net. I'm now very disappointed that the Ukraine didn't qualify. If any of them aren't all that, please let me know, I'm surfing on a little netbook and so can't see the pics too well. I can't have any on my team that don't pass muster.

    Ronaldo is a genuine and nice person.
    I wanted to emphasize the responsibility an athlete like Cristiano has to young and impressionable people like Brandon. As we talked, it was touching to see a vulnerable and compassionate side to a guy who is a warrior on the field.
    The last thing I mentioned to Ronaldo was that Brandon had kept a daily diary. On the last page it read" "I spoke to Ronaldo, I can now go to heaven."
