PCN Cup Semi-Final Preview
At the start of this competition, 60 teams were placed in a 1 leg knockout format tournament. 90 minutes, extra time and penalties, the tournament has seen games end in every possible way. Some say this cup means nothing as they value league success, for anyone not in a title race in any league, they would tend to disagree as it could be the only trophy won. Unless, of course, you are in a continental competition (Royal Cup, Coppa Victoria). Regardless of all of that, we now have our final four teams left.
Will the cup be won by the Hoops of Glasgow for a second time, led by Shiek? Will the Swans fly high with another piece of silverware to add their cabinet? Will the Old Gold of Wolverhampton win their first trophy since winning the League 2 title? Or will the City-State of Monaco come out on top out of them all? The tournament has been around since the beginning and has been won by some of the very best players, this is the Pro Clubs Nation Cup, Semi Final Preview on Straight Red.

Expectations before the season in the cup: In cup play we had high hopes heading into the Season.

I think we have surprised ourselves in both cup play and league play.
Why will your team win it: Orlando has been the only team that we haven’t been able to get going against, but with them knocked out we are confident we are top contender to win the cup. Good luck to the rest of the teams.
