Interpretation of Major Cups: The FA Cup has the longest history, with a total of 3 matches in the Western Premier League

The oldest tournament in history – the FA Cup
Early this morning, the Italian Super Cup came to an end. In the final, AC Milan gave up two to three, defeating their city rivals Inter Milan and lifting the final trophy. It is worth noting that the Italian Super Cup and the Italian Cup are different. The Italian Super Cup only has two rounds of semi-finals and finals, with participating teams being the champions and runners up of last season’s Serie A and the champions and runners up of cup competitions. This week, multiple cup competitions including the Western Premier League, FA Cup, and English League Cup will be held, and this article will help lottery players have a clearer understanding of these cup competitions.
First of all, the just concluded Italian Super Cup. After the semi-finals of last season’s Serie A championship and runner up (Inter Milan, AC Milan) and Italian Cup championship and runner up (Juventus, Atalanta), the two giants of Milan teamed up to advance to the final, and finally AC Milan won the championship. The Italian Super Cup is different from the Italian Cup, which is the highest level cup competition in Italy. The first tournament was held in 1922 and has a history of over a hundred years. Italian Serie A, Serie B, and Serie C teams are all eligible to participate in the Italian Cup. Currently, the 24-25 season of the Italian Cup has determined the top 8 teams, and the quarterfinals will begin on February 6th. Before the semi-finals, a single game winner system is adopted. If the two teams draw within 90 minutes, the winner will be determined directly through a penalty shootout.
Speaking of cup competitions, England, as the birthplace of modern football, has a vast and complex system, with numerous cup competitions that often confuse fans. Simply put, the football management system in the UK consists of three major players: the English Football Association (abbreviated as FA), the Premier League, and the English Professional Football League. The English Football Association is responsible for the FA Cup and Community Shield, the English Premier League is responsible for the Premier League, the English Professional Football League is responsible for the English Football League (League One, League Two, League Three, and League One), the League Cup, and the English Championship (for teams below League One and non professional teams).
Among all the matches in England, the highest ranking is undoubtedly the FA Cup. The FA Cup was founded in 1871 and is the oldest football tournament in the world. Not only has a long history< The FA Cup is open to all teams in the top ten English leagues, using a single elimination system. The team that ultimately wins the championship will receive a ticket to the Europa League main tournament. At present, the FA Cup has just entered the third round, and from January 10th to 14th, the FA Cup will play in the round of 64.
The teams participating in the English League Cup are professional teams from the top four levels of England (Premier League, Championship, League One, and League Two), and the competition is divided into seven rounds. At present, the English League Cup is in its semi-finals, with the first leg being Arsenal vs Newcastle on the early morning of the 8th and Tottenham vs Liverpool on the early morning of the 9th. The second leg will take place on February 6th and 7th. The honor of the English League Cup is not as high as that of the FA Cup, and the team that ultimately wins only qualifies for the Europa League.
In addition, the Community Shield Cup is similar to the Italian Super Cup, Spanish Super Cup, German Super Cup, and French Super Cup, all of which were won by the league champions and domestic cup champions from last season, with the winner winning the championship. The slight difference is that the Community Shield, German Super Cup, and French Super Cup are all single game winners, while the Italian Super Cup and Spanish Super Cup are contested by four teams< The Spanish Super Cup is a competition between the top three teams in La Liga and four teams that have won the Copa del Rey. The first round of the competition is the semi-finals between Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona, as well as Real Madrid and Mallorca, which will take place in the middle of the week< The semi-finals and finals are both single elimination matches, and if there is a draw in the 90th minute, the winner will be determined through a penalty shootout.
