The FA cup…

Well….as you know, I’m a big soccer fan and I have written about it a few times here when something happens that I need to talk about. This weekend in the FA cup (the English Football Association), one of the many tournaments that the BPL and other European teams play in, there were happenings that made me grin like an idiot…not that I don’t look like that all the time. I wonder if it is wrong to root against teams that oppose your favorite? If it is, than I was really, really wrong this weekend…and really, really happy. that is because both Chelsea and Manchester City got beaten by teams from the lower leagues that are part of the contest….I guess I should explain how the leagues work there…they have tiers of leagues just like our A, AA, AAA, and the major leagues in baseball, but in this tournament they play each other…so you can have the analog of the the Tigers playing the Whitecaps in a win to move ahead tournament. But, that’s not what I wanted to talk about…just wanted to be happy that Man U’s nemesis all lost this weekend and they are still in it….yeah, I know, doesn’t mean much to you but it does to me….
