I know the Community/Charity shield is not a major thropy...but can anyone explain like why is this? I mean it is not a friendly match type of cup like the Amsterdam Cup or like the Emierates Cup or like the Vodaphone Cup...it is played at Wembley and is part of the honors list/thropy cabinet so why can't it be part of like the treble and quadruple and stuff like that? Not any team can get into it and it is played at Wembley now which is a big staduim! Do you people think it should get more importance than it has at the moment? I mean if Man United win the 'double' (CL and EPL) and they already won the Community sheild...that is like winning 3 cups out of 5 competitions they played in which is quite good...Rafa himself adds that to his wonderful 7 finals he has taken liverpool too lol and the scousers claimed BUT WE WERE NOT THROPHYLESS LAST SEASON!! (all pointing towards the sheild)...
My question for discussion is: in your view should it be held in greater regard and be apart of the double, treble, quadruple equation (i mean if liverpool's league cup and uefa cup and fa cup can be a treble)...I think it should be of greater importance only because it is not a friendly invited competiton or a simple pre-season cup..but instead it is apart of the honors list for english clubs...
or do you people think it should be relegeated to a pre-season cup?
Another thing I would like to say is..why can't this game be played overseas like the Italian version is..? People are asking for the EPL to be taken overseason but why can't this community shield be as like a small step or like a test to see if it will be successfull (and the FA will make much more cash!) I wouldn't mind flying to Kuala Lumpur (example) from Australia to watch Man United play say Chelsea? in the Community Shield..I mean the europeans shouldn't just hog all the fun
