Community Shield

It's been an exciting turn up in the football Community Shield between the Manchester teams, Man Utd and Man City. It has been a game of sorts so far in the first half, with some amateur dramatics from the Man City side and what seemed to be a surging game from United. However, two goals from Man City in quick succession have certainly taken some of the wind out of United's sails. There's also been a big change in the body Language of United's new goalkeeper De Gea; his head is hanging and it should be as he's let in two goals on his debut for Manchester United.

The game isn't over yet but this kind of early goal scoring is something that's been lacking in City's game for a while. It is also worth noting that it is a strong habit of Manchester United to score lots of goals later on in the game. What is interesting is that now, Man City seem to have a composure and poise that they didn't have last season. And even though this is a 'friendly' game, it has all the grit and determination of top flight football.

Hopefully City's luck will turn in the new football season and Man Utd's star will fall in favour of a strong new team with the motivation to win the premiership.
