The 306 Million Dollar Match


The most expensive match in the history of world football is set to be played tonite; with the EFL Championship Playoff Final to take place between Brentford & Fulham at Wembley. There could not be more riding on the line; with the winners instantly guaranteed 'a new life' and unparalleled riches in the Premier League; and the loser having to go back to the 24-team quagmire (or quicksand); the toughest league in the world known as the Championship.

And it gets more romantic from here: Brentford; for so long no-hopers in the English football system; mired in the throes of Leagues One & Two; have improbably made it to the higher reaches of the Championship and now the Playoffs; boasting a heralded player development system that has unearthed the likes of Said Benrahma & Bryan Mbeumo; to test the trusted faithful.

For Fulham; they will aim to go back to where they feel they belong; having been relegated last season; and they will hope to grace the Premiership again with the likes of star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic and star manager Scott Parker; who of course graced the Premiership as a player with the likes of Chelsea & Tottenham Hotspur.
