La Coupe de France

une coupe (pronounced 'coop') = a cup

La Coupe de France is the French soccer/football cup, and its final game is happening tomorrow.

While a second national cup (La Coupe de la Ligue) was created in 1994, la Coupe de France remains the most prestigious trophy in a direct-elimination tournament. It typically offers the most surprises, thanks to the participation of amateur teams, and also provides its winner with a spot on the prestigious UEFA European cup.

Tomorrow, archrivals Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Olympique de Marseille (OM) are facing off for the first time in a final. The game will be played in Paris' Stade de France in front of 80,000 fans, and will surely bear all the marks of the long-time tension between both cities and teams.

How would you cheer the team? Like in the US we would so "Go Paris" or "Go Marseille," is there a generic way in French?
