2008 Community Shield: Portsmouth vs. Manchester United

The Community Shield is the annual pre-season event that pits the winner of the FA Cup against the winner of the Premier League. It's an exhibition match for charity but can often provide some tense action since it's usually contested between fierce rivals. For the first time in God knows how long (mid-90s?) the Shield features a club outside the "Big Four."
