England's years of Soccer Aid hurt continued on Sunday night as they lost 4-2 to the World XI but the only result that mattered was the nearly £15million (and rising) raised for Unicef.
Soccer Aid was back at Old Trafford for the first time in three years and the capacity crowd was treated to an entertaining affair full of goals, flicks, tricks and the occasional tasty tackle from pros and celebrities alike. It was a star-studded lineup with plenty of familiar faces as Manchester United legends Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Patrice Evra lined up alongside fellow footballers Jack Wilshere, Gary Cahill, Hernan Crespo and Francesco Totti.
It was the Italian legend who ran the show as he rolled back the years with a typically elegant display he used to grace the Stadio Olimpico with during his storied career with Roma. Totti had been occupying the space between the lines and spreading stunning passes as though he was on a Sunday stroll and it was no surprise when he created the first goal.
