The best goals this Saturday in France and England – sorry German Bundesliga – nothing fancy came out of there – including Paolo Macado and Andre Pierre Gignac from Tolouse, who beat St Etienne, Hugo Rodallega from Wigan who beat Aston Villa, Denilson’s brilliant long range shot as Arsenal thomp Everton and Didier Drogba’s free kick in Chelsea’s win over Hull City.

The first title in Italian soccer goes to S.S. Lazio, the 2009 cup holders, who beat Inter Milan, the champions of the last four seasons, in the Italian Super Cup game that was held in Beijing China. Inter were better throughout most of the match, but conceded two goals in the second half from Matuzalem (lucky bounce) and Tommaso Rocchi (beautiful chip). Samuel Eto’o, who hardly had any help or good passes sent to him was able to make it 2-1 in the 78th minute. Diego Milito had a goal disqualified on the cause of Samuel Eto’o standing offside and disturbing the goalkeeper, despite not touching the ball.

This was Lazio’s third Super Cup trophy and the first since 2000 and it was the first title for new manager Davide Ballardini.

It wasn’t nearly like the first time the two met in the group stages… The United Stated took the lead after only nine minutes with Clint Dempsey putting the Americans in front, and 17 minutes later it was Landon Donovan with his 40th international goal, finishing a brilliant counter attack with his left.

Brazil controlled the first half but just couldn’t break the US defense and Tim Howard at goal. The second half was a different story. The Brazilians put it into gear and a minute after the break, Luis Fabiano made it 2-1 with a nice effort while spinning around his defender.

In the 73rd minute it was Fabiano again. Kaka beat Spector on the wing, crossed it to Robinho who nailed the ball to the crossbar, but Fabiano was there to score on the rebound.

Elano, who came on at the 67th minute, delivered a corner straight to Lucio’s head in the 84th minute, giving Brazil their deserved winning goal, and also making them the Confederations Cup winners for a second straight time and their third time overall. The Americans are left with the compliments and the disappointment of losing a 2-0 lead in one half.

Falkirk lost in an attempt to win their first cup since 1957.

Despite going behind less than 30 seconds from the start, Chelsea dominated and won their 5th FA Cup, their second in the last three years and third this decade. Louis Saha put Everton 1-0 up 23 seconds from the start with a great strike, but Didier Drogba made it 1-1 20 minutes later. Frank Lampard scored with his left foot from long range to give Chelsea the lead and eventually the win.

Everton were looking for their first FA Cup win since 1995 but despite the early Louis Saha goal (should have been cancelled, Pienaar was offside) Chelsea controlled the match form top to bottom and even had a legal Florent Malouda goal ignored by the ref and his lineman, as the TV shots showed the ball crossed the line.

Ashley Cole won his fifth FA Cup winners medal, the first player to achieve that since the 19th century. Hiddink leaves with Chelsea looking strong and stable unlike their Scholari phase, maybe leaving their fans wondering what would’ve been if Guus was there earlier than February.

Louis Saha, 1st minute, 1-0 Everton
