Manchester United wins Charity Shield

After a 1-1 draw, Man Utd won the game by penalties. 3-0 is the scoreline.

But lets look at the game first. Man Utd, having an average game, open the scoring with Ryan Giggs unmarked, blasting the top corner of the goal, leaving the defense helpless, while Malouda is showing a lot of promise with his effort that got him the goal a few minutes later.

Other players that shined includes Shaun Wright Phillips. My only concern is that this young dude does not look at where he's crossing.

With Terry out as well, we get to see Ben Haim. And he plays like Boulahrouz!

In the end, I confirmed my knowledge that Chelsea does not know how to take penalties in a shootout. 3 misses out of 3 is weak in any level.

What Chelsea can be satisfied about is the fact that the Charity Shield winner usually does not win the EPL. We'll see.
