Coral Sports Book – The FA Cup
Coral Sports Book – THE FA CUP, the most prestigious domestic trophy in the whole world, every year without a shadow of a doubt you will hear the words on the TV or on the radio, or from your friends or by a stranger “The magic of the FA cup”. This is a competition that allows football teams from the smallest of places in England potentially battle it out with some of the biggest and best teams in Europe from the English Premiership.
It starts with preliminary rounds where the smallest of teams battle against each other to go through to the qualifying rounds, then from there we move into the official first round, or what is known as the ‘first round proper’. This is the stage where teams from England’s third and fourth tier enter, the second round will contain the same leagues, then into the third round is where all the Championship teams and Premiership teams come into it, and this is where the ‘magic happens’ FA cup 3rd round weekend is the best day to watch football if you want to see a minnow village team knock out one of the countries best team, the atmosphere is immense and not many feelings are better than 3rd round weekend.
The FA cup dates back to 1871 and between then and now the cup has seen no fewer than 42 different teams to win, the current holders are Portsmouth but as they were knocked out at the weekend by a team in a lower division, we are guaranteed new winners come the end of May.
