When to eat with evening soccer games?

My games are anywhere from 6pm to 10pm (2 nights each week). Generally I don't eat before early games and have a normal dinner. For late games I've been trying to have a snack to tide me over (cottage cheese, walnuts, fruit) and then a lighter dinner. A full dinner (or even just a chicken breast) seems to be too much before a game and I don't perform well. Suggestions?

Some will shout it is to late in the day for a banana and I say hogwash your on your way to play soccer so a banana might just be what you need! You can also do a slice of toast with All Natural Peanut butter on it and the glass of milk and whey! What you need is a energizing snack with some protein like whey or just plain milk and then after you eat a meal! -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!
