Rage! 5 stubborn football stars who are always ready for a fight on the pitch

Football is the only medium whereby people of different backgrounds and culture will come together and speak one voice in the interest of the club they support.

The game can be classified into three major categories which is win, draw or lose, but there are some players who have no business with all these three as they would always find it difficult to control their level of annoyance even when their club is winning.
