On April 27 ESPN made note of the looming possibility of a National Title Match between FAB 50 #1 Northwestern and #2 IRMO meeting each other to settle the score of who will lay claim to the title of the #1 AAAA High School Varsity team in the country.

Will the rivalry between these two high school soccer powerhouses live up to the hipe? Will this be one for the ages? Will soccer fans from all over the state and beyond flock to Columbia this Saturday to see the rematch?

30,000 plus views over the past year of the controversial call that ended the IRMO run at home during the Upper State Final confirms IRMO may have some unfinished business to take care of and Northwestern may have a score to settle as to who the true Champion is.

Show the love for your team right here. I suspect both teams are ready to make the price of admission the best 8 bucks you've ever spent.

Is the replay really necessary? I am pretty sure everyone has seen it. Not trying to be a jerk in any way I am just saying.

I sure hope the game gets televised though!

No worries. Controversy always builds interest and SC Soccer can use all of the attention we can get.

And best of luck to NW too, but I'm banking on seeing an IRMO victory!

No question, a web broadcast would be a nice bonus.

I suppose anything is possible when national media gets involved.

Yes I agree but this game is huge since this is the top two teams on the ESPN Fab50. I just hope ESPN pulls through for us!

I know for a fact an ESPN writer will in attendance. No word on media support.
