sorry for the thread, and im sure its posted somewhere, but when is the final scheduled to be played????

[kwik1980]

The final is scheduled for May 22 (Saturday), at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff

Incidentially, UEFA has already warned some of the English (Man Utd. and Arsenal) clubs still in the competition who have French or Brazilian international players that there is a risk that those players would be called away from preparations for the finals to play in the FIFA Centeniary match between France and Brazil in France on My 20, so should one, or both of those teams make the final, that will be a consideration.

Well one of these teams will defently make the final.

whats more important, and fa cup FINAL or some ************ little fifa ego boosting bollocks.

TOUGH CHOICE

hopefully the national teams will see sense (something fifa will never so) and then allow the players concentrate on a proper big game rather than some crappy promo bollcoks.

I recall reading comments from Sepp Blatter himself recently saying that players in the FA Cup final will not have to participate in the Brazil-France game. Or at least, the coaches will be expected to remove them after a half.

Also, I could see Brazil fielding something of an experimental side for that game as they will already know all they need to about most of the players who will take part in World Cup qualifiers over the summer.
