BRIGHTON and Nottingham Forest clash in an enthralling FA Cup quarter-final TODAY.
This is a massive match and the Seagulls’ desire for vengeance is one of the primary drivers.
Fabian Hurzeler’s team were humiliated in dramatic fashion as Forest crushed Brighton 7-0 at the City Ground in February.
However, since that crushing defeat, Brighton have been playing well, winning six of their previous seven games across all competitions and drawing the other.
Brighton’s hunger and focus, which were evident at the beginning of the season, have returned thanks to Karou Mitoma, Joao Pedro, and Yankuba Minteh.
Despite never having won the FA Cup, Brighton have advanced to the semi-finals twice in the last six seasons.
Forest are undoubtedly confident in their ability to persevere. So far this Premier League season, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have been the biggest surprise.
With Forest now third in the standings, the City Ground will likely be the site of the renowned Champions League song next season.
However, winning the FA Cup would be Nottingham Forest’s best Wembley day in 65 years.
During his tenure at Forest, not even European Cup-winning boss Brian Clough was able to obtain the trophy.
Charlize Theron seems to be having quite a lot of fun collaborating with Seth Rogen, as the actress appeared in another role in the Rogen-helmed project. The first time was with The Boys, where the Multiverse of Madness alum cameoed as an on-screen, fake version of Stormlight, who had a very public relationship with Homelander, […]

CARLA WARD’S Republic of Ireland are heading back to Cork — and they’re hoping for another Rebel roar.
The girls in green will wrap up their UEFA Nations League group campaign with a crunch clash against Slovenia at Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Tuesday, June 3rd.
It’s a return to the Leeside venue where they pulled off a famous 3-1 win over World No 2 France last summer.
And they’ll be hoping for a similar crowd after 18,399 turned up for the win over Les Bleus.
Now, the Girls in Green will be hoping for another big night under the lights as they aim to finish strong in League B, Group 2.
Speaking on the announcement of the venue for the fixture, boss Ward expressed her delight with the decision.
She said: “We’re really looking forward to bringing the squad back to Cork in June.
“The players and staff all spoke so positively about the welcome and the atmosphere in Páirc Uí Chaoimh — we’d love to experience that again in front of a full house.”
This will be the eighth time the WNT has played in Cork, having previously lined out at Turner’s Cross and Flower’s Lodge.
And Páirc Uí Chaoimh is quickly becoming a fortress for the Ireland Women’s team.
But there’s plenty of work for Ireland to do before than as Slovenia come to town.
That’s before they play face back-to-back battles against Greece in April, before travelling to Turkey ahead of their final group game on home soil.
UEFA have confirmed that all final round fixtures will kick off at the same time, with Ireland-Slovenia set for 6pm.
Ticket info will be released soon — and if July’s sell-out is anything to go by, fans will want to act fast if they want to secure a ticket for the clash in the rebel county.
