Miniminter explains why the Sidemen shouldn’t do another Charity Football Match

by

UK YouTube sensation Miniminter left his followers in a state of surprise when he shared his thoughts on why, in his opinion, the Sidemen should refrain from organizing another Charity Football Match beyond the year 2025 following the highly successful event held that year.

Every year, the British YouTube collective known as The Sidemen organize a live-streamed football game between two teams made up of other content creators. The money raised from this event is donated to a charity that they select.

This year’s charity football match, often referred to as the Sidemen Charity Game, managed to collect an astounding £4,733,004 GBP (approximately $6,115,072 USD) and attracted more than 2.5 million live viewers. With such a tremendous response, Miniminter believes that their recent event will be difficult to surpass.

Miniminter sparks debate after saying Sidemen Charity Match shouldn’t continue

Based on what the YouTuber says, it seems like he thinks the Sidemen should not organize another charity match this time around, since they’ve already accomplished all their intended goals for this year’s event.

He explained that he feels we shouldn’t play another match, specifically due to the fact that this one was incredibly productive for us. We scored multiple goals – a Speed goal and a Josh goal. Additionally, we had several penalties, making it our highest-scoring game to date.

Unexpected individuals managed to score goals, such as Logan Paul, Kai, and Lachlan. It was just about everything we could have hoped for.”

This version aims to convey the same message in simpler language while maintaining a natural and easy-to-read style. The revised sentence uses more common phrases like “managed to” instead of “got,” and “just about everything we could have hoped for” instead of “everything happened that we can really ask for.” The goal is to make the text easier to understand without losing any essential meaning or impact.

Simon, also known as Miniminter, believes it might be time for The Sidemen to stop hosting charity matches, as everyone who needed to reach a score has already done so during their previous event. 🤓

As a passionate admirer of Miniminter’s work, I found myself deeply engaged in an animated discussion online, where many fellow enthusiasts expressed differing views from his perspective during the Charity Match. The crux of their argument centered around the fundamental purpose of such events – to generate funds for charitable endeavors, as clearly indicated by its title.

“That’s not really the point of the matches… they’re for charity,” one wrote.

“‘We should stop donating to charity to instead invest in aura,’” another mocked the YouTuber.

“What about the huge amount it raises for charity?” yet another asked.

So far, Miniminter hasn’t replied to the discussion triggered by his comments, yet he isn’t off base when he says this year’s game was nothing short of extraordinary.

2025’s Sidemen Charity Football Game showcased standout plays by numerous prominent figures in the online community, including Kai Cenat, MrBeast, Logan Paul, and IShowSpeed, who ultimately clinched victory for Team YouTube All Stars through a decisive penalty kick in the final moments.

Among various charity competitions organized by popular YouTube personalities, the Charity Football Match stands out. Similar events include Creator Clash, a highly anticipated boxing event featuring influencers, which plans to return for another round in the summer of 2025.
