A European football first today.

Any guesses?

 

Are Liverpool playing on a day when they are tenuously linked to some sort of tragedy?

 

Probably something to do with derbies.

 

Is there going to be an Italian game where there's no cheating or bribery involved?

 

First ever La Liga weekend where every player has a sensible haircut?

 

Are all Premier League teams going to play with 2 strikers?

 

All female officials?

 

every major league has a derby game?

 

It's the Keane twins facing each other in a top flight game.

 

Chelsea are going to complete 90 mins without one player of theirs falling to the ground in or around the penalty box as though they have been shot by a sniper in the stands ?

 

First match ever to have over 1 billion quids worth of players in the two squads combined ? (@ Old Trafford).

 

700 Million quid according to the pundits here in Aus presenting the match.

Edit. Now they say over 500 million quid for each team at half-time break!

 

The two Benteke brothers playing together as strikers for Crystal Palace today?

 

First time each top flight has a team you can't colour in playing away from home?

 

A team is unchanged for the first 4 games of a season?

 

First time two teams, Forest and Villa, who have won the European Cup, have played each other outside of the top division anywhere in Europe.

 

Great one that Castro.

 

Calling it El Crapico apparently.

 

They are playing Sunday not today

 

After watching the first half, they're not really playing today either.


If the second half's the same, they'll need one of those hooters they use at rugby to wake the crowd up at home time.


El crapico in deed.
