Yeah at level 8 there are 248 teams ABOVE them in the structure and a total of 120 at their level.
So they are somewhere between 249-368th in the country playing the #4 seed.
This is like the Pittsburgh Steelers playing a Div II college team.

And the Steelers are playing AT Angelo State University.
I laughed pulling up the list of all of the Div II teams on Wikipedia. Most of them play in 3-5,000 seatbstadiums around the country. The Texas teams pretty much all play in 15-20,000 seat stadiums.

Yes... and Marine's "ground" Rossett Park (sponsored as Marine Travel Arena) hold 3,100 so yep very similar.
They only have stands behind the goal on ONE end.
The sides are standing room only covered areas right up next to houses.

I hope we don't take any tickets - their fans deserve to see this game - what a treat.
Blowout as expected so far....
4-0 Spurs 36 minutes in and Vinicius has a hat trick.
Complete mismatch of course. Really fun to see this stadium. The sight lines are terrible because there is no elevation for the cameras. They blast these horns all the time apparently.
Dele has been feeding in brilliant balls. Their goalie made a couple of saves but Vinicius was right there for the putbacks, Lucas got a free kick just outside the box and buried it.
Very fun to watch. One of the fans has a Klopp cut out and totally had me fooled for a split second
LOL
Sometimes balls clear the side of the field into a yard. They have the house numbers that back up to the field on the fence. That way the ballboys know which yard to go into when they go around to the front side of the houses and access the yard to retrieve the ball.
Youngster Alfie Devine - 16 years old - got in the match for Tottenham and just scored in his debut.
He had been training with the first team since December.
5-0 Spurs
We certainly escaped any chance for embarrassment. There were some upsets though.
Level 4 Crawley Town beat Level 1 EPL team Leeds 3-0
Level 6 Chorley beat Level 2 Championship team Derby County 2-0
Level 3 Blackpool beat Level 1 EPL team West Brom on penalty kicks 2-2 (3-2)
couple of other Level 3 teams had mild upsets of Level 2 teams.

I actually kind of liked the camera angles, much closer to the action.
Really cool postgame stuff from several Spurs players reaching out to Marine players and thanking them for such hospitality and Reguillon offering to sign a players shirt, etc....
But Mourinho may have had the best dagger - not at Marine though.
Word was before the match that the both Liverpool and Everton which are Liverpool area teams (which is also where Marine is located) gave the Marine manager tips on beating Tottenham.
This was Jose's response
Leeds a Level 1 team lost to Crawley Town a level 4 team.
LMAO. Well played Mourinho.
FYI for the 4th round of the FA Cup we drew Wycombe Wanderers for Jan 23 at their place.
They are at the absolute bottom of Level 2 Championship currently. But they will be more dangerous though as they have nothing to lose and will be looking for something big to hang their season on as they face relegation. They will undoubtedly put their best players into this match rather than league matches.

Interesting lineup for today:
Lloris, Aurier, Sanchez, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Winks, Sissoko, Ndombele, Son, Kane
4-4-2? Diamond midfield?

what a gorgeous header by kane off a even prettier cross from roguillon. 1-0 25 min in
The way we change our play after scoring a goal is maddening
PATHETIC
Ugh.
"Texas - It's still America down here!"
The lineup today scares me
Now 5 on the backline.

Early goal. Please keep attacking.. please

We did....2-0 before half Kane with a blast.
2nd half Sheffield was all attacking and got a goal about 58' but we got one back 3 mins later.
Ndombele with a magical goal really. A lob into him and nearly backwards lift flicking it up across the entire front of the goal over the goalies head and into the bottom right corner. You gotta see it.

3-1 now. 65'
I'm so frustrated with NBC putting big games on Peacock. It's not good for the sport in the US
Big games need eyeballs and not behind subscription

Rodon has been brilliant, especially passing
Davies not big and strong enough has been our only weakness today

Sorry should've been more clear. Liverpool vs United next game
gotcha yeah now I'm pleasantly surprised when a game is on NBCSN and not Peacock.....I don't know if they are using it to try to promote Peacock because there is nothing on NBCSN next - literally one of those previously aired auto auction shows.
I've bitten the bullet on Peacock at least for the 8 months or so of the EPL season. They got me.

So we held on - and in fact looked good down the stretch too some great chances for us in the last 10-15 mins and very little really developed for them.
Back to a tie for 3rd in the EPL at least for now.
ManU 36
Leicester 35
Liverpool 33
Tottenham 33
ManCity 32
Everton 32
ManU plays at Liverpool next
ManCity plays CP
Everton at AV was postponed

That Ndombele goal was ridiculous.

FA Cup game on ESPN+ starting in 15 mins.
at Wycombe a level 2 club sitting in dead last 24th place in the Championship.
they have not played a league game since Jan 2 due to COVID cancellations. they did beat Level 2 Preston 4-1 on Jan9th in the previous round of FA Cup.
the draw for the next round is already done - if we win we play at Everton an EPL team the 2nd week of Feb.

Hoping we will see this guy
wow.... Wycombe getting pretty lucky.
we've had the majority of the chances but of course they get a goal.
we have had near misses hit the outside of the net, and the crossbar.
1-0 Wycombe
well just before half we hit the crossbar again....
and then finally Bale with a deflection right in front for the tying goal 1-1 at halftime.
