Again, a tough match to decide for a winner. Will vote later.

[Preki-USA]

Manutd4ever is in a tough position with so many worthless aging players...Ronaldo9 screwed you over with his refusal to change his squad... FIGO WINS

[-Rafa-]

Around 10 players over 30 :no:

[Rambo]

Yes my sqaud is old

Anyways good luck Figo

[Del Piero]

Im going for a draw.

Although manutd4evas team is old it is still good, there arent many better left wingers around than giggs and figo is still class

[Dragonfly]

Either a draw, or win for MU4eva because of home advantage.

I'll vote later.

[greenegg]

I fancy the oldies to use all their experience here and play out to a narrow win.

Van Nistelrooy is going to have a rough time against 2 physically strong centrebacks, so good wingplay will come in handy. Both aren't as fast as they used to be, but they could cause trouble to Heitinga and Del Horno.

Figo has more youthful wingers, with Ronaldo's trickery and speed and Wilhelmsson's cheating and diving they are bound to cause trouble. I can see Figo take it here.

ManUtd4ever's side started strong with Makelele and Juninho bossing central midfield and wingers Figo and Giggs terrorising the Figo10 defence. Despite this, Van Nistelrooy was finding it difficult to find space with Mertesacker and Alex taking it in turns to mark him out of the match.

Juninho came close to taking the lead but his curling freekick never didn't manage to dip soon enough and much to the Figo10's and Hildebrand's relief, it bounced off the top of the corner of the crossbar.

Gerrard and Essien didn't take this lightly and were soon seen making crunching tackles on ManUtd4ever's evergreen wingers in an attempt to stem the tide. To some degree they were successful as it quickly became clear that Figo no longer seemed to have the impact he had managed in the first half hour.

Just after the half time break, Figo10 took the lead with a goal out of nowhere. In what seemed an innocuous attacking move, Ronaldo suddenly found a long forgotten burst of pace that took him past a napping Salgado and curled a wonderful shot into Lehmann's far corner. Thuram seemed to be arguing woth Lehmann, presumably over his mistake of coming too far out, thus making it impossible for him to reach Ronaldo's curled effort, although some would argue the shot was unstoppable in any event.

ManUtd4ever had clearly had enough of this and replaced Jenas for Kuranyi. The attacking change paid immediate dividends when Kuranyi blasted a volley past Hildebrand from a Juninho freekick. He had commented earlier in the week that he intended to let his feet do the talking if he didn't start and it seems he may have made his point today.

After this flurry of excitement, the match seemed to lose it's edge as both teams seemed happy to share the spoils.

^^ What the fuck?

[Dragonfly]

I voted MU4eava coz he has the better striker.

[Scarface]

Two teams of very similar ability, so I see this one heading for a draw.
