  6. Inventive team names...published at 15:33 British Summer Time 26 April 2015

    We've seen some brilliant and truly inventive team names throughout the FA People's Cup. Here are some of our favourites playing today:

    Grumpy Old Men - This veterans team played in Bristol North today. They came second in their category - hopefully that has put a smile on your faces.

    Is your Motherwell and Tekkerslovaia - Playing in Dudley this afternoon in the Adult Male category. They can't both emerge victorious but we love the names.

    Skills 2 Pay Bills - We have two teams with this name playing today, an U14 Girls team in Luton and an U14 Boys team in Shoreditch. We certainly hope you've been showing them off on the pitch today.

    Warsash Wasps - Try saying that 5 times fast! This U16 Girls team is played in Reading today - and we'll be seeing them play again at the final. Well done!

    Total Shambles - You can't be that much of a shambles, you've already made it to the semi-finals. Good luck in your matches in the Adult Males category this afternoon.

  20. Sandhurst Sloths aim for fast track to finalspublished at 14:00 British Summer Time 26 April 2015

    A sense of humour is a handy tool in football and the coach of the Sandhurst Sloths, Steve Skinner, reckons that the team name of his U-16 girls shows that they have it in spades.

    "The 'Sloths' was the captain's idea and a good illustration as to the witty character of the girls in the squad. As 15-year-old girls, they do love to chill out and relax when not playing - ask their mums about the state of their bedrooms and the carnage they leave about the house, it's like a hurricane swept through!" says Steve.

    "On a more serious note, girls and ladies football has moved forward. Experiences like this will only benefit their development and hopefully ensure that they stay with the game for life." They compete at Goals in Reading today for the chance to make the final.
