After the huge events of last weekend when the FA Cup semi finals were contested, I thought this would be a perfect time to talk about the greatest domestic football trophy in the world The FA Cup.

The FA Cup dates back since well before the World War’s and always has and always will be the pinnacle of everybody’s season. The FA Cup actually begins before the main football season when the qualifying rounds are contested by all the minnow clubs, all battling to make the draw.

The first major point in the tournament in the first round as this is where unheard of clubs can make themselves known as giant killers, but then in the third round when the Premiership teams and the Championship teams join the competition, this is known as the best day of the whole season as every single year without fail there are HUGE shock results in the FA Cup.

Not only in this round though, all the way throughout the tournament, for example last season, Liverpool were beaten at home by league one side Barnsley or in the 1972 cup final, the best team in the world at that point were Leeds United and were beaten by a division 2 Sunderland team, many see this as the biggest shock that the competition has ever seen.

Round by round the teams get halved and then when we reach the semi finals, these have notoriously been played at neutral grounds, now to the dismay of most the semi finals have been held at Wembley, which people think takes the shine off the final which is of course also played on the hallowed turf.
