The FA Cup is interesting because of its’ structure. It is an open style. In other words, it is possible for a team that is not in the premier league to move on. Though unlikely, it is the equivalent to watching minor league and major league teams play against each other in Major League Baseball in North America. That is the closest analogy that can be used.
The two most successful teams in the tournament are Arsenal and Manchester United with 12 titles each. Actually with the win in 2017 Arsenal has taken the lead with 13 titles. It will be interesting to see if Man U can even the score in 2022. Of course, there have been other teams through history to do quite well. No matter which teams are playing in the different rounds, the FA Cup is bound to be exciting. By using a VPN, you can be sure to catch all the action from anywhere.
