"Dare to Dream"

23 January 2026

60s

Fantasy football.

January's that time of year when teams like Macclesfield, Wrexham, and Hereford United dream of an FA Cup upset. In the Women's FA Cup, the dream is to stop Manchester City and Chelsea somehow. You can't spell "fantasy" without "fan", so TNT Sports and Discovery+ show what happens when supporters put reality on hold and dip into the cup instead.

Whether it's a barista, a gym-goer, an office worker, or a cat owner, the cast are too distracted by third and fourth round thoughts to help anyone (we like how a trust fall goes south and a woman strokes her cushion like its Mr Bigglesworth). Yet it's not just fans who let the occasion get to them—ask Peter Crouch and Joe Cole.

The latter won two FA Cups at Chelsea, while the former lifted the trophy with Liverpool in 2006. They can lose themselves in those finals whenever they want... so long as they're not on air for real.
