Anita's own world...

In front of a sell-out crowd at Wembley, Chelsea today lost the inofficial season opener - the so-called Community Shield - against Manchester United on penalties. The match between the current league champions and Cup winners was tied one apiece after the regular 90 minutes, and there was no extra time before the spot-kicks, which Manchester won 3-0.

The first half was quite entertaining, even though Chelsea, apart from missing Michael Ballack, were also without star striker Didier Drogba. A good chance fell to John Obi Mikel (26'), shortly after the Blues' keeper Petr Cech had brilliantly saved from United's Ryan Giggs. However, on 34 minutes the Welshman was given another opportunity and this time he left Cech no chance. Chelsea equalised shortly before the break, new signing Florent Malouda getting on the end of a fine pass from Ashley Cole to finish coolly.

After the restart, the game was a rather half-baked affair. The players suffered from the heat - 30-plus degrees Celsius - and couldn't create clear-cut opportunities, even though both sides had promising moves. Thus the encounter was decided through penalties (no extra time was played). Claudio Pizarro, Frank Lampard and Shaun Wright-Phillips stepped up for Chelsea and were all denied by United's goalie Edwin van der Sar. Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick and, as the last man to take a kick for Manchester, Wayne Rooney all scored.

This would be the result that Chelsea palying game without Balle.

As a result...u'd better not let him go. Cause...whatever, Britain is better than Spain... And Chelsea is much better than Real Madrid!!!
