FA Community Shield

Manchester United v Chelsea - in this preseason closer between two of the most exciting soccer teams to watch, there have already been two beautiful goals. The first, scored by Ryan Giggs in the 35th minute, was set up masterfully down the left wing by Evra and Cristiano Ronaldo. Giggs, with his infinite class and patience, deftly redirected Evra's pass into the upperleft corner, leaving Cech no chance at the shot. In the 45th
minute, Chelsea struck back on a counterattack, with a sweet ball over the top to new signing Malouda, who fought off the attentions of Rio Ferdinand enough to slice the ball with the outside of his left foot, curling around Van der Sar to end up in the side netting. At this point, almost midway through the second half, it has been a well-fought match, with hard challenges and excellent wing play. Let's hope for a United victory, because I hate Jose Mourinho. Winning goal should be scored by Rooney. ~63rd minute
