Well the Soccer Aid cup anyway. They beat the Rest of the world team 2-1. The idea for Soccer Aid was to get an England team play against a Rest of the world team. Each team was made of former footballers like Zola, Seaman, Gazza, Jamie Redknapp and Bryan Robson and celebs like Jaime Theakston, Angus Deayton and Ben Shepherd. England were the better team, especially in the first half. However you never know what can happen with the other team having the likes of Maradonna and Zola.
It was a pretty good game and good goals from Les Ferdinand and Jonathan Wilkes (an excellent finish). Some of the celebs played really well – Wilkes was good (playing for Everton youth team when young), Lewis was really good too. The best ex-professional player for England was properly Les – he was still playing professionally not long ago. For the rest of the world team Zola was really good – he actually played in the Italian league this year and scored 10 goals. He had a good chance to score but hit it over.
Nearly 72000 people went to Old Trafford. This means lots of money raised for UNICEF which is all excellent news.
Hopefully in about 6 weeks time, England will be lifting the cup again
I watched the show on ITV2 afterwards – it was called something like Soccer Aid Extra Time and my all time favourite women Louise Redknapp was on the show doing some interviewing. Its been ages since shes released a song (2003) but she is apparently releasing some stuff this year. After doing some Googling found some of her new songs for the currently unreleased album (its on her new producers MySpace page).

I also read that she is working with Xenomania – they have produced all of Girls Aloud tracks and a lot of the Sugababes stuff e.g.’Hole in the head’ and ‘Red dress’ – I am not sure if Xenomania is the same as the new producer guy (mentioned above).
Its the Monaco grand prix this weekend – I watched the qualifying and Massa and Button well the main losers in the 1st and 2nd round of the qualifying. Michael Schumacher got poll – he did a good time but it looked like Alonso would have beaten him. However, Schumacher made a mistake on the last corner and kindoff blocked the path. It properly delayed Alonso a couple tenths of a second and he was 3 tenths up on that lap. It has recently been announced that Schumacher will start from the back of the grid – the stewards think he had his accident deliberately.
