The F.A. Cup for the year 2010 was between Chelsea and Portsmouth. That is this years E.P.L. Winner and the club coming last in the table, also a the first club in the E.P.L to be under a adminstrator for going in debt. While Chelsea club is one of the richest in the world , with costliesyt players ever. So on the paper they were bound to give a hiding to Portsmouth, we expected something like six to seven goals. As Chelsea scored seven verses Aston Villa and eight verses Wigan Athletic. But we were in for a far better game , David James , often called calamity james stood like a wall, along with the defence till the 59th minute when Dider Drogba scored a great dipping free kick that finaly beat David James. This was a big relief to the huge Chelsea fans, they then thought that the flood gates would open, but nothing happened . Chelsea won the F.A. cup with a miserable goal only.
But it had its sad moments as well ,the German Michael Ballack was tackled by the Portsmouth defender Kevin Prince Boateng, that damaged the ankle . So sadly Ballack will miss the 2010 world cup. The German press came heavily on Boateng and the injury.
