Today, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney has been selected to star in GALAXY 11, Samsung's all star squad of some of the greatest footballers in the world.
Rooney joins the GALAXY 11 line-up that reads like a who's who of world football talent: current FIFA Ballon d'Or holder Lionel Messi (Captain), Real Madrid and Spain shot stopper Iker Casillas, Bayern Munich and Germany star Mario G tze, Italy and AC Milan striker El Shaarawy, Chelsea's Brazilian midfielder Oscar, Nigerian international Victor Moses, Shanghai East Asia and China Midfielder Wu Lei, Bolton Wanderers and South Korea Midfielder Lee Chung-Yong and Monaco goal scorer Radamel Falcao, with the final players set to be announced over the coming days.
The squad of top-class footballers from around the world will attempt to save Earth from alien domination in a winner takes all match on a virtual football pitch.
Rooney's selection for the GALAXY 11 line up was featured in a short video today, providing fans a glimpse of how he was chosen to join the team. The video, Rooney joins #GALAXY11, shows the Manchester United star sparring in a boxing ring in preparation for the big game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bhT-5BTSyk&feature=youtu.be
Wayne Rooney commented on his GALAXY 11 selection: It's a great honour to be selected for the team alongside some of the world's greatest football players. Hopefully Ill be able to bring my qualities and English spirit to the team and 2014 is going to be a huge year for me with club, country and now the GALAXY 11, so keep watching.
Football legend Franz Beckenbauer, a World Cup winner as both player and manager for Germany, will lead the GALAXY 11 team in their quest to conquer the mysterious alien invasion. In December fans from around the world will be able to watch and follow the dramatic journey of the entire GALAXY 11 team as they begin training for Earth's ultimate showdown.
