Angry Ginge tears into Carlos Tevez after Soccer Aid as he shows off bloody arm
"Cheers Tevez. Twat," fired the Manchester United fan as he showed off a bleeding scratch on his arm from the changing room.
Tevez, who played for Man United and Manchester City during his professional career, bagged four goals before Big Zuu grabbed his team's winner.
Despite being on the losing end, Angry Ginge was named Man of the Match for his performance at the back, which included a spectacular goal line clearance.
The hotly anticipated match took place at the sold-out Old Trafford football stadium in Manchester to an audience of over 70,000 people. The match ended 5-4 to World XI FC, stealing the win back and keeping the overall lead with 8-6 wins since the inaugural 2006 match.
Kicking off the game, Sam Thompson officially completed his 'Match Ball Mission', which saw the ball travel over 270 miles by foot and by bike from Stamford Bridge last week and arrive safely at Old Trafford ready for the match today. During the show, the final total raised from Sam's challenge was announced, at £ 2,075,564.46.
During half time, actor and Soccer Aid supporter Daniel Mays addressed the stadium crowd and viewers at home with a special speech, galvanising donations to UNICEF. Followed by an emotional and show stopping performance by Dermot Kennedy singing his hit song 'Better Days', supported with backing vocals from Hallé Children's Choir.
It was another enthralling contest between England and the Soccer Aid World XI FC, as Lioness Jill Scott captained once again, leading the way for Team England, whilst Nemanja Vidic skippered for the Soccer Aid World XI FC for the first time.
Team England started strong, as Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney scored the fastest ever goal in Soccer Aid history in the fourth minute. Not all was lost for World XI as Angry Ginge jumped to rescue goalkeeper Joe Hart with an unbelievable save in the 19th minute. Just before the half time whistle blew, Lioness Toni Duggan, in her Soccer Aid debut, snuck in an exceptional second goal for the England squad – ending the first half on 2-0 to England.
Going into the second half, former England striker Jermaine Defoe scored again for Team England, seamlessly flicked the ball into the left corner of the net, bringing the score to 3-0. Former professional footballer Carlos Tevez wowed the crowds by scoring an unbelievable two goals in rapid succession for World XI. As the 64th minute hit Defoe knocked the ball in for the second time for England – making him now the top scorer in Soccer Aid history.
Much to Paddy McGuinness's dismay Carlos Teves scored another two times bringing the game to an even to 4-4. As the teams were neck and neck, Big Zuu secured his first ever Soccer Aid goal by sneaking the ball into the net bringing the game to a final score of 5-4 to World XI.

‘Does Tom Brady need a job on the bins?' – Fans swipe at NFL legend after video emerged of him digging out Wayne Rooney
FOOTBALL fans have slammed NFL icon and Birmingham City co-owner Tom Brady for his comments on Wayne Rooney's work ethic. Brady said he was "a little worried" about the Manchester United legend's approach to coaching in a fly-on-the-wall documentary series following the League One champions. 2 2 Speaking to his business manager Ben Rawitz, the 47-year-old claimed: "I'm a little worried about our head coach's work ethic." Rawitz then responded: "A little too lackadaisical?" It came after Brady had shared his own experiences in the NFL with Rooney while at the training ground. The legendary quarterback appointed Rooney to replace John Eustace at St Andrew's in October 2023 with Birmingham sixth in the Championship table. However, he was sacked three months later after winning just two out of 15 games. The Blues had dropped down to 20th by the time Rooney left. Despite his disappointing tenure at Birmingham, fans have jumped to the ex-striker's defence following Brady's comments. One person said: "I think Brady needs to stay in his lane." Another commented: "Zero class from Brady." A third wrote: "It's the Tom Brady show, shame he has no class and no idea of the game." While a fourth joked: "Does Brady need a job on the bins to demonstrate his work ethic?"

‘He was angry': India admit wind-up strategy to disrupt Root's batting
At the end of another day of backchat and occasionally fraying tempers, in which the former England captain Michael Vaughan suggested of the two sets of players that 'it's almost like they've had enough of each other', India admitted Joe Root had been the target of a deliberate plan to wind him up and put him off his game. Alastair Cook, another former England captain, had suggested as much after Root reacted to a comment from Prasidh Krishna. 'He was angry, he wasn't in much control, but why wouldn't you try to upset Joe Root?' Cook said. 'I don't know if it was a plan but you can say that it did work. I just hope what he said was within the line. I hope it didn't cross the line, and was good old honest sledging. It definitely got Joe out of his bubble.' Sign up to The Spin Subscribe to our cricket newsletter for our writers' thoughts on the biggest stories and a review of the week's action after newsletter promotion Root, who across the first four matches of the series had scored two centuries and averaged 67.16, was duly dismissed for 29. 'That was the plan,' Krishna said. 'But I didn't really expect the couple of words that I said to get such a big reaction from him. It was a very small thing. We're good mates off the field – it was just a little bit of banter and both of us enjoyed it, I think.' On another occasion Akash Deep put an arm around Ben Duckett's shoulder to usher him off the field after the England opener was dismissed for a quickfire 43, something England's assistant coach Marcus Trescothick thought might have provoked a more violent response. 'A lot of players would have just dropped the elbow on him,' he said. 'I don't think I've ever seen a bowler do that after getting someone out. I'm sure there'll be occasions in the future where he may well [react]. It is what it is, isn't it? There's no need to walk him off in that fashion, but the game has been fought in good spirits – although there's been many words and arguments along the way, the two teams are still getting on well enough and will continue to do so once the game is done.' India finished the second day on 75 for two, nursing a lead of 52 with 21 wickets having already fallen on a green-tinged pitch described by Trescothick as 'extreme'. 'This pitch has been challenging,' he said. 'There's no doubt about it, with the way it was prepared to be a little bit greener. I think it's been at the top end of what you want it to be. We're at the extreme version of what we see in these types of pitches, but it's kind of what we like – we want pace on the ball, we want the ball to bounce and we want the ball to carry through. We're happy with how it's performed so far.'

Next Bond movie will be written by Oscar nominated filmmaker behind iconic TV show
THE brains behind smash hit show Peaky Blinders has been signed up to write the next James Bond film – and he is promising to make it 'better, stronger and bolder'. Diehard fans of the suave spy had feared Bond would lose its identity after Amazon bought the franchise for $1billion in February. 2 2 But with 65-year-old Brummie Steven Knight at the helm, 007 expert Matthew Field says it is proof its British heritage will be preserved. He told The Sun: 'Amazon could easily have hired an A-list US writer but they chose Knight, a truly great British writer, who understands Bond's importance. 'He has a solid pedigree in film and TV that spans more than 25 years so it will be really exciting to see his world of Bond for a whole new generation of fans.' It is a job that Steven, who also wrote SAS: Rogue Heroes and co-created Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, says was always on his bucket list. Mega signing The youngest of seven children, he was raised by dad George, a blacksmith, and mum Ida, a bookie's runner. He has spoken about how gangster series Peaky Blinders, set in 1920s Small Heath, near Solihull in his home city, was inspired by tales of his dad's gangster uncles and his mum's work. The BBC drama ran for six series from 2013 to 2022, helping to attract record numbers of tourists to England's second city. The final outing became the BBC iPlayer's most streamed series of the year and the show is credited with seeing a resurgence in popularity for the names Arthur and Aida. Soldiers in Ukraine have even adopted the name Peaky Blinders for one of their military units. Married dad-of-seven Steven is a mega signing for Bond alongside Dune director Denis Villeneuve and producers David Heyman and Amy Pascal, known for the Harry Potter and Spider-Man films respectively. Brit acting legend admits he wants to play James Bond saying 'the world's gone crazy' if Amazon casts a US star for 007 Matthew says: 'It's a great collection of creative minds reinventing Bond. It's in really safe hands.' Before screenwriting, Steven trained as a blacksmith but admitted: 'I was useless at it.' After studying English at university, he wrote radio commercials, jingles and promotional game concepts for Capital FM under then-breakfast host Chris Tarrant in the Nineties. One game he developed was Cash Mountain, where players would be able to win an unlimited amount of money answering infinite, increasingly impossible questions until they got one wrong. However, he said: 'No one would insure that just in case, so we had to think of a limit, so we thought, well, a million, why not?' That concept became Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, which peaked at 19.2million viewers per episode and was adapted for around 100 countries. The success of the game show freed Steven to write what he wanted. When the 2022 Commonwealth Games came to Birmingham, he was an obvious choice to co-direct the opening ceremony. The industrial revolution-inspired show featured Sir Lenny Henry, UB40, Duran Duran, Ozzy Osbourne and a 33ft mechanical bull. Two years earlier, he received a CBE for services to drama and the community in Birmingham. He said he planned to celebrate 'Tommy Shelby-style' in reference to the main Peaky Blinders character and his love of whisky and cigarettes. Now the creative force behind Bond, he told BBC Radio 5 Live: 'I'm hoping that, being a Bond fan for so many years, it'll be imbued into me and I'll be able to produce something that's the same but different, and better, stronger and bolder.'
