English FA Cup 16/2/2008 - Bristol Rovers vs Southampton

Honestly, I am shocked that there is this live commentary and play by play soccer match of this FA Cup match between Bristol Rovers and Southampton because there might not be enough people interested to watch this other than the fans from both teams. Most people would even struggle to name a player from either of these two teams. Okay, maybe they might know Theo Walcott who was previously from Southampton or even Peter Crouch but both players are also struggling in their present teams and not getting a look in unless injuries or suspensions have torn Arsenal and Liverpool apart. That said, perhaps the English FA is trying its best to market their game to the world by featuring teams other than the Big Four since now they probably cannot bring the English Premier League out to the naive fans in Asia and the United States.


That said, this live commentary and radio broadcast FA Cup soccer match between Bristol Rovers and Southampton will help to kick off this weekend of knockout matches and quite honestly, Bristol Rovers should have an upper hand in this game mainly due to the fact that they are playing at home and Southampton has always been prey to cup upsets although they are no longer in the top tier of English football so even if they had lost to Havant and Waterlooville it would not have been that much of an upset. They do have an ex-Liverpool player in their ranks in Gregory Vignal who was even once on the verge of a France callup but is now sunk in the lower depths of England and will not even feature in this live commentary and TV telecast FA Cup soccer match for his team Southampton against Bristol Rovers due to injury.


It is strange that the so-called experts are predicting a win for Southampton in this live commentary and radio broadcast soccer match in the English FA Cup against Bristol Rovers as I frankly see a blowout in this one. Southampton will struggle on that horrible pitch that Bristol Rovers has as they are more used to playing on a decent one like at St Mary's even though they are no longer in the EPL they do have a nice stadium. This live commentary and TV telecast FA Cup match between Bristol Rovers and Southampton will see an upset of sorts as the favourites would not get a result from this and perhaps that's why you will get to watch it globally.
