Hmm... this or Champions League...
tough call.

Champions League will probably have a higher scoring game.

Not a tough call at all actually
I just wish I could watch the final but I’m chained to my desk for a couple hours. Would it be worth putting up a final FanPost so as not to distract those that don’t care about such things?
