UNICEF Charity Match - The Boots Worn by Legends Such as Cafu, Figo and Ronaldinho - Part 2

After we yesterday took a closer look at the boots worn by the 'Great Britain & Ireland' squad in Saturday's UNICEF Charity match at Old Trafford, we today analyze the cleats worn by the Rest Of The World squad. Managed by Carlo Ancelotti, the Rest Of The World selection features such legendary players as Edwin van der Sar, Cafu, Fernando Hierro, Luis Figo, Ronaldinho and Robert Pires.

While there were again various special boot choices including the on-pitch debut of the next-gen Nike Tiempo Legend 6 Boots in a blackout version, some of the players who were set to take part in the match including Zidane, Vieira and Maxwell were not able to participate in light of the tragic events in Paris.

Even though Landon Donovan already showed off the black next-gen Nike Tiempo Legend Boots some days ago, the former US international gave the sixth generation of the Nike Tiempo Legend Boots a relatively unexpected on-pitch debut.

Special | Christian Karembeu - 14 Katana TRX

Former French international Christian Karembeu missed the match on Saturday due to the Paris attacks. Nevertheless, we are still keen to know which boots he wore in the Corazon Classic charity match between Real Madrid Leyendas and Liverpool Legends this summer. So we would be glad if you could help out us.

Update - big thanks to Stephan Baker: Karembeu has been wearing the Katana TRX Boots, made by Swiss sportswear company Fourteen.

Schlotterbeck Deliberately Wears His Football Socks the Wrong Way Round

Borussia Dortmund and Germany defender Nico Schlotterbeck has a very specific habit regarding his matchday attire. The centre-back deliberately wears his football socks the wrong way round - the back is on the front, and the front is on the back.

In 2025, the Borussia Dortmund & Germany center back once told SPORT1 that this was one of his unique habits.
