Just a little bit longer and I'm off to see Chelsea vs. AC Milan.....

 

Oh man I totally forgot about this game... Have a great time, J.

 

was a fun game to watch, everyone is bit loose in these pre-season games. they don't mean anything so everyone will take more chances. first drogba goal was a laser.

im gonna try and make the chelsea v. club america match at the new cowboys stadium sunday, should be a capacity crowd. we had a mexico v. haiti match here last week with 82K in attendance.

 

It was a great time, the stadium was at capacity I think, they announced the attendence at 71,000.

Drogba's goal was awesome, we were siting about 7 rows from the field just to the left of the goal, so it was great to see it so close.

The biggest cheers of the night were definately for Onyewu. As soon as he wrapped up his warm-up exercises and started heading for the sidelines the crowd started going nuts.

I'll post some pics later, hope they turned out ok.

 

How did Shevchenko look last night?

 

he had a couple good looks but his first step isn't what it used to be. look up some of his highlights from his AC days though.

 

Thanks. Shame to see/hear that he'll likely never recapture his former brilliance.....

 

Here's a few pictures.

 

First things first, Drogba absolutely punished that ball. As soon as he picked it up, I thought to myself "shoot", then bang. Just about as pure as one could strike a ball.

Chelsea looked good but Milan's lack of shape and fitness certainly helped.

 

Yo Justin, I watched my DVR of that game when I got back... congrats on the win for your boys. Drogba's goal was awesome. Actually all the goals were awesome. DD'll definitely have a place on my fantasy team. You interested in playing this year? If so, I'll email you our group info.
