Georgio Chiellini becomes next player to join Juan Mata's 1% pledge. Asked to keep it underwraps so now we all know.

Hello

The soft-spoken Spaniard from Manchester United started a really admirable initiative this year pledging 1% of his salary to charity. He then asked all footballers around the world to do the same. Already known as one of the most kind players in the sport, he has already received four other players to join him on this task including two American stars, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe. Our friend Georgio was the most recent addition to the five-a-side dream team of donators. Georgio sent his email to the communications staff asking for anonymity in joining the pledge and of course the email is now all across the twitter and for that I am happy, kinda. 

Although he wanted it to be kept private, the world should know the amazing act being done by George here. Donating 10s of thousands of dollars is a hell of an act. More importantly, he was seemingly embarrassed about his English. If you are speaking in a second, third or fourth language and are producing a result like the above, you should be applauded. You will not be shamed, George. Not on my watch. Your level of English is higher than half of the deep south of the States anyways. Very classy by starting and ending with Hello and Bye as well. Who needs the business jargon of good day, dear sirs, and best regards. 

Although I'm glad we know about Curious George's kind act, fuck this reporter for leaking it. Just let the guy live huh? No need to report on everything out there 

And here we are almost two months after Juanny made his original pledge, we have our first available squad and I like the shape of it. 

Starting forward and banging in the goals for Team Common Goal. Stars and Bars flying high

The deserved captain of the side adding 

some flair and creativity. Auto start to infinity

Another american in a world XI, must be because of the women.

Pace, creativity, and work ethic. Run up and down the pitch for days.

Also best style by a longshot.

Football, a game of a played between two teams

with the Germans always winning. Welcome, Mats.

You take a bite off that werewolf and you can play

for my squad any day of the week and twice on Sunday

The squad is filling up quite nicely here for team Common Goal. I hope at some point in the near future we have a full 11 and some reserve players. The world would be a better place. 

Bye
