Hattrick--Manage an Online Soccer Team

[Jemima]

I know nothing about soccer, really, but my husband, 2 of my sons and 2 of my daughters and myself have gotten hooked on:

www.hattrick.org

which is a worldwide online soccer management game. You start out with a team, coaches, money, a stadium, etc. and you are placed in a league and play a 14 game season, with a 2 week break, unless you need to play qualification matches. You can also challenge your friends' teams to a 'friendly' or non-official game mid week. You decide how to spend your money, how to train the team, etc.

Even someone who knows nothing about soccer can have a blast!

Yeah it's fun! My team name is "Number 3" Screenname has a 3 in it too!

Is it free?

[Jemima]

Yes, Hattrick is free to play.

If you want to be a suscriber and have additional features--which are totally unneccessary--you can pay a $20 or so a year fee.

Hey, that's pretty cool! I may just have to sign up!

You've got nothing to lose, and it's literally a world-wide game. Occassionally I get to chat with people in other countries (like here!!) and it's neat. My family origins are in Norway, and I have gotten to 'meet' people near my dad's hometown.

It really is a fun game!!
