Soccer Aid 2016 - England vs Rest of the World - June 5th, ITV, 8pm Kick Off

Lord TSC

Live from Old Trafford, it's Soccer Aid! These matches are usually good fun, as a mix of celebrities, "celebrities" and legends face off in a charity match for UNICEF. Team news as follows so far.

More information should people want to donate money: http://socceraid.unicef.org.uk/

Since when was Jose English?

wasn't there talk he had pulled out so his first match managing at Old Trafford woulda been with Utd... shoulda just made him the ref and had Big Sam vs Claudio.

Bit weird that England have two managers (and 2 celeb managers) actually but I guess I really am thinking too much about this.

Corholio

It's like there's almost no other 'celebrities' that play football. More or less the same groups every year.

Mars Bar

Danny Jones won't be taking part anyway as he broke his elbow training for the game!

Harry Palmr

Damien Lewis is one of the best celeb footballers I've seen - and I've seen a few of these

Probably not on UTV Ireland :rolleyes:

Legends - Ronaldinho vs....Kieron Dyer.

HAHAHA that made me laugh, brilliant

Richard Hillman

I'll never forget Romario's "performance" a couple of years ago. A part of me died the day.

Jonathan Wilkes is pretty much just famous for playing celebrity football games at this stage. That, and being Robbie Williams mate.

Olly Murs saying Jose IS managing the team tonight. At a guess, I'd say Sam will be the "Manager" who does all the press stuff, and Jose will be on the touchline with him.

ShaneU

Niall Horan retired already?

Too Tough To Die

Not the most exotic rest of the world line up is it. 2 of them are English.

ShaneU

UTV Ireland not showing it continues their quest to be the most pointless channel ever created.

razorblunt

I wonder will Jonathan Wilkes make a muppet of himself again this year?

Lord TSC

Lol Carragher getting booed, and then Olly getting high pitched cheers.

RobertKK

The sideways passing at the very beginning by the rest of the world was like a tribute to LVG. :pac:

Would they get an audience for it? I'm not watching it and I don't know anybody who is.

Mars Bar

Olly Murs is handy enough. Brilliantly timed run and knew where he wanted the ball to be put. Not a great finish though!

RobertKK

Olly Murs reminds me of a young Danny Welbeck in front of an open goal.

Harry Palmr

What's with the booing of Carra?

Playing for a contract. Making some good runs, just needs to work on that finishing.

What makes me laugh is that Fowler isn't getting any of it :pac:

razorblunt

I'd imagine yer man Evans would be handy, seems to be decent at what ever he turns his hand too, international rugby player, plays golf close to scratch and went out with Kelly Brook

Harry Palmr

Murs would cause a manager to turn to drink.

Mars Bar

Savage pass from Fowler but that first touch was utterly criminal from whoever that guy is.

hufpc8w3adnk65

England are well on top tbh. Loving the boo-ing of carragher also I think I fancy Jose's daughter, have too get onto the lads in the United thread about the 5 a side team and see is there room

I've been informed by my niece that he is a member of a group called Jealous or something like that.

RobertKK

Robbiw Williams, another player who could have played for Ireland

His grandfather is from Kilkenny.

A bit like the effect watching Memphis had on me...

I say the majority in the crowd don't know who Fowler is

RobertKK

Ronaldinho just slightly off

Harry Palmr

Murs again! :mad:

Lord TSC

LOLly Murs

RobertKK

I stick by my earlier comment about Olly Murs

razorblunt

The left back, Fletcher looks like he doesn't know what to do with a ball.

Harry Palmr

Murs could be a drinking game by now.

mansize

Can't believe this is a thread in soccer not celebrity lolz

RobertKK

That was some challenge by Ben Shephard on Edgar Davids.

Not quite friendly.

You could say Ben has reached his... Tipping Point 😎
(Tipping Point is an awful daytime tv game show hosted by Sheppard)

The English lads are taking this hilariously seriously.

Edgar Davids is been kicked all over the pitch

No, but Edgar the star counter was nearly taken out again.

Lord TSC

Oh Robbie.

England should be at least two up.

RobertKK

Niall Horan will win this for us...

mansize

schmeichel justifiably pîssed with Shepard

A little bit bigger- but a whole lot letter

SlickRic

Having Defoe in this England attack makes this a bit of a farce.
