This is always a good laugh. Looking at the squads, the Rest of the World look much better. Their legends are better and Nicky Byrne and Gordon Ramsey are very handy.

Ramsay gets absolutely clobbered every time he plays. Nick Byrne is probably the best.

Always a good laugh this

A squad with all these in it would have been near unbeatable 15 years ago.

Did Ralph Little and the guy from So Solid Crew retire, they used to hang around these things like a bad smell.

Ralph Little played at a high enough non-league standard in England for a good few years

The England team has the same faces every year but the ROW team legends are incredible. I remember Gordon Ramsay being completely pole-axed by Teddy Sheringham last time. Had to go to hospital and everything.

What a weak selection of nobody's.....

(I'll let you finish the joke)

Who has the bigger bus

Julez

Always enjoy this, good craic.

And, for your viewing pleasure, probably the best soccer aid goal of all by Kasabians Sergio Pizzorno. Love it.

I adore this match every time it's on and strikes me there's some bigger names this year. Can't wait

If I remember correctly Nicky Byrne had trials for Leeds united . So I would say he is the best of the celebrity players .

Byrne was a goalie though wasnt he?

Yer man Wilkes only ever seems to do these things. No Damien Lewis is dissapointing, he clattered Zidane one year and got the "they haven't come to see you, calm down" line from Redknapp.

You are right he was a goalie . A quick google search showed me that .

Woody Harrelson was funny to watch in this the last time. His peno was great to look at

The England "celebrities" aren't exactly celebrities!!!

Was there really a need to quote such a long post.

This game and the show that goes along with it is weirdly entertaining. I think it's seeing the former pros against normal people that makes it interesting. You get to see how good the pros are, even when they're well past their best.

He played for Cobh Ramblers (and Leeds youths).

My favourite moment along with the zidane nutmeg and the guy from Kasabian's peach of a goal. No one was expecting for Woody to score and he looked over the moon when he did.

Still the best of the Soccer Aid matches by a good distance was that 2010 match, it was actually pretty damn good match and the peno shoot out had you gripped, better then nearly all the matches at World Cup in 2010, check it out on youtube it's well worth a watch. well having players like Zidane, Giggs, Larsson and Figo on the pitch was amazing too. but the moment apart from Woody scoring the winning peno was this. poor Damien Lewis :pac:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYpBIaTN9lU

I like it when it's taken somewhat serious, which is why 2010 was the best match to date, you could see both teams were all out to win it. All though the line up this year isn't that impressive, here's hoping it's a entertaining match.

The band boy member's and pop singers are usual pretty damn good and are the best out of the non footballers, Olly Murs one year was the best player on park he was the only one who looked a legit threat for the English team and the lad from Mcfly made a lethal partnership with Shearer and Sheringham, he laid on a few of their goals. One a peach of a ball onto Shearer's head for a beautiful head

Some of the matches are actually pretty good, 2010 especially as some of celeb's were getting a bit feisty in the tackles and it had some awesome ex pro's and a pro still playing in Ryan Giggs . I had it in my top 10 matches of the Summer as World cup 2010, I would take that Soccer Aid match over nearly 70% of the matches at that World Cup. It was entertaining and the peno shoot out was great stuff. I like that they don't let the ex pro's take peno's.

The last match wasn't great although it had Serge's from Kasabian wonder goal but England had it won early enough.

Not too impressed with the line up, but seen as it's for Charity it's all about making money rather then been picky about the ex players and celeb's they got.

Anyone watching the preview (very SKY sports)? spooning and Sam Allardyce. You don't want to know. I didn't.

Santiago Cabrera was on his way to becoming a footballer but chose acting.

He was on Soccer AM a while back

Without looking at Wikipedia, all I know him for is for these football games and being Robbie Williams mate (which is the only reason he gets these things)

Mr Blobby

Starts in 30mins.
Kick off at 8Pm

They hollywood men have confirmed they will be swapping shirts and possibly shorts after the game.

With the likes of Jeremy Renner Sam Worthington and Santiago Cabrera, your missus should have no problem watching! :rolleyes:

Few decent players on the ROTW team.

Both teams 5/4 to win.

Mourinho still doesn't want to start Shevchenko

Jose sticking his head in the door when big sam was announcing the team was hilarious !!

ASOT

Also Adam Richman fair play, hes in serous shape compared to his Man v Food days!!

kfallon

France playing Jamaica on BT Sports
World Cup darts on Sky Sports
F1 Grand Prix on Setanta

For all the sport on live right now, I'm drawn to this

Agent Coulson

This could be a better game than a lot of the World Cup games.

Ya goalscorer betting would be good on this, took ROTW in a treble at 23/20 earlier, far better team of legends starting.
