ZolaWhile egoes of some of Chelsea players have been bruised in WC, they will be on the pitch as champions and want to put bad memories behind.

United on the other hand facing a aging backbone and with no cash to spend this summer, will probably try to give their youngsters some playing time.

Thoughts?

SpaceGhostBruised egos indeed - you should start a thread on "Which Chelsea player had the most memorable WC?"

If those are the line-ups for the Community Shield then Man U is going to get outplayed in the center.

Chelsea looked to have lost blood with departures of Cole, Ballack and maybe even Deco.
