FA Cup highlights

Portsmouth win's FA Cup















Harry Redknapp's Portsmouth won the FA Cup in a 1-0 victory over Cardiff City at Wembley. The lone goal came from Nwankwo Kanu at the thirty-seventh minute in a tight defensive affair. Cardiff has had few chances although the play of seventeen year-old Welsh international, Aaron Ramsey has firmly established his extraordinary promise.









FA Cup final

In just under two hours Portsmouth and Cardiff City meet for a historic FA Cup final at Wembley.

It has been a stunning year for athletics in Wales and the Bluebirds look to continue this with their first FA Cup victory since 1927. Cardiff is naturally the underdog but hopefully will have the Robbie Fowler back for the match.

Harry Redknapp, the man who should be the head coach of England, will be without Jermain Defoe but will have David James and Sol Campbell back. This should be the crowning of Harry Redknapp as he leads Portsmouth to glory. For Cardiff to pull off an epic upset they will need to play a pack the midfield, a murderous challenge given the size of the Wembley pitch and counter-attack upon weakness. Hopefully, should Portsmouth raise the trophy, England will begin to realize they have their new leader and shockingly he hails from England.
