LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kick steamer xQc's poor goalkeeping performance in the Sidemen charity match this year, primarily featuring amateur YouTubers, maybe the worst ever seen in charity football games.
Over 2.5 million people watched the Sidemen Charity match at the London Stadium, featuring popular internet personalities like KSI, MrBeast, and IShowSpeed.
However, the game was a huge success, raising over £2.4 million for various charities, including a yellow card.

However, while the game was excellent entertainment for observers, xQc is unlikely to wish to recall it in the near future.
The Canadian streamer gave up eight goals in total while representing the YouTube All-Stars versus the Sidemen side; as a result, his team was defeated 8–5 on the day.
Given that xQc has hardly ever played football, there were probably very few people who expected him to put up an Alisson-like display.
Even All-Stars manager Mark Goldbridge said that he had to explain to the streamer what "standing in the net" meant before the game.
There is no disputing that xQc's performance was somewhat startling, even though he has plenty of justification for not being the best in goal.

He received one of the lowest ratings you're ever likely to see from statistics website FotMob, 0.3 out of 10.
The 27-year-old seemingly committed two mistakes that directly resulted in goals, had a save percentage of only 25%, and allowed eight goals altogether.

He did, however, have a 91% passing accuracy; perhaps he ought to have played outfield.
Fortunately, the Canadian managed to find the humor in his terrible performance, and he posted a highlight reel to his clips channel on YouTube, where it has amassed more than 136,000 views.

JiDion and Niko praised xQc's performance
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about xQc, particularly after his latest IRL stream during which he made his first foray into goalkeeping.
Unfortunately, he overslept during the stream and received backlash from the internet. However, JiDion and Niko had different opinions about xQc.
"Ay, I'm not going to lie, that boy xQc is tough. The ball was probably like going 35 mph. Blocked it with his face. That boy's tough," Jidon stated.

Niko remarked, "Listen, you guys aren't ready for it, yeah. When clips start coming out of what xQc could do in goal, he'll save it with anything."
Later on during the live stream, the two made the decision to FaceTime Kai Cenat to express their surprise at learning about xQc's remarkable goalkeeping abilities.
"You know who's low-key tough?" JiDion asked. "xQc! He's, our goalie!...he did good, he did really good." "He was saving it with everything man...He held it down. He held it down today," Niko continued.
