Shakeups in Island Regional Division

The Island Regional Division, part of the fourth tier of domestic football in Bedistan, is undergoing some massive changes, mainly due to recent territorial changes in the Jativan Islands.

Until now, the Island Division consisted of just six clubs. However, thanks to Bedistan's acquisition of a new island a few years ago, two new clubs will be added to the division for the 2039 season: Forea and Kainia FCs. On the flip side, though, the EFSB may soon be losing control of the Southeast Island, home to division champions Southeast Island FC. It has been rumored that the club will move to Forea, the second-largest city in West Jativa, and restyle itself "West Central Jativa FC" (West Central for short). Nothing of the Southeast Island situation has been made official yet by the BFA.

Double your pleasure, / Double your fun...

Melmond Football Footnotes

Nina Steen Off to Bedistan
Nina Steen and her former club Aldi Reds have decided to accept the transfer offer sending Nina Steen to Hundon FC, the three-time Bedistan champions. Nina Steen was last year's Melmond Premier League Defender of the year with the Aldi Reds and a plastic version of herself made headlines after hitting referee Not Ronaldo in the head in a game against Ravenspire and being bought for a lot of wong by $. Nina Steen will really fortify the Hundon FC defence as well as get more horny guys and lesbians to the matches as Steen is an international sex symbol. One thing for sure, put her as a striker against the Spaamian goaltender and Hundon FC has an easy victory.

Many Melmondians Returning to Their Clubs
After a couple weeks have passed since the transfer window has opened, many Melmond players have re-upped with their original teams. Here is the list.

Chris Owen stays with the Aldi Reds
Sergio Ortiz stays with the Unne Yellows
Camui Arai stays with the Melmond City Blues
Scott Cheney stays with the O'Connor Greens
Chara Effitont stays with the Cali Purples
Phael Survigosis stays with the Faasen Oranges
Kestrel Bluesummers stays with the Acosta Browns

The Exceptions
Melmond National Team captain and now former Morales Blacks player Martin Goodwin signed with the Cali Purples as he wants to finish his club football career in his hometwon. This acquisition finally gives the very weak Cali Purples side a strength position as they have now arguably one of the best midfields in the Melmond Premier League.

Two players from the Melmond National Team are still elgible to be transferred. The Melmond City Blues are still looking for bidders for midfielder Cristina Antunez and the O'Connor Greens are looking for bidders for midfielder Rainy Zoulthane.

First Oglethorpia-Kingsford Cup final takes shape
First annual OK Cup final locked up

By Bill Christmas

KINGSFORD (BT) -- Semifinals Oglethorpia-Kingsford (OK) Cup play took place in Oglethorpia's western neighbor over the past two days as the four remaining teams faced off to determine the OK Cup championship and determine who would take place in the 3rd/4th place match. After all was said and done, Barcoenfuego (Kingsford's top club) and Megalopolis City FC (the Oglethorpian Division 1 champions) would advance to play in the OK Cup championship match, while the Alnwick Torpedo of Kingsford and Elders (also of Kingsford) would go into the 3rd/4th place matchup.

Oglethorpia's Amalgamated Stadium is the largest stadium between the Bureaucratic States and the Holy Republic of Kingsford, seating 108,234 attendees. As such, the Oglethorpian Association of Football and the Kingsford Football Association chose it as the venue for the OK Cup championship, while Kingsford's own Estadia Nacional de los Condados would see the 3rd/4th placed championship.

Megalopolis City F.C. vs. Kingsford's 7th ranked Alnwick Torpedo was not a remarkable match in the least -- Megalopolis' offense led by Torrence Black dominated the Torpedo's defense, Black himself putting two on the scoreboard. By the half the Torpedo was already out of the game down 2-nil with goals by Torrence Black in the 34th and Maximillian is Immer in the 23rd minute.

The second half at least saw a somewhat lively Alnwick Torpedo offense -- however, the entire attempt was all for naught when the volley went far wide of Yamamoto-san in goal -- hardly a threat on the venerable Megalopolis City F.C. keeper.

Minutes later, Torrence Black would score again in the 62nd minute, followed by Nick Wells in the 78th. After that, the Torpedo didn't give up a fight, and Megalopolis City didn't press the issue of further himuluating Alnwick Torpedo.

"Gotta give them credit," commented Guy Picciotto. "Alnwick was ranked 2nd to last in the KPL and made it all the way to the semis -- but the way we swiftly dispatched them is exactly how we want to go into the final against Barcoenfuego. We've got momentum on our side and things are totally clicking. We'll be on our home grounds, and we're going to give this first OK Cup our all."

Barcoenfuego's defeat of fellow Kingsford Premier League-leaders Elders was the more exciting of the two semifinals matches, stretching nearly another 50 minutes past fulltime.

Barcoenfuego and Elders remained even all of the first half of the match -- the two matching each other in passion and technical skill. Neither ever gained the advantage, and chances on goal were few and far between.

It was not till early second half that Barcoenfuego proved how dangerous they were. Victor Cruzazul and Saturn Calcéte, two of LEAF's best strikers drove deep into the Elders defense -- Calcéte might as well have scored the goal himself with the backwards pass he delivered with perfect skill to a speeding Cruzazul, who beat the keeper with ease, giving Barcoenfuego the 1-nil lead after 50 minutes of toil.

Elders weren't about too let Barcoenfuego run away with the win with any ease, though. 10 minutes of work brought Grey Caroll his chance to equalize -- and the Elders striker capitalized magnificiently.

Striker Santo Yesucristos' ball was tipped over the crossbar -- taking the corner Yesucristos placed the ball perfectly allowing Caroll's diving header to send the ball into the back of the net. Elders fans jeered back at the celebrating Barcoenfuego supporters -- a rivalry that had turned more bitter than ever in the OK Cup semis.

Neither team broke the 1-1 deadlock before fulltime saw its end.

The next thirty minutes of added time were just as bitter, and neither team managed to find the edge over each other -- Pacé Araño of Barcoenfuego on an especially notable goalkeeping run despite giving one goal way to Elders. John Thompson was equally as determined, and at last both teams would go for the win with five penalty chances each.

Santo Yesucristos scored on Pacé Araño on Elder's second penalty kick -- but the 2-1 lead was short lived, when defender Celedonia "El Murcielago" Santander took Barcoenfuego's 3rd penalty kick and matched Elders, beating John Thompson.

The next few penalty kicks saw Thompson and Araño dispatch the danger with ease, until at last each club had a single penalty kick.

If Barcoenfuego scored theirs and Elders failed, the match would be theirs, and Barcoenfuego would be on to the OK Cup championship.

Lucky for Saturn Calcéte, Thompson went the wrong way -- not like it would have mattered, Calcéte delivering a scorching shot to the lower left corner that made all the other penalty kicks look weak.

Elders failed on their change against Pacé Araño -- and Barcoenfuego was off to the OK Cup championship against Megalopolis City F.C. Araño hurled the ball he had just saved seconds ago into the roaring crowd of Barcoenfuego and Elders fans, as the 'Boat on Fire' starting eleven walked off the pitch triumphant.

Now the OK Cup final is set -- between Megalopolis City F.C. and Barcoenfuego, set to be a fantastic matchup for the first annual OK Cup.

Kelvin "KΣσ" Johnson set to move - Olympic Kalita of Brazillico sign KKJ for L£5.9m

Kelvin Johnson is set to leave two clubs. His parent club, Orean, have decided to offload him, a rank 9 on the LEAF system, to Olympic Kalita when his loan spell with Pardbo ends at the end of the WC13 Quarter Finals. Johnson, 24, will move for L£5.9m, or just over GB£6.1m.

Meanwhile, Orean have signed Timo Salazar from Oglethorpian losers Neverton FC for L£12.6m, or GB£13.01m. Salazar, a full Brazillican international, will move immediately.

Orean have also signed J. Cardozo from Los Vallejo for L£2.2m, or GB£2.26m. Cardozo moves immediately.

Meanwhile, Schimpol have sold promising 18-year-old Hans Jorgen to Barcoenfuego of Kingsford for L£2m, or about GB£2.06m.

Schimpol are also looking for a GK.

Kingsford LEAF Club team Elders is selling B. Durango, a 3 time Brazillican national player who was bought by Elders earlier this season. He has done tremendous things for Elders on defense, and is looking to play abroad, whether in the EH or elsewhere in the world. His rank in LEAF is 9, and he has played Three Times on Brazillico's twice champion World Cup Squad, and now plays for Elders, a Kingsford Club. He is for sale.

Elders is also selling Oglethorpian wonder J. is Green. He is ranked 10/10 on the LEAF scale and is an excellent midfielder, a great addition to any team. For sale, been called the best Oglethorpian Midfielder.

Alan City move for Elders

Alan City have made a move for 2 Ealders playes. They are offering Elders 18 Million for Oglethorpian defender and 16 Million for Brazillican Durungo.

A flurry of transfers took place last night, as Brazillican managers were busy trying to do what's best for their team before the LEAF transfer deadline. Here is the deal breakdown by team:

-Real Libertad signed Oglethorpian attacker Carl Red for £8.00 million from Neverton FC
-Olympic Kalita signed Liverpudlian Englishman Keo Johnson from Orean United for £6.10
-Los Vallejo FC parted ways with Simon Kilkenny and James Cardozo to Neverton FC and Orean United respectively for a grand sum of £9 million. Los Vallejo also took the occasion to sign Elders' midfielder Grey Carroll for a £6.35 transfer fee.

IN OTHER NEWS...

Rumor has it that Real Libertad may be willing to part ways with Junior Socrates thanks to a lot of depth at that position with the squad. The 29 year old midfielder has been hailed as one of the most clever passers in the NS World, as well as being a decent goal-scoring threat. Junior Socrates has three World Cups under his belt, as well as a host of championship experience in Brazillico's Serie A. Only a few select clubs should be in the running of signing Mr. Socrates, as it is reported that Real Libertad won't part with the talented midfielder for anything south of £22m.

Zucchinis Grab Ferguson

Much speculation was made over Mackintosh Thistle Celtic playmaker Colin Ferguson, with continual hints in the press that he would soon be making a move to the rising teams in the Weegie Premier League, the currently second placed Buchanan Haggises, and the new surprise team Lylia Foresters. Today, we learned that Ferguson has agreed to a transfer. But not to any Weegie side. Most fans found to their surprise that Ferguson was actually making his way to the new well-funded Giant Zucchini side Heralds F.C, along with many other players from around the world.

"I received a fantastic offer from the Heralds." said Ferguson in a press conference publicising his departure. "I will be sad to leave the islands, that's true, but I feel I need to experience new ways of playing football, and I think playing for the Heralds could give me the expertise I need. And anyway, Jonathan Lyle says that I remain in his plans for the next World Cup, so the fans will still see me in Mackintosh playing for the country."

Ferguson played what seems to be his last game for his club yesterday, where they beat floundering Jamestoun City 5-1, keeping their 6-point lead at the top of the table with six more games to go.

Melmond Football Footnotes

Antunez, Zoulthane Stay With Their Respective Clubs
Midfielders Cristina Antunez and Rainy Zoulthane didn't get any international offers, so they re-upped with their original club. Antunez will be staying with the Melmond City Blues, a heavy favorite to win the Melmond Premier League for the second straight season with their upgrades at goal and defence. She is part of a loaded midfield with fellow national team players Camui Arai and David Bixler. Rainy Zoulthane reupped with the O'Connor Greens. She will certainly miss the presence of her favorite offensive target, Benjamin Leeb, as he is off to Alan City.

Melmond Premier League to Expand by Two in Fifth Season
The growing popularity of the sport of football in the United Postmodernist States of Melmond has resulted in an expansion of the premier league. The cities recieving teams are Suburbia and Lee. The Suburbia side will be known as the Suburbia Whites and the Lee side will be known as the Lee Grays. A football-specific domed stadium is in the works in Suburbia.

Government leak, plumber called.

Information was leaked today about a possible loan deal of secret agent James Belless to a Giant Zucchini club. While the report itself was sketchy, it comes from a reliable source.

NEWSFLASH:

Zonk's agent has come out and said that he is disillusioned with the progress of Yuba United. He has said that he is not ruling out a move in the current transfer window, preferably to another foreign club.

Meanwhile, the Giant Zucchini Premier League has wrapped up, with much action in the bottom half of the table. Earnest F.C. cheats relegation yet again, their upset win over 2nd placed Prehistoric F.C. moving them over Arkanoid F.C. into 17th place. Arkanoid could not save themselves, plummeting 3-0 under the hands of Kung Pao F.C. while Buckeroo City's Buncksh had a bad day, letting in 3 goals against the 3 pronged attack of Angelo United. The big match was the 4th spot decider, with Wurtherington Wanderers matched up against Westinghouse-Armature. The final score of 0-0 did no justice to the match itself, which was full of chances and brilliant goalkeeping by both Wurtherington's Kaan and Westinghouse-Armature's Mikel Hansen. The draw means Wurtherington qualifies, edging out Westinghouse-Armature by 1 point.

To summarise, Marauding F.C. captures the title again, Prehistoric 2nd behind them to automatically qualify for the Champions League. Earl United and Wurtherington Wanderers qualify for the qualifying stages of the Champions League, while Westinghouse-Armature F.C. and Angelo United qualify for the NSFA Cup. Arkanoid F.C., Buckeroo City, and Wilmington Wanderers have been relegated to the Nationwide First Division, while Bill United, Zippy United, and Bearnaise F.C. make the jump up to the Premiership. In other league news, football fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the superstar squad of Herald F.C. to tackle the Giant Zucchini Nationwide Conference.

Junior Socrates to Alan City

In a move which appears to have shocked all in the sporting world, Junior Socrates, one of the most popular players in all of Brazillico will be headed to the redder, more egalitarian pastures of The Belmore Family. General Manager Mike Juarez didn't want to part with Junior Socrates, but when he recieved the £24 million offer for the talented midfielder, he litterally defecated himself. After cleaning up in a nearby lavatory, Juarez decided to make it official, allowing it to become the biggest buy-out in the history of Brazillico.

Barcoenfuego: Most Exciting Club in Football

You've asked what does it mean. You've asked who are they. Barcoenfuego, a club from the city of Barcoenfuego, in the Condado Debajo, Kingsford, has done nothing but rise and rise in popularity the past month.

It started when Barcoenfuego took the Oglethorpia-Kingsford Cup, beating out Megalopolis City of Oglethorpia 2-1 in one of the most exciting matches of all time. Or so was thought...

...until Barcoenfuego played the second match of the H/A aggregate first round fixture in the LEAF (Emerald Heights Superleague) cup against Steerford United of Oglethorpia. The Steers had won the first match 3-1, and Barcoenfuego took the next match 3-1. After extra play, the match remained, and it took 16(!) penalty kicks to decide that Barcoenfuego would come out on top.

Then, the next round of the LEAF cup, they played RevTerrian champions Altar Roman. After the matchup was tied on aggregate, and extra time, it took 6 penalty kicks to declare Barcoenfuego the victors.

Barcoenfuego went on to beat their arch nemesis and eternal rival from Brazillico, Real Libertad, 5-4 on Aggregate (the series was 1-0-1) to move on to the final, where they beat Tanah Burungian champions Black-and-Red army, the best team on paper, 3-1 on aggregate to win the first ever LEAF cup.

Their unique clincher style doesn't just stay in Barcoenfuego. The club team has more National players than all other teams combined, including 5 starters. Barcoenfuego players, particularly keeper Pacé Araño, defender Celedonio "El Murcielago" Santander, and 16 year old phenom forward Saturn Calcéte lead their national team to Kingsford's first ever final, in The Eagle's Cup. Calcéte, along with team mates Natel San Pedro and Yñe Roege, lead Kingsford to it's first ever championship: The U21 Cup. The Barcoenfuego roster is as following (format is Player Name (LEAF Ranking 1-10) credits):

THE HERALD SPORTS DIGEST

All the news from the KEL.

UPS AND DOWENS
Dowenburgh United lead the table after Week 5 of the Elite League.
Having lost their opening game of the season, the "Green Machine" as fans have dubbed them, have won four on the trot. Dinamo Selyer, their latest victims, were dispatched in particularly ruthless fashion.
Dinamo took the lead after just 47 seconds, Kelvin Muniz nodding home a corner, but strikes from Andrew Colindale (15) and Anthony Picardo (37) saw United into the break 2-1 up. A second for Picardo two minutes into the second half sealed all three points.

NOT SUCH CIVIC PATRIOTS
Avid-Diord Patriots announced this week that as of next season their name will become simply "Patriots FC", claiming the current moniker was too long-winded.
Local fans are up in arms at this and are planning to boycott Pats' next home game, against Dinamo Selyer in Week 6, as a mark of protest.
Patriots are currently third in the table, two points adrift of leaders Dowenburgh.

NEWSFLASH:

Buckeroo City's Buncksh is gutted that his excellent performances couldn't ensure his team's survival in the Premier League. A few local clubs have been bidding for the up and rising goalkeeper, but the club is holding on tight to him, trying to keep him for at least another season. How long they can keep the goalkeeper from moving, however, remains to be seen, especially if foreign clubs get into the act.

Meanwhile, Zonk has come out and said that if Yuba United are relegated from the BFA First Division next season, he will not renew his contract with the club. His agent, however, has gone one step further, saying he is willing to accept bids from other clubs in this transfer window. Will another Zonk saga ensue?

United Go Foreign Before 1716 Season
First Foreign Professional In Cockbill Street History - And She's a She, Too

Mallie Winiecki, right-winger of Graceville Salamanders, have now moved clubs for a rather sizeable sum, undisclosed to the C-mail (OOC: my way of saying I can't remember the amount). She now breaks the barrier by becoming the first foreign player to grace the Cockbill Street Premier League - a Chakanan cho-ja was reported to play in the fourth division some years back, but was subsequently stripped of his citizenship on account of playing football, which is apparently a great sin there.

Winiecki will earn Ankh-Morpork $60,000 a year, and becomes the best paid player in the Premier League since Harald Axewielder left K'haz'bak K'druz'ba to become a professional in Giant Zucchini. She is expected to strengthen the right wing attack, something which is sorely needed before Vimesbairn United rejoin the domestic fray.

BFA Transfer News

High Mountain Accepts Earnest Bid for Saravia
After having loaned Clinton Saravia to Giant Zucchini's Earnest F.C. for much of last season, High Mountain has agreed to let Saravia move there permanently, accepting a 5M zucchini (þ7.24M) bid made by Earnest. A similar bid by Marjory City was turned down.

Fukushima Elects Not to Leave Bedistan
Tabitha Fukushima has decided to turn down an offer from Giant Zucchini's Dankeschoen F.C. "In my younger days, I surely would have accepted," she explained, "but my days in football are nearly done. I've retired from the international team and am strongly considering retiring from the sport altogether. It's time for me to rest."

THREE IN HUNT AS LEAGUE TAKES SHAPE
AFC Westleigh have reclaimed top spot after two more wins in the KEL, three points clear of Patriots and Dowenburgh, both on 14.
Elliston's failure to pick up wins though has come back to haunt them - the Stones are five points off the top thre in fourth.

CUP DOES NOT RUNNETH OVER FOR REMIRES
Remires' misery continued in the prelims of the National Cup, with both its teams out of the competition at the first hurdle.
Blue-White were gunned down two-nil at Westleigh, goals from Michael Lewison (6) and Phillip Neasden (14) condemning them to defeat.
City fared little better against Gravopol Town, despite twice taking the lead. A Peter Marques strike on 35 minutes saw Town safely through by three goals to two.

Melmond Football Footnotes

Lee Branson Retires From Football On Top
Audioslavian legend Lee Branson played his last game of football as the Melmond City Blues slaughtered Morales Blacks 7-nil. After a very successful career mainly playing for Cornellby in Audioslavia, he finished his career with a 2-year stint with the Melmond City Blues, not only giving the team in Melmond's largest city a bonafide world-class defender, but giving football an ambassador in Melmond. Branson played outstanding enough to warrant the honors of Melmond Premier League Defender of the Year in his final season. Lee Branson will now concentrate on managing his home nation's Audioslavia national team.

Suburbia Whites Searching For Bargain Striker
The expansion side Suburbia White is looking for a good international striker at a reasonable price in order to incite some excitement about the team in Suburbia and draw fans to the brand new White Bread Dome. The White Bread Dome will host its first game where the Melmond National Team will be hosting defending World Cup Champions Eauz. Rumour has it that the Suburbia Whites may be looking at some Liverpudian English strikers.

AS GZ does not want to do it, by the precedent set by GZ himself, the transfer window is officially closed, with the start of WC14Q.

HALFWAY THERE FOR WESTLEIGH AND PATS
With the top two piling on the points, and former leaders Downburgh forgetting how to win, next week's game between AFC and the Patriots is already being billed as the championship decider.
Both sides are in top form of late, AFC defeating both Dowenburgh (3-0) and Gravopol (3-2) in the last fortnight.
Meanwhile, Pats also beat Dowenburgh (though only 3-1!) and also snuck past Sivad Rangers, Barry Torniere with the only goal on 66 minutes.


DIRTY DOZEN WAIT IN THE WINGS
The KFA has announced a twelve-team second division from next year.
The Krytenian Secondary League (KSL) will operate a one up, one down promotion system, however the team in ninth in the Elite League will play off against the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th placed teams in the KSL for a second place.
No teams have yet been finalised, however miners side Casuals FC are expected to be announced as a member - currently, they are Krytenia's only professional non-league side.

Can't You Just Leave it Alone?
League to undergo reconfiguration AGAIN

AMISSVILLE -- Yes, here in the middle of the 2040 season, the Bedistan Football Association already wants to reorganize the league system again.

Their plan for the 2041 season is to completely eliminate the Island Regional Division and simply incorporate it into the Southern Regional Division. The BFA's reasoning? They are planning to introduce new teams from the Southern Territory next year and have decided that it would be more convenient to just include all these outlying areas in an existing division. But unless the BFA plans to expand the number of teams in each division, some teams will have to get the axe.

The BFA is also planning to alter the rules of relegation from the Third Division, but we don't know any specifics yet.

More information as it comes.

PATRIOTS PAY PENALTY AS WESTLEIGH STAY TOP
Despite losing their crunch Week 10 encounter with Avid-Diord Patriots, AFC Westleigh remain top of the pile with eight games to go.
Patriots remain three points behind after an agonising one-nil defeat to local rivals Avid-Diord United - Clayton Lormer scoring a penalty with less than a minute on the clock, followed by 89 minutes of United stonewalling.

BRAVO TWO HERO
Sivad Rangers' custodian Graeme Bravo made history in Week Ten, becoming the first goalkeeper to score for his team in the KEL.
Bravo converted a penalty in Rangers' two-one victory over Blue-White Remires after David Lucic had been hacked down by Danny Rodriguez. Rodriguez then placed the ball past his own keeper (24 mins) on a nightmare afternoon - Ed Sebatier getting a consolation from the spot (58).
The keeper was not done yet though, scoring another penalty on 79 minutes in Rangers' Week 11 game against Remires City, Lucic (12) and Andrew Delacour (49) having scored earlier in the game.

People are going to be sick of Hundon FC winning the First Division pretty soon, because they've now done it four years in a row. Amissville and High Mountain stayed hot on their heels, but the rest of the group was a long way off. 4th-ranked Carter FC had a rather poor performance, managing only a mid-table finish. Rolestu FC and the Griffin Zebras will drop to the Second Division, along with another team that nobody ten years ago would have dreamed of being relegated -- the once mighty Yuba United. Even with the great Zonk on the front line, United simply could not create the chances when they needed them, and as a result they'll be playing in the Second Division for the first time next year.

The All-New FA Cup

The Bedistani Cup, absent for a few years, has been revamped and restyled as the FA Cup. The Bedistani Cup consisted of only 48 teams - the top 16 finishers in the top three divisions from the previous year. It started with a qualifying round, followed by the first round (8 groups of 3), quarterfinals, and so on.

The new FA Cup has a simpler layout. All 128 teams in the Bedistan Football Association are invited, and they play in a simple seven-round single-elimination tournament.

This year's tournament looked like this:

Changes Take Effect WC15Q Season

THE HERALD SPORTS DIGEST

All the news from the KEL.

ELLIS-TEN
Elliston leapfrogged Dowenburgh United in Week 14, a 2-0 victory over Sivad Rangers marking their tenth game unbeaten in a row, their fourth consecutive win, and six clean sheets out of six.
The Stones wrapped it up in the first half, goals from Damien Vlaovic (5) and Brian Santana (22) securing yet another three points.
Meanwhile, leaders AFC Westleigh extended their lead at the top to five points with victory over Blue-White Remires - ironically, the week after losing to Elliston.
Elliston's victory came from a solitary Tom Khan goal (20) - his first of the season - while victory over Remires was secured with goals from Vernon Kilgallon (7) and Norman Oundle (82) wrapping up the W for Westleigh.


EIGHT IS ENOUGH FOR GRAVOPOL
The Avid-Diord Patriots were right to be ashamed after their debacle at home to Gravopol Town - the two-nil reverse halted an eight game losing streak for the Blues.
Keith Rodriguez got alarm bells ringing for Pats on 10 minutes, nodding home a Wes Byers corner. One became two in first half injury time - Barry Torniere adjudged to have handled, and Byers converted the penalty - his seventh goal this term.
Grvopol are now replaced at the foot of the KEL by Blue-White Remires, who have now picked up just 2 points in their last six.

KEL END OF SEASON REVIEW

CHAMPIONS - ELLISTON

AFC Westleigh
Looked set to take the title all season before throwing it away at the death with 5 points from twelve.
Attacking full-back slammed home seven goals during the season, but it was not enough for the championship
Player Of The Season: Michael Lewison
Final Position: 2nd

Avid-Diord Patriots (Patriots FC from next year)
Pats were consistent without ever looking convincing. They will have to be more inspirational to avoid results like the Week 14 defeat by Gravopol.
More will be asked of the midfield this season, especially the desperately disappointing Dave Van Staveren.
Player Of The Season: Seth Grüber
Final Position: 3rd

Avid-Diord United
Pre-season favourites ADU were desperately disappointing this season, a 6-1 defeat to rivals Patriots being the rule rather than the exception.
The defence was absolutely laughable, though Clayton Lormer did put four in from the spot. Star striker Roger Celsen needs to do better than one next term.
Player Of The Season: Luke Boli
Final Position: 7th

Blue-White Remires
Blue-Whites will call this a reasonable season - they have the weakest side in the division, however manager Lou Serafino has done wonders with his side.
Serafino needs more from his forwards, Amor-Gomez and Smith getting one each, however Dudley Sandwell was top scorer with five.
Player Of The Season: Dudley Sandwell
Final Position: 9th

Dinamo Selyer
A promising season for Selyer went to pieces mid-season, the nadir in Week Nine was a 5-0 defeat at the hands of Remires City.
Ryan Ba kept the Goals Against column respectable, shame about the guys in front of him.
Player Of The Season: Kelvin Muniz
Final Position: 8th

Dowenburgh United
Top four for most of the season, but never troubled the leaders. Will Guarado was deadly from the spot, and was Golden Boot with 9 goals.
The Greens will need more firepower up front to become true contenders.
Player Of The Season: Andrew Colindale
Final Position: 4th

Elliston
Lost only two matches all season, eight wins on the trot seeing the Stones steal the title.
Defender and dead-ball specialist Graham Livornetto got six, but goals came from all over the place.
Player Of The Season: Graham Livornetto
Final Position: 1st

Gravopol Town
Four points at home all season tells its own story. Seven-one defeat at the hands of ADU was typical of season.
Somehow, Wes Byers scored 8 - almost half of the Blues' total.
Player Of The Season: Wes Byers
Final Position: 10th

Remires City
Rescued a disastrous start to finish sixth. 3-1 victory over AFC Westleigh probably cost AFC the title.
Hulking central defender Ulric Johnson is destined for bigger things.
Player Of The Season: Ulric Johnson
Final Position: 6th

Sivad Rangers
Went south after hitting top spot in Week 2. Four-game unbeaten run at end of season salvaged a top-half finish.
Number 9 David Lucic was top man with five.
Player Of The Season: Eddie Munitis
Final Position: 5th

Avid-Diord United 3 (Papadopolous 28, Glamis 55, Consigliano 78)
Elliston 0

ELLISTON DENIED DOUBLE IN CUP CRASH
Avid-Diord United lifted the Cup today at Remires' Ackersleigh Park after crushing a tired Elliston by three goals to nil.
United attacked tirelessly for the first half hour, and were finally rewarded when an Ian Jensen pass saw Philomen Papadopolous beat the offside trap, and slotted a simple ball past Roy Vanderpuye for the first.
There was no relent at the start of the second period, Hamish Glamis nodding home another Jensen cross. By the time Jim Consigliano latched onto a defensive error by Stones' sub David Dundas for the third, Elliston were well beaten.

TEAMS:

Avid-Diord United - James SA, Gary LOMOZULA, John SINGH, Clayton LORMER, Ian POCHETTINO, Jim CONSIGLIANO, Ian JENSEN, Luke BOLI, Tom SALAZAR, Philomen PAPADOPOLOUS, Hamish GLAMIS

Trivia
Stadt Nicht becomes the second successive team to drop two divisions in succession after Talbott were relegated to the Second Division last year. Nicht Stadt will play in the new Nationwide Second Division next season, after falling into L£174m debt [US$100m or about £176.1m]. They begin the season on a mandatory penalty of -5 points. CCL 'C', who are n the promotion playoff, will be dealt a penalty of -3 points at the start of the season should they be promoted, oir fail to be promoted, due to the weak state of their finances. This is a new rule in place to ensure teams have at least L£1.5m in the bank. CCL 'C' play the winners of the Bede-CCL 'D' [2] relegation clash in the Premier League.[/code:1:d02d497062]

In Division Two news, Talbott have achieved promotion to the First Division, defeating League Cup champions Schimpol [2] 4-3 on penalties in the final.

Sponsorship Deals for BFA Leagues?
The FA gets yet another 'bright idea'

AMISSVILLE -- As part of the annual league restructuring talks, the Bedistan Football Association's board of directors hit upon another "bright idea", as they termed it -- giving sponsorship deals to Bedistani companies.

"Why not?" said Javier McGuire, BFA president and former representative to the World Cup Committee. "If places like England do it, why not us?"

Indeed, national corporations are already chomping at the bit to get their names on the league tables. So far, the highest bid made is þ37.2M by the Fillmore Motor Company for rights to the First Division. What does this mean for the average fan? Nothing really, except the fact that you will now see results for the "Fillmore First Division" instead of the "First Division". It is rumored that Loco-Cola and BediStat have also joined in on the action.

And speaking of those annual league restructuring talks, we hear it's supposed to be big this time. Really big. All we can say is that the BFA wants to take football to the local level in Bedistan. Watch out for more information.

Compound League:

A day before the end, everything was still up for grabs in the Compound League. Roegrow Athletic, having led the league for quite some time, dropped two points at home to rock-bottom Point/Grunt AC, drawing 2-2 and drawing for the eleventh time this season. That allowed Vimesbairn United to capitalise with a fine 3-1 win over Steinlager, and the two teams were joint leaders on 44 points. U'dh'gazh'dukh K'druz'ba were still, theoretically, in the running, but they had to beat Vimesbairn United at home in U'dh'gazh'dukh while Roegrow must lose to mediocre Likh'gokh.

Three teams struggled to avoid relegation play-offs: Upperborough, K'haz'bak and Steinlager, and in addition R'dhuz'lith could get involved. The three former teams had all got 26 points, while R'dhuz'lith had 28, but a worse goal difference than Upperborough.

The table:
[code:1:a6c8bf248f]
Roegrow A 25 11 11 3 33-25 44
Vimesbairn U 25 13 5 7 33-28 44
U'dh'gazh'dukh K 25 10 11 4 36-23 41
Harewood 25 11 7 7 31-26 40
Vimesbairn A 25 10 8 7 34-23 38
Jotneheim MAFC 25 11 5 9 30-28 38
Chesham Rangers 25 8 11 6 31-24 35
Likh'gokh K 25 8 9 8 29-26 33
Rizh'peith K 25 7 9 9 25-30 30
R'dhuz'lith K 25 7 7 11 28-36 28
Upperborough 25 5 11 9 21-27 26
K'haz'bak K 25 7 5 13 20-29 26
Steinlager A 25 6 8 11 20-33 26
Point/Grunt AC 25 4 7 14 20-33 19
[/code:1:a6c8bf248f]

The last round looked like this:
U'dh'gazh'dukh v Vimesbairn U - winner could win the league, if Roegrow loses
Likh'gokh v Roegrow - Roegrow will win the league with a win here
Steinlager v K'haz'bak - relegation play-off fight - winner might just avoid to go down, if R'dhuz'lith or Upperborough don't win
Point/Grunt v R'dhuz'lith - Point/Grunt already in relegation play-off, R'dhuz'lith safe if they win
Chesham v Upperborough - Upperborough are safe if they win by a couple of goals
Vimesbairn A v Harewood - internal fight for fourth place
Jotneheim MAFC v Rizh'peith - irrelevant match for both teams.

And it became just as exciting as promised. Roegrow Athletic got off to an awful start, conceding two goals to Likh'gokh strikers within the first ten minutes, and all of a sudden Vimesbairn United led the league by a point. But they had to draw the match to secure the league title, and the U'dh'gazh'dukh K'druz'ba players knew this. Led by their charismatic manager, Olaf Iskalt, the U'dh'gazh'dukh-ers put on a pressure never seen before.

Meanwhile, Roegrow Athletic further spoiled their chances, conceding two more goals before the half was over and being down 0-4 to underachievers Likh'gokh. Thus, it was all up to U'dh'gazh'dukh and United. The Capitalists of Vimesbairn United were decidedly poor, and could not perform anything offensively - even when U'dh'gazh'dukh created huge chances up front. Keith Peters, goalkeeper of the Capitalists, saved a magnificent shot from Ivar Olafsson eight minutes from time, by fisting to a corner kick. However, Olafsson's cross hit the head of Thorstein Axewielder, and went further in behind Peters. The 80,000 in the crowd at U'dh'gazh'dukh K'druz'ba D'gazh'dukh exploded with glee, knowing that their team had superior goal difference to both Roegrow Athletic and Vimesbairn United. United, downspirited by this goal, could not retaliate at all, and a couple of hours later the U'dh'gazh'dukh players received the trophy as Compound League Champions.

In the relegation zone, there was not much excitement as R'dhuz'lith slipped behind early against Point/Grunt while K'haz'bak and Upperborough made early goals to avoid relegation. Steinlager, R'dhuz'lith and Point/Grunt play against the best teams from the lower leagues.

The Human League wasn't nearly as exciting, but it was Chapham Rovers who took the honours with a last-round 2-0 win against the FC 1698. Bear Crossing FC, though strengthened by international Dylan Thompson, was still relegated to Human Division 1 after drawing AC Swyton in the penultimate round, and rumours are that Thompson is now ready to move to other clubs. Harewood FC and the Human Premiership winner Chapham Rovers are among the interested teams, according to C-mail sources. Quagnell FC will also play in the play-offs, while Keynesville join Bear Crossing in Division 1 next year. Up from Division 1 come Ridley Athletic, a club from the suburbs of Vimesbairn and Gunnerside FC.

In the K'druz'ba D'gaiz'nigh B'zugda'hiara, the winners and the two bottom places were already decided before the last round. Izh'no'got had a lead of eight points at the top, beating Le'he'gie 2-0 away to secure the league victory. In the bottom, Rando'gah were relegated with three games to spare, and Zha'pach'goh went down after losing 0-1 at Lin'du'goor (dwarf name for Lindegard - who have two football clubs, one in the dwarf league and on in the human league). However, six teams could still take the second promotion qualifier spot, and five teams could relegate.

And it got quite exciting. Hin'drokhi, who had the second place with a four-goal-differential lead over Dozh'gah and six goals over Zakh'lith, had a home match against Zakh'lith. Hin'drokhi could all but secure promotion qualifiers with a win - and so they collapsed. Despite that, Zakh'lith didn't really deserve the win either, in an absolutely awful game. But Zakh'lith won by a sixty-fourth minute penalty, dubiously awarded by referee Allan Simonsson, and thus they qualified - because Lindu'goor came back from 0-2 down at half time to draw the match against Dozh'gah, thus resulting in Zakh'lith becoming the only team on 47 points and finishing in second place. In the bottom, there was something of an anticlimax. Stien'perykh, being fourteenth before this round, lost their home game by 0-1 against Grazh'nakh, and thus the other teams could afford to lose by three or even four goals to avoid relegation. However, Sto'kh'darakha Roh'nidh'ba came frightfully close as they conceded two goals early in the second half - but saved their place by two goals. Le'he'gie kept the 0-1 scoreline against already relegated Zha'pach'goh, and thus survive for another year. Up from T'rekh'nigh B'zugda'hiara come Rish'zhani Irgo'ba, a team who sports a lot of young talent, U'paha'ni K'druz'ba, who have got former Compound League player Thorir Stonethrower in their squad, and Bakh'androzh K'druz'ba, who squeezed through with a 4-0 win on the final day.

The Aargrogah Advanced League was even less exciting, with everything decided before the last round. KI Lanthanate won the league after defeating BC Dichromate 2-1 away, which gave them a four-point lead over Granite CA. Granite led by seven points over CA Permanganate, which meant that that lead was inassailable, and AK Mineral were six points behind SK Fjell in the fight to avoid relegation play-offs. KI Lanthanate could afford to draw SK Fjell in the last match and still win the league comfortably, and they would join the other eight teams at Vimesbairn later this season.

The two relegation play-offs, scheduled simultaneously as the promotion play-offs, will be AK Mineral vs Anthracite and SK Berget vs SK Alpine. The team named first will play at home.

In the promotion qualifiers, Izh'no'got K'druz'ba were simply too good for the other teams. They won six out of eight games, drawing the two others and had the promotion secured with a game to spare. However, Steinlager, Chapham and KI Lanthanate battled it out for the last spot. Steinlager had 15 points, two points more than Chapham and three more than Lanthanate, and was able to take the spot with a late equaliser against Zakh'lith. Chapham needed to win against Lindegard to be safe, and did exactly that after an excellent effort, beating them 1-0 at home, while Lanthanate could only score two goals against R'dhuz'lith - they required to win by three goals to have any chance.

Yes, Hundon FC have continued their run at the top, winning the championship for the fifth year running. It was certainly not a foregone conclusion, however, with Amissville, Jamaica, and Forest Hill on their tail until the very end. The unfortunate San Diego Iguanas, after fighting their way back into the top flight, drop back to the Second Division after a dismal 6-10-22 season, though the record for worst First Division season ever is now held by Pine Village FC at 4-9-25. Mifflinburg FC will also be returning to the Second Division next year.

One of the finest football games in Bedistani history pitted Forest Hill FC, who finished fourth in the First Division this year, against the middle-of-the-table High Mountain Buffalo, who have always been fairly strong. Only a penalty shootout could decide the match, and it would be Forest Hill that would eke out the win.

[OOC: I'm not totally sure how I got a 6-4 penalty shootout result...must be a small bug in my result generation program...]

OOC: You have a results generating program? What is it :P

IC:

NEWSFLASH:

Zonk is growing increasingly unhappy with the state of Yuba United. He has stated publicly that he wants out of the club, and is willing to look into any bids from any club when the transfer window opens soon. It is rumoured he is looking for a move to another foreign club.

With the start of WC14, I unofficially declare the transfer window OPEN!

And I will OFFICIALLY open it. Not like it makes much difference...

Thanks, LE by the way again.

The H1SR (heven mje'het sekhika rejistaniha) ended with these results:

Perhaps most shocking was the fact that Sikane Sekhika managed to reach the HVSR for the first time while teams like Hanin Sekhika, Hetlasane Hetkali and Matix Veran were on lower ranks. In the case of Hanin even much lower, the 13th place was one of the most embarrassing places ever for them. In the Divisasi Kansu, Vaje~n Sekhika continued its uptrend by qualifying for the HVSR and winning the Divisasi for the first time. KaMari Ines underperformed and could not avoid relegation to the H2SR.

Some highlights of the season:
Sen-La-Sa~o Relekhati 0 Karela lines 1 (Nane Hsida (KL) 56th) (MD14): The maybe most commercialized club SLS meets the amateurs of Karela - and recieves a unexpected 0-1 defeat.

Mirare Nanti 3 Najajara Omeh 5 (Ninaki Jilrin(NN) 3rd 46th, Kansu Lyk(NO) 12th 16th, Hiki Suny(NN) 28th, Liydi Raska(NO) 48th, Jiy Liik(NO) 60th) (MD20): The goalfest in the Divisasi Kansu. 8 goals in one game was the record in this season. Mirare and Najajara fought hard for the lead, especially in the first half, but at the end, the Najajarians were better.

Vaje~n Sekhika 4 Taki~l Redy 0 (Gareth Higgins 15th 74th, Inkatil Hadi 57th, Kxia~n Ha~o 87th) (MD16): Taki~l Redy normally is no bottom team most likely to be relegated, however this match showed how the Reds from Taki~l were outclassed. The Reds finished 8th in the final group table despite this slip-up, The Vaje~nians in the end won the divisasi.

Hades Lavamje 1 Hanin Sekhika 0 (Mata Koleni 88th) (MD28): Hades vs Hanin is not a derby, it is the derby. The two haninian teams (even if Hades is on the border to Desnike) had an hard-fought and perhaps not that fair match. After Hanin won the first leg match 2:1, the Hadesi did anything to be victorious this time. 5 players were warned and 3 sent off, a new league-record.

Qualified for the HVSR (heven'het vinali sekhika rejistaniha): Hades Lavamje, Sikane Sekhika, Sike kaletri, Jinhes Lines, Vaje~n Sekhika, Na~ovi Nanti

Relegated to the H2SR (heven xi'het sekhika rejistaniha): Riandu Kimi, Matix Ynu, Siril Salan, Miral Junis-Omeh, Rirajasase Xalki, KaMaRi Ines

OOC: You have a results generating program? What is it :P

A little something I whipped up on my own in Visual Basic. For each division, it reads a listing of teams and rankings from a text file, which it uses to generate the results. It then spits out the league table into another text file. With just a couple clicks, I can run a full season's worth of matches for all seven currently implemented divisions plus the FA Cup. It also semi-automatically handles relegation and promotion among the top three divisions and sorts the teams into their proper ranking order for the next season. Takes a lot of work off of me. ;)

Does it also work with different sizes of leagues or other special features? I'd like to see the source code, maybe some idea in it are good for my own scorination program called leagion. (it is used also by others who mostly know me from the IRC and is still beta). If you can understand JAVA, I can also send you the source.

Sadly, not yet, though it can handle generating a single league at a time. Match fixtures are only present for 20- or 8-team leagues, though.

As for the source code...with it being in Visual Basic, there's a little more than just code to it, but the code would probably be enough to get an idea of how it works. It's probably a bit messy, as it's my first ever VB project. I'll see what I can do.

THIS is your FIRST VB project??? :o You must be some kind of genius :wink:

Melmond Football Footnotes

Cory Yankovic Gets Pregnant With First Child
Melmond City Blues goalkeeper Cory Yankovic recently announced happy news with her husband by her side, she is pregnant with her first child! This of course means that she will have to miss the next season. Cory Yankovic was the first ever starting goalkeeper for the Melmond National Team. She has played for Faasen Oranges and now plays for her hometown Melmond City Blues, where she has won a championship as well as goalkeeper of the year.

Paul "Edgy" Shields Retires
The infamous Morales Blacks defender Paul "Edgy" Shields has announced his retirement. The 41 year old Shields' last games will be at the Cup of Harmony in The Belmore Family and Vilita. "I loved the opportunity I got playing professional football in my own country, I would like to thank the fans who have cheered me on as well as those who jeered me and fueled my fire." Shields said. Shields, immensly popular while playing for his hometown club Morales Blacks will become a local sports personality. Shields has led the Melmond Premier League in cards since its inception and probably is best known worldwide for the tackle that ended Tanah Burung striker Theys Eluay's career.

Cilás Obregon Denied Draft Entry

The League of Emerald Heights Association Football and the United Kingsforder Hispanic Peoples took a punch in the stomach today as Cilás Obregon filed a complaint.

"I don't have a UKHP membership. Why should I? Its wrong. But because of it, the LEAF Draft Comission barred me out of entering. Now to me, that's more wrong."

Commissioner Dan Halls thought the events happened differently.

"Obregon didn't submit an entry on time. If he had, then he would've been evaluated just like all entrants not belonging to a human rights organization. We have to allow a certain number of spots for organizations such as UKHP, and if Obregon had a membership, it would've been up to them to let him in or not. Otherwise, he would compete with the rest to earn one of the remaining spots."

This brings into question the validity of the minority organizations. UKHP president Perez comments:

"I don't know if its right or wrong, but I do know that Mr. Obregon does not have a membership and thus does not qualify for one of our LEAF draft positions."

Cilás Obregon is interested in signing with another league, perhaps elsewhere than the Emerald Heights. He is an 8/10 on the LEAF scale, and plays midfield.

BFA Transfer News

The Amissville Antagonists, who finished third in the First Division this year, are reportedly interested in Kingsford's Cilás Obregon. Amissville has not yet released any specifics of their planned bid, but we will bring more information as it comes.

[OOC: New feature in the BFA for the 2042 season -- teams with international players will get a ranking boost based on the estimated strength of the player (which I calculate based on the strength of their national team). Hopefully, this will prevent teams with international players from continually going down the crapper (e.g. San Diego, Brooklyn, Yuba Utd, etc.)]

Jimmy Marshall, Sarzonia's Vice President for Health and Athletics has announced that a new top flight football [OOC: soccer] league has been established in Sarzonia. The new league, the Sarzonian Football Confederation (SFC) will begin play in one month.

Teams have been established in eight cities initially, with more possibly to follow if the league prospers. The eight entrants will be the Nicksia Knights, the Woodstock Wild, the Portland Timbers, the Saratoga Serpents, the Rochester Rage, the Townshend Tigers, the Ithaca Storm, and the Bausch Bombers.

"We believe that the time has come for Sarzonia to be respected for athletic endeavors and be prepared to establish itself on the world's stage," Marshall said. Marshall added that the league would help the team get ready to field a national team for future World Cup competition.

The Condederation's eight teams will conduct a player allocation draft of college and semi-pro players to fill out their 20 man rosters in three weeks. Training camps will begin in two months, and the 28 game regular season will begin in four months, after an eight game preseason.

Existing stadia will be used until each of the eight cities can build football-specific stadia. Woodstock has already completed construction of its stadium, the Palestra. It will seat 31,200.

WOODSTOCK (AS) -- Georges Martin scored the only goal 84 minutes into the match and the Portland Timbers held on for a 1-0 win over the Woodstock Wild in front of a sellout crowd of 31,200 at the Palestra in Woodstock.

The match was the inaugural game for the Sarzonian Football Confederation, and it showcased two of the league's best-built sides.

"We did what we had to to win the match," Timbers Coach Bryson Tanner said. "The play was very uneven, you could tell it was the first match in our league, but we'll take the result."

"We have to go back to the drawing board," Wild Coach Joe Jensen said. "We were able to implement much of our style of play and we had the run of play for the majority of the match, but we've got to finish our chances."

The Wild missed several chances in the 18 yard box, including a point-blank shot by midfielder Bobby Convey and a penalty kick from Ruzinho.

"That was awful," Ruzinho said through an interpreter. "I have to do better next time."

Obregon: I want out of Kingsford

After a decision in court that Obregon would not be allowed to enter LEAF sans draft, and would only be able to apply to the next draft, he's calling it quits in his endeavor.

"All the fame and glory is in LEAF, and out of LEAF, I'm just another face trying to be great out of the billions out there. That's quite a struggle if you ask me."

Obregon has officially entered himself as an international free agent. He's shown particular interest in signing in either Giant Zucchini, Rejistania, or Bedistan, but he says "every door is still open."

Whogivesa City seal first title.

A comfortable 2-0 win over the Duck-billed Rovers helped the Citizens seal their first ever title at the weekend. Bruce and Bendy were the heros scoring in each half to confirm the Championship, and the start of celebrations in the capital.

It is looking more and more likly that there will be a massive clear-out at perennial giants The Cenataurs over the summer after their 2-1 defeat at the Platypi, saw the Riverbank side move into second in the table.

Cenataurs manager Terry John handed his resignation over yesterday, and a number of the sides international players are rumoured to be looking to move elsewhere in support of the well respected coach.

Rurmours of a rift between Chairman Coinun Itin and John arose early in the season, and debate over the managers position has been ongoing throughout the year and finishing 3rd behind their greatest rivals was the final straw.

Internationalists, Mo-jo Small (27), Wayne Sleet (21), Patrick Flynn (22) and Bryan Wicks (21) have all handed in transfer requests.

Small seems likly to go to Whogivesa City for £3.5 million Warks, while £4.5 million rated Sleet has attracted the attention of a couple of overseas sides. Flynn and Wicks may well gain international interest as it seems that chairman Itun would listen to offers over £7 million for either player, which would price them out of the range of any other HFL side apart from the Platypi and perhaps Whogivesa City.

Portland (ASP) -- The Portland Timbers came into the first ever SFC Cup Final an overwhelming favorite. They dominated the league with a 20-4-4 record in the regular season, easily beat the fourth-seeded Rochester Rage 5-0 in aggregate goals, and were facing an undermanned Woodstock Wild side that lost its leading goal scorer and its top playmaker to red cards.

All of that didn't matter. Midfielder Bobby Convey scored the only goal of the match in the waning seconds of injury time and the Wild pulled off the biggest upset in the league's inaugural season by beating the Timbers 1-0 in front of an angry crowd of 58,231 in Portland.

"All year long, we've been saying that if we played together as a team, we could accomplish great things," Wild Coach Joe Jensen said. "We played our style of football and didn't back down to a talented side and you saw the result.

"We'd been trying to string passes together all match, and we kept losing possession in their end or shooting wide, so I just shot it," Convey said, describing his goal. "It was a great relief when the ball finally went in the back of the net. We were overdue to beat that team."

The Timbers won all four matches against the Wild in the regular season, winning the aggregate 10-2. But that meant nothing to the sulking Timbers players as some of them left with tears running down their cheeks.

"This hurts," Georges Martin said. "We had the best side all year long and to lose like this..." He never finished the thought.

"That's the nature of the beast," Timbers Coach Bryson Tanner said. "When you have a one match, winner-take-all final, if you're even slightly off, you're in trouble."

Melmond Football Footnotes

If You Build It....
Both Aldi Reds and O'Connor Greens have announced that they will be moving into newly built football specific stadiums in the next season. Both teams have become increasingly popular in their respective cities due to the success of their teams as well as the success and improvement of the Melmond National Team. The stadium for Aldi Reds will have the largest capacity of any stadium in Melmond at 97,474. Microcosm of Melmond has got the naming rights as the builders of the stadiums are volunteers, kind of. Many people from Melmond and even as far away as Bedistan are building the stadium under hypnosis induced by the talking dolls of Melmond football players. Even Commerce Heights billionaire $ was found doing menial back breaking labor and seemed content. The stadium will be called Microcosm Football Colossusseum. The stadium in O'Connor Greens will be open air, thus meaning its opponents will have to brave the harsh O'Connor winter. The people who bring you the Ketchup Times, Makinshakes have the naming rights of what will be called Makinshakes Stadium.

Melmondians Abroad!
Two Melmond players playing abroad are homesick, but for very different reasons.
Nina Steen's reasons for wanting to return to Melmond are much happier. She has tasted nothing but victory ever since playing for Hundon FC, the perennial champions of Bedistan. She has been a constant starter for the side and very popular in Bedistan as Matmel talking dolls were made of her in her Hundon uniform. She was also named sexiest Bedistan athlete twice in her time there. "I immensly enjoyed my time here in Bedistan, but I am heading into my thirties and I have done everything I have wanted here, I have never won a Melmond Premier League Championship." Rumour has it that her hometown team Faasen Oranges is the favourite to get Steen's services.
Benjamin Leeb, although he is on quite arguably the most talented team in the world in Alan City of The Belmore Family, wants out because he feels lost in the shuffle. Alan City paid a unprecedented sum for Leeb's services and Leeb was a starter for the beginning of his Alan City career. However, the Alan City spending orgy continued and with the influx of world-class talent, Leeb found his talents being sparsely used. Rumour has it his former club and hometown team O'Connor Greens are the favourites to obtain his services.
As for our other Melmondian abroad, Jonsi Torrini, he couldn't be happier in Audioslavia. He has proven himself to be a worthy successor to the legendary Lee Branson for Cornellby.

Obregon: I've received some good offers, but I'm looking for more. For that kind of money I could headline a Kingsford Pillar League team.

BFA Transfer News

Amissville in bid for Obregon
Though we do not yet know what other amounts have been offered for LEAF-shunned Kingsford player Cilás Obregon, we have received word that the Amissville Antagonists have put up approximately þ6.7M ($11.6M) in an attempt to garner his services.

Steen to return to Melmond
Nina Steen is one of relatively few international players that has come to Bedistan and seen her team continue to fly high -- in her case, winning the last four BFA championships. However, though she is happy playing for Hundon FC, rumors abound that she is ready to go back home in order to try to do for the Melmond Premier League what she has done for the Bedistani First Division. Few details are known at this time, but Hundon are reportedly in talks with Melmond club Faasen Oranges.

Hot, Hot, Hot!!!!
A Preview of a Very Active Transfer Window in the MPL

Aldi Reds: Aldi Reds have won their first ever Melmond Premier League championship and the defending champions have a much bigger castle to guard moving into the Microcosm Football Colossusseum, which seats 97,474. Goalkeeper Snhp Xtfuinxm and striker Chris Owen will stay, but look for Aldi Reds to make high bids on world class midfielders and defenders.

Unne Yellows: Unne Yellows will be radically different next year as the best player in the nation, Critandi Unne, looks to be off to Rejistania. Also defending striker of the year Hanan Belagt may be returning to his home nation Svecia unless Melmond City Blues can make an outstanding offer. Unne Yellows will certainly try to obtain big time midfielder help and possibly another striker or defender.

Acosta Browns: The most exciting bidding war comes out of departing Acosta Browns midfielder Horace. Horace, best known as the infamous mascot of the BSE Free Bovines and naturalized citizen of The Eagle's Nest, went to Melmond in order to hone his flatulence-free football. Now awarded with midfielder of the year in the past season, Horace feels he is ready to move on. Acosta Browns will have lots of wong to spend and will try to upgrade every position.

O'Connor Greens: O'Connor Greens feel they are only a couple of elite players away from being the team to beat in the Melmond Premier League. O'Connor Greens seem to be well on its way to re-signing hometown striker Benjamin Leeb from Alan City in the Belmore Family. Leeb played for O'Connor Greens in their first two seasons. O'Connor Greens may also look at goalkeeper and possibly bolstering defence and midfield.

Melmond City Blues: Melmond City Blues have really been hurting ever since the retirement of Lee Branson. Their defence has been average at best and they haven't been able to stop the potent attacks of their top rivals. The return of Cory Yankovic at goal from maternity leave should help Melmond City Blues. What won't help is that Camui Arai left for Suburbia Whites, but Melmond City Blues still have an excellent midfield. However, Melmond City will heavily concentrate their money on defence and possibly Hanan Belagt. Striker is important since Mornakh the Bloody Handed expressed that he wants to play in Audioslavia and possibly for Cornellby citing how honored he felt about the Audioslavian salute to Warnocks Wizards and that Lee Branson chose to end his career there. He hopes to do the same.

Faasen Oranges: Faasen Oranges are tired of constant mediocrity and believe that focusing on defence will bring them to the upper echelon. They have all but signed hometown defender Nina Steen from Hundon FC in Bedistan. She will team well with defender Phael Survigosis. Faasen Oranges may be looking for some midfield and striking help as well.

Cali Purples: Cali Purples have finally ended their streak of 8th place finishes at 5 as they finished a phenomenal 7th last season. Their excellent midfield play deserves the most credit for their "resurgence." However, since Cali Purples want to keep the services of Martin Goodwin and Chara Effitont, they will focus the little money they have on obtaining a solid goalkeeper.

Morales Blacks: Ever since popular defender Paul "Edgy" Shields retired, Morales Blacks have been the Starless Troopers of the Melmond Premier League. Goalkeeper is their only position of any solidarity. Morales Blacks will concentrate on their pitiful defence and if there is any more money left they will try to sign people in other positions.

Lee Grays: Lee Grays have by far the least amount of money to spend. They could sell the rights to up and coming star defender Trav Strachan, but it will take an astronomical bid for Lee Grays to part with him. Expect Lee Grays to look for a solid goalkeeper, possibly a hidden gem.

Suburbia Whites: Suburbia Whites have already been busy. They have signed hometown midfielder Camui Arai away from Melmond City Blues for a bargain price of 1 million wong. They have also obtained The Evil Umpire native and current Snub Nose 38 national striker Osama Robertson for only 500,000 wong. They will also try to find a diamond in the rough at goalkeeper.

IC: Orean make Obregon an 'unrejectable offer', reportedly for L£15000p/week, which would make him the fourteenth-highest paid player in the league

Orean make official offer: Clias Obregon offered L£24k p/w

Top 3 earners
Player/Basic Wage per week [L£]/Club
=Dominic Dirosa/24550/Orean
=Chris Hawkins/24545/Folenisa
*Clias Obregon/24000

Exchange Rate: L£10k = US$17400 = GB£9472

Clias Obregon has been offered a lucrative GB£22,750-a-week salary (L£24,000) to play for Orean, a club source told this newspaper earlier today. The club also made an official announcement this morning. Paul Dussis, whose father owned the club until he passed away during WC8, the current chairman of the board of Orean United directors, confirmed this at the meeting - "It is of utmost pleasure that Orean United would like to confirm that Mr. Obregon has been offered a very, very lucrative contract to join us - a contract which would make him the league's third highest earner in basic wage, and seventh-highest earner per week ever - which we certainly hope is an unrejectable offer. The player's agents have been informed, and we should be able to confirm a move or a new offer within 24 hours."

Cornellby City have made a £5M offer for Mornakh the Bloody Handed, in a deal which would include Cornellby's 21 year old defender Didi Romanov being transfered to the Melmondian team. Romanov wasnt included in Audioslavia's WC14 squad and hopes that international football can gain him recognition by whoever is coaching the national team in World Cup 15.

MPL Transaction Update

Faasen Oranges: Nina Steen is officially returning to Melmond and to her hometown of Faasen as the Faasen Oranges announce the 2.5 million wong transfer of Nina Steen from Hundon FC. The fans of Hundon FC and her teammates were sad to see her go, but celebrated her last days with the team with a fun party. One pervert was arrested for trying to give Steen a roofie colada. Nina Steen will join Phael Survigosis in what must be now one of the most formidable backlines in Melmond.

Melmond City Blues: In a move that left both sides very happy, 5 million wong and young Audioslavian defender Didi Romanov are heading to Melmond City Blues in exchange for Mornakh the Bloody Handed. Mornakh the Bloody Handed is very excited about playing in Audioslavia and especially for Cornellby City, where he will be reunited with his national team teammate Jonsi Torrini, who is excelling in Audioslavia. Melmond City Blues get much more spending money and bolsters its weak defence with the up and coming Romanov, who may really stand out in the MPL.

The BFA has a new champion in the form of the Jamaica Giants! A highly impressive defense giving up less than one goal per game thanks to the efforts of 19-year-old prodigy Kurt Mumm helped propel the Giants to the top. Karen Neighbors at striker was equally impressive. On the flip side, Hundon FC are apparently hurting quite badly after letting Melmondian Nina Steen go, with a mediocre 14-12-12 season that gave them a mere 9th-place finish. Dawson Springs will return to the Second Division after just achieving promotion last year, and they will take Columbia and Sokojiwa with them.

Zonk apparently has not lost his touch, and with a new partner in the form of 17-year-old Tyrone Touchstone, United's offense was nearly unstoppable, and they will be welcomed back to the First Division next season with open arms.

Just like last year, it took penalty kicks to decide who would take home this year's FA Cup. In the regular season, Canton Utd and Hundon were evenly matched throughout the year, finishing 8th and 9th in the First Division respectively, and the FA Cup final exhibited both teams' defense. But it would be Hundon's goalkeeper who would crack first, and Canton Utd take home their first FA Cup.

Kingsford Pillar League Promotes Kingsforders Playing Elsewhere: TG With Needs and Price Range, KPL Will Provide List of Players

MPL Transaction Update

Unne Yellows: Breaking news from Unne is that the Unne Yellows have paid a very large sum of money to obtain Audioslavian native Jordi Neeskens from Barcoenfuego in Kingsford. Neeskens will have a lot of pressure on his shoulders as he is expected to be the heir apparent to Critandi Unne. Speaking of Critandi Unne, discussion between Unne Yellows and Sen-La-Sa~o Relekhati of Rejistanian are getting very heated. Critandi Unne looks certain to be heading there, just some minor details have to be worked out.

Melmond City Blues: It appears that Hanan Belagt will be staying at least a couple more years in Melmond. Melmond City Blues paid a surprising 4 million wong transfer fee to Unne Yellows for the rights of the Svecian striker. Belagt, last year's Melmond Premier League Striker of the Year, was expected to return to Svecia, but due to the lagging economy and the fact that Svecia will not be attempting to qualify for World Cup 15, Belagt has decided to stay a couple more seasons in Melmond. He will team up on the attack with surprisingly rejuvenated veteran Naol Keelafin.

Faasen Oranges: It appears that Faasen Oranges weren't done shopping in Bedistan's top division. Leading scorer from Bedistan's World Cup 14 squad, Gil Vu of High Mountain Buffalo, has been demanding a change of scenery. He got that and a sweet contract from Faasen Oranges, a team in desperate need for instant offence. Faasen Oranges offered a 9 million wong transfer price which High Mountain Buffalo quickly took advantage of. Vu will be making 9 million wong a year as well with Faasen Oranges.

Cali Purples: After being turned down by Los Vallejo FC of Brazillico for the services of aging yet effective goalkeeper Robinho for 4 million wong, the Cali Purples may have found themselves a more long term solution at goalkeeper for half the price, as Snub Nose 38 native Peaches was obtained from Alkali Desert Rat for a 2 million wong transfer fee. Peaches also got a free 4,000 feet furnished home as part of the deal.

Lee Grays: Lee Grays got themselves the game breaking goalkeeper needed, and for only 1 million wong it was a bargain as they obtain the rights to starter for the Gesamtkuntswerk National Team, Merryl Strim. The Gesamtkuntswerk football association also got the recipe for a killer paella for their restaurant and exclusive location near where Lee Grays play their football.

Suburbia Whites: Most people in Suburbia know how to shop for a bargain, and the football club in Suburbia is no exception. Not only did they obtain native son Camui Arai and Snub Nose 38 national Osama Robertson, but now they have obtained backup goalkeeper for The Eagles Nest Boyd Gregor for a mere 500,000 wong transfer fee. It appears that this side is certainly on its way up.

Sleet confirms his departure.

Wayne Sleet finally confirmed one of the worst kept secrets in Halfassed football to-day as he left The Cenataurs and headed to the land of the Giant Zucchini. Simoleons Utd have signed the international defender for a fee of 3.5 million zucchinis (just over £5million Warks).
On speaking of the departure, Sleet said, "I have always regarded the GZ league as the best domestic league in the world. When I heard of Simoleons interest I was over joyed. I have spoke with Robin (Sherwood) and he confirmed not only the standard of play but that the life style is great. I'm really looking forward to joining up with the club and to the challenge of helping push them up the league table!"

In other HFL news, it seems that Sleets teammate Wicks may be moving from The Cenataurs to the Platypi. There have been discussions between the player and Platypi officails, although at the minute it seems the two clubs may be disagreeing on a fee. The managerless Cenataurs seem keen to get the transfer fee, while the Platypi are offering a part-exchange deal for the player.
However, rumours of interest from Melmond side O'Connor Greens in Platypi and Hurricane striker Kelly Woods could help sort out the shortfall. The Melmond side have reportedly offered £6 million Wong (1 Wark = 1 Wong) and Woods is due to travel to talk terms with the O'Connor officials and view the facilities tomorrow.

Now Announcing "RIKKIWATCH!"
The New Column - Only About Our Gemstone

Rikki Stone, the 21-year-old talent from Chesham, has been rumoured to have agreed to a 7-million wong (AM$6.23 million) move to the Melmondian club Acosta Browns. The Browns have been quite inactive on the transfer market this year, but this will surely be a big signing. Chesham Rangers, in an official comment, said that "talks are underway between the two clubs, but that nothing is settled yet."

Stone, meanwhile, has started pouring in goals in the beginning of the cup season - he scored two in the cup match against Human Division 2 club Artham Wanderers, which Chesham won by 8-1. The Rangers are now looking for a friendly opponent, preferably from one of the World Cup nations, before the league season commences in two weeks. So is the Cockbill Street national team, and Rikki Stone will probably have a busy time in front of him.

Rikki Stone was also called upon for an official comment, but could only say "It's, like, a big opportunity, like, for me, like, then, to go play football in a, like, big, like, country like Melmond, you know, and I'm very, you know, happy to be part of this Melmo...Mel...Melm..."

At this point, Stone was ushered away by Chesham Rangers officials, claiming he was "tired" after a long and exhaustive game yesterday.

OOC: Any likeness with an English right winger is purely coincidental.

Orean Want Obregon, increase offer

Obregon Signs With Orean


Cilás Obregon has signed with Orean, on conditions with the KPL that Orean play three friendlies with club Barcoenfuego, two in Kingsford, one in Liverpool England.

Cilas Obregon: Portrait of a Fraud

The agent of Cilas Obregon must be laughing all the way to the bank right now, as a farcical bidding war has taken place to earn the services of the Kingsfordian player. This bidding war has lead to a potential contract that would make Obregon the richest player in Liverpool England.

But a closer look at Cilas Obregon shows that he's not exactly what he seems. After another gander, we discover that Cilas Obregon was actually born as Cilas O'Neill, an inner-city kid from Alotion. Cilas O'Neill was quite a trouble maker on the streets, and that knack for hooliganism and breaking the law eventually landed him in a juvenile correction facility.

Though a reckless troublemaker, Cilas was always relatively skilled when it came to the pitch. He lead the Alotion County Correctional Facility team to two straight Kingsford Jail-League titles.

After three years of intense rehabilitation, it was believed that Cilas would be able to rejoin society as a contributing member, and was released from the correctional facility. However, it didn't take Cilas long to get on the wrong side of the law again.

"We caught him trying to steal hubcaps at a local mall," said the Alotion Police Chief. "When one of our officers caught him in the act, he said he slipped and fell, and he was merely trying to retrieve his bag of marijuana. We weren't buying it."

Cilas was now facing some serious consequences, so in an attempt to dick out from the law, he changed his name to Cilas Obregon. Obregon then made his way to the Kingsfordian countryside, and joined a local club, making a splash into Kingsford's third division.

Realizing that he could perhaps make a career out of football, Obregon decided to enter the LEAF draft. However, complications due to his lack of a legitimate birth certificate (You know, one without the name "O'Neill" on it) left officials no choice but to disallow Obregon's application.

Obregon and his agent saw this as an opportunity, and decided to play the race card. Obregon claimed that because of his ethnicity, he was denied access to the LEAF Draft. Funny story is that Cilas O'Neill is 100% Kingsfordian.

To top of Obregon's flagrant string of lies, he's not that great a player either.

"Honestly, he didn't blow my pants off," says Smile United's head scout, Vicente Loubardias. "I don't think he would have cracked the top 10 in the draft, and that's just skill-wise, not even considering his troubled past. Someone probably would have taken a flyer on him in the late-1st or early-2nd, since the skills are there. Unfortunately, he'll likely make it to prison before he realizes his potential."

Now that this bombshell has been dropped, it remains to be seen whether the interest for Obregon/O'Neill remains the same. Sashweight and Orean United are known for being hard-headed clubs, giving up ridiculous sums of money to land players so they can waltz around and feel all big and tingly, so this newsflash may do little to deter their zeal for signing Obregon.

MPL Transaction Update

Unne Yellows: After long hard negotiations between both clubs, Critandi Unne is finally the first member of the prestigious Unne family to play overseas. S/he has been transferred to Sen-La-Sa~o Relekhati for a transfer fee of approximately 10 million wong. Critandi Unne was very excited to be off to one of the premier leagues in the world, "I feel I really have the chance to truly establish myself as one of the best players in the world, the experience I will get there will better prepare me to lead Melmond to the World Cup."

Acosta Browns: After being dormant for the most part of the transfer season, Acosta Browns make two big transfers from the nations of Cockbill Street and Dennisov. Coming over from Chesham Rangers in Cockbill Street is striker Rikki Stone for a fee of 7 million wong. Stone's sojourns as a member of Acosta Browns will be part of a Cockbill Street reality show which seems to be the athletic jock version of the Anna Nicole Show. Also Acosta Browns gets a new starting goalkeeper as Dennisian Joehan Bach was signed for approximately 5 million wong. They are still looking for takers for last year's Midfielder of the Year, former mascot of the BSE Free Bovines and The Eagles Nest national Horace. A transfer to Rejistania was rejected since non-human players cannot play in Rejistania's top league.

O'Connor Greens: O'Connor Greens got a lot of firepower recently with the signing to two strikers. The long rumoured deal for Benjamin Leeb to return to O'Connor Greens from Alan City in The Belmore Family was finally made. The final transfer fee was 10 million wong and if O'Connor Greens sell the rights of Leeb again, Alan City gets 15% of the money. The other striker is the perfect shade for O'Connor Greens, Kelly Woods of the Platypi of Halfassedstates. The transfer fee was 6 million wong. There are some concerns about the Halfassedstates reputation for flatulence, but Mr. Woods will have Xtra Strength Beano on hand.

Morales Blacks: Finally, Morales Blacks makes a move during this transfer period. It has just been announced that Polyesterhampton FC defender Rodney Heathen has just been transferred to Morales Blacks for a sum of 5 million wong. Heathen is so far the only star of this team and will be counted on to be a strong team leader.

After revelations from Brazillico that Orean's new signing Clias Obregon was once a troublemaker, Orean chaiman Paul Dussis has warned Obregon to clean up his act and stay out of trouble. Dussis told the press earlier today when he confirmed Obregon's signing, "I have heard things from sources in Brazillico about Clias. If these accusations are true, we will make sure Clias stays out of trouble. Should we have trouble with Clias, he will be sent to the FALE Discipline Council, and if neccessary be refered to the police."

Izh'No'Got Gets Better
Young Ju Transferred To Street

Lyku Ju, the 19-year-old Rejistanian who starred in the U-21 World Championship last year, has decided to move to newly promoted Izh'no'got K'druz'ba. Manager Olaf Iskalt today announced that he had spent AM$14 million on the youngster, which he said "would bring a lot to the club, as he has got huge potential". He has played very well in Hetlasane Hetkali, and he is now given a contract worth AM$1.2 million per year, which would make him one of the best paid players of Izh'no'got. He is also the first foreigner to play for a dwarfish club in Cockbill Street. Included in the contract is a special deal with three free zeppelin trips back to Rejistania, in case he should miss his home country.

BFA Transfer News

McGarity to Barcoenfuego
Despite achieving re-promotion to the First Division this season, Mifflinburg FC is still struggling financially, and some of the team's top players are very worried about the possibility of salary cuts. One of these players, Bedistani national team midfielder Morris McGarity, has decided to avert this problem by going overseas. Mifflinburg have just finished talks with Kingsforder LEAF club Barcoenfuego that will see the 31-year-old McGarity head to Barcoenfuego for a fee of þ3M (US$5.2M). While at Barcoenfuego, he will be playing with other internationals from outside Kingsford as part of Barco's starting lineup. "I've always wanted to see the Emerald Heights," comments McGarity.

Weegie Star: Sport Report

New Season Begins In The Weegies.

The enlarged Weegie Premier League is all set to go for the first round of matches, and the new 16-team league looks as if it might be the closest and most competitive one yet. The other leagues have been increased in size as well, with the Weegie First and Second Divisions increased to 14 teams from 11, and the Third Division has been increased to 10 sides. These increases have, of course, meant that relegated sides, like the WPL side Jamestoun City, avoided the drop - for now, at least. The Leagues are as follows, in the order the teams came in last season:

Mackintosh Thistle Celtic (champions)

The Last MPL Transaction Update

Acosta Browns: Acosta Browns' midfield looks very strong this year, in combination to a good player recently picked up and a great player that oddly no one paid attention to during the transfer session. Acosta Browns have acquired Iansisle native Geoffrey Fletcher for 4 million wong. Best yet for Acosta Browns is that Horace, who was originally wanting to join a stronger league, saw that there were no offers for him and that the Melmond Premier League is rapidly becoming a very solid league in itself. That and the fact that he hasn't been a part of a club championship yet convinced him to stay with Acosta Browns.

O'Connor Greens: O'Connor Greens may have found an absolute steal at the goalkeeper position by obtaining Jeruselem native Abdulla Mohemmed from the financially struggling Beersheva United ofor only 3.5 million wong. Mohemmed has shown flashes of brilliance if not dominance and this acquisition as well as all the other acquisitions made may make O'Connor Greens the early favorites to with season seven of the Melmond Premier League. This news should help them sell out their new stadium.

Cali Purples: Cali Purples finally got someone who can finish the clever assist from their talented midfielders Martin Goodwin and Chara Effitont in striker Trevor Belmore. Don't be fooled by the last name, he isn't a native of The Belmore Family. He is from the nation of NEWI Cefn Druids and has a Belmorian father. The transfer from Mawr Town to Cali Purples cost Cali Purples 2 million wong.

Morales Blacks: As the transfer window seemed to be closing for Morales Blacks, they quickly snatched up Rodney Heathen and this terrific find from the seemingly forgotten nation of Ravenspire. Morales Blacks paid 4.5 million wong to have the privelege of having striker/foxgirl Setsuna Shirosawa play for Morales Blacks. Shirosawa's colorful antics and skill will be a big drawing point for the so far struggling franchise.

Big Changes Are Coming
BFA board approve massive restructuring and expansion plan

AMISSVILLE -- The BFA board has voted 9-6 in favor of a recent proposal to restructure the entire BFA league system.

In the new system, the top three divisions would remain as is, keeping their names and continuing to contain 20 teams each. Beneath the Third Division will be a new level called the National Conference, similar to the style of the English leagues. The Conference will be made up of 16 teams. Under the Conference, it splits into the Northern, Central, Eastern, and Southern First and Second Divisions, and the structure continues to split and grow more and more local from there.

For more details, visit the very much under-construction BFA website (http://members.lycos.co.uk/harleyt1387/bfa/index.html).

Teams have been placed in every division from the top down through level six (the regional Second Divisions).

[OOC: As I've said before, I have way too much time on my hands. :P]

Rejistanian clubs get active in transfer market

While in the last years, the transfer window had only a bit of activity, besides desperate measures like the Hilat trade, this time, the rejistanian activity in the transfers was nearly existing.
Critandi Unne was transfered to the divisasi simu club Sen-La-Sa~o Relekhati. The transfer fee of 20.5 bn lil'kansu'ny was the highest ever payed in our country. Sen-La-Sa~o Relekhati failed to reach the HVSR in the perhaps most competitive league in NationStates (often by small margins) in the last 20 years. Critandi Unne's first match in the red of SLS was in the friendly against DLH1SR team (divisasi ligat heven mje'het sekhika rejistaniha) Jesejil Junis. The team and the fans were pleased by Unne'he's skill and how good he fits into the team.

The pigeons already knew it, is a rejistanian saying if something is well-known. In the case of the transfer of Lyku Ju to Cockbill Streetian club Izh'no'got K'druz'ba, the doves knew the news before anyone else since the discussion was done by the exchange of carrier pigeons due to the rather low level of technology in Cockbill Street. Hetlasane Hetkali did not comment on the reasons for this transfers, but Lyku Ju did describe his new job as "a totally new experience!"

WC RP thread = closure of transfer window.

The transfers already took place and summarizing is still allowed, isn' it?

And just to confirm; domestic transfers, ie between two clubs in the same country, are still allowed if you so wish to RP this.

Last year's champions the Jamaica Giants still put in a strong showing with a third-place finish. On the other end, Hillcrest United breaks Pine Village's performance record from 2041 by managing only 20 points in their 3-11-24 season, the worst recorded in Bedistani domestic league history (all divisions).

Once all the teams have signed up, we will start the tournament on a different thread!

WC RP thread = closure of transfer window.

Erm...not quite. The window closes when qualifying starts, which is theoretically when the 1st matchday results are posted.

So, in other words, the transfer window is still OPEN.

Also, the LEAF Draft Transfer window remains open until the second season starts.

And now MD1 is posted, it *is* closed.

Brazillico Domestic League Midseason Report

Serie A has loaned itself to no real surprises, as the top 4 is just about what you would expect to see. Real Libertad’s dominance was expected, but never to this point, as they have a Goal Difference higher than any other squad’s Goals For, and seem to be intent on avenging their semi-final LEAF loss to Barcoenfuego this year. The shock of this season has been the stellar play of Sporting Azillico, who seem to be making the most of their promotion opportunity, holding on to the 5th spot in the Serie A. The other promotion, Alaranjada United, aren’t doing too badly either, currently standing in 8th.

While we see one team running away with the Serie A, the complete opposite is occurring in the Serie B, as ten teams find themselves within five points of the group lead. Sporting Madeira, the league front runners, have been lead by the stellar play of star midfielder, Guy Santos, collect five goals and five assists to date. As for surprises at the bottom of the table, very few would have predicted Curvario and Libertad FC standing 9th and 10th, as they are usually contenders for promotion rather than relegation.

More News

Real Libertad’s first round draft choice, 20 year-old RevTerran Terrance Liber {8}*, is reportedly unhappy with his surroundings at Libertad. Liber wants more playing time, but unfortunately can’t seem to get any due to the stellar play of the Slaves’ James Scott. There hasn’t been much hype over Liber since RevTerr isn’t known as much of a football power, but Liber is a promising goalkeeper who covers his angles well and possesses above average reflexes. It seems likely he will be moved for next transfer window.

Also, staying with Real Libertad, the storied Brazillican club has agreed to play in Melmond’s Club Invitational. More to follow.

Slash Crazy S Making a Statement

3 years ago, if you said Slash Crazy S, nobody outside of Tar Hallow County would've known what you're talking about. The extremely rural club in the most remote part of the remotest county in Kingsford over the last three years has done nothing but make a name for themselves.

Star striker, Michael Gradnor, a Tar Hallowan all his life, remarked: "It used to be, people had no idea. Now, you can't pass through a major city without seeing a flag or a jersey or the trademark brand." (http://www.panix.com/~jederahi/PM/MYIMG/brand_h.gif)

The roster full of native Hallowans (not one person has ever lived outside the county) you would expect to perform mildly. But new coach, Renson Davis, has other plans. The fabled international coach who led many Kingsford National squads has just signed with Slash Crazy S from Toryo, and already, they've improved drastically. They handed superpower Barcoenfuego their first lost, and sit second in the table, under the Flames, having lost their first two matches without Renson Davis against Alnwick Torpedo (3rd in table) and Shrewtoe (5th in table).

Along with Gradnor, the club's star striker, many other unlikely heros have emerged. Their keeper is the mayor of Fort Gahdes, Kyle Fordenot. Their star midfielder had never seen a football before trying out because he needed the money, List Raghran. Two of their defenders are brothers who work together on one farm, UU Bar Ranch, Waite Phillips and Waike Phillips. All of their other players are similar cases.

"You'd never expect this team to be good. They've got no players on an international level. Yet they're dominating other teams with their gigantic agressive style of play. I'd say they have a good shot at beating Giants Barcoenfuego for the Uppurmaen Cup." Remarks football commentator, John Madder.

Marine Launch Bid For impressive Stott

Defending league champions Marine Coast United have hit out at Yeaddin Owls AFC after seeing their £500,000 offer for Owls flying winger Jonathon Stott dismissed by the club - who are determined to hang onto their freescoring flank man unless presented with a deal worth almost TWICE as much.

But news of Marine's first concrete offer for the Owls 26 goal top scorer and Player of the Season could spark increased bidding for the Vilita (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=vilita)n - after Yeaddin revealed that three other clubs have also been in contact about the highly rated star.

Marine Coast United however are incensed that their substantial offer of half a million pounds for 24 year old Stott has been rejected out of hand by the club, and warned Yeaddin officials that they 'will face problems' in not discussing a potential deal - with the player out of contract in 12 months. But the Yeaddin Owls Chairman has brushed off the historical club's threat, declaring their valuation of the Jungle Cat international as 'on the low side' and insisting that he and his board are not 'in the business of accepting' such unsuitable offers.

Marine Coast United - supported by the funds from their recent sale of National team captain Santo Kecker - followed up recent interest by launching their £500,000 transfer bid for Stott this week, and now look set to spark a war of words after crticising Yeaddin's decision to dismiss the lucrative deal. "We have approached Yeaddin Owls AFC about Jonathon Stott but at this moment in time they continue to value him too highly - if they want to play stick or twist with a player in the last year of his contract they're going to have problems," warned the Marine Coast chairman and added "Which club will be willing to pay £1m or so for a player when they can wait until mid season to get him on a free?"

Nonetheless after smashing 26 goals from the right wing last season, Yeaddin are believed to have set their valuation of Stott at around £1 million, and wasted little time today in turning down Marine Coast United's opening offer of £500,000. "It's a case of having to weigh up Jonathon's value now, compared to what he would be worth to the club throughout the forthcoming league campaign," added the Yeaddin supremo, confident that Stott - who has pledged his loyalty to the club in the past - will remain at Yeaddin for the time being.

Indeed the Owls were dismissive of Marine Coast United's determined £500,000 offer, and explained "We certainly aren't in the business of accepting low bids for our best players and we have made that clear by rejecting Marine Coast United's insufficient bid." But the champions, whilst adamant they will not match Yeaddin's £1 million valuation, are expected to renew their interest in the winger with a fresh bid, and their Chief Executive admitted "We will be making contact with them again to discuss the player and to see if an agreement can be made."

National team coach Helmut Vilkaus has added his support for Stott's recent form. "Jonathon has been very impressive for the senior team as of late, and I can certainly see why Yeaddin would be so hesitant to let him go, especially at just 24, with his best years still to come, I'm sure they would want to get every penny they could for him if it came to the point that he did move on." When asked if he felt the transfer speculation would hinder Stotts performances in the World Cup Qualifiers, Vilkaus admitted he was not certain of what was to come. "Jonny is a professional and I don't see it having too much of an effect on him. But then again, we are all human, and certainly he will always have the talk in the back of his mind. I just hope when he steps out on the field tomorrow to face Svecia, that he has kept the speculation in the back, and his footballing ability in the front."

-WC15Q Cup Season to be Cancelled
The cup season for WC15Q has been cancelled, the FALE sadi in a press release early today. "We will like to take this opportunity to confirm that the FALE Directors have voted 18 to 4 with 13 abstentions to cancel the FALE Cup and League cup for the season. The directors also voted, unanimously 35 to 0 to cancel the WC16Q season should the Liverpool England-Vilita World Cup host bid wins In that case, the cups will continue that season but no league games will be played."

-Schimpol, Orean reportedly after Vilitan Stott - Orean play down rumours
Two clubs in Liverpool England are said to be interested in Vilitan right winger Jon Stott, whose age is unclear 24 or 26 (Quote: Vilita, 'But news of Marine's first concrete offer for the Owls 26 goal top scorer' and 'Marine Coast United however are incensed that their substantial offer of half a million pounds for 24 year old Stott'). Schimpol, who finished the season third with a 3-2 extra time win over Pardbo in the Third Place Match, are said to have made a L£980k (US$1.705m, GB£938.2k) offer for Stott, while Orean have played down rumours of a bid for Stott, saying that with the recent purchase of Clias Obregon, who scored in his debut in the Premier Division Final which Orean lost 4-2 in Extra Time, 'there is (and never was) a need for extra attacking power up front.' However, inside sources say that Orean have made a L£1.2m (GB£1,148,830) offer for Stott, which the club deny.

Stott Plays Down Transfer Rumors


Yeaddin Owls AFC flying winger Jonathon Stott dismissed rumors that he would be leaving the club, at least prior to the conclusion of World Cup 15. "I've spoken with Helmut, as well as my good buddy Nigel Chapman, and the chairman, and we feel it would be best for the National Side if I didn't make any major club moves right now. We had considered the offer from Marine, of course, I'd love to go there as they are a big club and they are looking for someone to fill Santo's role in midfield. However, I think with the new Interest from teams such as Shimpol in Liverpool England, Yeaddin want to sit back and wait for a bigger offer before letting me go. Of course I can't blame them, and I want them to get all the funds they can, as Yeaddin will always be my home town club, I will always follow Yeaddin first. Obviously if they get a very large bid, over £4,000,000, I've instructed the chairman to accept it, regardless of where it comes from. But if the offer is not going to improve the future of Yeaddin, then I don't want them to be pressured into making any quick decisions."

Stott is currently being persued by Marine Coast United (Vilita) and Schimpol (Liverpool England); However, It is believed that Strike FC (Vilita) and Orean (Liverpool England) hae also made inquiries for the 24 year old Vilitan born Right Winger. A Yeaddin Spokesperson emphasized that No offer for the Winger would be immediately turned down, despite the public request of the player. The Club, which finished mid table last season, are in need of funds to maintain and expand their stadium. Yeaddin have confirmed that any transfer income up to £1,800,000 would go directly to the stadium fund. Money for new players would not be made available until the £2,000,000 stadium improvement costs are covered.

Schimpol Renew Interest in Stott - Orean Officially Deny Rumours

Schimpol have renewed their interest in Jon Stott, a club spokesman said. 'We can confirm that we have been in talks with Yeaddin in Vilita, and the player's representatives about a possible move at the end of the World Cup. We have been impressed by his national performances, and our scouts in Vilita rate him as one of the best in the nation. We expect to make a new bid worth L£1.2 million (US$2.08m, GB£1,150,540) by the end of the week."
Meanwhile, Orean have confirmed that the rumours about Stott are just that - rumours. Chairman Paul Dussis confirmed that "there is no truth that we are after Stott, we've got enough firepower as it is."

Owls Reject Schimpol Approach

The Yeaddin Owls AFC have officially received an offer from Schimpol of the Liverpool England League, for Right Wing standout, leading scorer and Vilitan National, 24 year old Jonathon Stott. The offer, worth GB£1,150,540 has been rejected by the Owls board. The Owls have cited that while it would not be precedent for a Vilitan club to sell a player to a team outside of Vilita, Yeaddin Owls have not experienced it, and do not feel the slightly increased Schimpol offer comes anywhere near the potential of an overseas bid. Yeaddin notes the GB£6,200,00 received by Marine Coast United for Santo Kecker prior to WC15Q, and insist Stott's recent form would require a substantial fee to influence the Yeaddin board to consider dealing with a foreign team, when they are confident they can find a GB£2,200,000 bid within the region by the end of the World Cup.

Schimpol FC make Final Offer of L£4.5m (US$7.83m, GB£4.32m)
Offer Details
Upfront Cash Payment of GB£4.32m
Stott will transfer at the end of the World Cup
Stott will be given a wage deal of L£14k p/w (GB£13.4kp/w)
Yeaddin will be given L£1m after Stott scores his 15th goal for the team

OOC: Do note that IRL, even if the clubs accept the offer, the player can decline to move if the wage packet is not enticing enough.

During the next transfer period, two promising Brazillicans will likely be on the move. Guy Santos (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=150735&start=81), the talented midfielder from Serie B’s Sporting Madeira will likely be shipped abroad, as the team fears sending him to a domestic team may come back to get them in the future.

The other player rumored to be on the move will be the Burung-Yang-Membiat-Duria Rovers, Rafiki Torres (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=150735&start=292). The Rovers play in Tanah Burung’s Semi-Pro league, a competitive yet extremely low-paying league compared to some of the other top leagues in the world. Torres’ contract comes to a conclusion at the end of the next season and will be looking to test the waters when it comes to free agency.

Real Libertad will also be looking to ship 20 year-old goalkeeper Terrance Liber (LEAF Rank=8 ) during the transfer window. Real is content with the performance of Liber, conceding only four goals in six matches, but the RevTerran international is unhappy with his lack of playing time. This is because he's playing second fiddle to the hottest goalkeeper in the world, Audioslavian James Scott (The very same who has let in two goals in ten matches of qualifying). Liber is a big goaltender (6'5"), and very sound when it comes to positioning. His reflexes aren't spectacular, but his ability to read the play allow him to be in the right place more often than not. Liber has shown all the tools and potential to become a legitimate number one goalkeeper in the future.

Melmond Football Footnote
Yes Folks! Only One This Time!

Cory Yankovic to Retire On Top
Melmond City Blues goalkeeper Cory Yankovic announced her retirement from the sport of football at age 37. It's certainly not due to declining level of talent as her surprising play after coming of giving birth to her first child, a son. She wants to concetrate on raising her family and if she cannot give birth anymore, she would like to adopt. Her and her husband live in Melmond City. For such a short time in the spotlight, Cory Yankovic has had quite a career. Cory Yankovic was the starting goalkeeper for the first Melmond National Team. She ended up winning the Cup of Harmony with that side before she retired from international play to be closer to her husband and hometown of Melmond City. She originally played for Faasen Oranges at the beginning of the Melmond Premier League, basically being the only player along with then teammate Phael Survigosis keeping the struggling side competitive. After her retirement from international play, she transferred for a million wong to her hometown club in Melmond City. She won two straight titles with Melmond City Blues and a Goalkeeper of the Year award. She then became pregnant with right after Season 5 and sat out all of season 6, where Melmond City Blues struggled. She vowed to play one more year after her pregnancy before retiring and focusing on family life. What a year it was as arguably she still had her talent if not more as little was expected of this version of Melmond City Blues. With the unexpected world-class goalkeeper-defender duo of Yankovic and Audioslavian Didi Romanov, Melmond City Blues had a defence which rivaled Yankovic's peak with Faasen Oranges. However, Melmond City Blues had firepower along with the defence and ended up running away with their fourth Melmond Premier League title. We wish Cory the best of luck in her pursuits and endeavors.

Best of the Islands
Kingsford’s Island Territories are good for more than vacations

When you think of a place like Duremenaqui or Reana, you think cruise, excursion, beach vacation. But what some of the rising stars in the Kingsford Pillar League think is home.

Players from Kingsford’s Island Territories (excluding Sterling County and Valdestower County, 19 in total) have been sweeping the esteemed KPL by storm. The KPL, reknown throughout the world for its emphasis on local traditions and styles of play, is the perfect home for some of these budding stars. Still, some seek to play elsewhere, but are happy being where they are right now.

“I hadn’t set eyes on a football until I was 20.” Says Miguel Atoña, a Duremenaqui Island native. “One day, I saw some kids playing, I joined in. The next thing I know, I’m starting midfield for the Thunderbird Rovers.” Atoña, now 28, is the most popular player on the Rovers, and there are rumors circulating that Barcoenfuego (the closest major city to Duremenaqui) is interested in the 9-ranked LEAF scale player.

Another prime example is Brian Kelzchat. He was entertaining tourists to his native Nallen Island on a street corner juggling a football. A few months later, Kelzchat (ranked a 9 on the LEAF Scale) is now dazzling opposing defenders as a starting forward for Blessed St. Iago, who are leading the Tiberius Premier League, and look to advance into the Super 8. Kelzchat is the forth leading scorer in the KPL (Under Calcéte, Shetfield, and Flér (the Eauzan)) and was named as a starter to the All-Tiberius Team in the All-Star Game.

Perhaps the most reknown name, which put Voxiteppie, Alston County on the map, is Savu Sikes. Sikes, an impressive 10 on the LEAF Scale, has led the Alston Mudhens to 6 straight promotions, to where they now sit in the Tiberius Premier League, on track to enter the Super 8. Sikes, nicknamed Mr. Forever, has incredible stamina and injury resistance, not to mention years left on his career. He started his capricious career as an Acrobat in Cirque d’Eauz on the island destination of Badenst, where he did an amazing routine with a football on a tightrope, ending with a leap onto a trapeze catching himself with his feet. Working 4 shows a night helped increase his stamina and drastically improve his balance and agility. He was soon discovered by an Alston agent on holiday, who placed him at defense, where without fail he has single handedly thwarted more attacks than the Alston keeper.

So is this islandic invasion a trend? There are 44 islander players in the KPL, 37 of them starters. Junior leagues have been set up on the islands to scout talent. Who knows, maybe these players will become the next great international stars in foreign leagues? Maybe they’ll dominate on the Kingsford National. I’d say the Islanders are here to stay, and they’re making an impression.

Relegated to the H2SR: Riandu Redy, Kalimnintan Veran, Rilakil Veran, Kalisimu Salan, Na~ovi Salan, Rirajasase Kaletri

The winners of this season of rejistanian 'sekhika' were surely Hanin Sekhika. After a dismal last season, where they finished 13th, Hanin reached the HVSR-qualification this time. Najajara Ynu also qualified for the HVSR for the second time in club history.

The losers of this season were Sen-La-Sa~o Relekhati, who avoided relegation on the last matchday. Besides the usual suspects like injured key players, personal rotation in the manager position, bad kansu is assumed. An inikresaistic priest was asked to neutralize that influence when SLS R was on a relegation spot few weeks before the end of the season. Apparently he was successfull.

Talking about losers: After the insolvency of Kalisimu Salan, some enthusaists from a club formerly known as Kalisimu-Hekit Ines bought the right to use the name and used a strange inconsistency in the ASR rules to become promoted for H1SR instead of the original (and non-existing) Kalisimu Salan. They drew only one match, but it somehow makes them winners taht this match was away against Sike Kaletri.

The HVSR had the following results:
Matchday: 1
Hetlasane Hetkali 3 Vaje~n Sekhika 1
Hanin Sekhika 2 Najajara Ynu 1
Sike kaletri 1 Jinhes Lines 0
Matchday: 2

Again the run for the rejistanian title was decided only by goal difference and again, Vaje~n finished on the known second position. Hetlasane Hetkali is rejistanian champion!

The transfer window is OPEN.

Starblaydi International Defensive-Midfielder and Penningworth United stalwart Enrico Bigon is set to sign for Kingsfordian club Elders in a $3 Million transfer, making him the first Starblaydi player to be based overseas.

Bigon, 30, said he was looking forward to playing football in the country that currently holds the World Cup.

Rumours that Starblaydia #1 Boaz Myhill would move to a Giant Zucchini club were scotched today, as his club, Corinthian Spirits, stated categorically that he was not for sale.

1719 Season:

Vimesbairn United got it easy this season, winning the league in style after only conceding 14 goals in 26 matches. The only team who came close to contention was Izh'no'got K'druz'ba, newly promoted, who ended up second with their new star, Lyku Ju. In the meantime, U'dh'gazh'dukh K'druz'ba, the reigning champions, lost 0-2 at Vimesbairn United in the final round while Rizh'peith K'druz'ba salvaged a 1-1 draw at home to Jotneheim Mountains. That meant that U'dh'gazh'dukh had to play-off for a place in the league next season - how humiliating for a champion! To make matters worse, Vimesbairn were already champions, and just finished their season off with an 84th-minute goal. Steinlager Aargrogah and newly promoted Chapham Rovers join them in the play-off - Steinlager who only won thrice during their campaign.

Steinlager A 26 3 9 14 13-31 18 Relegation Play-off


Season Highlights:
Matchday 7: U'dh'gazh'dukh K'druz'ba - Roegrow Athletic 4-4
1-0 S Einarsson 18, 1-1 Magnetite 29, 1-2 Jones 41, 1-3 Richards 75, 2-3 S Einarsson 77, 2-4 Jones 80, 3-4 A Ball 85, 4-4 S Einarsson 90+1.

Steinari Einarsson, brother of Einari, poured in three goals for U'dh'gazh'dukh as the reigning champions managed to salvage a draw in the dying minutes against Roegrow Athletic. One of the few highlights of the U'dh'gazh'dukh season, along with the promotion qualifiers, as they came back from 2-4 down.

Matchday 9: Izh'no'got K'druz'ba - Vimesbairn United 0-3
0-1 Sodium-alginate 11, 0-2 Winiecki 38, 0-3 Quirke 86

What a match by Vimesbairn - probably the one that cemented them on top of the league. Their team have only one national player - young Sodium-alginate - but an excellent team effort saw them win 3-0 away and completely neutralise Lyku Ju.

Matchday 22: Vimesbairn United - Izh'no'got K'druz'ba 0-1
0-1 Lyku Ju 75

And then Lyku Ju triumphed in the return leg. The match that gave Izh'no'got an outside chance of a league victory after four losses on the trot from rounds nine to twelve. Although followed up by a loss to fellow dwarves from K'haz'bak, a great effort.

Matchday 25: Vimesbairn United - Steinlager Aargrogah 1-0
1-0 Winiecki 19

The match that secured the league title. Not particularly good, a gritty and hard-fought win, but it was enough to win it for United. Bedistani professional Mallie Winiecki scored the winning goal with a lovely long shot, the only real highlight of the game.

In the Cockbill Human Premiership, the new teams were too weak, while most of last team's good teams continued. AC Swyton won it easily, losing only two matches in the season, and one of them was to already relegated Gunnerside FC in the next-to-last round. Ridley Athletic, new from Division 1, would have followed them back down again if it wasn't for the fact that the league is one team short this yer, while Lindegard FK enjoy a second successive second place. Promoted from Division 2 were the highly unlucky Bear Crossing and Robertsdale Athletic.

As per usual, the D'gaiz'nigh B'zugda'hiara was tight. Only R'dhuz'lith had a season which was fairly normal, but with their 0-2 loss to Hin'drokhi at home, they needed to win two games to be assured of promotion qualifiers. Sadly, none of the newcomers had any chance at all (OOC note: I need to lower newbie ranks ;)). In the end, though, they were safe after Hin'drokhi went down 0-2 away to mediocre Dozh'gah, and fell one point short of Path'nie Roh'nidh'ba, who enjoyed a surprisingly good season after last season's eighth place. U'paha'ni could have saved their spot in the league with a win over Har'dah'bath in the last round, but Jolly Littlebottom equalised for Har'dah'bath with 15 minutes to go of that match, sending them firmly into fourth place. Promoted from T'rekh'nigh B'zugda'hiara were Stien'perykh K'druz'ba, who bounced back from their goal-difference relegation last year, Li'gzoh'akh Roh'nidh'ba, a club who have enjoyed three successive promotions and come up from the fourth division (i.e. Ji'hah'nigh G'do'zhga B'zugda'hiara) and U'ruth'niki K'druz'ba.

In the 9-team Aargrogah league, most things were as usual solved before the last match, but CA Permanganate and Granite CA had a direct play-off for the second promotion qualifier spot. In a tense match at Granite's home stadium, Dug Mound, Aluminium Ligands made the 1-0 score twenty-five minutes into the second half. Although both teams really deserved the spot, as the match was very even, Permanganate were on form from before having won 4 matches in a row.

Promotion Play-offs:
There was absolutely no reason apart from complacency that U'dh'gazh'dukh should participate in these, and they showed it. Six wins and two draws from eight games sent them firmly into first place, while the fight for the second and third Compound League spots were still wide open. R'dhuz'lith K'druz'ba would have it easy, playing against the already relegated Steinlager in the final match, and needing a win to be absolutely certain. They had twelve points, one more than Lanthanate and Swyton, who were fighting for third place (although 5th-placed Lindegard had a chance if they beat Swyton by three goals while Lanthanate lost). Lanthanate, however, were playing U'dh'gazh'dukh in the final game, and that proved a bit too tough. National striker Steinari Einarsson scored the vital goal as Lanthanate were denied Compound League status yet again, it seemed. At the VCG, R'dhuz'lith were highly disappointing as they lost 2-0 to Steinlager - but it didn't matter, as their fellow dwarves in U'dh'gazh'dukh had saved them. Swyton, then, after hearing that Einarsson had scored the second-half goal, knew that they would only have to avoid losing to promote. At 1-1, this was perfect. But Lindegard's attackers, in a desperate attempt to try and get the 4-1 win which would send them into the Compound League, got the breakthrough when Keith Harvey, a 34-year-old local striker, volleyed in a perfect cross from the right wing to send them 2-1 up. Suddenly, Swyton had to attack too, and thus the match ended in a stalemate as both teams were desperate to score the final goal.

Review of the season:-
The Republic of Glam Land Football Season lasts over 7 weeks due to the length of the Elephant polo season which is the national sporting obsession.
The Premier Division this year was seen as something as a bit of a foregone conclusion before the start, however, Bali Bay Rovers after the shock promotion last year went on to clinch the championship from the favourites Turtle Resort Rovers by 1 point. At the other end of the table, Principle Wanderers from the capital had a nightmare of a season and are replaced in the top flight by their near neighbours Principle FC.
The second division was once again exciting and Principle FC made a swift return to the Premiership undefeated in all 7 games. Low crowds - the record crowd in the division of 12,547 for the Derby between Principle United and Principle FC showed that the Island has of yet to embrace the global phenonemon of Football. It should be noted that the lowest crowd at an elephant polo chukka this year was 25,433 and that was for a division four chukka between Marshland Pride and Air Force Academy.

Jhanna City have managed to rip the title from Penningworth Utd's two-year hold as we enter a new style of competition, no longer a Premier Division, this is Alpha. Comparatively high-scoring Iskara Daii were promoted last year and have stayed up, but fellow promotees Hersch Albion just couldn't hack the pace.

Melmond Football Footnotes

Hanan Belagt to Return to His Native Svecia
After a stellar stint in the Melmond Premier League, Hanan Belagt decided it was time to return to his native Svecia, citing homesickness and the fact that he is getting in on years. Hanan Belagt won two Melmond Premier League Championships and two Striker of the Year awards, once each with Unne Yellows and Melmond City Blues. He also lead the Melmond Premier League in scoring many times. Belagt first got the attention of Melmondian scouts in a rather dubious way in the first international match ever for the Melmond National Team. The Svecian newspaper said that one of the Melmond players tripped Belagt from behind and injured him when a matter of fact it was his slipping on ice that caused the injury. The FAs since made up and became friendly rivals and let Belagt play in the Melmond Premier League. And what a difference he has made in this nation.

Chee Blackwing to Finally Play for Unne Yellows
In a deal which was agreed to two years ago, The Lowland Clans native Chee Blackwing finally got the green light to play in the Melmond Premier League for the Unne Yellows for around 4 million wong. Blackwing will give Unne Yellows some much needed firepower. The Unne Yellows attack has been subpar ever since selling the rights to the aforementioned Hanan Belagt to Melmond City Blues for 4 million wong. They hope that acquiring Blackwing will bring them back up to the upper echelon of the Melmond Premier League.

Two The Eagles Nest Natives to Take Sabbatical from MPL
After the scoring debacle involving The Eagles Nest, the Melmond Premier League and the natives of The Eagles Nest playing in Melmond: Horace and Boyd Gregor, have decided to take a year off from the Melmond Premier League and will play in The Eagles Nest league during that time. Hopefully the blind hysteria against anything that has to do with The Eagles Nest will die down by then and both Horace and Gregor can finish out their contracts.

1720 Season:

Compound League:

It wasn't exciting. But surprising, yes - by miles. Jotneheim Mountains AFC, always a team in the middle of the pack, finishing fourth last year and sixth before that, suddenly turned out as the best team of the season by most standards. Winning six games in a row from round 19 to 24, they trounced their opposition with two games to go. A scintillating season was capped with a 2-1 defeat over Likh'gokh K'druz'ba, who had led the league at the half-way stage but crumbled into seventh place with a poor autumn. In the meantime, Upperborough FC were ready for promotion qualifiers two games before the league ended, after a dismal 0-3 defeat at the hands of Vimesbairn United. However, with five teams within three point from ninth to thirteenth, things were still wide open as to who would get the last two spots in the promotion qualifiers. Izh'no'got K'druz'ba had struggled all season, and with a 0-2 loss at Vimesbairn Athletic, the team would have to win at home to Rizh'peith to have any chance of avoiding the ignominy of qualifiers. Rizh'peith were only a point ahead of Izh'no'got, yet again involved in a tight relegation fight, while Roegrow Athletic had been highly disappointing as they looked at their worst finishing position in the Compound League to date. Roegrow would play fellow sufferers Harewood in the last game, who could also face qualifiers if they lost by enough goals. The final team to struggle were tenth-placed Chesham, who faced the crowned champions Jotneheim in the last game of the season. If they lost and Roegrow drew, for example, things would look very dire as both teams had 29 points and could easily be passed by the winner of Rizh'peith (on 28) and Izh'no'got (on 27) - in which case the team with the worse goal difference would go down, and that could well be Chesham. However, it was not to be the case. Izh'no'got scored an early goal in their home ground through Lyku Ju, who thus propelled them up above the safe zone - as they were one point ahead of Roegrow on 29 points, who looked to be the third team down. However, Athletic had a field day away at Harewood, and Simon Jones especially. The national player scored two in the opening twenty minutes, as Roegrow took the lead and pulled out of the qualifier zone. Izh'no'got were back in the rot, having -5 in goal difference compared to Chesham's -4 and Harewood's 0. Then Lyku Ju pulled another trick out of his book. A free kick was crossed into the book, chested down by Ju, who then half-volleyed it into the net - a magnificent strike, and one which had Chesham and Izh'no'got tied on both goals and points! Izh'no'got would, however, be ahead on games won. And better news came from the neighbouring town of K'haz'bak, as the home side had gone 1-0 up against Chesham Rangers and sent the latter down on 29 points - well behind Izh'no'got. Lyku Ju's side obviously thought they had scored enough, and pulled back to secure the 2-0 win in the tough encounter. The second half was a bore, until the 84th minute. Then, the clacks tower up on Izh'no'got's southern end got a message from K'haz'bak: "Chesham score STOP". Immediately, the message carried through the stands and down to the players, who were in a frantic effort. They knew they were one scored goal behind, had to score, and in the dying minutes everyone - even the keeper - pulled forward. It did not help, though, as Izh'no'got finished the season with 19 scored goals, 23 conceded goals, and 30 points - one scored and one conceded behind 11th-placed Chesham, who were safe.

Highlights:
Matchday 1:
KI Lanthanate 2 Vimesbairn United 1
0-1 Winiecki 10, 1-1 Rumblinator 34, 2-1 Rumblinator 71.

Newly promoted KI Lanthanate, twice Aargrogah champion but only just scraped through in last years qualifiers, against one-time champion and silver medallist Vimesbairn United. And it started according to plan, Mallie Winiecki heading in the 1-0 goal after only ten minutes of the game. Then things got nasty. An equaliser in the thirty-fourth minute from the massive Rumblinator, scored off the bar, was followed by a period of high pressure from Vimesbairn United. It was, at times, considered a miracle that Lanthanate held on. Instead, Rumblinator got the ball almost on a fluke after Quirke had shot it in his stomach, ran through two United defenders (yes, straight through them) and smacked a shot that ended up in the back of the net. Despite their frustration, United could not come back, and the match ended in a great 2-1 win for Lanthanate.

Matchday 13:
Upperborough FC 0 Likh'gokh K'druz'ba 3
0-1 Spearthrower 8, 0-2 Dutch 29, 0-3 Olsson 87

A total disaster for Upperborough, and the match that firmly established this outsider team from Likh'gokh at the top of the table. After two indifferent seasons, with a 7th and a 5th-place finish, Likh'gokh led the league at the half-way line, despite only scoring 14 goals in 13 matches. However, with 12 teams within 10 points, the only thing that could be said about the league was that it was annoyingly even.

Matchday 16:
Vimesbairn United 1 Likh'gokh K'druz'ba 1
0-1 Dutch 59, 1-1 Winiecki 78.

Old against new. Money against fighters. Humans against dwarves. Doubtfully a rule of good football, however, as Likh'gokh had faded after their great opening season while United's chances had blown out with a poor spring. This match, though, was a tight one. The first half saw very few chances, but it sprung to life in the second as Likh'gokh were hot from the start. Bjorn Olsson should have scored in the 52nd minute when he shot wide from six yards, but instead it was Matt Dutch who headed in one-nil for the away side after fourteen minutes of the half. Mallie Winiecki, however, saved some grace for the hosts, as her shot from 16 yards after a corner clearance gave one point and still some hope in this very tight league.

Matchday 17:
Roegrow Athletic 2 Vimesbairn United 5
1-0 Jones 18, 1-1 Sodium-alginate 31, 1-2 Trott 49, 1-3 Trott 55, 1-4 Winiecki 60, 2-4 Gidman 71, 2-5 Wilkinson 78.

Yet again, Roegrow Athletic was involved in a goal-rout. Their 4-4 of the last season is still the record in the Compound League, but in this match, they were never in with a chance. Despite getting the first goal in through midfielder Simon Jones, his national colleague Sodium-alginate quickly equalised, and by half-time, the consensus was that United deserved the win. 30-year-old Ian Trott, of United, became the star of the day as he scored two goals in six minutes and wrapped up the game as United were hoping to revive their poor season.

Matchday 22:
Vimesbairn United 2 Jotneheim Mountains AFC 3
1-0 Trott 9, 1-1 Crustskimmer 28, 1-2 Crustskimmer 49, 1-3 Central-Massif 81, 2-3 Wilkinson 88.

The day Jotneheim confirmed themselves as champions. After being pegged back to 1-0 early on, Crustskimmer and Central-Massif, the two strikers, decided it was time to make their show. Supported by a technical and powerful midfield, they overcame the star-gallery of United in a poem of a football game. The equaliser was brought about after a free kick which curled in from 30 yards out. 2-1 came four minutes into the second half, as Charles Jenkins dribbled off three defenders, made a one-two with Central-Massif, and then crossed it along the ground for Crustskimmer. And 3-1 came as a result of a dribble down the right wing which was nothing short of artistic.

Lower Leagues

All the top teams performed well in the Human Premiership, causing a classic finish. Four teams could qualify for the promotion qualifiers with two games to go, and nobody were assured of a place, as three teams were tied for second on points. In the relegation zone, newly promoted Robertsdale Athletic and Bear Crossing FC looked to go straight down again, but could save themselves with a win in the last matches. Lindegard FK, leading the league by three points, could secure their place on goal difference, but a 0-0 draw at home with already relegated AFC Horsham saw to it that they could only lead the league by a solitary point, and in theory, they could be knocked out of the play-off if they lost to 5th-placed Utterwich away in the last match. The two main competitors, Swyton and Chapham Rovers, both secured one-goal wins at home, and Swyton would definitely qualify as long as they beat Ridley Athletic away. Chapham Rovers would meet the yo-yo team, already relegated Bear Crossing FC in the last match, and needed a big win to qualify for the promotion qualifiers. Keynesville could only qualify in theoretical calculations, having to beat Quagnell FC while both Swyton and Chapham lost.

In the bottom of the table, things were just as even. Luckily for the three teams behind Robertsdale Athletic, their season was already over, so a draw would be enough for both Lyttlewood, FC of 1698 and Quagnell FC to save themselves. Robertsdale would only have to watch in agony. Bear Crossing and Horsham were already relegated before the last round. And of course, that's exactly what happened. Lyttlewood beat Vimesbairn Cricket 2-1, FC 1698 beat Horsham 3-1 away, and Quagnell beat top team Keynesville 1-0 and denied them the promotion.

In a terribly boring match at Bear Crossing, Chapham Rovers could not exploit their chance of promotion, and it ended in a boring 0-0 draw. AC Swyton qualify for their second successive promotion qualifiers, along with Lindegard, who qualified for their third with a comprehensive 2-1 defeat of Utterwich. Rippleton FC and Toon Eagles were promoted from Human Division 1.

However, the D'gaiz'nigh B'zugda'hiara was quite the opposite. Everything was decided with two games to go - G'ch'perykh Irgo'ba had secured promotion with a 1-0 home win over Path'nie, Grakh'nakh became second with their 1-0 win of Li'gzoh'akh, while there was a fight between Sto'kh'darakha and Heim'ath'nooh to avoid the wooden spoon. Sto'kh'darakha saved that with a 2-1 away win over 6th-placed Hin'drokhi, which gave them an unassailable four-point lead over Heim'ath'nooh, but still went down into T'rekh'nigh B'zugda'hiara. Up from T'rekh'nigh B'zugda'hiara came Zha'pach'goh Irgo'ba, U'paha'ni K'druz'ba and Rykh'khakh K'druz'ba.

Steinlager Aargrogah were very keen on regaining their place in the Compound League, which they had been pipped to by a point by several other sides last year. And they were looking to do so this year, as they led the league by eight points at the half-way stage. However, a dismal post-season which included losses to all the good sides in the league saw to it that they could lose a place in the qualifiers. A lucky 0-0 draw away at BC Dichromate in the penultimate round in a six-pointer, however, made them gain a three-point edge over Dichromate, and only theory could see them out. Along with them came Point/Grunt AC, who had rebuilt after last season's dismal display and had almost secured the league win before their last meeting with bottom team AK Mineral. However, they lost 1-2 and Steinlager could pip them by two points. Mineral and Fjell, again, had to qualify to survive in the league.

Promotion Qualifiers

Point/Grunt AC made full use of their eight matches, having to skip the last round of these qualifiers but nevertheless winning five out of eight matches and topping the tables before the last round. Steinlager Aargrogah, in fourth place, had no chance of passing them even if they won, so Point/Grunt had secured promotion and three troll teams in the Compound League next year. Izh'no'got and Rizh'peith, two of the teams who had failed dismally in the Compound League and now had to face relegation, were in second and third and faced fellow dwarf opposition to survive. Lyku Ju's dwarf side needed to beat G'ch'perykh Irgo'ba, at the very bottom of the league, to survive, while the same applied to Rizh'peith K'druz'ba playing Grakh'nakh K'druz'ba. Steinlager Aargrogah had a chance to pip them if they won and either of the two dwarf teams drew, while Upperborough FC were as good as relegated - they needed to beat Steinlager while Rizh'peith lost. Steinlager got one of their wishes fulfilled - Rizh'peith were held to a 0-0 draw by Grakh'nakh - but they lost 0-2 to Upperborough FC and thus failed to promote. Upperborough were, in the final minutes, just praying for Grakh'nakh to score, but Rizh'peith held on and survived in the Compound League for the third year running.

Semi-finals:
Vimesbairn Athletic 1 Harewood 0 aet (0-0 after 90 minutes)

33-year-old Jonny Ball made his mark on this match after 98 minutes, as the international forward scored the winning goal in this otherwise dreary match. This match was played right after Cockbill Street's 1-0 defeat of Wella in the Cup of Harmony, which probably explains the System Karela outburst.

Jotneheim Mountains 0 Vimesbairn United 1

Vimesbairn United won in regular time, in the packed Jotneheim Park, over a side that's probably going to be their biggest rival over the years - in a match that probably deserved to be the cup final. Nevertheless, a 72nd-minute cross from Sodium-alginate hit the head of Mallie Winiecki, as she scored her first Cup goal of the season and made it ready for a Vimesbairn derby.

Final:

Vimesbairn Athletic 0 Vimesbairn United 0
Vimesbairn National Stadium, attendance: 104,968

Not your typical 0-0 match, although Athletic again tried to employ System Karela for the first ten minutes. That caused the over 30,000 Athletic fans in the stadium to start booing their own team, and their coach, Alan Mullett, decided that maybe getting your own fans on your side was a good idea. Despite that, however, both keepers were up, down, right, left, and generally at every single nook and cranny of the goal. Victor Crux, the 24-year-old Athletic keeper is certainly pushing for a second spot in the international team behind the outstanding Frederic Roberts of Rizh'peith. He saved three 100 %-chances from United strikers - helped, granted, by poor shots, but still some magnificent saves. At the other end, the United keeper Ben Gubbinge was just as unhelpful, and Athletic couldn't even score from the penalty spot in the 71st minute.

Final - replay:

Vimesbairn Athletic 1 Vimesbairn United 2
Vimesbairn National Stadium, attendance: 119,581
Goals: 0-1 Richardson 14, 1-1 Dutch 59, 1-2 Sodium-alginate 87 pen
Red card: Victor Crux (Athletic) 81

If the final had been good, the replayed final was marvellous. An early goal from defender Eric Richardson set the pace of the match, forcing Athletic forward on the pitch. Crux was helpless as the ball was headed into the top corner of the net, and he could only blame poor marking. However, some neat dribbles from Matt Dutch, the former Likh'gokh player, had the United defenders confused. No one could anticipate what he was going to do to with the ball, especially goalkeeper Gubbinge when Dutch unleashed a mighty left-footed shot fourteen minutes into the second half. 1-1, and the Athletic fans started flying the yellow and blue colours of their club in the hope of their first trophy since reorganisation.

It was not to be, however. A huge pressure from United during the last half hour had to come to something, and eventually it was Victor Crux, who had saved at least two good chances earlier in the match, who became the villain. In a desperate attempt to get to the ball before United's right-winger Winiecki, he threw himself at her feet and fouled her. A red card was subsequently produced from the referee's pocket, and chaos followed. The blues-and-yellows were suddenly everywhere on the pitch, trying to get to the referee, who had to be evacuated. Six minutes later, police forces along with United's stadium staff had finally managed to clear things up a bit, and Sodium-alginate could slot the penalty safely home. Despite eight minutes of added-on time, Athletic were denied the trophy, and Vimesbairn United could lift the first official Commander's Cup.

League tables to follow when the season is completed.

RUSSELL SIGNS FOR PARVILLE
Ian Question-Mark on the start of a foreign invasion to the Druid league?

Parville F.C. unveilled their new signing Darwin Russell yesterday, making them the first Druid Premier League club to sign a non-Druid player. Russell, a Sarzonian international, will strengthen the Druid league leaders in their weakest area of the field, the midfield.

Russell cost the Parkies 2.8 million groats* from Nicksia Knights in his home country. His former manager at Nicksia, Harry Benson, was disappointed to let Russell go, but said that it was a good move for Darwin to become the first Sarzonian player to play his games out of the country.

Meanwhile, his new manager, Phillip Martin, seemed more than happy with his new acquisition. "Since we lost our two Druid international wingers a few years back, we've not been overly fantastic in the middle third of the pitch. However, signing Darwin should be the answer to our problems. He's young, eager and talented, just what we're looking for."

Darwin should make his Parkville debut at home to bottom club Great Tawney Owls on Saturday. While people across NEWI Cefn Druids are hoping that their club will sign a foreign star, but seeing their hopes come to nothing, Parkville have gone out and started to build their team of internationals.

A Preview of the Very Short Silly Season

Unne Yellows: They will be looking to deepen their already very talented side. Expect them to go for some more midfielders and defenders.
ON THE TRANSFER BLOCK: None

Acosta Browns: Expect them to continue bolstering their already talented side. They will especially key in on the midfielder position since Horace stated that he wants out of the MPL. There have been talks between the side and Giant Zucchini side Westinghouse-Armature FC about Rikki Stone coming to Giant Zucchini, but Acosta Browns have no interest in such a swap unless they agree to take Horace as well and give up 15 million wong and their best young player.
ON THE TRANSFER BLOCK: M Horace (The Eagles Nest)

O'Connor Greens: They are frantically searching to acquire a top defender after Scott Cheney left them to be with Aldi Reds in his hometown. This is a side that needs some luck come to their side as the side is already rather talented. They just need a defender and some luck.
ON THE TRANSFER BLOCK: None

Cali Purples: So far this team has had a stellar offseason as they have filled up their biggest hole, which is in their defence. They have signed Phael Survigosis away from Faasen Oranges for 1 million wong and have signed the best defender from the World Cup champion nation Commerce Heights, Sterling Pound, for 8 million wong. Cali Purples still might not be done yet as they may want another striker to augment Trevor Belmore.
ON THE TRANSFER BLOCK: None

Aldi Reds: For long enough, this side has depended on the talents of two players, all-world goalkeeper Snhp Xtfuinxm and striker Chris Owen. They were able to win one championship this way, but as the league improved, they fell behind in the standings. They were able to acquire defender Scott Cheney, but with Snhp Xtfuinxm wanting to have a taste of the foreign experience and holes remaining elsewhere, this is an important offseason this side. The Giant Zucchini club Dankeschoen FC had made an excellent monetary offer for Xtfuinxm, however Xtfuinxm refuses to play professionally there in protest of the authoritarian regime of the nation.
ON THE TRANSFER BLOCK: GK Snhp Xtfuinxm (Melmond)

Faasen Oranges: With defender Phael Survigosis leaving Nina Steen's attempt to win the MPL with her hometown side for Martin Goodwin's attempt to do the same, Faasen may need to actually sure up the defence as well as the weak goalkeeper. Bedistan native Gil Vu appears to be on his way out as well so some striker help may be needed. This side may have too many holes to fill.
ON THE TRANSFER BLOCK: F Gil Vu (Bedistan)

Melmond City Blues: Last year, Melmond City Blues had arguably the strongest midfield ever in the MPL. However, two of those players in that midfield had left and they didn't have the supporting cast to elevate Melmond City Blues to at least the top half of the MPL. Midfielder Cristina Antunez left for Lee Grays and midfielder David Bixler retired to become assistant manager of the Melmond National Team. Look for Melmond City Blues to try to get a goalkeeper first and foremost and possibly add another player.
ON THE TRANSFER BLOCK: None

Lee Grays: This is a side improving from its up and coming young talent within the club. They desperately need a striker to augment the young talented midfielder Alfred Smith. There was an acceptable offer for another young and talented player, defender Trav Strachan from Giant Zucchini club Noriega Tigers, but he refuses to go there for the same reason as Xtfuinxm. They may not have the money to get exactly what they need.
ON THE TRANSFER BLOCK: None

Suburbia Whites: Suburbia Whites have been one big frustration for hometown hero Camui Arai, who is seemingly having to do almost everything by himself. Goalkeeper Boyd Gregor was a schmo thus far and striker Osama Robertson has been a bust. They do not have much money to spend, but expect them to be optimistic with their offers.
ON THE TRANSFER BLOCK: GK Boyd Gregor (The Eagles Nest)

Morales Blacks: The only bright spot for this side has been defender Rodney Heathen, however the rest of this side played like shite. They will focus on trying to get some talented around Heathen.
ON THE TRANSFER BLOCK: F Setsuna Shirosawa (Ravenspire)

Elliston retain their title with the top three the same as last year.

Gravopol are relegated, replaced by KSL side Casuals Osteria, meanwhile a playoff will occur between Dinamo Selyer and the KSL's Porthewitt Athletic, Lewison Town and South Diord.

In other news, Elliston have offered €K16m ($8m) plus €K3m ($1.5m) rated goalie Adam Vernazza to Aldi Reds of Melmond in exchange for goalkeeper Snhp Xtfuinxm.

After the collapse of the official Bedistan Football Association leagues three years ago due to a lack of funding (which, by the way, also explains why a lot of proposed transfers never went through), our poor nation was left with its great domestic teams playing nothing but friendlies. Early this year, though, many of our best players got together and took it upon themselves to reorganize some facsimile of the old BFA leagues.

As it stands, the BFA is still attempting to implement its expansion and restructuring plan, and in order to help facilitate that, the temporary Bedistan Players' League has taken a similar format, with the top three 20-team levels followed by the 16-team National Conference. Nothing below the Conference is implemented, and as such, teams finishing at the bottom of the Conference will not be relegated. In addition, there is currently no implementation of the FA Cup. So without further ado, here are the results for the BPL 2047 season.

Champions add to winning squad

In the run-up to WC16 Qualifiers, newly-crowned Starblaydi Alpha League champions Iskara Daii have made two signings.

Rodriguez Da Silva, 24, recently announced as the #1 for the Starblaydia national team has moved from Internashionale to the Daii in a shock move for an undisclosed fee, thought to be in the region of 8 million Credits (around £4M). Rodriguez stated he 'enjoyed his time at Inter, but feels he has to be winning trophies to keep his new place in the national side'.

Ceri Salisbury, 21, has been snapped up after being released from the Vilitan Stellar League club Yutzie Sorma. Salisbury is thought to be the 'missing link' at right-back for the Daii, a mirror to 23 year-old Rastian Salaam at left-back. This move can only improve his chances of being seen by the national coach.

For those interested, Iskara is a district within the Starblaydi captial of Jhanna, while 'Daii' is the ancient Starblaydi word for 'knights', akin to 'Samurai'.

10. Cornellby Lemurs F.C. 36 6 9 21 37-73 27

Not the greatest of years for the city of Cornellby. The Lemurs fell away after a cracking start and finished bottom of the division two, whilst Cornellby City found themselves utterly blown away by a brilliant Raiden side, and barely hanging on to second place ahead of Machinegrad, despite having won less games.

Raiden were buoyed on no doubt by their brilliant Jeff Jordan who at 33 is still easily the best player in Audioslavia at club level at least. His twenty-seven goals in thirty-six games have prompted calls for giving him a second chance in the Audioslavia national side despite some awful performances in recent years.

Cornellby City can thank their defensive partnership of Melmondian international Jonsi Torrini and Miles Lang for their second placing, after the two players guided them through a sticky patch in which they lost Mornakh Bloody Handed and Danny Bracken to injury, as well as goalkeeper Haydn Fenwick to another Melmondian side Suburbian Whites.

Machinegrad finished another dissapointing season in third place. Although their strike force of De La Rocha, Rossler, Cullum and Xavier were on top form all season, it was their questionable defence which let the side down.

Following the start of WC 16 Qualifying, the transfer window is CLOSED.

After the last match-day of the D2R 1st League there was a lot of shocks to be seen in the finishing table.

Relegation

The following teams have been relegated to the D2R Relegation League: Arrow United, Gallop Athletic and Real Koruna

Arrow United fans were in despair as they finished up in 14th place in the table after a run of defeats saw them drop from 6th place down the 11th and after finishing strongly last season in 4th place, relegation seemed one of the last things that would trouble their team. Arrow United chairman Kijoy Kirovociy had this to say about the clubs situation. "We here at Arrow City hate to leave the fans disappointed when a season finishes but that is what we have done. I am hoping that the fans will stay supporting us and hopefully we will get promoted as quickly as we got relegated. I hope that the new signings that I am bringing in the transfer window will help us do that."

Gallop Athletic had a hard season after losing a lot of players to injury and through transfers made during the mid-season transfer window and the growing financial troubles in the club. Receivers may have to come in soon and on the club website the situation has been addressed and though the club hope they can be promoted next season, they say that realistically they will stay down until all financial troubles are cleared.

Real Koruna's season was analyzed by the fans as 'a huge success.' They finished in 13th place (Unlucky for some) which is a new club record for highest finish in the D2R 1st League. One board member expressed his delight at reaching the position, “It is a great joy that our team has gotten its highest league position ever and even though we were relegated it shows that our team is improving and maybe in a few seasons we will be able to stay up with the big boys for more than one season at a time”

League Champions

The contest for 1st place was a close and interesting one. On the last Match day with Max United and Max Athletic both on equal points, the derby ending the season was seen to be a ‘final’ so to speak. A draw or win would see Fedcy Hirodyiov’s Max United win the table where a Max Athletic win would see them hold the top-spot. What no-body predicted was that PARANOiA UNiTED, who were 2 points behind both of the Max teams but with a superior goal-difference to that of both Max United and Athletic, would manage to beat the on-form team of E-Tuned City. At the City of Maxchester Stadium, home of Max Athletic, the scoring ended 2-2 and at the Reborn Arena, Stadium of PARANOiA UNiTED, with 10 minutes remaining and E-Tuned City leading 1-0, Max United looked to have the Title won, but two late goals by PARANOiA UNiTED Youngster Über got PARANOiA UNiTED their first D2R 1st League Championship in their history.

A Review of All the MPL Transfers
All transfers done prior to transfer window closing...we are just reporting what has happened.

Acosta Browns: This team just seems to be getting better and better. They finally got Horace out of the mix after many seasons of trying to unload him despite his great play. Horace wanted to play in a more prestigious league and got his wish as he was transferred to Wurtherington Wanderers of Giant Zuchhini for 7 million wong. They got a solid replacement in the form of Snub Nose 38 midfielder Keats who they were able to acquire for 8.5 million wong plus some furnishings. They also bolstered their defence with up and coming Bedistan talent Dave al-Armani, in which a whopping 16.5 million wong was offered for his services. This team will be dangerous.

O'Connor Greens: This side may have lost defender Scott Cheney, but they got a more than adequate substitute in Tanah Burung defender Arlindo Zachary. 9 million wong was give to the Tanah Burung first division side for his services.

Cali Purples: Cali Purples focused on their weakest spot, defence, and got two quality players, veteran Melmondian defender Phael Survigosis and the best defender in Commerce Heights Pound Sterling. Acosta Browns will be tough to beat, but this side is now game.

Aldi Reds: World-class Melmond goalkeeper Snhp Xtfuinxm will finally get the taste of the international experience, but it isn't in a prestigious league, but in an up-and-coming league in which he will be the centerpiece of. He has been transferred to Elliston of Krytenia for 7 million wong and the services of Krytenia goalkeeper Adam Vernazza. Vernazza was then immediately transferred to Morales Blacks straight up for disgruntled striker Setsuna Shirosawa of Ravenspire to complement striker Chris Owen. Vernazza was expendable as they were able to acquire Kaze Progressa national Masidora Frikeren for 8 million wong.

Faasen Oranges: No additions for Faasen Oranges, but they have two subtraction to report. They lose defender Phael Survigosis from Cali Purples for 1 million wong. But a subtraction they are really happy about is about Bedistani striker Gil Vu. Vu, who is in the twilight of his career, really has a believer in Westinghouse-Aramature of Giant Zucchini, who offered Faasen Oranges 14 million wong for his service, which they jumped at right away.

Melmond City Blues: Just two losses for Melmond City Blues, with midfielder Cristina Antunez going to Lee Grays and midfielder David Bixler retiring.

Lee Grays:: Their midfield is starting to look much stronger with the acquisition of Melmondian Cristina Antunez for 2 million wong.

Suburbia Whites: A goalkeeper swap for Suburbia Whites. The struggling native of The Eagles Nest, Boyd Gregor, was transferred to Boomer United of Giant Zucchini for about 3 million wong, and as the steal of the transfer session, get Audioslavian goalkeeper Haydn Fenwick from Cornellby City for a mere one million wong. They are really hoping Fenwick is the answer.

Morales Blacks: They get the goalkeeping help defender Rodney Heathen was desperately asking for as they transferred disgruntled Ravenspire foxgirl striker Setsuna Shirosawa straight up to Aldi Reds for Krytenia goalkeeper Adam Vernazza.

WAIT a minute...isn't Arlindo Zachary in Prehistoric F.C.?

The championship is still wide open, though only the top four, it would seem, are realistically still in with a shout. It's a difficult race to pick, too. Cefn Albion have to be favourites right now, as they have a two point advantage, but Parkville are the richest club in the country, Dinamo Neodski's style of football is breathtaking at times and Bessburg are the form team at the moment by a considerable distance. At the bottom, any one of five teams could take the last of the relegation places and join Garth Wanderers and Great Tawney Owls in the NCD Conference next season.

Two teams that they won't be facing in the Conference next time around are Vilitan Exiles and West Cefn Rangers. The Exiles, a team made up completely of Vilitans and Turorians living in NEWI Cefn Druids, will clinch the Conference title if they can beat Llanfrangydd in their next match and Rangers fail to beat Ormillton Weaponary. However, the battle for play-off places is still close, with a fair few teams still in with a shout of one of hte places. Meanwhile, The Master Cooper Exiles look like picking up the wooden spoon, and also face the risk of elimination from the league, with many other potential league teams looking to be given a place in the Conference.

Meanwhile, the Druid cup has reached the semi-final stage. Dinamo Neodzki will play Vilitan Exiles in one game at Graymouth, while Cefn Albion, who beat Parkville in the quarters, will play Bessburg's conquerors and their local rivals Cefn Athletic in the other at The Hole.

ALLIED STATES PREMIER LEAGUE: SEASON 1 RESULTS

After the urging of international officials, the Federation of Football in The Lowland Clans (FFTLC) officially announced the creation of the Allied States Premier League, which ran it's first season just a few days ago, in time with the beginnings of World Cup Qualification. Many in sporting community expressed doubt about the conflicts in schedules, but the players reassured fans that they would give their top form in both arenas of competition. The season closed with Highlanders just managing to pull out a victory to take the top of the new premier division as the race with Graham City FC tightened in the last days of the cup. The new expansion team: Heartland Central, will be added to the second division next year. Awards are below.

Season Overview - The ASPL's first year in existence proved to be an exciting one, with Graham City FC, Highlanders and Limassol United pushed their race for ASPL champions, which drew out into the last few matchdays. Below details the bitter race to the very end.

Matchday 44
Graham City FC 2 Skopje FC 0
Leeds Forrest 0 Limassol United 1
Highlanders 1 Dublin Clovers 1
MD44 Summary - With each team closing on the Highlanders, these wins here were crucial if either team wanted to catch them. This matchday set up what was the biggest game of the Premier League: a match up the put Limassol United against Highlanders, while Graham City FC faced the tough Belgrad West squad, who were nipping on the heels of the top three, though officially out.

Matchday 45
Belgrad West 1 Graham City FC 2
Limassol United 1 Highlanders 3
MD45 Summary - This was the day that Highlanders pretty much clinched the ASPL. With a disappointing performace put up by Limassol, Highlanders coasted to an easy victory. While the other big match was anything but easy
after a brutal first half which both sides bludgeoned each other to a bitter 1-1 draw. Each side was exhausted towards the end of the second half, with the brutal physical play and hard rain to blame. As the time neared the end, FCer Peter Bearclaw drove up the muddy field and used his size to repulse challenges from Ul-le-ro~t, the star defender from the West side. as he approached the box he rose his tree trunk leg and used his pure leg strength to power the ball through the mud and past sprawling keeper Carlos Rotios (Brazillican) and into the goal. There victory though, proved to be in vain as the Highlanders easily brushed aside the Limassol United.

Colonial Interest in Clanny

.....Sile, Vilita : ..... It now appears that Vilitan Stellar Division club Colonial Sile have entered the race to sign The Lowlands Clans keeper Kolinto Kesstos. Colonial have been in need of a higher calibre keeper since being promoted to the Stellar Division. It is believed that a quality keeper could have turned their Top half finish last season into a Championship run. However, They look to have competition from teams in Bedistan in aquiring Kesstos' signature, as Kesstos has indicated Bedistan would be his preferred Destination. Any agreement between the Clubs and the Player could not be completed until World Cup 16 Qualifying is complete and the transfer window re-opens.

The Bedistan Sports Digest - Football - BPL News

Dennis takes interest in Clanner keeper
The Dennis Bears are not one of the most well-known Bedistani First Division teams. However, they managed a 4th-place finish in the 2047 season of the new Bedistan Players' League, and the Bears are on fire here in Season '48 as well, currently leading the pack by five points with thirteen matches to go.

Recently, Kolinto Kesstos, a backup goalkeeper for Highlanders in the Lowland Clans, expressed an interest in playing for a Bedistani club. While Dennis currently has an excellent goalkeeper, he is beginning to age, and the club is looking toward their future. It is reported that the Bears' manager is offering Kesstos þ900,000 (US$1.62M) for a transfer from Highlanders to the Dennis Bears.

If accepted, of course, the transfer could not take place until the transfer window opens, meaning he would not be able to play for the club until a later season.

SEMI-FINAL LEG ONE
Dinamo Selyer 1-2 South Diord (Republican, Selyer)
Porthewitt Athletic 0-0 Lewison Town (Archer's Field, Hewitt)

SEMI FINAL LEG TWO
South Diord 0(2)-(4)3 Dinamo Selyer (The Watchtower, Avid-Diord)

New Club applies for Vilitan League Membership

Riailia, Vilita - After months of speculation and years of waiting, the citizens of Riailia, a small village on the coast of Turoki Isle, will have something more to cheer about in the future when the Vilitan League season rolls around. Today, the council of Riailia approved the Riailia sporting commission, and their first course of action was submitting a formal application to the Vilitan FA for inclusion in the Vilitan League system. Of course the application was, by this time, no more than a foregone formality, but it was still a very proud moment for all the residents in the small, secluded village of Riailia.

------------While Riailia Village AFC will not be admitted until season four, and even then, will be playing no higher than the lower divisions, just having a recognized sporting franchise is more than enough for the anxious citizens, who have already begun placing pre-orders for Tickets and Apparral, and are lending all the can to help the completion of their new stadium on the outskirts of the Village. Many citizens, however, are optimistic enough about their localized ability in the sport, that they would not be surprised to see their new team make it to the Proper of the Vilitan Cup at the first attempt.
