A quote from a report from soccernet about Port Vale in the FA cup.....Birchall is getting much attention and rightly so.
Port Vale will go to Carling Cup giant-killers Doncaster in the third round after winning tonight at Bristol Rovers - thanks to World Cup-bound Chris Birchall.
The Trinidad and Tobago midfielder, who should face England in Germany next summer, fired Vale ahead after 22 minutes with a firm right-footed effort from 12 yards, and it proved the game's only goal.
