United 2-1 Boca Juniors

A friendly dressed up as the Audi Cup. Missed the first half, still at work, but managed to locate some live streaming video for the remainder of the game. A chance to see Valencia, Craig Cathcart get his debut and the new style shirts. Looked a competitive match with Boca pressing from 2 goals down to pull one back.

Free streaming video isn't the best viewing experience, but hey it doesn't cost and if someone wants to hook up their Tv to the wires of the web who can stop them. Well someone does because four streams were shut down for infringement of copyright whilst I jumped from site to site. Not seen that before and no doubt it will happen more this season. But as I've written many times before technology in the hands of the many will overcome the efforts of corporations to protect their media rights. After a few minutes found another more reliable site to catch Rooney getting the man of the match award.

More Audi Cup tomorrow - it's the final - and I'll be hunting down the game. It's out there on the web you've just got to be prepared for something unreliable.

Kuszczak; O'Shea, Cathcart, Brown (Ferdinand 37), Fabio (Evra 77); Valencia (Nani 68), Anderson (Fletcher 77), Carrick (Scholes 77), Park (Giggs 68); Rooney, Macheda (Berbatov 68).
Subs not used: Foster, Tosic, Vidic, Evans, Gibson.
Goals: Anderson 23, Valencia 42

I think you've made some sort of error there. You've got Anderson as one of the goalscorers. I know those streaming sites are pretty poor quality but think that Anderson could score ....

I mean I wasn't a penalty so you can be sure it wasn't Anderson ;)

I had to double check myself. It's official. It's a stunning free kick. Maybe he can only score when the ball is still on the ground.

Fergie tips him for lots of goals this season which is a bit optimistic :
