- can they keep this momentum going? 
just can't believe what I just saw Macclesfield FC is like, totally destroying Palace 2-1? insane! I mean we all know Palace are the champions and all that but come on they were so predictable Crystal Palace's usual superstar performance was missing and it didn't take a genius to see that coming! 
6th tier team beating champs 2-1 is insane! i was watching the match with my mates and we all thought palace were gonna walk it in lol. but macclesfield were solid defensively and their strikers did some crazy goals 
. As for Macclesfield, they must be buzzing with confidence after this win - can't wait to see how far they'll push themselves in the competition! 
Their solid defense and clinical finishing were definitely key factors in their victory.
just read about Macclesfield FC beating Crystal Palace 2-1 in the FA Cup 
. Macclesfield FC must have done somethin' right with their preparation and tactics 
️, their defense was solid and they finished clinical. And for Palace to have such a big gap between them and Macclesfield shows that even the champions can't take anyone lightly 
. This win is gonna give Macclesfield a major confidence boost 
and they just clicked on offense. It's also got to be frustrating for Palace fans, I mean who wants to see their team get knocked out in the FA Cup by a 6th tier team? 
. Can't wait to see what other surprises the competition has in store!
crystal palace was lookin all sorts of lost on the pitch lol
! It's all about passion and support, you know? And it's not like Palace were completely off form, just having an off day. Still, can't deny that Macclesfield deserve a big round of applause for their win 
And yeah, that Palace lineup was off form big time. Without their main striker, they were all over the shop 
But seriously, this upset's gonna keep on surprising us in the FA Cup! More upsets = more fun to watch 
. This win is huge for non-league football in England and I'm excited to see which other underdog teams can replicate this magic

Palace has been on fire all season but somehow they just couldn't get anything going today. Their star players looked lost out there
