[Other Sport] Super Bowl LV - Kansas City Chiefs v Tampa Bay Buccaneers **Official Match Thread**

[Beach Hut]

It's the big game tonight at 23:30 and 22,000 fans attending (1 in 4).

Unique as the first time in American Football history the Super bowl has a team playing in the final at their home stadium - the Bucs.

So will it be young gun Mahomes or the old man Brady who will triumph, heart says Brady but think the young gun will repeat last years performance.

See it live on BBC1 or Sky Sports

Finding it hard to get excited.

Partly because it's a 3:30am start here, so not sure I can be bothered to get up then.

Partly because the wind was taken out of my playoff sails when my team (Seattle) capitulated so woefully against the Rams. Don't think we were Superbowl-worthy, but been hard to regain enthusiasm after that.

And partly because I really don't fancy the thought of bloody Tom Brady winning again. Hopefully the Chiefs can win easily.

I'm going Chiefs by at least two scores. 31–20.

Looking forward to it, as ever, as a neutral.

I'll watch the first half and then decide whether I'm sticking around for the rest. This may depend on how well I've paced my consumption of snack products.

hoping to see brady crying later. no love for either team, but lots of dislike for that cheater.

 

[Disciple]

I don't particularly like either team but want Mahomes to beat Brady. With Spags as DC the Chiefs will have an excellent game plan. Think Brady will be looking for redemption against him for the embarrassment he dished out in 2007 but hoping he dishes up another 3 Ints today, like he did in the Championship game.

Two hours of commercials, two hours of various breaks in plays and about ten minutes of action in a sport where I dont the rules or what is happening. Looking forward to it.

You have to give credit to the NFL for completing the season, given all the circumstances. There have been some incredible matches; my interest in the sport has been totally reignited over the past few months This is probably, in part at least, because my Bills have finally become properly good again for the first time in 25 years! I'm no fan of Tom Brady, but I'm also struggling to find any enthusiasm for the Chiefs, who fans (justifiably?) seem to have a level of arrogance which reminds me of the Pats, and I fear that they may dominate for years to come. Usually cheer for the AFC team, though, so will begrudgingly root for KC tonight.

Has the potential to be a classic. The Goat versus the young man who yet usurp that title from him. I am really looking forward to the game.

Sadly for me the day has been overshadowed by the extremely sad news of Around the NFL's Chris Wesseling's passing. Such a fine man and along with the other "Heroes" on the show a companion in my ears for many many years. So sad for Lakisha as well as Dan, Marc and Gregg and all that knew Chris personally. He will be missed.

Genuinely hoping Mahomes wins the day and believe that he will.

Absolutely certain I'll fall asleep before the end and possibly before the beginning. As ever, recording it, avoiding the internet and watching with the ad breaks fast forwarded is probably the way I'll go.

As my dog isn't in this fight not that fussed about the winner - but will go with the Chiefs.

I'm more concerned about the overall result - if my Superbowl box comes up could win $100

Have taken a day off tomorrow, still not confident of staying awake

Will record it,as I always do, so that I can watch later and fast forward all the bits that aren't actual play. No real preference for a winner since the New Orleans Saints got knocked out

 

[patchamalbion]

Come On Tampa Baaaay!

Pack of xtra cheddar goldfish, all ready to go.


Actually two packs, plus a pack of parmesan goldfish too

What the Brady.....who's says " We are WORLD Champions again"

Reeeeaallllyyyyyyyyy !!!

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Hard for a Broncos fan to cheer on the Chiefs but also find it hard to support the Brady Buccs. However, you can't help but like Andy Reid and another SB for him would be great.

I have a feeling that the Buccs might just sneak this as the Chiefs D has not been great and Mahomes is still suffering from his toe injury.

 

[Medwayseagull]

Are Dan Marino, Walter Payton, Jerry Rice and the " fridge" all playing ?

 

[RandyWanger]

I will be staying up to watch it. I'd like Tampa Bay to win it and Brady doing it for the older dudes. First team to ever play in a home Super Bowl, 22,000 fans allowed in too. The NFL has invited 7,500 vaccinated health care workers to the Super Bowl for free. Lovely touch.
