, took place 150 years ago at a cricket ground. It was watched by 2,000 people and was won by an amateur team of former public schoolboys, as the Wanderers beat a team of full-time soldiers, the Royal Engineers, 1-0. This Saturday’s match, between, will look very different. Wembley stadium will be packed with 90,000 spectators; as many as 500m people around the world will tune in. The women’s final, between Chelsea and Manchester City, will take place on Sunday.
Goal tallies not just in finals but across the broader knock-out competition reflect the evolution of the game. That first one-goal final in 1872 was scarcely representative of the tournament’s early years. In the 1880s FA Cup matches yielded almost five goals on average. The mean tally stayed above three from the 1920s to the 1960s; in 45 games ten goals or more were scored.
I like the women's cup because they all try so hard even though they're not very good
So you're saying female goalkeepers and defenders are worse than their male counterparts? Interesting.
Your stupid articles are destroying the environment.
They need to make the goal for men 30cm wider. And raise the net 10cm in tennis .
