2011/12 Coupe de France thread

The 8th round has just now been played in the Ligue 1 teams will enter in the next round. All of the overseas departments were knocked out in the 7th round when AS Tefana (champions of Tahiti) and Gaitcha FCN (from New Caledonia) both lost.

Sorry for the size of that I will try to fix it now.

I can't believe that over 7,000 teams take part.

7,422 to be exact. Perhaps if the FA Cup was open to everyone rather than just the top 8 tiers you would have this many teams involved.

I may have to watch this to scout for our future stars

shut up, don't act smart just because you signed a few frenchies now



Never knew that their oversea departments take part too, but it makes sense.

Its just sooooo much fun being linked to every Frenchman know. Would be surprised if out of all the teams, a high number of them have had a player linked to us

With so many teams involved I wonder how that draw works in this tournament? It would be interesting how the players react to the draw. Perhaps like oh man we get to play the Tahiti champion away! This is going to be awesome.

What happened in the PSG game?

One of their centerbacks just happened to score a 90th minute winner but the bad thing is this was also against a team without a Wikipedia page whicb means they are most likely are 7th tier or below.

From what I remember from Twitter they're in the 5th tier.

They were promoted to the 5th tier for the first time last year which explains why they do not have a page on Wikipedia.

Lovely game between Lyon and Lucon. Lucon did exceptionally well.

Marseille's miserable run continued after a goal two minutes from the end of extra-time by John-Christophe Ayina ensured Championnat side US Quevilly moved into the semi-finals of the Coupe de France with a famous victory over the Ligue 1 giants.

The match was preceded by a minute's silence to honour those killed in the shootings in Toulouse and Montauban.

Once the game was under way Marseille's shocking form, which has seen them lose five consecutive Ligue 1 games continued when they made a dreadful start with Julien Valero putting the lowly hosts ahead after just six minutes.

Marseille imposed themselves on the game more after the break, Diawara twice having headers thwarted by Quevilly goalkeeper Issa Coulibaly.

Marseille came agonisingly close when Alou Diarra's effort hit the post but with just five minutes left they levelled through substitute Loic Remy.

Rod Fanni sent in a cross which was headed on by Andre Ayew with Remy sliding home from close range.

Marseille were clear favourites going into extra-time and they missed a great chance when Jordan Ayew hit the post but it was the hosts who went ahead with nine minutes left through Ayina.

However, the lead lasted only two minutes, with Remy striking again. The game appeared to be heading for penalties before the hosts claimed a stunning victory, Ayina slotting the ball into an empty net.

This is the 3rd time this 3rd division side have reached the semifinal stage of the Coupe de France. Maybe this is the time they win the whole thing.

The draw for the semifinals has concluded and unfortunately the two teams from the 3rd division did not draw each other so they both need one more massive upset to be make the final.

GFCO Ajaccio v Lyon
US Quevilly v Rennes

The final has now been set! On April 28th at the Stade de France it will be US Quevilly v Lyon. The winner gets a spot in the 2012/13 Europa League group stage.
