Stevie G Vs. Carra

I see you putting Gerlonso right in the middle, Stevie. You’re fooling no one!

Stevie G and Jamie Carragher will go into battle against each other on March 29…for charity. The funds raised will go to community projects in Liverpool. The match completely sold out in hours (surprised it wasn’t minutes, actually) but you can check out the teams after the jump.

El Clasico In The US: Miami Legends Cup

With all the World Cup uproar, I completely forgot to post this. El Clasico in the US -yep, you heard that right. The Real Madrid Legends are playing the Barcelona Legends. This is going to be a fun match and a chance to see some of the greats from both sides. Of course, they had to put it on a freaking Thursday night right after I get back from England so I can’t get there. Boooo! Anyhow, check out the confirmed players thus far. My head’s kinda exploding.
