Full FA Cup quarter-finals draw

Fulham v Crystal Palace

Preston v Aston Villa

Bournemouth v Manchester City

Brighton v Nottingham Forest or Ipswich

Aside from 2023 victors Manchester City, Ipswich are the most recent FA Cup winners (197cool left in it.

Fulham, Palace, Bournemouth and Brighton have never won the cup.

Indeed…City are a shadow of their former selves…Pep was jumping up like a kid in a candy store when they eventually took the lead…the young right wing back Nico O’Reilly looks promising though…was clearly the man of the match although he came on as a sub and only played 45 minutes…

Nico is a truly talented player. Jamaican heritage as well.

Nico O'Reilly, the Manchester City footballer, is the son of Jun Hiraga and Alison Hiraga according to Wikipedia. Jun is Japanese-American, and Alison is French-American. Nico was born in San Francisco, California, on December 19, 1997.

Can you share the link? He was on John Wall's list of players he scouted for the Jamaica U20 last year. John Wall was then fired and the players on that list was REJECTED by the JFF. Jamaica subsequently lost every match losing 9 nil to USA and 3 nil to both Cuba and Costa Rica.

You may want to check that source. Nico O'Reilly was born March 21, 2005.
