To me, that's the perfect match to have right before a cup final.

The team looked confident without being arrogant. They still had to work for it, but not so much they'll have tired legs. Arteta was able to rotate a bit, so everybody will be fitter on Sunday. Some starters, like Zubimendi will have been able to get half an hour off. Some likely substitutes like Mosquera, MLS, Norgaard, etc. will have had a few minutes to shake the rust off.

I just wish Odegaard was fit. I assume 0 minutes today means he's not playing at all in the final. But, maybe he'll be able to start after the international break. A match against a lower-league team is the perfect opportunity to get some minutes into his legs without risking much.

Does anyone know where I might be able to watch a stream of this Carabao Cup final in Australia? I think Paramount does it but I refuse to subscribe to their services.

I heard the club shows a stream on their website is this correct?

I'm almost positive the club doesn't show a stream on their site. Exclusive streaming rights are one of the main ways that the FA and clubs make money. They probably do an audio commentary stream though.

That’d probably do I guess

You can also put on an eyepatch. Streams that may possibly be violating copyright are not hard to find. Just use an ad blocker and a private window.

I probably will try this path.

A radio broadcast will do. Bring back the old days living in the outback, listening to sports events on radio then waiting two days for someone to bring a taped VHS of it back for everyone in town to watch.
