Ronaldo ? 
Rio day is shit compared to Ronaldo day. It's the Easter of football holidays.
Do you think Seville will play nice and let you win?
They better, Sevillian bastards.
I hope one of the half time surprises is me jogging out onto the pitch for a brief cameo.

Wasn't Bolt supposed to take part? A bit close to the World Championships though.
Sir Bobby? Sir Alex?
It'll probably be someone really shit.. Drake?

No injuries please. Result is irrelevant. We've struggled to beat a whole bunch of no-marks so far in pre-season so far, so I'd be far from surprised of we failed to win this one too.
I don't know how serious of a pre-season game this will be as Sevilla were just playing in Ukraine 24hrs. prior.
Wasn't Usuain Bolt supposed to play in this?
Thought so too but the World athletic championship or something starts tomorrow
Olly finally getting the recognition he deserves for his gifs.
what sort of squad are we likely to actually put out, considering we only played a few days ago and have a game so soon after?
Anyone fancy we'll announce a signing in the afternoon tomorrow prior to kickoff? That would make an even happier atmosphere and crowd at OT
I reckon we will see Januzaj and Lingard included in the squad. I wonder what surprises rio has lined up.
Scholes.
Make it so.
Make it so.
Any reason you are playing Sevilla? I can't think of a connection to Rio.
Could see this happening.
Truth is, we couldn't get Barcelona so we settled for a proven European opposition in Sevilla
Ollyofficial? 
that's either our gif magician or our super sub magician

I'm not sure if you genuinely don't know who that is, but it's Olly Murs - yes, the singer. I hope that tweet means he'll simply be a guest of Rio's sitting in the stand, not joining in the second half or anything stupid.
Is this game free to watch on that Rio Testimonial website?
Here's to a great night for Rio.
Never a better time to thank a player for a decade (and counting) of loyal service.

Yes. But you need to register beforehand to get access
Maybe Ronaldo will sign today and we can declare this Ronaldo week!
RIOnaldo Day
How do I get tickets for this match?
Glad they are taking this one seriously,hope he gets a turn out deserving of the player.
When do we get to find out teams usually for games like this? hour before? Hope we get to see some proper players out there not just clebrities. Rio says its being treated as a pre season, but i cant see that with the charity shield on sunday
Just registered for the stream, when does the coverage start?
Reckon the first half team will be decently strong - second half will probably have a mix of youth, fringe and complete randomers.
Cant wait to see how Usain Bolt does. He is still playing right?
He was supposed to, but the World Championships start tomorrow - so I'm not sure really.
He doesnt have any competition for the race though. Blake is out injured and Gay is banned. The only problem is Bolt injuring himself. Nah nothing will happen, hopefully he will play.
Slightly gutted I'm not going to see this.
Can't see it being taken seriously as a game with the Community Shield less than 2 days after, but could be fun from a seeing the younger players and second half arsing around point of view.

Hopefully the lanky French lad starts and plays the game of his life.
