So good to see the women bring it home, something them over paid moron men could not do. well done all the women involved.

The men won the Euros in 82, 84, 2010 and 2014 as well as the World Cup twice in 2017.

UNITED fans have been using the charity shield as a way of pointing out they have won more trophies than liverpool in english football...so yeh they obviously do and PEP always says when they win it, its the 1st trophy in the cabinet for the season

so whats good for the goose

The charity shield is a friendly.

Nobody cares about it.

So just out of interest, which charity gets the money? I have honestly never thought about it until today!

I'm not sure it goes anywhere specifically. I think the money just gets shared around.

Nobody cares if they are not in it……..

Just found this on the Daily Metro.

"Winning the match doesn’t include any progression to other tournaments and the prize money for the two clubs isn’t as higher as other tournaments, with the main focus being on raising money for charities and other football teams.

The funds are raised mostly through ticket and match programme sales, as well as through sponsorship’s and TV deals.

The money is then given to teams in the lower leagues of British football, as well as to various charities, with each team competing in the first round of the FA Cup receiving £5,000 to go towards projects in their communities."

You're right. I don't care about it.

Nobody does.

It's a pre-season friendly for England.

No its not for england….its for the FA and 40,000 fans at the king power did care and all the charities up and down the country that gain from it.

Pep cared about it too and stated many times, he likes winning the first trophy of the season, but now liverpool have won it, its back to a pre-season friendly again.

you have no skin in the english game, so if you want to argue, go somewhere else and do it….maybe kilmarnock.

 

[Slick]

Yeah Andy, away and play at your own bit.

Meanwhile in more important football news CPD Y Rhyl 1879 progressed to the next round of the Welsh Cup with a last minute winner against Abergele.

A far cry from our heady days in European Competitions but as in any football club nowadays without a rich backer you are knackered!!

I have no qualms about charities gaining from the match.

But it's a friendly. Nobody actually gives a f*ck about winning it.
