Think he forgot was the point of the match was. You did ya best buddy, keep your chin up," they told Paddy. "To be fair you did leave the goal open for him. Fair play trying to stop a world class striker," added another. Paddy wasn't the only one being riled by Tevez's antics on the pitch.

Angry Ginge tears into Carlos Tevez after Soccer Aid as he shows off bloody arm
Angry Ginge slammed Carlos Tevez as he showed off his bloody arm injury after the two clashed at Soccer Aid. The social media star took to Instagram after the match - in which England crumbled to the World XI in the second half - to reveal the aftermath of his run-in with the Argentine. "Cheers Tevez. Twat," fired the Manchester United fan as he showed off a bleeding scratch on his arm from the changing room. Tevez, who played for Man United and Manchester City during his professional career, bagged four goals before Big Zuu grabbed his team's winner. Despite being on the losing end, Angry Ginge was named Man of the Match for his performance at the back, which included a spectacular goal line clearance. The hotly anticipated match took place at the sold-out Old Trafford football stadium in Manchester to an audience of over 70,000 people. The match ended 5-4 to World XI FC, stealing the win back and keeping the overall lead with 8-6 wins since the inaugural 2006 match. Kicking off the game, Sam Thompson officially completed his 'Match Ball Mission', which saw the ball travel over 270 miles by foot and by bike from Stamford Bridge last week and arrive safely at Old Trafford ready for the match today. During the show, the final total raised from Sam's challenge was announced, at £ 2,075,564.46. During half time, actor and Soccer Aid supporter Daniel Mays addressed the stadium crowd and viewers at home with a special speech, galvanising donations to UNICEF. Followed by an emotional and show stopping performance by Dermot Kennedy singing his hit song 'Better Days', supported with backing vocals from Hallé Children's Choir. It was another enthralling contest between England and the Soccer Aid World XI FC, as Lioness Jill Scott captained once again, leading the way for Team England, whilst Nemanja Vidic skippered for the Soccer Aid World XI FC for the first time. Team England started strong, as Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney scored the fastest ever goal in Soccer Aid history in the fourth minute. Not all was lost for World XI as Angry Ginge jumped to rescue goalkeeper Joe Hart with an unbelievable save in the 19th minute. Just before the half time whistle blew, Lioness Toni Duggan, in her Soccer Aid debut, snuck in an exceptional second goal for the England squad – ending the first half on 2-0 to England. Going into the second half, former England striker Jermaine Defoe scored again for Team England, seamlessly flicked the ball into the left corner of the net, bringing the score to 3-0. Former professional footballer Carlos Tevez wowed the crowds by scoring an unbelievable two goals in rapid succession for World XI. As the 64th minute hit Defoe knocked the ball in for the second time for England – making him now the top scorer in Soccer Aid history. Much to Paddy McGuinness's dismay Carlos Teves scored another two times bringing the game to an even to 4-4. As the teams were neck and neck, Big Zuu secured his first ever Soccer Aid goal by sneaking the ball into the net bringing the game to a final score of 5-4 to World XI.

Munster Hurling championship: Cork v Waterford, Limerick v Clare – follow all the action as it happens
Live | Niall McIntyre Welcome to GAA championship live blog with hurling's Munster and Leinster championships the main focus of today's action. It promises to be another day of drama. Follow all the action around the grounds here. Just now Game on in Páirc Uí Chaoimh. 3 minutes ago Frank Roche in Tullamore: OFFALY 3-15 ANTRIM 1-16 Salvation for the Offaly hurlers - but where to next for Antrim and their manager, Davy Fitzgerald? Not for the first time this summer, the beleaguered Saffrons paid a heavy price for their indiscipline as they lost to a jittery Offaly and paid the ultimate price – demotion to the Joe McDonagh Cup. And yet, in the circumstances, the hosts made life incredibly difficult for themselves as they retained their Leinster senior status and demoted Antrim in the process. They had all the elements, literally and metaphorically, in their favour when they led by 2-9 to 0-11 at half-time. They had the backing of a second half gale and an extra man, an advantage they had held from the seventh minute after Antrim defender Niall O'Connor was sent off. Referee Michael Kennedy flashed a straight red after consulting with his umpires, GAA+ replays indicating a stamp on Offaly danger man Charlie Mitchell. That four-point interval lead had stretched to six by the 44th minute, but Offaly then endured a horrendous 20-minute scoring famine. For a while, it appeared as they were playing with treacle in their boots and – even against the wind – 14-man Antrim slowly started to believe, cutting the lead to a goal shortly beyond the hour. Mitchell, who had a strong shout for Man of the Match, gave home fans some belated reason to cheer with a superb point from the stand side touchline. But then, in the next play, Antrim went on the offensive and after a surreal bout of pinball in the Offaly goalmouth, James McNaughton buried to the net for a 65th minute goal that left just a point in it. Offaly must have been fearing the worst when Brian Duignan's goal chance was blocked by Stephen Rooney. But then sub Eoghan Cahill's clever pass from the left touchline located Killian Sampson in space, and he nailed the most important goal of Offaly's season. A Duignan free completed the scoring, but Offaly can be thankful that they didn't suffer the consequences of a desperately poor second half that yielded just 1-6. Much earlier, they had looked firmly in the box seat after Mitchell released Duignan for a smartly finished goal inside 90 seconds; and then when Dan Ravenhill drilled home a low 14th minute penalty awarded for a foul by Conor Boyd on Mitchell. 12 minutes ago The Munster games are next up at 4.00 with Waterford and Cork fighting for their lives. Cork need to win to qualify for the Munster final while a win would see Waterford take third place. 29 minutes ago Full-time in Parnell Park, and Galway hold on for a five point win to book their place in the Leinster final. 30 minutes ago Conal O'Riain hits Dublin's third goal, after good work from Ronan Hayes, leading to a few anxious final minutes for Galway. 33 minutes ago Sean Currie buries a 21 yard free to the back of the net for Dublin, cutting Galway's lead to seven with five to play. 35 minutes ago Killian Sampson responds instantly with a goal for Offaly, and that should see them home, leading by four with four to play. 36 minutes ago Goal for Antrim's James McNaughton. They cut Offaly's lead to one point with five to play. 43 minutes ago The fourteen men of Antrim are hanging in grimly in Tullamore, cutting the gap to four with ten minutes to go. 43 minutes ago Brian Concannon hits his fifth point of the day to move Galway nine clear with ten minutes left to play. 49 minutes ago Galway restore their six point lead with a point from distance from Tom Monaghan. 53 minutes ago Cian O'Sullivan cuts the gap to five but Conor Whelan responds instantly for Galway. 55 minutes ago Jack Grealish comes in for Daithi Burke, who was on a yellow card. 56 minutes ago Offaly are six ahead in the relegation decider in Tullamore. 58 minutes ago Galway surge five clear after points from Cathal Mannion and Conor Whelan. The momentum has swung in their favour with Dublin struggling against the breeze. Today 10:00 AM Galway surge three clear in Parnell Park, after points from TJ Brennan and Conor Whelan.

Donegal v Armagh brawl slammed as Gardaí forced to intervene
Gardaí were forced to intervene as a brawl broke out following Donegal's Ulster final win over Armagh on Saturday. There were ugly scenes at the final whistle after Donegal edged out Armagh by a single point after extra-time. Niall O'Donnell was the hero for Jim McGuinness' men as he kicked what the winning point with two minutes to go in extra-time, with Donegal closing out the game to become the 100th winner of the Anglo Celt Cup as they won by 2-23 to 0-28. A brawl broke out following the final whistle in Clones as members of both sides were involved and Gardaí were forced to step in. Speaking after the game, McGuinness said on the unsavoury scenes: 'I don't have a perspective on that. It's not nice to see. It shouldn't happen. I was giving my daughter a hug at the time. I didn't see what happened, but it shouldn't be in the game.' GAA disciplinary officials are now expected to review footage of the incident, with suspensions possible. The row broke out as fans made their way on to the pitch after the game. Meanwhile, Michael Murphy told how days like Saturday are why he decided to come out of inter-county retirement. "Ulster is always our bread and butter, it's always our thing, for so many years we could never win them," he told RTE after being named the Man of the Match. "It's just brilliant to get back in again and just the heart and the desire of them lads out there today, the people in Donegal in general. "There were times when we were in (the game), we were out and we were back in and back out, but it's just great that we got out on the right side of it there today." He added on Armagh: "Listen, Armagh are an absolute incredible side, they're an absolute credit. They're All-Ireland champions, they've been in Ulster finals the last number of years. "They're a brilliant side. It's not the last we're going to see of them this year."

'Genius' Yamal dazzles again for Barcelona in epic duel with Inter
FC Barcelona's Lamine YAMAL celebrates scoring his side's first goal during the UEFA Champions League soccer match between FC Barcelona and Inter Milan at Stadio olimpico Lluis Companys. Andrea Amato/Ipa Sport / Ipa-Age/LiveMedia-IPA/ZUMA Press Wire/dpa Inter Milan's Denzel Dumfries may have been named Man of the Match with his two goals and one assist but it was Barcelona youngster Lamine Yamal everybody was talking about again after the teams' 3-3 draw in a Champions League semi-final for the ages. Comparisons to Lionel Messi were aplenty after the 17-year-old had dazzled once more, not only scoring an important goal but tormenting the Inter defence throughout the night and hitting the crossbar twice. Advertisement 'They already have the same fear of Yamal as they do of Messi," Spanish sports paper Marca said. In England, Manchester City striker Erling Haaland said on Snapchat that "this guy is incredible." The Inter camp was also impressed, as not even doubling up against Yamal worked. "Lamine is the kind of talent that comes along every 50 years. I've not seen a player like him for years," coach Simone Inzaghi said. Defender Alessandro Bastoni named Yamal "the best player in the world. He makes it all look so easy." Yamal's classy goal in the 24th minute to ignite Barca's comeback from an early 2-0 deficit made him the youngest scorer in a Champions League semi-final at 17 years 291 days, the latest of many age records in his career. Advertisement At least as remarkable is that the match was already his 100th for the club, two years and one day after his debut as a 15-year-old. Yamal won Euro 2024 with Spain and has three titles with Barca, La Liga in 2023, and the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey this year, far more than Messi had at the same age. Barca lead La Liga this season and can win the Champions League for a treble which their coach Hansi Flick achieved with Bayern Munich in 2020. Flick named Yamal "special" and "a genius." "He showed us the way because making it 2-1 was really important. He's a fantastic player and you see his quality in big games. It's great to have him here," Flick said. Advertisement But the coach quickly also praised his whole team after the comeback from 2-0 and 3-2 down. "They gave everything and we can be proud. We played well and kept our style and picked ourselves up after conceding twice," Flick said. Barca must now win at San Siro on Tuesday to reach the May 31 final in Munich, and another Lamine gala could help in this respect. "The second leg is still to come and we have to win it. It's a final before the final. We have 90 minutes to get to the final, our objective. We have a chance," Flick said.
