The Community Shield is the signal that the EPL season is one week away.
Oh, yes, what a glorious week leading up the start of the season it is.
August 14th is set to kickoff the season.
Manchester United battled archrival Chelsea at Wembley Sunday afternoon.
At stake the Community Shield title.
Both sides threw their best Sunday punches at each other.
In the end, Man U defeated the Blues 3-1.
The Blues and Man U looked in top form.
This will spell trouble for the rest of the EPL.
Rooney set up the Reds first goal.
The Rooney man fired a perfect cross to mate Antonio Valencia.
Valencia deposited the ball into the back of the net in the 41st minute.
The Blues kept up the pressure in the second half but they couldn’t crack the code.
Man U Javier Hernandez nailed a perfect shot first off his face and then into the back of the net to give the Reds a 2-0 lead in the 75th minute.
Valencia set it with a great dribble drive down the right side of the pitch.
This push forced the Chelsea “D” to break down and give Hernandez a path to the open net.
Kalou scored in the 75th minute to cut the Reds lead to 2-1.
Sturridge fired a blast from 25 yards out. Man U’s Edwin Vander Sar blocked the initial shot.
Shot. Rebound. Score.

Zippo. Nada.
The waste of a striker Dimitar Berbatov scored in the 92nd minute to seal the deal.
Berbatov played with the Blues “D” before he forced the keeper Henrique Hilario to leave his line. Berbatov flipped the Lolly Pop shot over Hilario’s head into the back of the net.
Game, set, and match to Man U.
Hopefully Berbatov will score this year instead of stinking the joint like he did last year.

Pacaembu is hard place to play.

Argentina kicked ass and took names in the 4-1 demolishing of South Korea.
If this were a heavyweight fight, this sucker would have been stopped in the third round.
This was a TKO baby.
From the very outset, Argentinos took it straight to the undermanned South Korea side.
An own goal Park Chun-Young set the tone for the match. He knocked the ball into the back of his own off a wicked free kick from the left side of the pitch in the 16th minute.
Messi didn’t score but his mate Gonzalo Higuain nailed the hat trick (33rd, 76th, and 80th minutes.)
Higuain become the first player to hit for the hat trick in a World Cup match since Portugal’s Pauleta did it 2002 against Poland.
The head case Carlos Tevez didn’t score a goal but he showed why he is one of the best in the world.
On the pitch Tevez is great but off the pitch he is nuts.

An easy walk in goal in the 64th minute for a 1-0 Mexico lead.
Was this off side?
