By Nick Barbaro, Fri., Aug. 10, 2007
The 2007-2008 season is starting up across Europe, with most of the major leagues kicking off this weekend. Manchester United won the first competition of the year, beating Chelsea in a penalty-kick shoot-out to take the Community Shield trophy, the face-off between the winners of last year’s FA Cup and league title. Man U goalie Edwin Van Der Sar saved all three penalties he faced, as the Reds took the shoot-out, 3-0.
Countdown to kickoff: 14 days until the UT Lady Longhorns open the season in Albuquerque against New Mexico on Aug. 24. The home opener is Aug. 31 against Texas Christian University.
