    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.

    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

    Who has won the most trophies in football? Full list from Dani Alves to Lionel Messi to Cristiano Ronaldo

    THERE is so much to win in football but with such short careers, many of the top players fail to win it all.The likes of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Diego Maradona and Pele go down as some of the greatest players of all time.
    Cristiano Ronaldo has won many trophies in his careerCredit: AP
    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?
    There’s a common theme with the top two players in terms of most trophies won in their career – they are Barcelona legends.

    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.
    The Brazilian sits top with 44 trophies in his career and he is still playing at the age of 39.

    Messi has 41 trophies in his career, three behind Alves.
    However, in third place is a player that not many will have heard of – Hossam Ashour, with 39 trophies in his career.
    He has won  13 Egyptian Premier League titles, four Egypt Cups, six CAF Champions League trophies, and no less than 10 Egyptian Super Cups. A true legend of the game.
    Who makes up the top 10?

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

    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.

    Why do footballers spit on the pitch, and why do they spit out water after drinking?

    THE World Cup is rolling on at pace in Qatar.The tournament is being watched by billions across the globe each day as footballers play for the game’s biggest prize.
    Lionel Messi spits during a game for Argentina
    Cristiano Ronaldo spits out his water on the touchline
    But you may have picked up a couple of trends that footballers seem to do in every game…spitting on the pitch and also spitting out their drinks on the touchline.
    Though there is a very scientific reason for this.
    Why do footballers spit?
    Players need to spit while performing exercise as excess saliva develops.
    Additionally, players often spit their drinks out onto the pitch after taking a small swig from the bottle.
    ENGLAND VS FRANCE – HOW TO WATCH
    This is due to a tactic called carb rinsing, which can reportedly improve performance.
    According to a New York Times article on England players at the 2018 World Cup: “Carb rinsing refers to the practice of swishing with sports drinks for five to ten seconds during exertion, but then spitting it out instead of swallowing.”
    Harry Kane spits water out after drinking
    The European Journal of Sport Science published a report in 2017 which found that carb rinsing boosted performance in a range of activities.
    Most read in Football
    Running magazine added that during exercise: “Swishing with a carb-laden drink is refreshing and lets you avoid the feeling of bloating or cramping that may come with swallowing liquid.”
    Spitting is not an offence in football, so does not warrant any disciplinary card.
    However spitting at another player or official is a red card.

    Can you drink alcohol in Qatar?

    THE 2022 World Cup in Qatar is expected to attract millions of football fans from all corners of the globe.And many of them might fancy an alcoholic beverage once they land. But can you drink alcohol in Qatar? Here’s everything you need to know.
    Can you drink alcohol in Qatar?
    Alcohol isn’t illegal in Qatar, but there is zero tolerance for drinking in public and being drunk in public is a crime.
    Local law and customs reflect the fact that Qatar is an Islamic country – therefore you should respect the rules at all times and ensure your actions do not offend.
    Drinking in a public place could result in a prison sentence of up to six months – and/or a fine up to QAR3,000, which converts to £696.29.
    You can only purchase alcohol at licensed hotel restaurants and bars.
    Alcohol can only be purchased at licensed hotel restaurants and bars
    There is also a single state-controlled off-licence, but alcohol can only be obtained using a permit system.
    Visitors are not allowed to bring alcohol into the country, nor are they permitted to shop at the nation’s lone liquor store located on the outskirts of Doha. 
    Read More on Qatar
    The legal drinking age in Qatar is 21, and establishments serving alcohol will ask for original photo ID upon entry.
    Fifa chiefs have agreed with the Muslim host nation that bars at stadiums will be shut between kick-off and the final whistle – during the 2022 World Cup.
    But fans will be able to buy beer, wine and spirits before and after matches when they get to the grounds – in designated special drinking zones.
    Formal confirmation of drinking rules will come before the tournament, which starts in Doha on November 21, 2022.
    Most read in Sport
    International hotels will serve alcohol as will the official Fifa fan zone in Al Bidda Park in the centre of the capital city – although bars will have restricted hours.
    How much does alcohol cost in Qatar?
    In 2019, Qatar introduced the “sin tax” – doubling the prices of alcohol overnight.
    It was introduced by Qatar’s General Authority of Customs, in a 30-page list of new prices for beer, wines and spirits – citing the introduction of a 100 per cent “excise tax”.
    The price of alcohol varies – however, visitors can expect to pay through the nose for an alcoholic beverage of their choice.
    Examples of the cost of alcohol in Qatar include – a 100cl bottle of Bombay Sapphire gin costing a staggering £73.
    A 75cl bottle of wine costs £18.50 and a 24-pack of Heineken 330ml beers cost £84.

    Read More on The Sun
    With this being said, football fans can expect the prices of alcohol to be eye-watering – with beers expecting to cost around £10 a pint.
    Qatar’s average pint costs £9.98, more than double the UK’s price of £4.07. More
