In The Mag
The December issue of Australian FourFourTwo is out now and we take a look at Brazilian football with an exclusive chat to the world's best player - Kaka.
Ahead of LA Galaxy's arrival Down Under, we also delve into the last twelve turbulent months in the crazy life of David Beckham. And don't miss our catch up with Socceroo Brett Emerton to find out why honouring a promise to his country was more important to him than a trial for Manchester United.

Cristiano's Magic Show
OK, I can see the ball and I can see the contact being made. But I can't for the life of me see how some of these tricks are physically possible. Ronaldo and whoever his mate is, have far too much time on their hands.
