I dont eat before training.

And before a game ill probably have a bowl of cereal in the morning and thats it until after the game.

i drink a milk shake called, my goodnesshakes before training its like a muscle food and doesnt fill u up to much
i usually have it around 1hr before training
i sometimes have one for brekkie when i start at 4am and i dont get hungry till noon ish

u'd also need to think of hydrating and rehydrating your fluids pre game and post. foodwise as said by someone else said - pasta and protein mix(fish is best but there is others as u might know), i would say take sum bananas along fresh as well as the bruised ones. fresh ones release energy later on in the digestion and the bruised ones are for a short term fix( not like a sugar rush tho, a little longer). also something sugary for that quicker release of energy. later

If I have time on the morning I try to have porridge with some honey and/or some dried fruit like raisins,just to sweeten it up (don't like adding refined sugar if I can avoid it).Then at least an hour before the game I have something simple like tuna & pasta,just to keep the energy levels up.

I would also agree with the suggestion that you should drink plenty of fluids before hand,it's surprising how much you can loose during a game!!
