Chelsea will have two new captains when they take on Club America on July 26: country music stars Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood.

Brooks and Yearwood will be representing the Teammates for Kids Foundation, in affiliation with Chelsea's global charity partner, Right To Play.

Speaking about the honour, Brooks said, "I am fortunate to be involved in a worldwide, sports-affiliated charity, Teammates for Kids.

"And if I had my wish, it would be that our charity has the same goals, passion and dedication for helping all children as Chelsea’s charity partner Right To Play.

"Connecting the two charities at a world-class soccer event helps bring recognition to the importance of helping children through sports."

Will Ferrel had been named 'captain' for Chelsea's last game, against AC Milan. The winner of this match will win the World Football Challenge.

11. You forgot Essien
whose two-bit, ramshackle excuse for a country destroyed our last World Cup. :grr: :banghead: :argh: :nuke:

It doesn't say much about us as a footballing nation that he isn't booed off the pitch every time he plays here. :eyes:

7. Chelsea has been a powerhouse for only the past 10 or so seasons.
Edited on Mon Jul-27-09 11:03 AM by brentspeak
In the prior 100 years or so of the clubs existence, they were always good - but never dominant.

8. I was at their game against AC Milan in Baltimore
Will Ferrell was definitely not there. Carmelo Anthony and some singer named Mario were the honorary captains that were there.

12. No that would be Sheffield United.
One stockholder and former director is a Bond movie villain, 006 in Golden Eye. :D

Firenza? They aren't that good, really...
