Remember when this was a fun thing , all about the celebrities having a laugh with the pro players. All commentary is about now is England ( hopefully ) winning against the rest of the world.
Bring back the days of the guy from man v food only lasting five minutes on the pitch. :greengrin

Tevez is making sure England don't win.

Did they not have Maradonna playing in the first one? Sure I remember him and Lothar Matthaus getting the pantomime boos.

Tbf getting Rivaldo and Rooney involved is impressive but it was always going to be downhill from Diego himself.

I always love how seriously Robbie Keane takes it. You just know he's the guy who pitches up at 5s in a full kit with shin pads and verbally abuses the fat lad making up numbers for the full hour.

That was pretty fun viewing to be fair.

I miss the days of Ben Sheppard, Jonathan Wilkes and Robbie Williams treating it like a World Cup final for Engerlund. There were times I'd probably have felt an actual major tournament win for England would have been more bearable than an England Soccer Aid win.

Do they ever really explain why some of the ROW team - both Scousers as it happens? - are actually English? Or does it not really matter?

I always just assume they have Irish ancestry.

I don't think I've ever seen anybody so happy to score a goal, it was brilliant :faf:
