Surprises highlight League Cup in England


This is what Cup Soccer is all about… Fourth tier Bradford City has reached the League Cup final in England, advancing past three Premier League sides in the past three rounds, including Aston Villa, 4-3 on aggregate, in the semifinals.

USL Premier Development League fans in the east may be familiar with one of the heroes as former (2010) Bermuda Hogges striker Nahki Wells scored the opening goal in the 3-1 first leg win and started both semifinal contests as well as the penalty kick victories against Wigan (Rd 4) and Arsenal (QF).

Bradford City will face Swansea in the final February 24 after their 2-0 aggregate upset of Chelsea that unfortunately is gaining other headlines for unfortunate reasons.
