Going under the team name of Shameful United this is a Madden type team but filled with players who pretty much just cheat or make fools of themselves and their clubs/countries.

First on the list is Barbarez from Bayer Leverkusen, doubt many if anybody would have seen him play against Blackburn Rovers in the UEFA Cup but I've never laughed as much at a player for a longtime.

The score was 0-0 and Blackburn needed to win anyways wasn't long to go in the game and Barbarez gets hit in the face by a Blackburn player in the Bayer penalty box but Bayer broke on the counter attack so he didn't go down, but the attack broke down and to waste time Barbarez went down with a delayed reaction to being hit but he didn't go down in the box he actually went down near the centre spot a full 50 yards from where he had been hit just to waste time.

So we go to the second reason he makes the list, a few minutes after the first incident there's a bit of pushing and shoving between the players and clearly Barbarez gets pushed in the chest by a Blackburn player but for some strange reason Barbarez feels the need to grab his face and goes down qucker then if he had been hit by Ali in his prime.

Second to make the short list for the starting 11 for Shameful United is Ambrosini from AC Milan in the Celtic game, Ambrosini broke into the penalty box and was challenged by a Celtic player but he rode the challenge and stayed up but 2 yards later he realised he couldn't get to the ball before it went out of play and decided to do a dive that Greg Louganis would have been proud of.
