Schumi almost did it

On July 13th 2004, Portugal's Louis Figo organised a charity foot ball match.

A Host of top international players and a selection of the best Portuguese players took part in the Luis Figo All stars match.

Luis Figo was given a standing ovation at the Algarve stadium on Monday night, in recognition not only of his foot balling talents but also the charity work carried out through the Luis Figo Foundation.

In keeping up with the reasons for its creation, the Lums Figo Foundation supports and develops a number of actions - stimulating sports in schools, allowing new talents to emerge, and promoting projects integrating young athletes.

The projects also help children and teenagers in need or suffering from physical or mental disabilities.

Six time Formula One World champion Michael Schumacher is as passionate about football as he is about motor racing. He almost made it two-nil but his well timed header hit the post.

I saw those attempts of Schumi in NDTV news. It is really a world class stuff.
