Glory Glory Man Utd!!

The real Champions prevailed!
Yeah, Manchester United won the Fa Community shield after battling out with Portsmouth. This is a competition contested by the English Premier League Champions and FA Cup Winners of the Previous season, which acts as a curtain raiser for the new season which starts Next weekend. (yeah, sorry ladies, we're booked on weekend nights now on! haha). It was a great game- For Manchester Utd that is. Since this was the Curtain Raiser for the season, hopefully, this season for Man Utd will be as great if not better than this tonight. An overall great performance from Champions League and English Premier League Double Champions- Manchester United.
Outstanding Performance from the squads to me would be:
Manchester United: Tevez, Nani, Fletcher, Evra.
Portsmouth: David James.

The game was throughout controlled by Man U. But, the game ended Scoreless unfortunately, and with the rules for this competition, It straight goes to penalties. Which ended 3-1 to MU.
Van der Sar saved one, and 2 went over the bar for pompey.
At the end of the day, the deserving team won it.
Btw, such enthrawlling display from Man Utd was without the likes of Ronaldo and Rooney.
And our Captain, Gary Neville played for about 65 minutes, which is a good thing for the team.
And Portsmouth's Peter Crouch - Ex Liverpool, didnt do anything much in the game. A tree he was. =p

Now with this opening game done and dusted, Let The Season Begin...Viva La Man Utd!


The team

Manchester United: Van der Sar; Neville (Brown 67), Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra; Fletcher, O'Shea (Carrick 67), Scholes, Nani (Campbell 79); Giggs, Tevez.
