The French FA Cup
Meanwhile the Coupe de France is a fantastically bizarre cup competition. As well as being open to the clubs from the French overseas territories around the world like Tahiti (watch the video), it also draws lower league teams at home, no replays, just extra time and penalties. It annoys the big teams no end having to trek to half-derelict stadiums to play on a rutted, grassless pitch against some clogging amateurs. It's great.
