How many second division teams ever won the FA cup?

How many underdogs beat favourites and made the headlines?

Doesn't really matter if they don't even reach the semi-final.

 

[JCK]

They are if they assume they'll reach the CL semi-finals and adjust to that thought.

I thought we were talking about money management here.

ok then, how many times did fiorentina reach the semies?

So now you lowered your standard from actually winning the cup to reaching the semi final, I guess we are getting somewhere in this discussion.

Well then Skonto Riga should work with what they have. You're suggesting they go bankrupt because they're not in the CL. I say that, if they're not in it, they shouldn't act as if they are.

My point is that they're far more likely than whatever team Lithuania might boast.

You want reduced quality, poorer games and lots of excitment coming from some Lithuanian donkey running back and forth across the pitch? Well that's fine by me, but seriously don't expect me to back your idea.

Actually, someone forbid them from being in it because in Holland people would rather watch Liverpool than Dynamo Bucharest thus Heineken is willing to pump in more money for that sake.

It is all up to which organization can raise more sponsor money that make the simple minded fall into their campaigns; that organization would host a "better" competition. Either way the poor teams (I refuse to call them small and poor just because I compare them to others) will be getting poorer and nearing vanishing.

exactly so Platini wont make any drastic measures after he comes into office and actually has to deal with the politics and large corporations.Trust me on that but keep the hope you never with a guy like that in office.

i wouldn't mind it really, unless if Juve come in fourth next season then we will have a problem with Michelle.umpkin:

@Fli,yeah FA cup is a good example really giving the underdogs a fair go.Mybe they early stages should be like that based on uefa seedings. If ur the better team then u should be able to win away.

Actually it is you who's the donkey if you consider any football player that does not play in the best four teams in Serie A a donkey. And you won't back up my idea because you are already a victim. I say UEFA have achieved their goal with you. Now they will try even more to get more fish in their net.

If Skonto's good they can be in the CL. Let's put Milan in the Hungarian competition and see if they reach the CL next year.

I meant a donkey from a nearby field , not the players.

 

[Joaco]

it's fair but we all know that unkonws teams doesn't sell shirts. UEFA wants money and for that reason a team from Liechestein won't play the CL

yet you have the nerve to bash americans... you're becoming a bigger hypocrite than andy...

I forgot, anyone but belgians actually do care about their nation. Jeez, Fli, don't take it personally. I know fuck about Lithuania and I'm not going to pretend I do. After all I was just joking.

You should have stayed on what I understood because your explanation is ten fold worse.

Yeah sure, we all know much I hate Lithuania and glorify Belgium. FFS people should stop being so patriotic.

Anyway, even I want to return to a knockout system, that's not really the question here. I simply don't agree with the fact Lithuania should have one spot just as Italy. Some countries should get more spots, because they provide better teams, only fair. If you don't think it is, then I welcome you to capitalism.
