Impedimenta made it quite clear to her "piggywiggy" husband: with sunny days filling a Gaulish sky that shows no sign of falling on our heads, there could be no more excuses for not doing a bit of sport and fighting that (slight) tubbiness which had been making life difficult for his two shield bearers recently.
But far from acquiescing, Chief Vitalstatistix scowled back, fearing he would sweat to death under the beating sun. But it was either that or undergo another drastic cure under the care of druid Diagnostix in the spa town of Aquae Calidae (Vichy)…
Luckily for Vitalstatistix, the virtual village gb.asterix.com will let you indulge in some sport without leaving your armchair, and have lots of fun to boot! The Gaulish ancestor of football competitions, the Champions Cup is a game whose success cannot be denied. Your task is to form the best team, with the help of the most talented indomitable characters from the Known World, to confront the fearsome line-up from imperial Rome.

Today some people still think that the tensions underlying all clashes between France and Italy date back to these exhilarating encounters in Asterix's time… So why not scale the lofty heights of the forthcoming Euro 2008 football tournament and play a match in advance?!
If though, like Vitalstatistix, you prefer to practice individual sports, the new edition of our Tournament of Indomitables is for you. It's the "Gaulish Open", based on Roland Garros and presided over by the Egyptian Ptenisnet, and it's your votes that decide the winners!
The 32 seeds, determined by the results of our huge survey into the popularity of Asterix characters, will be protected from each other for the first few rounds. You can discover all the matches in the complete table of the 2008 Tournament of Indomitables. And to play yourself, get along to the Circus Maximus, the centre court in 50 B.C.!
