But with the second round games being played over the weekend, the third round draw was held at the same time as the World Cup clash.

It means that when Manchester United and Co found out their opponents, the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes were in action against Uruguay.

And fans are unhappy they're being forced to choose between the two.

One said: "Whose wise idea was it to put the 3rd round FA Cup draw at the same time as Portugal v Uruguay? Ludicrous behaviour."

A second admitted: "This might be the most surreal Monday in football terms."

Another said: "The draw for the 3rd round of the FA cup taking place tonight at the same time as the Portugal game. The BBC are idiots."

One replied to the FA Cup official: "Why are you doing the 3rd draw at the same time as the Uruguay v Portugal WC tie?

"Could you not have done it at 6:30pm or 9pm?"
