IN THIS ISSUE

Current Issue
 
March, 2010

Pouting, preening and pretentious to some, but Cristiano Ronaldo is one the very best of his generation. In the March issue we examine the ‘Ronaldo effect’ – how his departure has affected Manchester United, his impact on Real Madrid since arriving and if he can lead Portugal to World Cup glory

Elsewhere, we chat to the man that makes Messi tick at Barcelona – Xavi, plus talk to the straight shooting Socceroo Vince Grella who tells us what he really thinks of fair-weather Australia fans and Pim’s formation.
