Expectations can never get too high because we are expected to win the title. I think it'd be better to go into the season high on confidence myself.

Just make sure they aren´t going into the season with overconfidence. Bolton are fecking due a hammering at OT.

Do you know any good Eik Tønsberg chants? Course there's 'We hate the Scousers, and City of course (and Eik Tønsberg!!!)'.
Howard: Impressive start so far; though he's had little to do, he's done it well. Very verbal, doesn't looked phased by the occasion or the opposition, and his distribution looks very good.
Phil has, as I said earlier, looked very good going forward down the right, while Quinton has looked composed at left back, and a little less adventurous than last time. The central defenders have done what little work they've had well. Rio looks excellent so far in the preseason.
Keano has been excellent in midfield, he is confining himself to a somewhat more defensive role, but he is playing that role superbly, covering all positions in his half of the pitch. I would be thrilled if we can get this kind of performance from him on a regular basis these season. <img src="graemlins/keano.gif" border="0" alt="[Keano]" />
No one has stood out in the attack, but as a whole they have been fantastic so far. Seba is pulling all the strings, putting in many good passes. The forward four are moving around a lot and swapping positions, and it's clearly giving the Juve defense all sorts of trouble.
Keep it up lads!

We should buy him back, he can be Beckham's successor!

Apparently, the attendance is 80K........
Highest ever for that stadium...

2nd half off.....only one change for Juve and none for United
Good...Buffon is being subbed for Juventus. We should score a couple more now.
The new keeper looks old and a wee bit crazy.

May not like us much but you have to admit our goalkeeper has been impressive, so maybe that will count for something.

Is it Jim Leighton?
Second half underway, a keeper change for Juve, United makes no changes.
This match is being treated seriously by both sides.

I am surpised to see that the majority of the fans in the stands are United fans. The number of yanks with itlaian heritage in that area of US is huge, but apparently didn't find out about the game early enough

Every game so far the press has said they expect the opposition to have more fans. Tossers. We're the only big club out there on this tour. <img src="graemlins/devil.gif" border="0" alt="[Devil]" />

Don't forget, Howard played for the NY/NJ Metrostars.

Well thank God for the American Revolution.
One thing that I especialy liked about the first half is the fact that we played very physical game. Blody juve players were getting kicked around all the time. Fortune on the left, Rio made few spin movez, Keano dominated the middle, and Scholsey also had some nice tackles.
manutd.usa, would you say HOWARD is far ahead of where friedel and keller were when they were his age?
Who's on our subs bench?
Good move from Keane Giggs and Scholes....blocked out in Pen area
Giggs is just taking it to Juve. Scholes final touch stopped before he could take a shot on net.
I doubt Howard having played for the Metrostars really brought too many people to the game. I'm surprised to hear this is the highest attended game ever at the Meadowlands...............I doubt it. They've had other sellouts there.
And Howard kicks azz!
