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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BI3ORyqT5Ec 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.
