I'd say Robbie's team because JW is worth two of the other players plus Damian Lewis is really good too.

 

Mark Wright and Olly are two good players but I think they'd be on the losing side.

 

Absolutely amazing! :cheer:

That is a huge amount of money , all from a very simple idea that the two lads came up with , it just took off ...

That's one reason why I love it so much - it's always so joyous ^_^

Robbie Williams, Usain Bolt and Liam Payne will take part in eSoccer Aid in 2020

A number of big name stars including musician Robbie Williams and Olympian Usain Bolt will take part in a live streamed FIFA tournament to benefit Unicef, organised by Soccer Aid.

 

Soccer Aid is an annual charity football match between two teams, England and the Soccer Aid World XI, both comprised of celebrities and former professional football players.

 

The game is usually held in June but could not go ahead this month due to the coronavirus pandemic, so this digital alternative is being used as a substitute in the short term.

 

The tournament will be broadcast live on the EA Sports FIFA Twitch channel for anyone to watch and kicks off at 5pm (BST) on Saturday 27th June, with eight matches set to take place across the evening.

Viewers are encouraged to donate what they can to Unicef, who are fighting the spread of coronavirus and helping to limit the impact on children’s lives. Every £1 donated on the night will be matched by the UK government.

 

Joining Williams and Bolt at this year’s competition are singers Liam Payne and Olly Murs, Olympic athlete Sir Mo Farah, Hollywood actor James McAvoy, as well as football freestyler and presenter Liv Cooke.

 

Usain Bolt said: “I’m excited to be able to captain the side again, albeit in a slightly different setting. It’s incredible to see Soccer Aid World XI FC in the game and I can’t wait to get going in eSoccer Aid for Unicef playing with the team. I’m looking forward to seeing Robbie and catching up with him as we play. I hope everyone enjoys watching and remembers to donate!”

 

The famous faces will play each other individually, but they will be representing either England or the Soccer Aid World XI and their results will contribute to deciding which team is named champion overall.

 

Here’s a full list of the night’s fixtures (England v Soccer Aid World XI):

Hiya Laura. Soccers Aids back . Amazed they are going ahead, it's going to be really weird

But what a good idea - I'm glad they're going ahead with it.

 

They may not raise as much but can still make a difference. B-)

I think it might do pretty well under the circumstances especially as they are televising it & given the current circumstances people might feel a bit more generous

 

 

I wonder how they will get ROW players , with travel restrictions & all :unsure:
