      “They have been keeping quiet about their relationship but those around them all know what is happening.
      “People have been helping him keep the romance hush-hush and have wiped Clara’s social media accounts so people can’t find photos of her. That alone makes his mates think he is actually quite serious about being with her.”

      What do the numbers mean on FA Cup draw balls?

      by

      THE FA Cup draw is one of those events that has football fans glued to their screens.The practice of drawing teams out of a bag goes back decades – in a competition that is steeped in tradition.

      The world’s oldest football competition has retained some of its old charm in an age of VAR, robot assistant referees and goal-line technology.
      The FA’s draws look and feel very different to Uefa’s Champions League and Europa League draws, where paper team names are taken out of plastic balls.
      Why have the FA Cup draw balls numbered?
      The FA Cup numbers correspond to the tie winners from previous rounds.
      So a team – or two teams – will be associated with that number.
      Read more FA Cup
      Here are a selection of numbers from the FA Cup fourth round draw in the 2022-23 season:

      1 Preston North End
      2 Brighton & Hove Albion
      3 Chesterfield or West Bromwich Albion
      4 Manchester City or Chelsea
      5 Stockport County or Walsall
      6 Boreham Wood or Accrington Stanley
      7 Tottenham Hotspur
      8 Derby County or Barnsley
      9 Cardiff City or Leeds United
      10 Brentford or West Ham United
      11 Burnley, etc

      If a tie has yet to be played or the tie from that round has been drawn and goes to a replay, two clubs are associated wit that number, such as Chesterfield or West Bromwich Albion.
      How do they decide on the order for the numbers?
      There are two criteria:
      Most read in FA Cup

      How early that team came out of the draw. So if a team came from the first round or second round and made it to the fourth round, they will have a low number.
      Alphabetical order. This usually gives Arsenal a low number and York City a higher number. More

      FA Cup prize money: How much do trophy winners earn?

      by

      THE FA CUP is the oldest football competition in the world – it is quite simply priceless.There is no substitute for an epic Cup upset and some of English football’s greatest matches have happened in this prized tournament.

      But one of the issues that has seen the FA Cup lag behind the Premier League in terms of popularity is the prize money.
      Clubs can simply earn millions more from moving a few places up in the Prem table, while getting through the rounds in the Cup is not such a priority.
      That sad economic reality does not take away from the romance of this competition though – and players from the UK and abroad still marvel at the idea of lifting the cup at Wembley.
      The prize pot changes every season and last term the winnings actually went DOWN to £3.4million, but it has increased again.

      Here we look at how much money clubs can earn from being in the competition.
      How much is the FA Cup prize money?
      The FA’s prize fund sees the winner of the final bag £2million, for the match itself.
      But they will also cash in increasing sums for winning the previous rounds.

      Extra preliminary round winners £1,125
      Extra preliminary round losers £375
      Preliminary round winners £1,444
      Preliminary round losers £481
      First round qualifying winners £2,250
      First round qualifying losers £750
      Second round qualifying winners £3,375
      Second round qualifying losers £1,125
      Third round qualifying winners £5,625
      Third round qualifying losers £1,875
      Fourth round qualifying winners £9,375
      Fourth round qualifying losers £3,125
      First round proper winners £41,000
      Second round proper winners £67,000
      Third round proper winners £105,000
      Fourth round proper winners £120,000
      Fifth round proper winners £225,000
      Quarter-final winners £450,000
      Semi-final winners £1,000,000
      Semi-final losers £500,000
      Final runners-up £1,000,000
      Final winners £2,000,000

      How much is the total prize money for winning the FA Cup?
      If a team from the Premier League wins the FA Cup – which is likely – they will only play from the third round onwards.
      This means if a team goes all the way they will land a £3.9m windfall for winning all the rounds.
      Should a team from the first round lift the trophy, which is highly unlikely, they will scoop £4.08m. More

      This is judged on their ability, individual performances as well as team and individual trophies.
      But just how many trophies have these players won in their careers and who sits top of the pile?
      SunSport have all the information right here.
      Who has won the most trophies in football?

      Of course, Messi is one of these but fans may be surprised to hear that he is not number one.
      Dani Alves is the most successful footballer of all time in terms of the amount of trophies won.

      How many times did Pele win the World Cup with Brazil?

      by

      PELE is undoubtedly one of the greatest footballers to ever play the game and has quite the CV.The Brazil legend is the leading goal scorer of all time, netting 1,283 goals during an illustrious career but has unfortunately passed away.

      During his time with Santos, he became a world renowned name before finishing his career with the New York Cosmos.
      However, it was with his national team that saw Pele gain the worldwide recognition that he deserved.
      How many times did Pele win the World Cup?
      Pele made 92 appearances for Brazil between the years of 1957 and 1971.
      Incredibly, he netted 77 goals from these appearances and played on the highest stage of world football.

      Just six years after his debut, Pele lifted his first World Cup trophy for Brazil and then retained the title in 1962.

      Pele did not see his country lift it for a third successive time in 1966, as England claimed the title.
      However, Brazil had it again in 1970, seeing Pele make history as he became the first player to win the World Cup three times.
      It is unlikely that we will see a player match this feat, with Lionel Messi getting his hands on the trophy in 2022 in what is likely to be his final World Cup.
