    Of course, Manchester United opened things up in England last weekend by winning the FA Community Shield with a 2-0 victory over Wigan Athletic.

    This morning, the Premier League kicked off and the Scousers opened the season with a 1-0 win over Stoke City. Former Chelsea boy Daniel Sturridge scored the lone goal and keeper Simone Mignolet stopped an 89th minute penalty to secure the win for the Reds. Good start from Mignolet, in his first match since joining Liverpool from Sunderland this Summer.

    Today is my daughter's 12th birthday. We stopped at a couple of soccer shops near my house and here was her take from there: Chelsea 2012/13 home jersey, 2012/13 away jersey, 2013/14 home jersey, a mini scarf, pin, and patch.

    Yeah that was good stuff. I liked the view of the Chelsea players (Torres and ?) splitting the Hull City wall open when the ball was struck. Nice start to the season with a 2-0 win.

    On Wednesday Chelsea host Aston Villa, who beat Arsenal 3-1 yesterday. Should be a tough match. Then, next Monday, it's a visit to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.

    The exciting thing for me this season is that I only have one day a month when I have to be somewhere at a specific time. Therefore, I won't be missing many (if any) Chelsea matches.

    A lot of soccer going on today today at 2:30pm ET with UEFA Champions League action. Fox Soccer Channel has Pacos de Ferreira vs. Zenit St. Petersburg. Fox Sports 1 has PSV Eindhoven vs. AC Milan. Fox Sports 2 is airing Lyon vs. Real Sociedad. Fox Sports Ohio is airing Viktoria Plzen vs. Maribor.

    Then tonight at 8pm ET, got W Connection vs. Houston in CONCACAF Champions League on Fox Sports 1, and then at 10pm ET, Los Angeles vs. Cartagines on Fox Soccer Plus.

    So it's gonna be a very soccer heavy night for me.

    Since I'm currently manager of PSV Eindhoven in my manager career on FIFA 13, I'm gonna be rolling with PSV Eindhoven vs. AC Milan on Fox Sports 1 at 2:30, then will catch W Connection vs. Houston also on Fox Sports 1 at 8pm. I'll probably also do some flipping over to Pacos de Ferreira vs. Zenit St. Petersburg on Fox Soccer Channel, since Fox Sports 1 is channel 1317 and Fox Soccer Channel is 1318 in the HD channels for me on Time Warner, so I can just jump back and forth real quick.

    A good match today. AC Milan struck first about 15 minutes in, but PSV Eindhoven equalized in the second half and the first leg of this Playoff Round 1 battle ends in a 1-1 draw. Now to wait for the second leg at San Siro next Wednesday.

    I had that match on while I was working today. I'm watching the Zenit match, which I recorded, now. Of course, I'll be watching Houston tonight.

    Tomorrow is more of the same with Champions League Qualifying that includes Arsenal and a Premier League match with Chelsea and Aston Villa.

    All of that is stuff I would have missed prior to last week. Fuck you, The Man!

    I'm starting to follow MLS a little more. Watching the Whitecaps go from 2nd to 5th in one weekend was a real shock. Damn you Colorado!

    I'm in one with some local buddies again this year. I wish I had known a few weeks ago that you'd be interested in Fantasy Football.

    Chelsea escape with a 2-1 win over Villa. A bit of luck for the Blues when the officials missed a potential handball in the area against John Terry in the late stages.

    I'm trying to figure out how the hell you forget to pack your team's kits. The most important part of your job when traveling for a match, and you FORGET!

    Chelsea goes to Old Trafford and gets a point after a 0-0 match. Never a bad thing getting a point from Man U on the road.
