The third round of the FA Cup is one of the best weekends in the football calendar. Every season, when the Premier League teams enter the draw, there’s a renewed sense of excitement about watching a match-up you’ve never seen before. And unless you support one of those big teams, everyone is hoping to see a famous cup upset.
That’s what the FA Cup is all about. It’s a celebration of the English football pyramid and a competition that gives fans hope that they can achieve something special. This year, 747 teams entered, and from those early stages until now, it’s been a scrap as the lower-ranked sides battled their way through.The third round has always been a great way to start the new year.
