Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno scores wonder goal during ITV 'Soccer Aid' match

Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno scored a wonder goal during tonight's (May 27) Soccer Aid match in Manchester - scroll down and click below to watch it.

The guitarist gave the Rest Of The World side a first-half lead with a curling first-time chip over the England XI's goalkeeper David Seaman. He went on to receive the Man Of The Match award from ITV1 commentator Graham Taylor, who commented:

"Scoring a goal like that at Old Trafford is something that's going to stay with him for the rest of his life"

Speaking after the game, Pizzorno said he was "honoured" to be asked to play in the match, and dedicated his goal to bandmate Tom Meighan, who he said had just become a father. "I'm proud of that one," he added of his goal.

Pizzorno's strike eventually proved to be the consolation in a 3-1 defeat for the Rest Of The World, who also fielded the likes of Michael Sheen, Woody Harrelson and Will Ferrell. Meanwhile, match organiser Robbie Williams turned out for the England XI along with Olly Murs and members of JLS.

It's not the first time Pizzorno, who had youth trials for Nottingham Forest FC, has shown his footballing prowess on the telly. He infamously scored a scintillating volley in the Road To Wembley Segment of Soccer AM in 2006.

Table Talk - From 'The Outsider'
22 jun  |  These are the four round robin groups for the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) Asian Cup which gets under way on July 7 in Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia. The groupings look stranger and stranger the longer you look at them.

Of the 16 competing nations only two – Australia and South Korea - are current members of the coalition of the willing (Japan and Thailand withdrew in 2006 and 2004 respectively). Australian sits in the same group as Iraq and the competition includes not only Iran but also Saudi Arabia and China. On human rights, the competing countries include some dismal performers – China, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam – while Australia hovers at the edge of this list though not as a persistent offender.

The question might be – is football a force for good where geopolitical tension and human rights are concerned? Will this competition make war against Iran less likely? Will it improve China’s acceptance of western views on personal freedom? . . read more
