Kickoff's an hour(ish) away, which means it's time for lineups. And, y'know, the game.
We did things a little differently for this match, in an effort to snare a few new eyeballs since this is a Big Game Sort Of Game. So, if you're new to TSF, welcome!
I mean, if you're not new and have been here a while, welcome to you too, but you know what I mean. We like new people! Make yourself known! If you are a new commenter, let us know where in the world you are.
As mentioned, this will also be the match thread for all our match-thready goodness. Enjoy the game.
