I know there isn't a lot of football here, but congrats to Liverpool for winning the FA Cup today over West Ham in a thrilling come from behind match.

For those not in the know about English football, this is a competition where every pro team in the land (including semi-pro sides) compete against one another in a knockout competition. Lose, and you go home, at any point of about 9 rounds.

Imagine the situation in baseball, where the local semi-pro team made up of guys who work at the hardware store part time (think less than A ball) could potentially knock off the New York Yankees, that's the sort of open competition it is.

Anyway, well done lads!
