They're the team of tradies, public servants and university students who believe they can go on a giant-killing FFA Cup run and beat a potential A-League rival following a "euphoric" round-one win on Tuesday night.

Tuggeranong United believes the confidence gained from its unexpected FFA Cup triumph can propel it to greater heights as the players prepare for the biggest moment of their part-time careers.
Tuggeranong beat South Hobart in a tense penalty shoot-out to advance to the round of 16, setting up a huge clash next month. An A-League club looms as a likely opponent.
The players were still bursting with excitement, and nursing sore heads from a night of celebrating, when they arrived in Canberra on Wednesday, relishing the prospect of lining up against some of Australia's best talent.
They will have to wait more than a month for their next FFA Cup game. The chartered bus rides and buzz is a world away from their humble Kambah Oval base.
"I'm pretty sure the players will come back down to earth when we train in minus 28 degrees at Kambah on Thursday night," coach Steve Forshaw said.
"We're a mixture of part-time athletes. The sense of achievement was palpable, it's the romance of the cup and it was euphoric. This is probably as big a win as the club's ever experienced.
"People in Canberra said Tuggeranong shouldn't be the team that represents the ACT, but the result vindicates our inclusion and I hope those doubters acknowledge that.
"If we draw an A-League team, that's probably where we'll end; the gap in class is massive. But stranger things have happened ... you get one chance so you might as well give it everything."
The team will have to wait until August 21, when the round of 16 draw is finalised, to find out who its next opponent will be.
Tuggeranong could play against former club junior Carl Valeri and Melbourne Victory if it advances to the next stage in a match expected to be shown live on Fox Sports.
If the match is scheduled to be played in Canberra in September, Viking Park will likely be the venue because of its capacity and resources for broadcasting.
Tuggeranong will work with Football Federation Australia and Capital Football to prepare for the game if it is played in Canberra.
Harry Pettit slotted the winning penalty against South Hobart, after the teams were locked at 1-1 at the end of extra time.
"I still can't believe it, it was planes and chartered buses instead of jumping in a car to go to Kambah," Pettit said.
"It's nothing new for people to expect us to lose ... how good would it be if we did play an A-League team? But we'll be at work the next day, you don't get too much time to think about it.
"We might only get this chance once, you're expected to lose. If you don't, it's unreal."
Tuggeranong is in danger of missing the Capital Football premier league finals, sitting fifth on the ladder with the play-offs approaching.
But Pettit said the team thrived on being written off by opponents.
"We choke every time we're favourites anyway," Pettit said.
"We like being underdogs, it suits us and we'll be the underdogs if we play an A-League team. We might need to get a few days of sick leave from work though."
