Yorkshire side Barnsley, currently 18th in the Championship, are one match away from the final after beating Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield and Chelsea 1-0 at Oakwell in the fifth round and quarter-final respectively.

Their opponents Cardiff City also beat top flight opposition at the weekend, defeating Middlesbrough 2-0.

Portsmouth, whose manager Harry Redknapp has never managed a side in a match at Wembley before, defeated last years beaten finalists Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford to book their date with high-flying West Brom, who won 5-1 at Bristol Rovers to reach this stage.

I have been involved with sports in Tanzania as a Volleyball Coach for many years—and was a Tanzania Amateur Volleyball Association (TAVA) leader. I studied sports management at Leipzig University in Germany and understand the science behind sports. That led me to work as a football pundit, with the BBC ( Swahili service) in London. That experience and exposure took me to covering the 2010, World Cup in South Africa. This provided me with a great insight into international level football commentary and the opportunity to carry out extensive research into the game including its players, the stadiums, the rules and tactics.I have also been grateful to meet a wide range of people connected to football in the UK, Tanzania, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, France, Kenya etc, and visited almost all of the key football stadiums across United Kingdom, and Europe.
