Poor vs Rich. Poor wins!

Brighton 2-2 Man City (5-3 pens)

Manchester City suffered an embarrassing Carling Cup exit after being beaten on penalties by Brighton.

Enough said! What a night! No result this season will top this one!

The richest club in the world beaten deservedly by one of the poorest. Capitalism is the way of the foolish man!

Not sure if this was anything to do with capitalism. I mean, c'mon, what would socialist football be like? Every team completely equal. They would clone Ronaldo and give anyone an instance.

I do not find it at all hard to imagine mutual/Distributist football, in which community-based football clubs are owned by their fans (and players?), and run on a not-for-profit basis, for the love of the game. However, this alternative to the existing game is presumably not going to be introduced any time soon.
