Kind of wish the U.S. Open Cup was held with high prestige. Gets you a spot in CONCACAF Champions League these days and most MLS sides don't care too much for it. Cup competition running since 1914 I believe it is. Love the FA Cup.

@@afcfinners yeah. In the 1913-1914 season they started the National Challenge Cup for football here, it's been running every year ever since. Only COVID the last 2 seasons had postponed it. $300,000 prize for the winners with a spot in Champions League. Obviously at that time it started, there wasn't much professional football going on in the country but yeah.

@@afcfinners I feel like the lower league sides take it more serious. Since we have a close system and you can't get promoted into MLS, only way to play in a CONCACAF tournament is to win the Open Cup.

A year late to the party but still a grateful American here; It's easy to find a lot of FIFA playthroughs and modern commentary videos, but a lot more difficult to find quality historical pieces. Keep up the great work. 👍

Lost of great storys hear, but I think the fact that Arsenal didn't win any of the early Fa cup finals to being the club with the most final wins is quite amazing 👏🏼👏🏼
