WATCH: England Soccer Aid Team Welcomes New Players With Brilliant Hot Cup of Tea Prank

Phil Neville looks terrified

If you're a new member of the England Soccer Aid team then you better prepare yourself to be pranked by Paddy McGuinness and the rest of the team. Roy Hodgson's full England squad might be together preparing for Euro 2016 kicking off in just under two weeks.

But it's all about the Soccer Aid game between England and the Rest of the World this Sunday at Old Trafford. The annual game is held at the home of Manchester United and sees a host of top former players star alongside a load of famous celebrities all in the name of Unicef.

Both teams started training at Wednesday and all the usuals were in attendance. Robbie Williams captains the England team, with TV presenter Jonathan Wilkes, McFly's Danny Jones, comedian John Bishop and singer Olly Murs all appearing again.

The Rest of the World will have Kasabian's Serge Pizzorno, legendary jockey Sir AP McCoy, actor Michael Sheen, Welsh rugby great Gareth Thomas and a host of other famous faces. But there will also be some football legends playing too, including Jamie Carragher, Robbie Fowler and David Seaman for England and Cafu, Samuel Eto'o and Ronaldinho for the Rest of the World.


England will also have a few new men in their team this year - namely former Manchester United and Everton star Phil Neville and One Direction's Louis Tomlinson. And the welcome they got from the team this week was pretty hilarious.

Comedian McGuinness leads the way by walking back from the front of the bus with what appears to be a few hot cups of tea. But they're actually empty - something Neville and Tomlinson don't know - and McGuinness goes on to give them a fright by pretending to spill it all over them.

As you'd expect, others were on hand to record it all - with Tomlinson up first:

The England team didn't waste any time in pranking Neville either - with a video of his scare coming earlier today:


Neville looks genuinely scared when the cups go flying his way.

Sunday's game proves to be a really enjoyable day for the players and the thousands of supporters who will pack into Old Trafford to watch on. With banter like this, you can expect McGuinness and the England team to conjure up some funny moments then too.
