:D mods - please move this to Legal issues, thanks :D

Where did you get the image from? Can you ask permission of the owner of the image. I don't think that they will really care much, as you are not making money out of it, and there are lots of fan sites anyway..... best to ask.

Yes it is illegal, that photograph was taken by a photographer and the soccer team, that photo is the property of ther photographer, soccer team, s/t management, or the magazine/newspaper where you got it from. COPYRIGHT means the owner of a photograph has the right to let you copy or the right not let you copy it.

Glavic,

why did you dredge a 3 year old post out of the dust?
