Alright, so let's hear what people have to say about the upcoming quarterfinal matches in the "Coupe de France" on the 27th and 28th of February:
Sedan-Nantes
Marseille-Vannes
Montceau-Lens
Sochaux-Paris SG
Can Montceau repeat the heroics of Calais in 2001? (when the regional team lost to Nantes by 1 goal in the final) The early bets appear to be on Marseille to win the Cup, but as we have seen in French football, no assumptions are safe to be made. Just ask "les Bordellais". Or perhaps even the part-timers of Calais, who again made the quarterfinals of the 2006 edition, losing to, ironically, Nantes again.
My prediction if the draw for the semis allows for it:
Cup winner: Marseille
runners-up: Sochaux
semi-finals:
Nantes-Lens
Sochaux-Marseille
Sedan-Nantes
Marseille-Vannes
Montceau-Lens
Sochaux-Paris SG
