My country's FA Cup final has been of great interest in the past because of the concentration of our national team players in the local leagues. But it is no longer the same because of the movement of our national team players abroad. Few people now go to watch league matches.

The FA Cup final in my country is known for low attendances because the league does not have enough entertainment. But the English FA Cup will certainly pull a big crowds either at viewing centres or at home on the TV through their satellite dishes.

Portsmouth are going to disappoint because these lower division teams have got a point to prove - I tip Cardiff to win.

Bad administration has taken the shine off the FA Cup final in Nigeria, unlike in the 80's and 90's when great players like Segun Odegbami, Muda Lawal, and Henry Nwosu were playing. The Nigerian FA Cup final then was glamorous, entertaining and a must watch for every football enthusiast. I hope it can regain its lost glory, especially if the Nigerian government allows private sector to fully participate in football administration.
