Ok, so, some of you might not know much about Christian Vieri, and some of you might not know about him at all.... but that is only if you don't watch football.
Anyone that watches football, knows who Christian Vieri is, and they know what club he plays for, what country he plays for, and just how good he actually is. Let me just say that Christian Vieri is a world class player, that is an Italian and he plays for Inter Milan.
Vieri started off his proffesional career in football at Athletico Madrid, about 8 years ago, and was an amateur player back then, but in his second season at the club, he scored 27 goals in 27 games, which is quite a feat to accomplish. He was then scouted by Juventus. Juve took Vieri in in 1995/96, and he was a major player at the club, scoring many great goals, winning Juventus the League Tilte that year with his partnership with Alassandro Del Piero up front, and eventually he got a call-up to his national squad, Italy.
Viere continued to play well at Juventus, but, in 1998/99, Lazio bought him from Juve for a high fee of £21 million, which was a huge amount of money then, and it still is today. Vieri, however, didn't play as well at Lazio as he could of, and was bought away from them by Inter Milan for £32 million, which broke the World transfer record then, but that record has been broken now. Vieri still plays for Inter today, and plays for his national squad too, and he is great for both. Inter are lying in the top 3 of this Season's Serie A, and Vieri is their top scorer. He will also be called up for the national squad at this year's World Cup, and will be hoping to do his country proud, by getting them some glory, in a tournament they haven't won for quite a while now.

The reason I put the title of this topic as 'Football and Football Games' is because, Vieri plays really, really well in all football games I've got. In Champ Manager, I signed him in my season with Real Madrid, and I am sitting Top of the Spanish League due to his partnership with Fernando Morientes, and he has netted 27 goals in 31 games, and I'm not doing too badly in the Champions League either, as Vieri has a few more goals in that.
Pro Evolution have also made him possibly the best striker in their game. I bought him (in the Master League) for a season with Bayern Munich (yes, I like to go the big teams in football), and his partnership with Elber is winning my season after season. I think I'm on my 5th right now. When I play against him when I play Inter in a normal match, and also, in that he plays brilliantly against me, and that is the point I don't like him. :-)
Anyway, it's good to see that not only big footballing clubs can see a good player, and that games developers can too. I like that. :-)
Christian Vieri rules, just like me, ok? So all of you people that have told me I don't like football, or any players, shush!
Thanks for reading, Afro. :D

Yeah, I heard that he had some Aussie relatives.
If he'd ended up playing for Australia, they could have been a lot better, and that would have made Italy a bit worse... but they have Del Piero, Inzaghi, Montella and quite a few others too, but Vieri tops them all.

Yep, Christian Vieiri's a brilliant striker in more ways than one!!
I too usuallly try and buy him on Championship Manager, and he always kick-starts his career at my club with a bang - or a goal or two!
I've been watching him play ever since his early days at Atletico Madrid, thanks to Spanish Footie on Sky, and I always knew he was gunna be big!!
Did you also know that he has an Australian passport??
And he's an Aussie, cuz i've heard him speak English before on Football Italia (Channel 4).
Hmmmmmm.........imagine if he'd have chosen Australia????
Good post too, you certainly know Chrisitan Vieiri!
And his younger brother, Masimilliano, also plays in Italy, and I think he's at Juvé!??
