4 goals in a space of 20 minutes and Rooney capping 2 goals...a great start for Manchester United, hopefully this run can continue and get some wins under the belt!!!

What time and days are the futsal games in magallanes?

Hammers romp home

Two second-half goals from Bobby Zamora made it a disappointing return to Upton Park for new Charlton manager Iain Dowie as the Hammers ran out 3-1 winners.

 

Dowie, who enjoyed two spells at West Ham as a player, saw his side take a 14th-minute lead with a controversial penalty from Darren Bent.

 

But his hopes of getting off to a winning start were made virtually impossible by the dismissal of debutant left-back Djimi Traore in the 26th minute. Traore, a £2million signing from Liverpool, was booked for a foul on Lee Bowyer in the 23rd minute and shown the red card three minutes later when he prevented the home side from taking a quick free-kick.

 

The home side's sustained pressure brought them an equaliser in the 51st minute through Zamora. He capitalised on Charlton's failure to cut out a low right-wing cross from Bowyer to poke the ball home at the far post.

 

West Ham deservedly went in front in the 65th minute, as Zamora hooked the ball against the inside of the left-hand upright and over the line.

 

Alan Pardew's men completed the scoring in the last seconds of injury time when substitute Carlton Cole finished superbly with his first touch of the ball after replacing Marlon Harewood.

What time and days are the futsal games in magallanes?

BAD TRIP!!! TALO AJAX SA CL!!!

Juventus is sick! They will go to civil courts with their appeal. We all know that no government or civil org can interfere with sports bodies. That is a basic mandate in IOC regulations!

 

FIFA is threatening to ban all Italian national teams in all competitions including but not limited to Under 21s, Under 23s, Olympics and most importantly the World Cup, if Juve pushes through with its civil case. That means if Italy is banned, the current world champions won't be able to defend.

 

Tarnished na nga ang image ng Juventus idadamay pa ang buong Italian soccer. :thumbsdownsmiley:

 

Fcuk Juve! :grr: Cheats! Forget about their tradition and reputation all I will remember of them is that they are CHEATS!!! :grr: :grr: :grr:

I feel you, bro. I'm a Juve fan but I hate their management commitee. They kept on pushing their issue eventhough they're obviously guilty.

 

 

 

BTW, nice win by Boro. Chelsea showed early vulnerability. Let's hope the other teams will be able to take shots as well.

Manchester United with a win over Charlton, 3-0, what a great start for the Red Devils, last game was 5-1 over Aston Villa (i think, i'm not sure..)..

 

Unbelievably, Chelsea lost 2-1 to Middlesborough, two late goals to win the game for Boro, what the hell is happening to Chelsea? two losses in a span of two weeks? (they lost to Liverpool in the Community Shield..) i thought buying Sheva, Ballack & Kalou would strengthen the side..maybe the team needs time to gel..

 

i sure hope this is the start of the ascendancy of ManU back into the EPL, Sir Alex should buy Hargreaves..i wasn't able to watch the Charlton game but by what I'm hearing, Carrick played great, he was a substitute for Scholes in th 77th minute..

 

The other top teams: Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea & Tottenham are having miserable starts..Liverpool & Arsenal w/ draws in their 1st game & Chelsea & Tottenham having losses in their first & second games respectively..

 

Real Madrid wants Kaka & AC Milan want Ronaldo: is it a swap? for me its a loss for AC Milan if they swap players, Kaka still has lots of years ahead of him while Ronaldo is in the end of his career..

 

On the CL draw: ManU's group has Copenhagen, Celtic & Benfica..Benfica is still a threat, they are a great counter attacking team..Celtic can upset us but I think ManU can easily beat them..I don't know much about Copenhagen but I think its a sure win for ManU..

 

Chelsea & Barcelona on the same group again, damn, this will be a war when they meet again, if Chelsea can't find the chemistry they need to win, I think Barsa will easily dominate them..

 

Real Madrid & Lyon on the same group, I think Lyon was severly weakened when they lost key players during the transfer season, I hope Real Madrid can comeback to their winning ways..

 

Excited na ko sa bagong season..Go Manchester United!!!!...

sorry to lash out at your team like that. but they could show more class under the circumstances. :cool:

 

 

anyway, the Primera Liga is underway and here is Don Fabio's first ever teamsheet for the new season.

 

TEAMSHEET:

# Goalkeepers: Casillas and Diego López.

# Defenders: Salgado, Roberto Carlos, Cannavaro, Cicinho, Raúl Bravo, Woodgate, Pavón and Mejía.

# Midfielders: Baptista, Robinho, Guti, Emerson, Diarra, Beckham and Javi García.

# Forwards: Raúl, Van Nistelrooy and Cassano.

 

Very notable ang exclusion ni Phenom. I still think they need him, I hope they don't sell Ronaldo.

im not surrprised that juv are doing anything they can to overturn their faith this comming season. afterall Juventus like all other clubs is a business. Being out of Serrie A,Cl etc... is very bad for business. but the thing they are tryi ng to pull off is very uncalled for for a club of their stature.

 

parang si gloria yung juv pala buking na lulusot parin.the only difference is glorias getting away with her dirty tricks and juv looks like they are gonna pay for their actions ( no offence to juv or the maddame president )

[_eRon_]

Juve got what they deserved, they'll soon be back at the Serie A..

 

Manchester United won again against Watford, 2-1, admirable game by Watford but the attack of the red devils were superior in the end, more guns for ManU..

 

Sino nakapanood nung game? daming defensive blunders in Mikael Silvestre, kaya siguro excluded siya sa bagong French side..notable miss by Louis Saha in the ending minutes, dpat 3-1 scoreline, sayang nawalan ng composure sa end..Carrick played great as a holding midfielder, sana makuha din nila si Hargreaves..

 

3 out of 3 for ManU, a dream start for the red devils, sana tuloy-tuloy na to..
