The World Cup in Qatar will start soon. Consequence: professional championships are at a standstill until the gates of 2023. But a competition will be on the agenda a few hours before the start of the World Cup: the French Cup. The 8th round is played over three days, November 18, 19 and 20, 2022. And only one team from Haute-Garonne managed to stay alive.
US Colomiers still alive
L’Colomiers in the United States is still in contention at the time of approaching this eighth round. The resident of National 3, fifth French level, a dispute five encounters in the competition.
He won at Lomagne (D1 of Tarn-et-Garonne), at JS Lévézou (D1 of Aveyron), at Stade Beaucarois (N3), against Canet-en-Roussillon (N2) and on the Agde site (N3). As the towers passed, the list of representatives of Haute-Garonne has reduced.
Balma, FC Toulouse Métropole, Blagnac and US Salies / Mane, for their part, fell during the 6th round. Already alone to hoist the colors of 31 in the previous round, Colomiers made the pleasure last.
A big piece to spin in 32nds
This 8th round of the Coupe de France is equivalent to the 64th final. And for the US Colomiers, it is Pau FC (Ligue 2) which will be on the program. Patrice Maurel’s men fall on a big piece, since the second French echelon is, for the time being, the toughest level : Ligue 1 clubs, including Toulouse FC, will compete in the next round.
11th in their championship, the Columérins have one win, four draws and three losses. They have just lost at home against the leader, Béziers (0-1). Conversely, the Palois haven’t lost since October 1 and remains on six meetings without losing. 9th in Ligue 2, they come out of a draw on the lawn of Bordeaux.
A round of 16 in 2018
Composting his ticket for the 32nd final would allow Colomiers to be able to claim an even bigger draw, and why not a Ligue 1 team. And the journey, the club knows it rather well since it had risen to round of 16 a little over four years ago. In 2018, the partners of Rémi Goryl, the last columérin rampart of the time, had then lost against Sochaux (L2), two goals to one. To end a superb course. Reissued this year?
