Woking nearly knock Brighton (League One leaders) out of FA Cup! FC United to play at Brighton in FA Cup second round

[Sorry for not contributing to this blog for a while; I feel guilty for neglecting to talk about FC United's tremendous FA Cup run!]

Woking play in the Conference South, three divisions below Brighton (who recently played in the Premier League and are currently top of League One), but nearly knocked them out in the replay last night after drawing 0-0 at Brighton's ground.

After the score was 1-1 at full-time, Woking scored first in extra time and for a couple of minutes a huge upset was on the cards until Brighton equalised. Brighton in the end got through on penalties.

FC United of Manchester, after knocking out fellow League One team Rochdale away in the first round, now face a long trip to the south coast to do what Woking came to close to achieving.

It would be an even bigger shock if FC United knock them out, since we are four divisions lower, but you never know! And the prize would be a place in the third round, potentially playing a Premier League team (perhaps even Man United or Man Shitty).
