The FA Cup Strikes Again

NP: Public Enemy -- Don't Believe the Hype

The FA Cup. The Greatest Spectacle in professional sports. The best tournament in professional soccer strikes again. This time, Championship League-club Burnley (think AAA) defeated Premiership Standouts Liverpool (think a good MLB team like the Cardinals).

This is just great. Liverpool came in fourth in the premiership last year and are sitting at 6th on the table currently. The manager decided he needed to bench his stars to save them from injury and got beat 1-0. That's just great. You gotta love the underdogs, and the FA Cup gives you plenty of those. Man U. has their replay against Exeter tommorrow, so look for another update. If Liverpool AND Man U. go down, look for the soccer world to turn itself upside down....and look for Chelsea to run away with the title in a now-diluted field.
