VIDEO: Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard vs. 30 eight-year-old kids

Tony Cuddihy

A narrow 3-2 win for the veteran duo against 30 pint-sized opponents.

Robbie Keane and Steven Gerrard, with a combined age of 156, take on 30 eight-year-olds in something that the Americans probably aren’t calling a two-sided soccerball score extravanganza.

Keane and Gerrard managed to utilise the 0-1-1 formation pretty well against a side lining out with a revolutionary 9-10-10 system, the former Liverpool team-mates using their sizable height advantage to grab a late 3-2 victory.

This is actually pretty good fun.

Does it remind anyone of that old joke from the ’90s?

Roy Keane took on the entire Liverpool side on his own and managed to come away with a 1-0 at Old Trafford this afternoon.

The result was even more surprising given the fact that Keane was sent off after half an hour. 

We’ll get our coats.
