Come on HT, just enjoy it rather than having to turn it into a dig or a point in an argument all the time.
Lesson for today hemsie, all major football leagues have a cup competition but name it differently. The Spanish league is best in world IMO but they do not have the "Fa Cup" but they do have the Spanish cup which is just as good as the Fa Cup
On 18/19th December 2012 it was their last 16 round. 8 games, average attendance over 33,000, 3 of 8 games sold out, over 77,000 at Dortmund. Quarter finals are today and tomorrow, including B München v B Dortmund. You Reds!
Just checked: FSV Mainz 05 vs. SC Freiburg Kickers Offenbach vs. VfL Wolfsburg VfB Stuttgart vs. VfL Bochum Bayern München vs. Borussia Dortmund Maybe even an appearance for Heinz Müller aat FSV Mainz.
Yes Decent chance for a smaller club this year as the 2 big names play each other. http://www.dfb.de/index.php?id=5123...ltag=4&cHash=e9f22f1b832652951a2455455d341995 By the way I got my dates wrong the quarter finals are on 26/27 Feb not today.
Question for anyone. Do any of the foreign cups include all clubs at the start like ours? Or are they just for the professional clubs?
Not sure about other countries but the German cup is open to 64 teams, including all the first top 2 divisions, which leaves 21 places open to regional cup competition winners. Since any team can enter these regional cups, in effect any team has a route through to the main cup. Non-league teams can and do get through.
