		The FA Community Shield (formerly the Charity Shield) is an English association football trophy.
		It is contested in an annual match between the champions of the FA Premier League and the winners of the FA Cup.
		The game is decided on the day with extra-time and a penalty shoot-out if the scores are level, though until 1993 the cup was shared if the game was drawn (with the exception of the 1974 match, which Liverpool won on penalties after a 1-1 draw).

		It was inaugurated as the FA Charity Shield in 1908 and retained that title until 2002, when it was re-christened the FA Community Shield.
		It was to rescue the Charity Shield from public indifference and competitive obscurity that the FA formalised it in 1974 as a pre-season televised showpiece between League champions and FA Cup winners, to be staged at Wembley.
		Their 2006 FA Community Shield clash is likely to be keenly contested, and although the losing manager will no doubt try to shrug the match off as just a glorified friendly, you can be sure it will mean much more than that, win or lose.
