The FA Cup is one of my favourite tournaments. It is made for the underdog. It gives them enough room to cause an upset and have some truly special magical moments. There is the financial reward which goes with each win, of course - so important for development of smaller sides.

Today, then, most people who aren’t Liverpool fans, will be supporting West Ham and hoping for a memorable victory.

Liverpool start as big favourites. However, West Ham do have some dangerous players and a victory for them is not impossible. Watch it if you can.

Update: Liverpool wins in penalties in what was a memorable FA Cup final. The Gerrard goal in injury time to tie it up 3-3 and force extra time was a blinder. From there, Liverpool looked like scoring more often than the hammers in extra time. They couldn’t. That didn’t matter though as they overcame the West Ham challenge in the penalties quite easily.

The Hammers have a lot to be proud of, though. As a football fan, I couldn’t have had asked for a better final.

It is officially shaky now regarding the final of FA Cup final scheduled to be held at Wembley. The new stadium design has always looked brilliant and it is shaping up to be the same in reality as well. Football fans world over still hope for the date with Wembley on May 13th is kept.
