    I’m playing a game 5-a-side football at 8pm tonight.

    Haven’t played in ages. The game is kinda late so I’ wondering what sorta food should I eat before it to keep me going?

    Stodge central IMO.

    I would say within reason eat a normal dinner. Make sure it has carbs. Finish eating 2-3 hours beforehand.

    Maybe a banana 30 minutes before the start if you didn't get enough carbs with your dinner.

    I have a bowl of pasta 2-3 hours before I play.
    I throw in some dolmio carbonara sauce and maybe a pack of tayto's to taste it up! :D

    What Khannie said after is important.
    If you have 2 hours, just eat a good dinner, meat and spuds veg whatever.
    You have heaps of time to digest it.

    It won't be lack of energy from food that slows you down.
