Three Wilderland goals, three Dwarf U shots on goal. If I included ties, I would've been two out of three already. Sadly . . . triple darn.

The number of shots saved in the first game will equal the number of goals scored in the second game.

Ooh, Beren vs Lúthien . . .

More exciting things will happen in the stands than in the pitch.
