Obviously, there is a lot of lore there, and we're not the ones to shy away from fun conversations, and I think it's going to be a really good game and really good atmosphere, too. The fans would be into it. Also, there's like a theme at play. So, just a lot of hype around the match, and personally, I think that this team does really well off that. So, I think mostly."
