THE TREND continues: Michael Essien and Sulley Muntari accepted the challenge from Mario Balotelli and did the Ice Bucket Challenge, as did new signing Pablo Armero. Essien challenged Milan’s Stephan El Shaarawy and Salomon Kalou & Florent Malouda, Muntari nominated Marco Materazzi and Emmanuel Adebayor while Armero wants Cristian Zapata and Víctor Ibarbo to do it as well. Nigel De Jong was the first Milan player to do the challenge, followed by Balo.

Per Wikipedia: “The Ice Bucket Challenge, sometimes called the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, is an activity involving dumping a bucket of ice water on one’s head or donating to the ALS Association in the US. It went viral throughout social media during the Northern Hemisphere summer of 2014.

“The challenge dares nominated participants to have a bucket of ice water poured on their head. One common stipulation gives 24 hours from the time they are nominated to complete the dare; otherwise, the participant is asked to donate money to charity.” Many famous people have done the challenge and millions of dollas have been donated for ALS research.
