Intro[]
"Richy": With 24 teams in the league - the Fantendo Football League Cup grows. This season a preliminary round - round one - was introduced. The top seven from the previous season and the holders got byes into round two of the competition. Last season Team Steel won the cup - with a 2-1 win at the Flame Stadium over Royal Atlantica. I'm joined in the studio by Team Flame-Scotland's Fire Master, Team Steel's Hark, Team Lios Lions' Padge and Royal Atlantica's Inferadness. We start right back in round one and Mushroom Kingdom FC's home match with one of the ten founders - Team Nutty.

Mushroom Kingdom FC seem to have cracked cup football - showing how to win against established sides.

Analysis[]
"Richy": Round One there - any surprises?
Inferadness: Nutty being dumped out is a shock, but also Outer Troopers, they looked good last year - as Team Tone. So not the start they looked for - but then the could be focusing towards the league.
Fire Master: I don't think that there were major shocks though. There all strong sides and they are all as good as each other.
Padge: I think that the weaker sides are out and these sides will give the bigger sides more of a challenge.
Hark: To be fair though. Cups do bring out the best and worst of sides and we've seen that today.
"Richy": So on to Round Two the big four join in this round and face a tough test to get through to round three.
Round 2[]
Team Nook 2-1 Red Royals[]

Analysis[]
"Richy": Round Two - and Royal Atlantica are out anyone surprised?
Inferadness: I think we have a off day, but we're still doing well in the league.
Fire Master: I think that Gearworks will be a good side - their going for the title at the moment - so I don't think it was a shock.
Padge: I've got to agree - when two good sides clash one will have to go out - it's just last season's champions that has gone.
Hark: Yeah - but then Steel, Flame-Scotland and Lios Lions are still in it - so any of those could win it.
"Richy": On to round three then.
