We've all got March Madness and Racer Mania this month, but it's also the 140th anniversary of the oldest association football (soccer) competition in the world. The Wanderers F.C. won the first FA Cup, beating Royal Engineers A.F.C. 1-0 at The Oval in Kennington, London. This was the final match of the first staging of the FA Cup, which became the primary cup competition in English football. 15 teams entered the competition in its first season. Morton Betts (then, known as "A.H. Chequer") scored the single goal.
