No, the FA Cup Final, is the previous week. taken from bbc.co.uk...
England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson has won his battle to secure a four-week break before the 2006 World Cup finals.
The 2006 FA Cup final - the first game at the new Wembley - has been brought forward a week to Saturday 13 May, and the Premiership will end a week early.
Sides in the Uefa Cup will not play replays in the fifth or sixth round of the FA Cup while Champions League teams will not have sixth-round replays.
Any ties affected will go to extra-time and penalties if necessary.
The arrangement will only be in effect next season.
In a statement, the Football Association said: "This was deemed to be the only available solution to a very complex issue.
"We believe it is crucial to allow the national team to be given equal preparation time to every other team competing in Germany next summer.
