1928 Final Report

Chicanada Football Union

Well, Money doesn't keep a squad #1 for long. FFCU took everyone by surprised and ran away with the CFU Premiership, having no problem holding off the Aeros and Athletic and Carls while money clubs Stamford and Real collapsed to almost relegation.

Two shiny clubs - City and Victoria - finished an overal horrible run with relegation with ProC.

Everyone in the Premier League is scared about the Second Divsion movers - as ACity and Depot will be climbing into the run after having a classic Cana City Championships (in five years of existence, only the Astur District has seen the champions, with Real being the closest to challending Depot or City). They will be followed by the Mustangs of Finnen, who recovered nicely to make a new run at the top flight.

Sadly, everyone's new small club Northland fell down with fellow rookie Bardford and a horribly run Fulham Saint Michael back to the Third Level.

In the Promotional finals, as said, Astur Depot had no problem adding promotion to their Cana Championship title thanks to their pounding of Astur FC in a big ole final at the ole Depot Centre.

Ibrox and Dallas chose to make their stay at the third tier a short one, winning promotion back up thanks to a crazy run where six teams could have snuck into promotion or the playoffs on the final day.

To the surprise of all, North Cape Town collapsed even with their own money daddy and now have to climb out of Conference.

LigaChicanada

You have to ask? Mission wins their fourth straight top flight title, and this one, like FFCU, was not even close. CWFC tried to make it a race but it was too late as Mission continued to be the class of the Ligas. SP did win Player of the Year honors for Olani Pjan, who shocked all with the Golden Boot Award with 29 goals on the season - but could only manage 4th.

Both Provincetown clubs saw relegation in the two leagues, as the Blockade getting joined by Northeast. AS Cana had to go to playoffs to avoid relegation for the second straight year.

Esten and CFC chose to make their stay in Liga 1 a short one, winning promotion in a massive way - CFC's points easily setting a CFA record in any of the incarnations of League play with Esten being the second most. Saint Jean made their way through the playoffs to meet Cana but collapsed at the Pavillion to loose promotion.

Jaxx U, a historical club if they ever was one (three Premiership titles), continues to slide into disaster with a last place finish as they take Manchester with them. West Coast barely avoided relegation thanks to the playoffs.

Livingston and Foster rebound back up. Not as expected as it should be, as everyone pegged Palazia and Mariner to win promotion. Palazia would get their shot at promotion by working their way through the Playoffs to meet West Coast.

Bishop East just had some unlucky breaks as they could not catch Bulls and head back down to Conference.

Nationwide Conference

CFA and Nationwide finally made a decision about their status, as the 24 teams will become the Liga 3 division come 1930. The CFU is thrilled (especially their bottom dwellers) as the LigaChicanada will incorporate them into their League Cup, FA Cup and Premiship slots.

Bainsfiel and St. George won promotion, and Whitney became the new Lyon as the Worst Team In The CFA...while Lyon went from Worst to Conference A in a season. Rapids continued their decent into crap - many think Goedi City Council may yank their ownership of the club due to their suckage.

Barclay Leagues Cup

While Charlton lost their FA Cup, they did get a backup title, as they won the end-of-season Leagues Cup over Mission in a 5-1 route at Eastentown.

Liga Women

Imagine loosing Irene Miller and Olani Pjan, the stars of the Liga W, and still seeing the womens game become scarier. Well, the parity made the game all the more hectic.

And yet, Esten won another top flight title, while Livingston won their first Heritage Cup Final over a depleted Swans U.

News Update:

Frederic Clement has declined to join Ceridhton Macks, citing a preference to moving to the french district of Oliverry.

OOC: No, he didn't. I confirmed his transfer. ;) Unless you'd rather he did?

IC:
Jean Kitenge has said he is "very much looking forward" to playing for the Audioslavian club Ceridhton United.

"It'll be interesting to see how differently things work abroad. But it's still football, and I hope, I think Yves and I really have something to contribute to the club."

KLF TO EXPAND...MASSIVELY

The KLF is to expand again, and between Seasons Six and Eight will expand from 20 teams to 92. Season Six will see a new second flight, known as the KLF Underleague, which will incorporate the twenty-four teams that currently make up the Northern, Central, and Mercian Leagues, while Season Seven will see a third teir, Underleague Two, made up of twenty-four unnanmed teams.

The Season Eight addition of another 24-team league, Underleague Three, is as yet provisional, dependant on support.

NEWEST OVERLEAGUERS ARRIVE

A chartred flight from Ariddia saw the Overleague's two newest players arrive. Tim Wald, Ousevale's new centre-back, became an immediate hit with fans as he stepped of the plane in a Boro replica kit, while E Lel arrived in a crisp grey suit and was immediately whisked off to join his new team-mates at reigning champions Dereapolis City.

The Clement affair continues as two teams want him. Some people says Clement accepted the Perpignant FC offer, some other said that he accepted the Ceridhton United offer. We'll see what is true very soon as he said he would take a decision very fastly.

Clément Quells Rumours

Ariddian national player Frédéric Clément, reputedly one of the best skilled players in the country, has today lifted the ambiguity regarding his overseas career.

"It's been said I've turned down the offer from Ceridhton Macks. I'd like it to be quite clear that I haven't. In fact, I've accepted it, and I've got a flight scheduled to leave for Audioslavia in three days."

Asked why he had chosen Ceridhton Macks, Clément shrugged.
"I think I'll like it there. Not that the offer from Oliverry wasn't interesting. And I mean interesting in terms of... interesting, not in monetary terms. What people abroad have to understand is that, first, work for us Ariddians isn't centred on profit. And second, none of us Ariddian players have ever played for foreign clubs. So I looked the Audioslavian offer over thoroughly, and saw no reason to turn it down. What can I say; it came first. Really, I don't know enough about foreign clubs to compare."

He added that, although French is an official language in Oliverry, he speaks fluent English, like most Ariddians, and so should have no trouble communicating in Audioslavia.

Asked whether Oliverry had made offers to any of his fellow players, Clément said simply,
"Not to my knowledge." Then added: "Though I think some of them could be interested. But you'd have to ask them."

Asked finally how he felt at having been requested by two foreign clubs, the young football player grinned.

"I'm flattered. Now I'm going to try very hard to live up to expectations, score a lot of goals for Ceridhton Macks, and do some good team-work with the other players there."

whoops! fair enough, a Ceridhton player he is!

Squornshelans Heading Abroad

After several years passing without a Squornshelan playing for a foreign Football team, two Squornshelan players have been recently transferred to overseas clubs. First, young international Kryztoff Markanen was transferred to Vilita's Turoki Isle, with Atletico de Blerontia accepting a transfer fee of 3.75 million Squornshelan Credits (6.75 million USD). However, that transaction looked like pocket change after Krytenian club Casuals New Osteria forked over 13.3 million SC's (24 million USD) for national striker Franz Persson. Damogran FK will have a huge chunk of change to spend on transfers of their own.

The Daily Druid

FOREIGN PLAYERS SENT HOME
By Liam Gessemschmitthaagen-Po

As the tensions rise across Druida, the players of the DruidLeague have found their game to be put on hold yet again. After having no domestic action for six years, firstly in protest at the banning of the scoreline 0-0 in Druida, then due to a plague of alcoholism amongst Druida's footballers, the DruidLeague thought that its problems were now all in the past. Oh no.

Just four games into the DruidLeague's comeback season, where Thackworth Rovers and Druid Tribune were 100% at the top of the league, the league is off again - and this time, it is due to a government warning.

The Druidan government has issued a warning that "if you are not actually Druidan, it might be a good idea to get out of the country". With football playing a predominant part in Druidan life, the foreign footballers in our league will be some of the most high profile departees. They are as follows:


Name Pos Club Nation
Kyle Thomas GK Cefn Albion Hockey Canada
Quasim Black GK Parkville Liamist States
Bobby Bash CB Thackworth Rovers Fmjphoenix
Isreal Dooney CB Cefn Albion Vtorbetin
Darwin Russell LM Parkville Sarzonia
Samson Trouwel RM Cranbury United Spruitland
Raven Oaker RM Dinamo Neodzki Oaker
Aar Lai'aano CM Crook Cavaliers Marligantis
Calypso Martins CM Plaskynaston Lane Proletarian Pandas
Mattan CF Parkville Nedalia
Marcus Tripton CF Cefn Bus Station Cockbill Street
Vanessa Carpenter Coach Parkville Bedistan

Henry Tuck, the 68 year-old Kingsfordian streaker, who has been officially registered as a goalkeeper at Zobordi Cefn TINH for a number of years now, has actually completely vanished already.

In the same vein, the DFA have requested that as many Druidan players as possible find new clubs, as they might not survive if they stay at home, such is the warning the government have given out. If your club are interested in giving a Druidan a home, please contact the DFA (OOC: TG me), and we'll see what we can do.

Yaforite Players Eager to Play Abroad

With the close of the LIDYT season (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9634274&postcount=996), there is much speculation regarding potential transfers and such. MAny players have expressed their interest in perhaps playing abroad, and their clubs are excited as well. It will do the LIDYT good to have another inflow of cash, as the gap between richer and poorer clubs is expanding.

All interested clubs are expected to apply in this thread, though they can also Telegram. Please pick a player or ask; there is a Yaforite player for your needs! Yaforite players fill a variety of positions, from defender to striker. the LIDYT is a less physical league, with lenient referees, so these players should be expected to foul a lot, as well as pass; YAforites pass very much. Also, the LIDYT is a league that concentrates more of defense, so these players will be expected to be very defensive.

Star Striker Fernando Malar has also wanted to go abroad. The striker, who recently set the LIDYT record in goals scored, is expected to accompany a figure of about $53 million, an all time high for the LIDYT. In an interview, he stated that "playing abroad is a very interesting and wholesome experience," and that "all players should so it". All interested clubs should contact Ajer United.

-Excerpt from The Ajerite Sun

Due to the collapse of both the DruidLeague and the nation of Vtorbetin, centre-back Israel Dooney had been left somewhat homeless. Until, that is, a phonecall came from Linford United coach Snhp Xtfuinxm. Now Dooney will be playing in the Overleague for the struggling side.

Two KPFA League Premier Division teams - Kaza X-Teem and Texat Aba - have expressed interest in Yaforite players.

X-Teem have K50m ($14m) to spend and wish to buy a right-back and a defensive midfielder; Texat Aba have K20m ($5.6m) to spend and wish to buy a central defender.

Matriarquina Willinana rules out Tribuana
Biggest male star in Bipedaleen Footie sent off for good

by Ingbaba

Bananaton-- In a move that surprised no one except, perhaps, fanatical pro-maleinist supporters, Matriarquina Willinana has made her first official pronouncement since her installation as head of the RBACFA; and it is an unwavering condemnation of male striker Tribuana, star of the Throck Sisters’ Clothiers side.

In an announcement Tuesday at RBACFA headquarters in Beachhaven, outside Bananaton, Willinana made it clear that ‘uppityness’ will not be tolerated from male players under her reign. “Tribuana has become a disgrace to right-thinking apes,” she said before a room packed with reporters. “His insistence on showing rebellious behaviors, his constant disrespect for Ms. Throckspartle while serving on the national side, and above all, his disregard for our national image, make him a poor representative of Bipedaleen sport, and a negative role-model to our youth. Though I cannot prevent Tribuana from participating in trans-border futsal, I can and will prevent him playing footie in the RBA. He is hereby banned for life from all sanctioned RBACFA matches, and forbidden to appear on any national footie side under RBA auspices.”

In a question-and-answer period following her announcement, Willinana was asked whether she thought it harmful to the organization to permanently ban the top scorer from the RBA’s recent qualifying entry to the World Cup. “We have plenty of great players in the RBA,” she said. “And they’re female. We don’t need a back-talking male to carry the side.”

Speculation began immediately as to whether Tribuana would find a home playing for a foreign side, or if his current foray into futsal will pan out into a career.

Bucks Lake Athletic administrative offices, Bucks Lake

"I've looked through the regulations six times," said club manager Sven Cardinal somewhat exasperatedly. "There's nothing in here saying that we have to use human players."

"But I would think surely that's implied and doesn't need to be stated!" Club president Martin Sanford appeared to be equally unrelenting on his side of the argument. "Bedistan is a human nation, therefore surely it would make sense that only humans can play on our teams."

"Wait a minute," Cardinal responded. "Wasn't there a player from Giant Zucchini in the Bedistani leagues at one point?"

"Yeah. So?"

"Well, they're not human..."

"Are you sure about that? Just because the nation is called Giant Zucchini doesn't mean the people are a bunch of zucchinis. What, you think everyone from Total n Utter Insanity is insane--"

"Yes--"

"--or that One Red Dot is populated by a bunch of lonely dots?"

"Look, I can tell when you're losing an argument, and you're definitely losing right now. The Bedistan Football Association has not made any rules regarding what species may play professional football."

"All right. Fine. I'll grant your request, but when the BFA fines the heck out of us, you'll pay out of your own pocket."

"Fair enough." And with that Cardinal returned to his desk to write a letter.

From: Sven Cardinal, Manager, Bucks Lake Athletic Football Club
To: Matriarquina Willinana, Republic of Bipedal Apes Consolidated Footie Association

Matriarquina:

I noted your recent decision to ban Tribuana from playing football in the RBA. While I cannot, of course, change your decision in that regard or influence RBACFA policy in any way, I personally feel that Tribuana has done nothing wrong and should continue to have a chance to play, as you yourself will, I'm sure, admit that he is in fact one of the best strikers in the RBA. So if he cannot play there, I would like to give him a chance to ply his trade in Bedistan instead. Bucks Lake Athletic is a highly diverse club, home to players from nations including Spruitland and Chicanada, and as such Tribuana should not feel entirely out of place here, despite humans comprising nearly 100 percent of the population. We have been very successful as of late, constantly maintaining mid-table status in the Bedistan Premier League (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Bedistan_Premier_League), often regarded as one of the three most competitive professional leagues in the world. On behalf of the entire staff and playing squad of Bucks Lake Athletic, I hope you will accept my offer.

Sincerely,
Sven Cardinal
Manager, Bucks Lake Athletic Football Club

Willinana lounged in the salon, reading her mail. It was good to be young, and beautiful, and the granddaughter of the Prime Matriarch. There was a pile of postcards from young admirers. There were several letters of varying length and intelligibility supporting her decision to ban that uppity male from footie. There was a note from Ms. Yorklenana approving of her handling of the situation. There were a number of invitations to exclusive parties, a few state-level events, a ribbon-cutting at a new strip-mine. There was a memo from the manager of a footie club in Bedistan inquiring about signing Tribuana. There were—

Wait a minute.

Wait just a minute. She took another look at the memo. Yes, it was indeed a memo from the manager of a Bedistani footie club who wished to employ Tribuana.

Hey,” she said, “look at this.”

“What?” Pigblotto, her oldest friend and bosom buddy, was busy playing Doomquake on the three-meter flat-screen hi-def plasma screen that, unfortunately, was not good for much else, thanks to the poor state of Bipedaleen broadcasting.

“It’s a memo,” said Willinana.

“So? You get, like, a million memos.”

“This one’s good. Check it out.”

Reluctantly, Pigblotto paused the game just as Duke Doomster was eviscerating an orc with a rusty bike chain he’d picked up.

“It’s from Bedistan,” Willinana explained not-too-helpfully as she handed the memo to her friend.

Pigblotto read. “They don’t think you should have banned Tribuana,” she said.

“Yeah, keep reading.”

“Um… They want him to play for their team.”

“Can you believe it?”

“Yeah, what jerks,” Pigblotto said, loyally.

“They don’t know what they’re getting into!”

“You gonna tell them to go ahead?”

“I think I should warn them. I mean, if they want to hire that male, it’s fine with me. I just want to be able to say, ‘I told you so,’ when it all ends in tears.”

“So warn ‘em,” Pigblotto advised, returning to her game.

“Yeah, that’s what I’m going to do.”

Memo

To: Ms. Sven, Buck Lake Footie Club
From: Matriarquina Willinana of the RBA
Re: Be Careful!!!1!

Dear Ms. Sven,

I realize you are human and maybe don’t realize the severity of the situation you are on the brink of entering yourselves into. But please take my advice and be advised that if you hire Tribuana, you will do so At Your Own Risk!! He is an uppity back-talking male who A. doesn’t know his place and B. gets all up in your face about it. I remember one game last year during the World Cup when he actually talked to the reporters after a game and Ms. Throckspartle just about had to whale the crap out of him. I wouldn’t exactly call him a credit to our nation, is what I’m saying. If you ladies want to hire him, go ahead and do it, but please don’t come crying to me if he ruins your team morale, causes your males to start getting uppity, and agitating for pay raises or something. I think he can be reached in The Macabees right now, that’s where he’s coaching in that silly futsal thingy.

Think about it!!

Yours,

Willinana

Matriarquina Willinana rules out Tribuana
Biggest male star in Bipedaleen Footie sent off for good

MFL teams stumbling head over foot to get Tribuana

After the shocking news yesterday that Bipedal Apes star striker Tribuana would be on the market the entire league of the MFL Premier Division started running around desperately trying to find a loop hole to secure the coveted prize. With the season already 10 weeks in and the race as close as ever every team is hoping for an advantage. The Desert Foxes coach Martin Gilbarfi summed up everybody's feelings with this, "If we can get him then we have one more good player to use. We need more offense on our team because right now we have had some major lulls in scoring. Tribuana would be the perfect remedy." Ronny Marcolin, considered by many the best coach in Milchama, said "We play 3-3-4 and the more offense we can generate the better because all the teams we play also play 3-3-4s so Tribuana can help our strike core and our fortunes in this league." The competition now is who can outmaneuver who to get the coveted Tribuana.

Quarua Lakeside have joined the rush for Tribuana, the outcast striker from the Bipedal Apes. The free agent has been offered a three-year contract believed to include a large banana bonus. Some claim this is straight from the set of the 74th most popular quiz show in Progressan history (http://www.ukgameshows.com/index.php/Supermarket_Sweep), currently undergoing a resurgence in popularity. Others have pointed out that the offer may be from the jungle-themed Quaruan restaurant Taste of the Tropics, noted for its banana dishes and rumoured to be negotiating for an advertisement board deal at the stadium - an unusual move for a company without nationwide reach.

The club hope that the prospect of him teaming up with Progressan striker Nonbi Olog would attract the player and fans alike.

The third season of the Apex League has kicked off with a slightly new (albeit bog standard) relegation / promotion format. The bottom three teams in any division are automatically relegated. The top two teams are automatically promoted, with the third promotion place decided by promotion playoffs contested between the next four teams culminating in a final played at the Stadiwm Bettia.

Last year's double winners Akani Sands have got their title defence off to a shaky start, losing five of their first ten games, although rising Under-21 star Gwrlais Devanallt has formed a formidible strike partnership with stalwart John Harding.

Currently topping the table are last year's suprise package CPD Porthbalfa - their combination of a stingy defence and the on-form strike partnership of Oliver Stankovic and Mark Nethercott sees them just ahead on goal difference from a resurgant Gabalfa Rovers.

Managed by former star Stuart Abdul-Rahim, the Flames have put the mediocrity of last season well and truly behind them. Their rock solid defence has been the key, conceding just five goals so far.

Proud owners of the only unbeaten record in the division are third-placed Grappenhall, whose long-suffering supporters could be forgiven for thinking that maybe, just maybe, things are finally looking up for this traditional giant of Bettian football. Just behind them are Sukatra Tigers, Gabalfa City and Butetown Dragons. Many feared that the Tigers would falter this season after seeing young stars Gwynoro Tyrno'r and Safwan Sulaiman seek pastures new in the Vilitan V-League. However, Vilitan Under-21 international Raymond Watson is starting to fit in nicely.

Of all the newly-promoted teams, 2nd Division champions Treebrook Wanderers are finding things toughest of all, having scored a paltry three goals in their first ten games. They're not bottom though - that dubious honour belongs to Maindy, who are the only winless team in the division so far. Just above them, and not-so-proud owners of the leakiest defence are Emcorn, who must be wondering what the hell has gone wrong after finishing sixth last year. Not suprisingly, their manager has found himself on the sharp end of the chairman's boot, and the team's assistant manager is at the helm.

The other two promoted teams, Kirkwood Town and Rumnasih Rangers are sitting seven points ahead of the relegation zone. Although finding wins hard to come by, they'll be happy to be in a relatively comfortable position.

In the second division, Girimukti Subarnas are sitting on top after an excellent start which has seen them win all but two of their opening games. They are followed by Llanedalia, who narrowly missed promotion last year by just three goals, Fiilghud Town and Persifera.

Two of the clubs relegated from the top flight are sitting just off the pace on fourteen points. Tamrida seem to be establishing themselves as draw specialists, having come away form half their games with honours even, whilst Whitchurch are faring just slightly better. On the other hand, Roath Albion are looking nervously over their shoulders at the relegation battle forming just behind them.

Lorshill Engineers already find themselves six points from safety, whilst FOYNLS, AFC Rendrew, Pen-y-Bydd and Hyppo Fernley are hoping their fortunes improve soon.

Two KPFA League Premier Division teams - Kaza X-Teem and Texat Aba - have expressed interest in Yaforite players.

X-Teem have K50m ($14m) to spend and wish to buy a right-back and a defensive midfielder; Texat Aba have K20m ($5.6m) to spend and wish to buy a central defender.

Players in X-Teem Range:

Right-backs:
Harolen Moares ($8 million)
Geme Gratr ($12 million)
Treman Halaven ($7 million)

Defensive Midfielder:
Jordad Hgrafi ($11 million)
Ikorat Federof ($6 million)
Frad Goredamovich (Not sure if wants to play abroad, $2-4 million)

Players in Texat Range:
Halen Croat ($5.5 million)
Jumer Havas ($4 million)

Others are there as well, but do not wish to play abroad.

Tribuana sat in the tiny motel room, contemplating his toes. What trans-border fame they had brought him! The Buck Lake side had written that nasty Matriarquina and asked permission to recruit him. The Milchama premiere league was about to engage in a bidding war for his services. And Quarua Lakeside was willing to offer a banana bonus if he signed.

All thanks to those two unassuming feet down there at the end of his legs! "Thank you, toes," he said, before picking up the phone.

"Front desk," said the operator.

"I need to send telegrams," Tribuana informed her.

"Certainly, sir."

Sir? Wondered Tribuana. What could this word mean? but he didn't have time to pursue it. "To the Footie officianators in Buck Lake, Bedistan; Quarua Lakeside, In Kaze Progressa; and at the Milchama Footie Association. Got it?"

"Yes, sir. Go ahead."

"Dear Ladies, I am humbled to be sought by your esteemed footie teams. Stop. I would be delighted to consider all offers. Stop. Will I need to send a resume or application to your HR recruiters? Stop. What sort of starting salary is available? Stop. Please contact me with details. Stop. Yours, Tribuana."

"Can you spell that please, sir?"

"Um. Okay. Dear: D-E-A-R. Ladies: L-A-D-I-E-S--"

"Just the name, sir. I can spell ther est."

"Oh, right. Tribuana. T-R-I-B-U-A-N-A."

"Thank you. I'll send these right off."

The coveted striker rang off and sat back to further contemplate his toes, wondering how far they would take him.

OOC: Yafor 2, the dollar rates of the deal are the same as they were before, but the value in kaks (K) is lower than was initially implied. I'd calculated the $ values as though they were the £ values. My NSEconomy page had an exchange rate of K1 = $2.02 at the time, and £1 = $1.77 - unfortunately I then ended up calculating the rate of K1 = £3.63 and then started to think K1 = $3.65. Hence the confusion. I'd been engaged in a transfer deal with another UK RPer too, which might explain the conversion chaos anyway.)

I'm now setting a fixed value of K1 = £4 to prevent this confusion. This equates to K1 = $2.267 at current exchange rates. The kak value of the bid is set by that value.

IC:
Kaza X-Teem have made bids for Harolen Moares and Ikorat Federof for K18m/$7.94m and K13.5m/$5.96m respectively. Texat Aba have made a K9m/$3.97m bid for Jumer Havas.

Meanwhile, this post will soon be edited to include the list of all Progressan players willing to move abroad. All prices are listed in kaks (K): divide by 4 for the value in £, and to convert that value into your local currency use the exchange rates at www.xe.com. The position will be denoted by codes, which are mostly self-explanatory. If more than one is listed the player is capable of playing in multiple positions, his preferred position listed first.

Casaran Professional League Completes Season
New Scorination Procedures, expansion, and reorganization in store

For once, Casari was able to finish a season of domestic soccer in the four divisions of the Casaran Professional League.

The First Division

Hamilton Bay SC 22 4 7 11 24 43 -19 19
FC Fairford 22 4 5 13 29 39 -10 17

The latest First Division season resulted in Tyrellia City's first championship in 6 years. The championship fight lasted all year as City fought toe-to-toe with perennial third place West Baronies SC for the leauge championship before locking it up with a single point. Champions for the last 4 seasons Tyrellian International had a dissapointing season, unable to defend their title with a 10-8-4 record and barely nipping newly promoted 10-6-6 Winton Market, who jumped directly from the Third to the First last year.

After that, the traditional group of have-nots in the First Division put together average sub-30 point seasons.

The Second Division
Team GP W D L GF GA GD PTS
Cornerian 22 17 2 3 47 9 +38 53
United Arcadian 22 17 2 3 48 11 +37 53

FC Stockton 22 2 6 14 11 32 -21 12
Fenstrom FC 22 2 3 17 8 34 -26 9

This years close second division race was between usual borderline teams Cornerian and United Arcadian, who had the difference settled by just a single goal. The shocking aspect of this years' Second Division fight was 3 ties on points between 12 teams, the other two being between Fenstrom-Riverside and Remoro 44 and Kotan and Welsian.

The Third and Fourth Divisions
This years Third Division contest had Longford River FC finish the year 6 clear over Ayuma FC and 7 over Whitestone. In the Fourth, Grantie City managed to clear by 6 over Wonham Central.

The Cup Lowdown
CSA Cup Final: Winton Market SC 3-1 Astra Royal SC
Fire Cup Final: West Baronies SC 2-0 Tyrellia City
Granite Cup Final: West Baronies SC 4-1 Cornerian
Casari Shield: Tyrellia City 2-0 Winton Market SC

The Reorganization
Until now, the 48 Team Casari Professional Leauge was a seperate entity what has existed for sixteen years, restricting the flow of stronger, smaller, professional teams into the CPL out of the semi-pro and amateur National Leauges. Starting next year, the Casari Soccer Authority is restructuring Casaran soccer into levels to better provide a flow of talent.

1: Casari Division 1 (16 teams)
2: Casari Division 2 (16 teams)
3: Casari Division 3 (16 teams)
4: Casari Division 4 (16 teams)
5: National League (18 teams)
6: Northern League, Southern League (18 teams)
7: Colonial League, Mountain League, West Coast League, East Coast League (18 teams)
8: Regional Leagues
9: Barony Leagues
10: County Leagues
11: City Leagues
12: Local Leagues

With this complete, next year's league competitions feature a Fourth Division with entirely new teams to the top levels of Casaran Soccer, and hopefully, more interest among Casari.

Great Alexandria make offer for Tribuana

Today Great Alexandria has become the first club in the MFL to make an official move for Tribuana according to coach Niles Thomas and club president Yosi Gubal. While they would not disclose exactly how much the offer was it was believed to be in the range of 10 million bobs (4,347,836 USD). Many were suprised that Great Alexandria the MFL league winners from the past two years would be so anxious to get a new striker espiecially with Clyde Misterson waiting in the wing. But with their changed formation to a 3-4-3 this year and the ability of Yonatan Mitayel to play midfield this might not change much at all. Niles Thomas said, "Great Alexandria has never missed on an oppurtunity to help improve its squad. If we were to stop improving now then we would start going down in the standings and in the rankings." Now every other club is anxious to get their bids down to make sure that Great Alexandria does not complete the swoop.

Dear Great Alexandrians,

Thank you for kind offer of gazillions of bananas sterling to play for your esteemed FC. Only thing I wondering about, is, what you want me to do? Besides play footie, I mean. ‘Cause me and Thingloomy (she assistant coach of futsal team) were talking about it and we can’t see what you want to pay me seven and a half million BS for to play footie. So if you can be more specific about what I’d have to do for money-- like, who I have to kill, or whatever-- that would help me make decision.

Thanks, and sincerely yours,

Tribuana

Dear Tribuana,
Yes we are offering you 7 million banana sterling to play just footie and score a lot of goals. If you do not score a lot of goals then we sell you to another team for hopefully even more money. If you want to do something else like help out cleaning or sewing jerseys it would be appreciated but not required. We also would like you to join the Milchama military but that is also not required.

Great Alexandria Club President,
Yosi Gubal

Coverage of both I and II leagues to be broadcast to an apathetic public

With the first season of NMS football to be sent to the world in general about to begin, I league football has never looked better. Defending champs St. James FC have put themselves in a solid position to repeat with a revamped defense, but both EF Chateauguay and the War Eagles are in the hunt, the former with a top-notch midfield backed by new keeper Clarence Cotray, the latter with their usual offensive dominance. Farther down the charts, the Patriotes are struggling to return to their usual position on the top, while recently promoted NM East are out to seize control of the New Montreal football scene.

In II, Laval seems poised to return to I with a return to their old 4-3-3 after a disappointing season under Clark Manseur's 4-4-2. Sorel, displaced by the current war, will play their games at Beaulier Field in Acadie - expect a dropoff, especially when Acadie comes calling early on in the season before Sorel has a chance to establish themselves.

Here's a complete list of the teams:

League I

Repentigny War Eagles

Hyper League Season 3


After what seems like an unusually long break the third season of the Hyper League is underway and it’s perhaps no surprise to see big spending champions Hypocrium City leading the way at this early stage.

Under new Vilitan coach Christian Dogbe the champions have won five of their opening six games and new signings Columbo and Keda look to be settling in nicely.

Surprisingly it is FC Pydna who provide the closest challengers. Pydna, who finished one place above the relegation zone last season are the only undefeated side after six matches and even inflicted a shock home defeat on Hypocrium City.

New Partizan Drissa coach Matthias DiMarco was made the bookies favourite to be the first manager sacked after his first match in charge, a pre-season friendly against Ugiata Uglies of Kaze Progressa, ended in defeat. But 11 points from the first six games has answered the critics.

It hasn't been the easiest of starts for the traditional title contenders. Pylos Reavers have made a slow start by their standards, losing 2 of their opening 3 games, but are only 3 points off the lead while last season’s Cup winners FC Hypocrium are a further 3 points off the pace.

Kester Town had been one of the success stories of recent seasons but a difficult pre-season in which they lost their star player and their coach seems to have taken its toll as Kester are currently in the drop zone.

Of the promoted clubs Sarrain City have made by far the best start and currently sit in 8th place. But the gulf between the Hyper League and H - 2 has been further highlighted by the performances of the remaining promoted sides. Linsk Mariners and Dornburg FC are 15th and 16th respectivly and have not managed a single win between them.

As the third season of the Apex League passes the halfway stage, the scrap for supremacy is getting more and more intense. Keeping their noses in front are Sukatra Tigers, spearheaded by Cynfor Gwyns and Krytenian striker Morgam Bartrum. Their stern defence has stood firm throughout, with the Tigers losing just two matches so far.

Following close behind are Gabalfa Rovers, who are enjoying their best season for some time, although not as much as third-placed Grappenhall. Like Sukatra, they have only lost twice so far (although they are drawing a lot of their games), and are sitting just four points behind the leaders. Their supporters were further delighted by the club announcing the signing of Sarzonian international forward Roy Spencer - things are finally starting to look up for the Red Warriors.

Reigning champions Akani Sands are determined not to give up their crown without a fight, and currently boast the league's best scoring record. Gabalfa City find themselves equal on points, with Butetown Dragons just two points behind. Like Grappenhall, the Dragons have also pulled off something of a transfer coup, snapping up talented Nedalian striker Mattan on a free transfer after the Druidan League went tits up.

However, things are just going from bad to worse for hapless Maindy - nine goals scored, forty-two conceded, and just one victory means that the Bombers are already looking doomed to relegation. Things are only slightly less bleak for the Old Maxwellians, who temselves are seven points from safety. Currently occupying the third relegation spot are Emcorn, who have found themselves on the receiving end of some real drubbings lately and have been hit by the departure of international winger Aaron Brown to Rumnasih Rangers.

Down in the 2nd Division, Girimukti Subarnas have opened up a very comfortable lead at the top of the table. Eight points behind them are Llanedalia, who lead a chasing pack of three clubs hoping to secure promotion. One such club is Tamrida, whose hopes of bouncing straight back up are looking good. The third chasing club are Fiilghud Town, who are finally looking as though they have got over their playoff disappointment two years ago.

The relegation battle is looking a lot tighter, with five of the bottom six teams separated by just two points.

The 93rd season of the LFP began today, with over 14 million fans in attendance and television ratings of 594 million. Tonight, in our report, we review last year's standings in both the Divizione Primera and Divizione Secunda and then show you today's season-opening exhibition action.


Divizione Primera, 2004/05 review

The senior circuit had a full schedule as defending league champs NG Sapuntoli battled to show they could repeat this year with increased talent on that club's starting eleven. Sportiva Fentomeria, which earned 87 points and finished second on the DP table (ten behind Sapuntoli), is this season looking to regain its crown as the top team in Pacitalian domestic football. Here are the results from a couple of the premiere matchups.

Divizione Primera, This Season

First-Day Prelim/Exhibition Matches

NG Sapuntoli 3, AR Lucifora 1
It was no surprise to see the Black Shirts win against the Red Arrows, but the scale of the defeat was. Lucifora's red-and-whites finished seventh on the table last year and improved their depth on the starting eleven, but couldn't convert opportunities and fell to Neraguamo.

CM Algubina 1, Sportiva Fentomeria 1
Algubina's club was just promoted from the DS, and showed its talent big time, limiting perennial powerhouse Fentomeria to one goal as the two teams played to a draw. Look for more surprising results during the league stage from this upstart promote.

Casari Professional League Special
The First Third

It seems like the season had just started, and already a full third of the Casaran Soccer Season is gone and in the past. While the teams go through their 2 weeks off, we're going to look back on the last 10 weeks of soccer and see who's making noise in the Leauges, as well as the Fire Cup.

The First Division
Team GP W D L GF GA GD PTS
Tyrellia City 10 7 2 1 20 10 10 23
FC Tica 10 7 2 1 22 13 9 23

Appleby FC 10 2 2 6 7 15 -8 8
United Arcadian 10 1 3 6 7 12 -5 6

Just like at the end of last year, Tyrellia City remains perched on top of the First Division standings after moving across ground from the now-Casari National Stadium to the newly constructed Four Towers Stadium, on the former site of Fort Tyrell. Following them are FC Tica and Leyton FC, who matched their record of 7-2-1 for 23 pts. Behind them sits Queenstown and last year's second place finishers West Baronies SC. The shock this year is the total inability for Tyrellian International to do anything, who had won the league 4 of the past 5 years. They've dropped all the way back to 12th, one ahead of last year's 4th place Winton Market. On the other hand, Leyton, Tica, and Queenstown were all middle of the pack last year. However, major swings are possible with 20 games left.

The Second Division
Team GP W T L GF GA GD PTS
Fenstrom FC 10 7 2 1 22 6 16 23
Ayuma FC 10 6 3 1 18 6 12 21

Cava FC 10 2 1 7 3 17 -14 7
Sanjuku United 10 0 3 7 9 21 -12 3

The Second Division is the typical mishmash of teams on their way up and on their way back. Current leaders Fenstrom were last in the Second Division last year and only saved from Relegation due to league restructuring. He's being chased by the top three in last year's Third Division, Ayuma, Whitestone, and Longford River, which are clearly a group of teams on the rise. The top teams to remain in the Second Division after restructuring are doing well. Last year's #6 Remoro 44 and #7 Astra Royal are following the trio of promoted teams, while last year's #5 Fenstrom-Riverside struggles, managing only one win.

The Third this year features the bottom of last year's Professional League, with the bottom 4 from the Third League and all of the Fourth. 4th place finisher in the Fourth Division Sanaux leads 2nd place finisher Wonham Central, with last year's Fourth Champion also struggling with a 2-4-4 record.

The Granite Cup

This year, the Granite Cup was reduced to a non-professional league competition, featuring the top eight from last years National Leauge and the top four from the Northern and Southern Leauges. As of now, the schedule is being worked out, but we do know the teams that will be involved:
Red Tigers ASC
Shelby Rovers
Cambridge College SC
Fira United SC
Raving Loony FC
Heierson FC
Tyrellia Docks FC
Roseton FC
Tyrellia Stars SC
Winton NSC
Cambridge City FC
Ayuma United
New Republic SC
Remoro Southend
Granite Falls FC
Arcadia United FC

Transfer Market

Lastly, we get to the transfer market. In the first year of international transfers allowed in the CPL, 10 teams have declared funds to be used on the international market, many without understanding the going rate on internationals. Here is how much they want to spend and what we expect they will want to use them for:
(in USD)
Tyrellia City : 9,600,000 : Center Mid/Defending Mid
West Baronies SC : 7,400,000 : Wingers
Tyrellian International : 14,000,000 : All Forwards
Winton Market SC : 4,300,000 : Foreward
Shelby FC : 2,000,000 : Outside Mid
Brighton Hill FC : 1,700,000 : Goalkeeper
Inslow FC : 1,300,000 : Center Back
Queenstown FC : 2,100,000 : Center Mid
Leyton FC : 1,600,000 : Left Wing
Cornerian : 1,400,000 : Center Back

Also, several players have declared their intent to play overseas, including upper class national team players. Here, we list who wants out and their current contracts:
Name-Age-Pos- Team- Contract(in USD)- Comments
Calvin Eskan-24-OM- Granite City FC- 2,400,000/3 years (nat team) - Skilled Midfielder, trying to find challenges/experience behind Casaran Football. Nominated to national team at age 20.
Alex Pilot-35-F- Leyton FC- 3,200,000/1 year (fmr nat team) - very experienced striker and 2nd highest scoring player in CPL history, transferred off national team but with no record of injury, possible core player for up and coming team
Greg Ruhlman-33-F- Tyrellian International- 8,000,000/2 years (fmr nat team) - Has had issues with former teams but capable of solid performance week in and out, has issues with partying during season
Salvidore Rooney-28-GK- FC Tica- 14,000,000/3 years (nat team) - best goaltender in CPL and starting goaltender for all Casari International matches, unhappy with supporting cast at Tica
Chris Novena-29-OB- FC Fairford- 6,000,000/1 year (nat team) - unhappy at Fairford, but willing to adapt style to meet team demands
Wes Czekseri-25-OM- Leyton FC- 4,000,000/2 years (nat team) - new to national team, good on wing play and eager to get out of Casari, occasional clashes with coach and management due to team style
Richard Wilkinson-22-CB- Remoro 44- 3,500,000/1 year - being put up to raise funds to get domestic players, solid all around player, nothing overly exceptional now, but young and can be developed into quality player
Will Epsin-23-GK- Fenstrom FC- 9,000,000/2 years - Fenstrom currently has more goaltenders than it needs, shows lots of natural talent but needs to grow and gain experience under coaches who can teach goaltenders well
Pedro Romi-29-M- Inslow FC- 15,000,000/3 years (fmr nat team) - Tired of rough play in CPL, looking to move overseas for experience in other systems and regain place on national team

With the Transfer window open for the second third of the year and this being the first year outside players have been allowed to play in the CPL, the current level of interest is expected to be low, with few, if any, players going out or coming in to play.

With that, finally, the report on the first third of the CPL season is dead and gone. We'll be back in 12 weeks when the championship pictures are much more clear.

Bedistan Premier League, 2083 season

Though Mike Davidson claims that he declined the position as assistant manager of the Sarzonian national team because he was ready for a bigger challenge, some are saying that the real reason is because he doesn't feel like he can do an adequate job. After only reaching the quarterfinals of World Cup 24 with the national team, Davidson's Bedistan Premier League club, Floral FC, has also been faltering recently. After being league champions just three years ago, Floral could manage only a mid-table position in season 2083, twenty-one points out of the lead. Floral's offense was also one of the weakest in the BPL, scoring only 46 goals in 38 matches; a superb defense that allowed only 43 was what enabled Floral to nevertheless finish eighth.

Instead, this season saw the rise of the other two members of the so-called "Big Three" - Rolestu and Alexandria. Luckily for those Alexandria-haters out there (there seem to be more every year), the 'pines fell one point short of the title, and they have Yuba United to thank for that, as Yuba shut out Alexandria 2-0 on the final matchday, enabling Rolestu to slip past after a 1-1 draw with Dennis. Last year's champions South Coast would end up settling for third place, followed by San Diego and Bucks Lake to round out the top five.

Unsurprisingly, Charleston and Jackson found themselves tumbling back to the First Division immediately after being promoted, Jackson doing so in spectacular fashion with a 6-8-24 record, finishing fifteen points from safety after managing to score just 28 goals all season. Somewhat less expected was the fact that Carter FC will be joining them, having dropped from 13th place last season to 19th this time around. The other newly-promoted team, High Mountain, did significantly better than expected, walking away with a very respectable 12th-place finish, just a single win behind former champs Floral.

Bedistan Football League

First Division

After last year's embarrassing relegation, Dionte City took no chances this time around. They secured the First Division title with a month to spare, ultimately beating second-placed Jamaica by seventeen points. Second through fifth were tightly packed, but it will be Ari FC joining Dionte and Jamaica in the Premier League for 2084. Ari will be playing in Bedistan's top flight for the first time ever.

Second Division

But if you thought Dionte were dominant, you haven't seen anything yet. Paradise Town's Second Division performance was the most successful seen in the Bedistani leagues in at least a decade - they allowed only 23 goals and lost just two matches in the entire season to pick up a well-deserved Second Division title. Sonoma City and Black Oasis will join them in the First Division next year.

Apex League Season 3 - Final Report

The kings of Bettian football are dead, long live the kings... or in this case, the Tigers.

The Apex League have new champions in the form of Maghrib's premier team Sukatra Tigers. Despite losing the international pairing of goalkeeper Safwan Sulaiman and defender Gwynoro Tyrno'r, Sukatra ended up with the best defence in the division as well as the joint-best attack. The Tigers sealed their title on matchday 33 with an emphatic 5-0 thrashing of Lorshill City, and ended the campaign with with a 6-point cushion over nearest challengers Butetown Dragons .

The Dragons were some way off the pace at the halfway stage, but after securing the services of Nedalian striker Mattan, they enjoyed a late surge which saw them win 9 out of their last 12 games, scoring 27 goals in the process. Mattan linked up well with Husni Teague and Eurys Ffagan in a three-man attack, to which he contributed 9 goals.

Coming in third were Gabalfa Rovers, who were well and truly back on track after the relative disaster of last season. Chicanadan international Jesse Suda was deadly throughout the season (apart from his one month layoff with a hamstring injury), and both he and Aroras stalwart Gethin Ward figured well in the Golden Boot placings.

Former champions Akani Sands finished in fourth, nine points off the pace. Although their attacking play was exemplary, with Under-21s star Gwrlais Devanallt causing plenty of headaches for his opponents with his 22 goals. However the Storm's defence was a little suspect, and they'll be looking to strengthen it significantly in the close season.

Below them, CPD Porthbalfa cemented their status as a top flight club with another impressive finish. Trailing in behind them were Gabalfa City, who will be disappointed with their performances this season, and Grappenhall, who will be happy overall but wishing they hadn't draw quite so many matches.

Down at the bottom of the table, Maindy had a miserable season throughout and were already relegated by matchday 30, after which they then proceeded to win three out of their remaining four matches. They look set to lose their star players Omar Whistler, Ziyad Farmer and Laurie LeClerc, with Whistler and Farmer both linked with Nedalian Premier League clubs.

Above them saw a gripping relegation struggle between Old Maxwellians, Treebrook Wanderers and Emcorn. On the last matchday, the three teams were separated by just three points, although Emcorn were as good as relegated by virtue of their woeful defence. Treebrook and Old Maxwellians both faced tough home games against Gabalfa City and Akani Sands. The news that Akani Sands had scored an early goal at Old Maxellians offered the Treebrook supporters some hope, as they needed their relegation buddies to lose to stand any chance of surviving. However, two late goals by City's Bader Tayarra sealed their fate.

Young Player of the Year

Nominations:

Gwrlais Devanallt (Akani Sands)
Had an exceptional season for both his club and the Under-21s, which has seen him win the Golden Boot as the division's top scorer.

Rayford Watson (Sukatra Tigers)
This young Vilitan was a lynchpin in the Tigers' success, showing good defensive play as well as chipping with a few goals of his own.

Eurys Ffagan (Butetown Dragons)
With Husni Teague and Mattan, Ffagan formed part of the fearsome three-man attack that saw the Dragons acheive their best-ever finish.

Oliver Stankovic (CPD Porthbalfa)
This young Liamist striker has played a major part in the Blue-Blacks' success, weighing in with 17 goals and setting up plenty of others.

Ali Ap Tegryn (Lorshill City)
An integral part of the successful Under-21 squad in their run to the semi-finals, and an authoritive figure in City's midifeld.

And the Young Player of the Year Award goes to... Gwrlais Devanallt.

Player of the Year

Marcus Baxter (Sukatra Tigers)
Last year's Player of the Year was a instrumental part of the Tigers' title-winning team.

Husni Teague (Butetown Dragons)
The centrepiece of the Dragons' front three whose 17 goal has helped him break into the Aroras squad for World Cup 25.

Bader Tayarra (Gabalfa City)
Last season's Golden Boot winner may have lost his crown this time, but this Nedalian has had a terrific season, including gaining his first cap for his country.

Evan Brooks (Gabalfa Rovers)
Has been consistantly superb for club and country, his set-pieces seem to be getting even deadlier, scoring ten times for his teams.

John Harding (Akani Sands)
As dangerous as always, defences found it difficult to deal with his height and power.

And the Player of the Year is... Evan Brooks.


Second Division

After the huge success of their gridiron squad, the town of Subarnas are celebrating another sporting triumph after their football team Girimukti Subarnas won the Second Division by five points. Also celebrating are Tamrida, who bounced straight back up after last season's relegation.

Making up the playoff spots were Fiilghud Town, Banastra Forest, Llanedalia and Racing Club Gabalfa.Fiilghud Town 2-0 Racing Club Gabalfa
Racing Club Gabalfa 1-3 Fiilghud Town
(Fiilghud Town win 5-1 on aggregate)

Banastra Forest 1-3 Llanedalia
Llanedalia 3-2 Banastra Forest
(Llanedalia win 6-3 on aggregate)And so the scene was set for the final at Stadiwm Bettia. Fiilghud Town had been at this stage before two years ago when they lost 3-1 to Old Maxwellians. However, they made no mistake this time as they defeated their northern Gwlad Teg opponents 1-0.

Down at the foot of the table, Mihangel's Old Boys and Roath Albion (who must be wondering what the hell has gone wrong after suffering their second consecutive relegation) were already down going into the last day.

Lorshill Engineers, Lower Sweeney and Fforest Hen still had everything to play for. The only team to gain kind of meaningful result here were Fforest Hen, who scrapped their way to a creditable 1-1 draw against champions Girimukti Subarnas to ensure their survival.

Third Division

Like their local rivals from Subarnas, Budiwati City are also the proud owners of a championship trophy, having secured their title on matchday 33 with an emphatic 5-1 thrashing of Llanbedistan. They finished nine points ahead of second-placed Southward Ho!, who clinched the runners-up spot by virtue of a superior goal difference over Grappenhall University, who joined Arorair, Ryoga Bay and Spiddaford Town in the playoffs.SEMI-FINALS

Fourth Division

The race for the Fourth Division title had been a two-horse race between Al-Sheemal Tamrida and Cockbill Green for virtually the entire season. In the end it was the team from Maghrib who came away with the title ahead of the Banastra rivals.

One of the playoff matchups saw an intriguing local derby between Chinterford Town and BAF Chinterford.SEMI-FINALS

FAB Cup

The FAB Cup (sponsored by Heatray Radiators - if its not Heatray, its a pile of junk), saw the First Divisio clubs enter at the 4th Round stage. Perhaps the most notable performances were by Second Division teams Girimukti Subarnas and Dynamo Dini who both progressed as far as the quarter-finals.

The final was a re-run of last year's final, as cup holders Akani Sands faced cup runners-up (and newly-crowned champions) Sukatra Tigers. Just like last year, the final went into extra-time after goals by Batrum and Devanallt saw the sides finish 1-1 after 90 minutes. However, the Storm retained their trophy thanks to a thundering John Harding header in the 115th minute.

Following the 10 matchdays, the top 4 four earners of points will compete for the Kericia Elite League Championship in a two round single-elimination tournament. The finals of the tournament will be held at Peterson Arena in Levine. KIFA will be the official sanctioning body of the Kericia Elite League.

PARKVILLE THREE IN LATE SWITCH

With the new season just days away, unfashionable Mercia Bromham have pulled off a masterstroke by signing a triumverate of Druidan internationals.

Centre-back Richard Milk, midfielder Trefor Talbot (a target for Patriots a couple of seasons ago) and striker Adrian Belmore have all signed up for an interesting season at the Midland.

KFA SEASON FIVE

Supercaleyfragisimpson…
Caledon, a team of few stars, shocked the Overleague by winning the title with two games to spare. Young Nedalian striker Tim James was also named Young Player Of The Year in a great season for the Walton Gardens side.

Adrian!
Mercia Bromham’s strong second place was helped not only by their newly-arrived Druidish contingent, but also Golden Boot Robin Spivey. Adrian Belmore was a major force, leading the league in assists and scoring fifteen goals himself on his way to becoming the first non-Krytenian to win the Player Of The Season award.

Colin Cops It
New Westleigh FC will be looking for a new manager as Colin Ulvæus was sacked after his team finished bottom. Foreign coaches are being considered, whilst Acienko Rimmer has already thrown his hat into the ring.

FOREIGNER REPORT
ARIDDIA
E Lel scored plenty (eleven), but was overshadowed by the fantastic form of Gordon N’Garama. Tim Wald was far from overshadowed at Ousevale, and after their recent defensive woes she was just the tonic.

AUDIOSLAVIA
Deciding to keep his hands off opposing midfielders this season, David Raven can’t believe his team have finished fourteenth, especially after his excellent defending. Defending, indeed, that took care of Kristen Dvorak’s threat…

BEDISTAN
Lauren Gunn joined the Casuals side mid-season, too late to stop the slide at New Coalfields.

BETTIA
Latif Hunter consistently repays the ArenaWest faithful with fantastic displays, this season being no exception. Jonathan McKinnon, meanwhile, has rebuilt his club career at Field Lane.

CAPRINE STATES
Finally, Notegia deliver, and Zhang Xiaopeng gets recognition for three fantastic seasons.

CHICANADA
Ousevale who? Jude Westington’s first season as a full-time Derrie was as good as his pervious one on loan.

COCKBILL STREET
A less than fruitfull season, alas, for struggling veteran Chris Adcook.

DRUIDA
The “Parkville Three” were the men at Mercia Bromham. Richard Milk, Trefor Talbot and Adrian Belmore all made significant contributions to the Midlanders’ fantastic season. And Ricky Mallon? He moved to Patriots to find more success, then sees them finish 13th and Ousevale fourth. Oops.

FMJPHOENIX
Eli Grimm helped Dereapolis to another excellent season.

HOCKEY CANADA
Once again, Ike Broflovski rated highly at Aigburth. More than could be said for Ellisham’s Tommy Hydulov, who struggled to fit in.

HYPOCRIA
Alex Liberda scored when the service came…if the service came. Michael Powell was a quiet man in

JERUSELEM
Abrams Shalom slotted well into his new surroundings at Dereapolis.

KAZE PROGRESSA
Yortvi Zair was a quiet, moderately-successful player in a quiet, moderately-successful team.

NEDALIA
What can be said about Tim James that hasn’t already. Only that it’s a pity he’ll never pull on an Aces jersey. Caledon seem quite pleased about him too!

NOVA BRITANNICUS
A quiet but consistent season for Martin Oxford at Avidia City – better than the rest of the back four, anyway…

OGLETHORPIA
Hip Replac had a torrid season as his defence collapsed in front of him

OLIVERRY
Gerard Laroche worked tirelessly in the AFC engine room, and was voted the club’s Player Of The Year.

SARZONIA
Mike Cole was waylaid for most of the season with a knee injury, playing just six games at the end of the campaign.

SQUORNSHELOUS
“Misfiring” was the best way of describing Franz Persson’s debut season.

SPRUITLAND
Simon Briers is beginning to really enjoy life at City Park, as AFC finished ninth. Balt Luyckx, meanwhile, has handed in a transfer request after another disappointing season.

STARBLAYDIA
Michalis Mitrofanis has requested to finish his career in his native land after a successful spell at the Reds.

TADJIKISTAN
Peter Bayerenov actually missed the target a fair few times this season, for once. Ousevale managed fourth, nevertheless.

A certain Druidan’s departure from Denbigh Park made for a far freer role for Mauro Capuano.

FORMER VTORBETIN
No nationality, but plenty of goals for Francesco Kmatz, who had the onerous task of filling in for Kevin Keda at Aigburth. Israel Dooney, meanwhile, had no such pressures at Linford, and was a diamond in so much manure.

ABFC Claims Regular Season Kericia Elite League Championship

Coming into the final matchday of the Elite League's first season, the Levine Seagulls held a one point lead over Anderson Bay FC, the only team still in contention to win. ABFC only managed a 2-2 draw with bottom-feeder Heffron, meaning Levine needed only a draw against 5th place Northport to win the title outright. FC Northport found the will to play and stunningly crushed the Seagulls' hopes 2-0. Interestingly enough, The top two teams had an equal record of 5-3-2. The tiebreaker in that situation is overall goal differential, which, again, was tied. The next tiebreaker, goals scored, finally broke the first place tie, giving the edge to Anderson Bay.

AET: 1-1 APK: Levine wins 2-0

In the first of two semifinals of the KEL Championship, FC Northport stunned heavily favored Anderson Bay 2-1 at NRG Stadium in Anderson Bay. The large crowd was silenced 44 minutes into the game as Northport took a 2 goal lead. ABFC would score in the waning minutes of the contest, however it was not enough, as FC Northport will attempt to win the first KEL championship. Anderson Bay outscored FC Northport 6-1 in the regular season yet they could not avoid the shocking loss.

In a close match of teams that tied earlier in the year, the Levine Seagulls edged the Burnaby Bears on penalties in a low scoring affair. Levine will face Northport, the team they lost to 2-0 in the final matchday of the season, for the KEL title in front of their home fans at Peterson Arena.

Kericia Elite League Championship Final

2 - Levine Seagulls - 1
4 - FC Northport - 4

The Kericia Elite League has their first champion: FC Northport. Levine had the advantage going into the match, with the better record plus a raucous crowd cheering them on their home field. This obviously did not faze the underdog FC Northport squad, who were up 2-1 at the half. Northport midfielder Mathew Behrendt scored twice and earned the Championship's Most Outstanding Player award.

Shortly after the finale of KEL season 1, the arrival of two new teams was announced. The Stockton Oilers and Gold Coast United will attempt to take the crown from FC Northport as the league grows from six to eight teams. With the new teams, the KEL Championship has been altered to include all eight teams. Also, the aggregate score of two games will decide the winner of the tournament as opposed to the single-elimination format used this year.

Giant Zucchini Premier League Restarts!

Yes, you have heard correctly. After years in the wilderness, the Giant Zucchini Football Association has finally reinstated the Giant Zucchini Premier League, with 8 all new teams vying for the coveted Premiership trophy. The preview, coming right up.

The Teams

Sino FC
Rumours say that manager Tay Liang Kee will be opting for a dynamic 3-5-2 system to accomodate the host of strikers he has. In doing so, he is putting great faith in his veteran keeper Xie Siak Kee, as this will leave him very exposed. If injuries take their toll on this team, it may leave them in the very midst of the relegation dog-fight. However, if they avoid exposing their lack of depth, their width on the pitch may stand them a chance against some of the better teams in this league.

Anglo FC
Experts call the 24 year old Bobby Laredo "the best keeper in Giant Zucchini today". And he can still mature. An all-rounded keeper, he looks to steal the limelight in Anglo FC's quest for the title. Also look out for aging strikers Montgomery (Prime Minister Montgomery's brother, no less) and Blythe in possibly their only chance to make an impact in Giant Zucchini football.

AC Romanic
Not a bad team, but average in comparison to the others around. Probably will not be relegated, but I do not see them challenging for the title this year. Also possibly Tommaso Braschi's only hope to make any sort of impact in Giant Zucchini. They will probably be looking out for a new centre back any time soon.

FC Spartak Vostochno
Manager Dovid Yekhanurov has assembled a solid all-round team. Keeper Stalin is dependable enough, Glinka is quality down the left wing, the young Akayev brothers are quick with a good touch, and have the potential to grow into true stars when they reach their peak. The only grouse is the slightly makeshift defence, but otherwise, look out for this team in the top half of the table.

Deutsch SV
19 year old Günter Herschel has been thrown into the deep end as he is given the gargantuan task to protect the Deutsch's goal. Fortunately for him, to the rescue is a flat-back 4 that looks promisingly solid. Also, Herschel himself looks quite promising. Also look out for Johann Rilke, the 17 year old striker, as both these younglings look to establish themselves in an otherwise aging team.

Nordic IF
Kimi Adolf has employed a rather conservative 4-5-1, especially in comparison to the other teams in the league. However, their style of play should see attacking midfielder Jan Borg get some goals in cleaning up from Jami Waldner. If their different approach to the Zucchini game works well, it may tone down the other teams' free flowing attacking game, which the Zucchinis are famous for, next season. However, if it does not, it will be a difficult season for Nordic.

Iberia CF
Don't expect this team to let in many goals. Iberia manager Ramón DeVicenzo has put in place a stringent 5-3-2 formation, and has the privilege of 3 top class keepers to choose from. However, look for the two young speedy wingbacks Corretja and Gimeno to start counterattacks. They have a solid defensive team, but DeVicenzo must manage the rotation of their 3 keepers impeccably.

Gallo FC
Marcel Dessalines is another manager who has some keeper juggling to do. In this situation, it is between François Wenger and of all people Marcel's son, Joseph Dessalines. If anyone is losing this war it is Wenger, but do not underestimate the team Dessalines has put together. Look out especially for Armand Boyer, at the tip of the midfield diamond.

Ligue Oliverrienne de Soccer 2013 report

It's under its new French name that the LOS strarted its new season. 3 teams were to check: Oliver City FC, Perpignant FC and West Rubbermade FC. Here are the reports:

1ere Division

Division 1 saw, for the first time of its young history, a draw at the first place. But, Perpignant FC won, because of the GF/GA Difference. Here is the final standings:

Pos Team P W D L GF GA GD Pts
1 Perpignant FC 26 15 6 5 44 23 21 51
2 Oliver City FC 26 15 6 5 49 29 20 51

13 Ennemy City East FC 26 7 5 14 28 40 -12 26
14 Marsh Township 26 3 8 15 19 43 -24 17

So, to summarize, Perpignant FC and Oliver City FC were battling for first place since last week of the season. There were 2 other positioning fights: one for the 5th place and one for the 9th place, won respectively by West Rubbermade FC and Laval's City FC. The 2 relegated teams weren't even in the race this year, especially Marsh Township. So, they'll be relegated in 2e Division for sure.

Foreigner Report

Marligantis
Iimg Ga'rr still was the defender to check this year. He's done a good job, having adjusted to Oliverrian style of play rapidly. But, the record he's done this year was the number of guys he injured: 21. Nearly 1 a game. This gave him the nickname of "Garr le killer", which means "Look the killer" in Oliverrian dialect. Anyway, Oliver City FC looks forward with him.

Oaker
Finally, the 2-match test player was a complete part of his team. Raven Oaker, the player with no age, did a pretty good job this year. Sure, he had to adjust himself to the Oliverrian style of play, but, after 4 matches, everybody in the team accepted him in the group pretty easily. The sad part: Laval's City suffered in the first 2 matches, losing because Oaker wasn't yet adjusted to Oliverrian gameplay

2e Division

Division 2 was completely another story as there weren't any significant battles. The teams competing were doing a good job this year. Anyway, let's see what happened:

Pos Team P W D L GF GA GD Pts
1 Saint-Francois 18 10 3 5 30 23 7 33
2 Beardtown 18 8 7 3 26 21 5 31

9 Dandy 18 6 1 11 25 31 -6 19
10 Pouliville 18 2 10 6 17 24 -7 16


Saint-Francois was expected to promote this year. Seems they will. Beardtown did cause a surprise by finishing 2nd. Will they be able to be good in Division 1, that is the question. Completely to the bottom, Pouliville finishes last. Nova Rema, after a very deceiving season last year, finishes 7th. Let's hope they can continue this way...

BFA terminates Pedrian deal

GRACEVILLE -- The Bedistan Football Association has announced that Pedrian clubs will no longer be allowed to participate in its competitions. This announcement comes on the coattails of Emperor Pedro IV's decision to withdraw his nation from World Cup 25.

"The Emperor's demands to have the Pedrian clubs artificially boosted into higher divisions were unreasonable," said BFA president Sam Bacon, "so we decided to show him that we can't be pushed around. Besides, what can he do? Declare war on the Association? Good luck with that."

Reportedly, lower clubs in the Bedistan Football League will be promoted as necessary to fill higher divisions. It is expected that replacement clubs will be drawn from among Bedistan's current non-league teams, but the BFA has not yet confirmed this.

No Paine, No Gain

Bertrand Paine could not be handed a better debut. After taking over the reins from James Gorton who left for the National Team, Anglo FC posted an amazing 3-1 win over top of the table FC Spartak Vostochno, dealing them their first loss of the season, while leaving Vostochno manager Dovid Yekhanurov to rue first not accepting the National Team's offer, and not replacing his deputy, Lev Andropov, who left for the National Under-21s.

Paine's first match in charge after stepping up from assistant manager to head coach had a dream start, David Montgomery putting the home team up straight from the kickoff, and doubled their lead with another cool finish in the 12th minute. Vostochno was visibly shaken, never having gone behind in a Premiership match before, and they struggled to find their usual possession and hypnotic passing rhythm that characterised their last few wins. Nevil Greenwood added a third for Anglo FC before the break to put Anglo 3 clear of Vostochno.

Benno Rimsky-Korsakov pulled one back for Vostochno 13 minutes into the second half with a fierce precise shot past Bobby Laredo, and Peter Lee Albom, putting in a phenomenal game in the centre due to injuries to Humphrey McVay and David Hess, was sent off for a professional foul. However, the second half could do nothing to dent the brilliant first half showing, and this result pushes Anglo to the top of the Premiership table over Spartak Vostochno. A successful start to the Paine era.

Kericia Elite League: Season 2

The second season of the Kericia Elite League can be summed up with one word: parity. The three teams at the top all had seven wins, but the Heffron Golden Eagles won the regular season title with 24 points. The Golden Eagles won after a dismal fifth-place result last season. The shocker of the KEL season would have to be the first-year teams' success. Gold Coast United went through the first six matches undefeated before losing to fellow rookies from the Stockton Oilers. The Oilers would finish a close second to Heffron, while GCU only managed to place fifth. Meanwhile, defending champs FC Northport quietly earned a third place position.

With the addition of two new teams, every team had a shot going into the Kericia Elite League Championship. In the first round, Burnaby stunned #1 seed Heffron 3-2 and 1-0, knocking out the favorites to win. Another first round matchup pitted FC Northport against Levine in a rematch of last year's final. Northport once again walked over the Seagulls in their home field, this time 3 goals to 1.

The Division I teams debued this round to mix results. As 6 Division 1 teams were elinimated. Although some of those came to other premiership teams that is still a large number. The most shocking were the Norman Spartans and the Legions of Hope. Both are looking to be top 5 teams this year in the MFL but if they cannot even beat in the case of the Norman Spartans 3rd division competition how can they expect to challenge for the title. The big 3 teams Chaialim, Desert Foxes and Great Alexandria all advanced.

A story of the tournament came out as Megan Illavsky FC a mid-table 3rd division club beat the Kitchen Fires and got to Octofinals. 3 more Division 1 teams were elinimated. The biggest upset this round was FC Doom beating last year's semi finalists Cadurim Athletic. This was a big blow to Cadurim Athletic who were hoping to do better than a 3rd round loss but Bat Nackson could not make the last penalty kick. They are hoping for better in the MFL.
The big 3 again advanced through in order knocking a few division 1 teams in the process.

The shocker round. Both Great Alexandria and Chaialim lost to mid-table Division 1 teams leaving the Desert Foxes as the only one of the big 3 left. Also the runs of Megan Illavsky FC, Armadas (they upset Legions of Hope) and FC Doom all ended. The only non Division 1 team left was the Warring Clans who beat Megan Illavsky FC. The two favorites coming out of this round was the Desert Foxes and Milchama Warriors.

Well to much for the two favorites who had to face each other this round. The Foxes came out on top routing their first leg at home as Kelly Mihm scored two goals off the subs bench to help them win 4-2. Fighters United got a last gasp goal from Bobby Connon led them thru to the semi-finals. In the second matchup the Pillaging Spies dominated the second match as Ronny Kettelbus became a cult hero getting a hattrick for the Spies. And in the final matchup that we are reporting on Striker Colin Maller got a goal in the 77th minute to advance the Fireballs over the Clans.

Semi Finals:
Desert Foxes v Fighters United SC Leg 1 4-1 Foxes Leg 2 2-2 Foxes adv
Pillaging Spies v Rising Fireballs Leg 1 3-2 Spies Leg 2 4-1 Fireballs adv

The now clean Clyde Misterson led the Desert Foxes strait into the final scoring 4 goals in this matchup against Fighters United including both of the goals in the second leg. Another great contributor was Doni Kunalin who scored the 3rd goal of the 1st leg match and got 3 assists in the matchup overall. Marcos Ollins was the hero for the Fireballs as he saved 8 shots that second leg and allowed Collin Maller to continue his hot streak as he scored two more goals to put the Rising Fireballs in the final.

Finals: Game 1: 3-2 Foxes

Two second half goals from Clyde Misterson put the Desert Foxes in the driver's seat in the series with this 3-2 win. The Foxes dominated the whole game and there were times when it looked like it would end 5-2 but Marcos Ollins showed again why he is one of the best keepers in Milchama keeping the Fireballs in the game but he was not enough to stop the pressure.

Game 2: 4-2 Fireballs

The offense came alive for the Fireballs as Thomas Dennis Moore and Collin Maller scored two goals each for a 4-2 win. The midfield for the Fireballs was dominate as they got 62% of the possession in the game. Only two great solo runs from the Foxes, one from Misterson and one from Bobby Martin kept the Foxes from being shut out.

Game 3: 3-1 Foxes

The decider went all to Clyde Misterson. Not only did he get a hattrick but his play seemed to almost single-handedly inspire the Desert Foxes on to victory. Thomas Dennis Moore got a nice header from a corner but after that he and his partner Collin Maller were completely shut down. The Desert Foxes after being robbed (depending of who you ask) in last year's final win without controversy this year.

1929 Final Report

Chicanada Football Union

Lets start with the official announcement that the CFU will add a fourth division in 1931 - thus making eight total divisions of CFA play. This will allow the bye system out of the FA Cup but expand the Premiership to 18 teams. The Leagues Cup will stay as it is.

Promotion makes all the difference this season, as Astur City lays siege to the First Division and takes home the title. Sure the won with a low points total over a just as dominant Rangers and Athletics squad, but the new City Champions like taking trophies home with them. Reigning champs FFCU pulled a Real and finished 13th...a bad sign for City A next season?

Money made its way to the second division, as Stamford and SH joined the loveable but flat-playing Palace in the relegation zone.

Carlsberg 2 Cavalier 0
Rovers 1 Provincetown City 2

Carlsberg 0 Provincetown City 3 CITY wins promotion

All these City clubs doing well. Now it's City D, as Douala's kid brothers make a jump to the Second Division by ecking out a win over Sfaxen to win the division title.

LPSD makes its last stand in the CFU, as they head to Liga 3 next season. Word is the the Loundon squad will try to petition into the Fourth Division in 1931 but nothing confirmed yet.

Mission...did not win. Mission actually fell to midtable for the first time since 1923 - a long span for the Patriots. Instead, another Cana club takes it, as the Western Stars add to their Finals appearance in the City Championships (a 6-1 pounding by City A didn't make things nice) take home their first league title in many a year with a rather commanding performance over Player Of The Year Olani Pjan and the Strike from Star Point.

AS Cana wasn't as lucky, as they lost for the first time in three appearances in the Promotional finals and head down with Atens and Eastentown.

The Tigers from Hull took full advantage of the FA Cup Championship and ran all over the Liga 1 field, winning the title with four games to spare over a plucky Narobi squad finally returning to the top flight. Provincetown was the one that ended Cana's reign in Liga A in the Playoff Finals.

AT the end of the table the Camelbacks from Suda joined Livingston in going down a flight. The Kodiaks fromt he North could not figure out how to stay up and lost in the Liga 1 Promotional Finals.

Jaxx U has pride and plenty of hardware for their history, so they made certain that their first appearance in the third division was one year long, as they easily outmanned all and won the league title with four games to spare. Seaport finally wins promotion after last year's heartbreaker in the playoffs. Hornchurch made a beliver out of all after they rallied to make their way to the top flight.

The Planx of Aston will be dropping to the new Liga 3 next season after a mixed bag of disluck screwed them out of passing Bainsfiel o stay up.

Premiership

Astur City won itself a double thanks to the weird play by the teams above it. City finished third in the opening session and was only third best in the final 10 matches but finished well ahead of Ibrox and Mission (top tems in the final round) to start as well as Finnen Central Coast (opening round leaders) in the finals to take how a double.

Liga Women

Nothing much to report. The Lady Pride continued to be the best of the Womens Leagues while the Swans continued to suffer without Irene Miller (who must like playing for Douala City more right now) as they plunge back to Liga 1. Mission and Finnen won promotion.

It was Hennessy, however, that won the Heritage Cup, giving the Northern side a trophy of their own as Esten looked too worn down in their semifinal series to do much to stop them.

Ace Goes West
Acienko Rimmer has been named as the new manager of New Westleigh. He follows on from Colin Ulvæus, who was sacked at the end of last season.

Champions Out In Front


Perhaps money can buy success. It’s certainly done reigning H-League champions Hypocrium City no harm. The Imperials invested heavily in the summer, bringing in new players and a new coach, and after a draw in the Hypocrium derby City sit comfortably at the top, 7 points clear of their nearest rivals albeit having played a game more. Although a recent shock defeat to bottom side Dornburg has given the chasing pack hope.

Surprisingly the closest challenges to Hypocrium City’s crown are Thraxus Rangers, the side from the nation’s main industrial city. The city has never really been considered a football hotbed and notably missed out when the HFA were allocating World Cup qualifying matches but the club side is flying high thanks largely to the division’s best defensive record.

Perennial title challenges Pylos Reavers are trailing in their rivals wake, 8 points behind the leaders. Coach Alex Santoro has seemingly given up the title chase and rested several first team players for the recent trip to Drissa to keep them fully fit for action in the AO Champions League. Santoro has also expressed an interest in bringing Partizan’s Hypocrian international attacker Ashley Marshall to the club.

At the other end of the table Dornburg FC remain bottom despite an excellent win over Hypocrium City. Dornburg have been bottom all season and are likely to stay there after dropping 7 points from safety with games rapidly running out.

Aspern FC’s run of 11 games without a win has dropped them into the relegation zone and prompted the club to change managers. Former national coach and Partizan Drissa manager Michael De Winter is the new man in charge.

Linsk Mariners are the third team in the drop zone but, like Aspern, they are just a single point away from safety.

The Schiavone Scribe
MONARCHS TAKE HOME FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP

Kingsbury Monarchs, the premier club in Schiavonia's capital city, have overcome fifteen other teams representing the country's major cities to become the first ever SchiaveOne champions.

Favourites Social Club de Sedgefield, quite fittingly from the nation's second city, came second, two points behind the eventual champions, after a three way fight for the title with Threlo Rovers, who finished behind the Socials only on goal difference.

At the bottom, Heartellpool United joined relegation favourites Mirkwell and Chea Greens in the bottom three. They'll be tumbling into the new SchiavTwo, which will start up next season, while the three best teams in the opinion of the SFF (Tapout Harum, Bishopscastle Warriors and Airesvale Zephyr) will replace them in SchiavOne.

The final table was as follows.

With this being our first ever season, there's not really much else to give you other than the final league table. Our players are pretty anonymous at this stage, there's no foreigners in our league. There's only one division!

All the same, we might as well throw a few bits and pieces in.

Bedistan Premier League, 2084 and 2085

2084

2084 saw perhaps the unlikeliest of clubs manage to walk away with the Bedistan Premier League title, as relatively low-key Bucks Lake Athletic successfully edged out South Coast United by a point to snag their first ever title. Meanwhile, it looked like the reign of the "Big Three" might finally have been drawing to a close - while Alexandria still finished third, Rolestu and Floral found themselves significantly adrift in seventh and eighth places respectively.

Meanwhile, the three clubs relegated from the Premier League in '83 - Jackson, Charleston, and Carter - finished one-two-three in the First Division, so they all bounce right back up for Season 2085.

There was a bit of shaking up in the lower divisions due to the unconditional withdrawal of all Pedrian clubs from the Bedistani leagues, resulting in fewer relegations and more promotions than usual. But instead of non-league teams being promoted, as was expected, a flurry of new clubs from some of Bedistan's newest and largest western cities joined in the fray. Most of these were placed in the Conferences, though a few started out with non-league status. The best of the new teams was Caldwell United, with a fairly impressive 10-7-9 record in its first season, good enough for fifth place in Conference A.

2085

And then Bucks Lake slipped back into mid-table obscurity just as fast, if not faster, than it had risen. They trailed the champions by some 23 points at the end of the season, finishing eighth. And just who were the champions? A club that had been waiting for an excruciatingly long time to achieve that distinction. In their 45th professional season, the San Diego Iguanas, one of Bedistan's original twenty teams from 2014, finally won their first domestic title.

The battle for promotion from the First Division was intense; though Dionte had booked their place with two games to spare, four more clubs were vying for the remaining two slots going into the final week.

Yuba played in the very first game that final week. They faced Cornish FC at home, and both teams had everything on the line - Yuba fighting for promotion, Cornish needing a win combined with a loss for AC Crotts to avoid relegation. In the end, Yuba would eke out a 3-2 victory, simultaneously condemning Cornish to the Second Division and sending Yuba back up to the Premier League.

Dennis and Midway saw their games kick off at the same time, the former playing Sonoma City and the latter Cdredika, both away. Dennis needed a win to guarantee promotion; Midway needed a win combined with a Bears loss to take third place (if Dennis drew their match, Midway would have to win by eight). At halftime, things looked good for Midway supporters, as they led Cdredika 1-0 and Dennis was behind by that same score. But unfortunately for the Wolves, Dennis sent in the equalizer in the 52nd minute, and then the walls came tumbling down on them as Cdredika scored three goals in quick succession. Dennis would maintain the 1-1 draw and Midway would lose 1-3, leaving Forest Hill as the only team that could surge ahead of the Bears to take third.

Ariddians back on the 'market'

The Ariddian Football Association has confirmed that Ariddian players (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Ariddia%27s_football_team) will be available for transfers to foreign clubs as soon as the qualifying stages of World Cup 25 are over. Most Ariddians now play abroad, with only Fields, Kouassi, Bounthaiyavong, I and Lukeson still playing for clubs in the PDSRA.

"People abroad have now had the opportunity to see what our players are capable of," AFA President Anna Teals explained. "All things considered, they gave a solid group performance in the Cup, and some players performed exceptionally. Also," she added, sounding suspiciously capitalist, "no country's players are cheaper than Ariddia's."

Teals was referring to the unusual policies (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Domestic_football_in_Ariddia) (see §3 of the article) regulating transfers out of domestic clubs in Ariddia's moneyless society.

"Any transfers between one foreign club and another will have to be negotiated between those two clubs, of course," she specified, "and only once the player himself has given his or her approval."

Ariddians have expressed enjoyment at their stays in foreign clubs so far.

"We get to meet new people," E Lel, who plays for Dereapolis City in Krytenia, explained. "It's a very different mentality, rather difficult to get used to, but quite fascinating."

Xousa Dons The Trenchcoat

Keith Xousa: Ellisham Wanderers (Overleague) > Secklow City (Underleague One), free transfer

Keith Xousa, former Krytenian international, will be the most high-profile of the twenty-four managers of the new Underleague teams. Not only is he the most well-known face, he's also player-coaching the promotion favourites.

Meanwhile, the KLF has confirmed that there will be a three-up, three-down promotion/relegation between the two divisions.

Mitro Homeward Bound

Michalis Mitrofanis: Everton City Reds (Overleague) > Phraen Palace (Liga Omega, STB), free transfer

Former Starblaydi international Michalis Mitrofanis returns to his homeland to play out his twilight years in the Liga Omega. He'll be attempting to return the Palace back to the heights of the top flight.

KFA SEASON SIX

Tyfield Sings!
Notegia Rangers, quite possibly the least fashionable team in the Overleague, took a surprised division by storm, sealing the title in Week 37. Rangers, who had never before finished in the top four, eventually deposed outgoing champs Caledon Simpson by two points.

More Is Leston
Leston Town’s 114 points in the new Underleague could be a record that will stand for some time. They become the first Underleague One Champions, and gain a place in the Overleague Season Seven along with Aylesford and Noton United.

Snhp Snipped
Linford, the perennial bottom-feeders, were relegated in Week 30 this season, and have now parted company with Melmondian boss Snhp Xtfuinxm. Former Mercian international Alan Lubeck now takes the reins at Brecklands; he’ll be hoping for a swift return to the top flight.

KFA CUP
Another new look for the Cup; the 44 league sides now enter at R1, after several qualifying rounds. Round One saw New Westleigh eliminated by Mercia Bromham, while the Rangers beat the Reds. The biggest shock of the round, though, saw unfashionable St Peters FC defeat the Derries.

Only one real surprise in this round, as Underleague high-flyers Penniton Athletic get the better of AFC Avidia. Elsewhere, it’s a case of the status quo as Leston Town are left as the only other non-Overleague team in the competition.

AFC Avidia 1-2 Penniton Athletic
Ousevale Borough 3-0 Neathill Town
Blakeland Village 1-2 Ellisham Wanderers
Bletcham Devils 0-3 Leston Town
Bradwell Saints 1-3 Caledon Simpson
Foxchester Athletic 1-3 Casuals New Osteria
Notegia Rangers 2-0 Northern Star
Secklow City 0-2 Aigburth Athletic

Quarter Finals
Leston’s run continues unabashed as they eliminate Aigburth. Meanwhile, Caledon and Notegia meet in the tie of the round at Field Lane.

Casuals New Osteria 1-2 Ellisham Wanderers
Leston Town 1-0 Aigburth Athletic
Notegia Rangers 1-2 Caledon Simpson (aet: FT 1-1)
Penniton Athletic 1-3 Ousevale Borough (aet: FT 1-1)

Semi Finals
Everyone who predicted an Ousevale-Caledon final at this stage was sadly mistaken, as Leston Town became the first team from outside the Overleague to reach the final.

Ousevale Borough 0-2 Ellisham Wanderers (Oxley Park, Everton City)
Caledon Simpson 1-2 Leston Town (Mercia Stadium, Bromham)

Final (Davis Memorial Stadium, Everton City)

LESTON TOWN – 0
ELLISHAM WANDERERS – 5 (Hagen 31, Bergdolmo 34, 63, 73, Jaffacake-Phillips 60)

A hammering brings the Cup to Ellisham as Leston’s Cinderella run was ended in spectacular style.

1930 Final Report

Chicanada Football Union

How many titles did the Reds snatch this year? Astur City had what is considered by many in the CFA as the best season on record as the NSCL-bound Reds repeated as CFU Champions (to go with other hardward forthcomming). They also had more breathing room, winning the title over Finnen and Rangers with three games to spare. Southampton and Charlton continued to make things interesting even though they continue to not get a trophy.

At the bottom end, two promted teams drag the Shockers down as Ashley is relegated for the first time in the clubs 67-year history. They join United South and Provincetown City in the Second Tier.

Cavalier wanted back in the top flight badly and succeeded, winning the Second Division with a game in hand to a very surprising Heartland Rovers squad that would pester everyone. Many have Rovers pegged as the next City A and could be the sleeper in the top flight next season. Teams recently relegated from the top flight won the right to try for promotion, with Stamford and Palace leading the Carlsberg clubs.

The Broncs from Southampton City suffered a horrible fate, as the club fell to the third division with last year's escapee Fulham and AC Loundon.

Carlsberg, a major sponsor for the CFA, was hoping it's Southampton or Middlesborough clubs would win promotion to the top flight (considering City S collapsed and County continues to be a mid-tier team) but it was not to be as the east clubs won their way to the promotional finals. Palace chose this time to fully recover and allow a Colombo-based team back into the top flight in one of the two leagues.

Back and forth, so they say, as Dallas and Ibrox continue their eternal limbo by re-winning promotion to the second flight. With all the teams guaranteed no relegation until the Fourth Division comes into play next year (with most money being placed on Cheifs Orleans, Bishop Saints and Hearts winning that lot), Xanthi FC had to settle with being the worst team in the CFA.

The only title Astur City didn't win, the Liga A title went to it's third different club in three years, as Douala finally clinched a return to the top. The club did it in grand style, winning by ten points over last year's champs and clinching the title with eight games to spare - resting players the only reason CWFC sorta made it close. Ajax Chi shocked all with it's third place title, picking up CFA Manager and Player of the Year honors in the process.

Two old clubs lost out automatically, as Verde and Saint Croix were sent down to Liga 1. They did take along NSFA qualifier Hull City, who lost in their first ever appearance in the promotional finals.

Clubs were desperate to return to the top flight after quick relegation, as the Palm from AS captured the Liga 1 title with relative ease and lots of space over a determined Northeast. AC Atens made the promotional group finals with Central Coast and Eastentown and Risa FC, who had hoped to emulate the success of Palace in their first appearance in the promotional round.

After getting some love and respect, Foster and Hornchurch fell down in Liga 1 play and head back to Liga 2. Jaxx United got a stay of execution by having the promotional finals at the Wolves Den and winning handidly.

Liga 2 had to readjust to loosing four teams this year, thanks to the new bottom-level Liga 3 comming into existence. The Kodiaks and Rockets were good enough to win promotion...but neither are expected to stay very long in Liga 1 due to their budget size. The Camelbacks and Cosmos joined Norde and the Mariners in the promotional finals to win a date in Jaxx...a date that did end badly, sadly for all.

After avoiding relegation last year, C'jaro and West fell to the bottom level, taking the last Conference Champions with them. Genoa played in the promotional finals, but they did not do so well and lost out on the Coastal Pearl Stadium.

The first year of Liga 3 started out as the Conference clubs would be expected to play - just well enough to advance. Aston led a return of sorts for the older clubs, as they and the Sun Devils won promotion with former up-and-down team North Cape Town. Loundon Peaks had planned on petitioning into CFU Fourth Division, but the surprise promotion means just some new teams to face off with. As for Town, they finally stabilized their economics enough to look like they can do some damage in Liga 2.

The only constant? Whitney remained the worst team of the CFA.

Lets continue the trend that Astur City wins everything. For they do. The Reds had no problem handling what some might say was weaker competition to make it to a final against a lackluster Stamford at the Astur City Grounds and held its own to gain it's third title of the year at that point. Their second being, of course, the CFU Championship and their first being the opening season Premiership. Would Astur be tired for the Leagues Cup? Not really.

Barclay Leagues Cup

Astur got another home final, as they headed over to the Depot Centre in Cana (about a 1/3 of a mile from City Arena) (yeah, Cana's big enough to hold ten clubs and their very own stadiums. Isn't your capital?) to become the first team to ever hold four titles, defeating major rival Southampton in the process.

The most dominant team of the Womens League struggled, as WFC Esten Lady Pride reliquished their hold of the Liga A title to a much-improved Hennessy squad. Swans U made it a short trip to the second tier, as they easily won the Liga 1 title.

The CFA made the decision that, if the NSFA Champions Leage and NSFA Cup were to happen like right after the current edition, Astur City and Douala would take automatic NSCL slots, with Finnen being the third team after winning over Cana West. Cana West and Finnen are officially pegged for the NSFA, with Stamford Bridge as the other team in should Chicanada improve enough in the rankings to have five squads.

WorldSport's Annual Domestic Soccer Review

Another long, boring, and tedious year of Casaran Domestic Football is over, with a nice variety of championships being handed out to everyone under the sun.

The First Division

The First Division proved to be exciting as ever this year, with a tight title fight until the end. However, the winners are not one of the usual suspects.

Pts W D L GF:GA GD
1. Shelby FC 56 15 11 4 42:22 20

15. Brooks FC 27 6 9 15 18:33 -15
16. Queenstown FC 26 3 17 10 24:36 -12

That's right, the evil anything-for-victory Karelans of Shelby Football Club earned their second First Division title and the first in 24 years. The power of Defense, along with 11 ties and only 4 losses, managed to hold off the brawling of Tyrellia City, the skillful flexability and attack of West Baronies, and the shock finishes and coin-flip chances of Inslow. While City and Baronies were able to fill the part of championship contenders, the other 2 in the hunt, Tyrellian International and Winton Market, failed horribly, Market falling back into the mid-table obscurity which they are so well known for and International's struggles from last season are more obvious. Odds are they're abandoning their home markets and looking abroad for talent to get back in the fight.

The Second Division

A much more traditional Second Division season ended with Ashford on top, with themselves, Astra Royal, Longford River, and Remoro in a great position to try and win their promotion matches against the underpowered sides on the bottom of the First.

Well, that's the long, long, long, long, long summary of this year's domestic league season. Congratulations to the victors, and here's hoping it's a while until we have to do this again.

FALE suspends league season
The FALE have confirmed that the 2139/40 league season has been suspended. This is their statement in full:

It is with great regret the Football Association wish to announce that in a meeting between our board of directors and the team managers and chairmen of the 28 football clubs in the league, that the Premier Division and Lower Division league season of 2139 and 2140 have been suspended, due to unconcilable differences between the FALE, the 28 club chairmen, and the Group of Six players' union (a union representing all u21- and full- internationals, as well as players in the top six clubs from both divisions).

We hope that the season is salvagable, and that we can get some play in. However, if by scheduled mid-season (start of WC26Q) these differences have not been solved, the board, the club managers and chairmen, and two representatives from the G6 will meet again to discuss the future stability of a Liverpool England football league.

Giant Zucchini Premier League Update

The first season of the all new Giant Zucchini Premier League has just ended, and not without its share of surprises. Gallo FC dominated the second half of the season after a first half dominated by Anglo FC and AC Romanic, and Romanic’s draw against Iberia meant that Gallo FC lifted the new Premiership Trophy for the first time. Sino FC, who spent most of the season stuck at the bottom of the table, staged a magnificent comeback with back-to-back wins against Iberia and Champions Gallo FC, sending Nordic IF out of the league after their loss to Anglo FC on the final day. A summary of the teams’ performances, coming up after the awards presentation.


The Awards
Golden Boot Award: Carl Hohenzollern (Deutsch SV) 11 goals in 13 matches
Golden Ball Award: Tommaso Braschi (AC Romanic)
Young Player Award: Armand Boyer (Gallo FC)
Manager of the Season: Antonio di Zoff (AC Romanic)

The Teams


Champions: Gallo FC – 28 Pts
Played 14, Won 9, Drew 1, Lost 4, Scored 31, Conceded 17, Goal Difference 14
Marcel Dessalines seems to have found the perfect balance with this team. An excellent record on their debut season sees them scoring the most, conceding the second least, and securing the best goal difference. Boasting the scoring prowess of both strikers Charles Poussin and Alain Vartan, Gallo also has midfield dynamo Armand Boyer to thank for about a quarter of the goals they scored. Meanwhile, both keepers Joseph Dessalines and François Wenger have been performing well at the back, recording 7 matches each and less than 10 goals conceded per keeper, as well as sharing a whopping 7 clean sheets between them. Worthy Champions indeed.

Top Scorers:
Charles Poussin – 10 goals in 14 matches
Alain Vartan – 8 in 10
Armand Boyer – 8 in 14


Runners-Up: AC Romanic – 26 Pts
Played 14, Won 7, Drew 5, Lost 2, Scored 24, Conceded 12, Goal Difference 12
This Tommaso Braschi-driven side has put the experience in the squad to good use this season, conceding a measly 12 goals while doubling that tally at the other end. However, a failure to win the last 3 matches of the season meant that it was going to be a disappointing end to an otherwise excellent season, exceeding many expectations by never dropping below 3rd throughout the season. However, doomsayers are bound to leap on the fact that both Braschi and keeper Antonio Veracini will be retiring before the new season starts, and that they will drop back to a mid-table place next season as originally expected. However, manager Antonio di Zoff will try his best to ensure that will not happen.

Top Scorers:
Tazio Simoni – 7 goals in 11 matches
Giuseppe Filipepi – 6 in 14
Arturo Bardi – 4 in 12


NSFA Cup Spot: Anglo FC – 24 Pts
Played 14, Won 7, Drew 3, Lost 4, Scored 30, Conceded 25, Goal Difference 5
James Gorton’s departure seemed to have left a jinx with his successor Bertrand Paine. After a 3-1 win against Spartak, Paine suffered 3 consecutive defeats, plunging them into the bottom half at the halfway point. However, a second half without any defeats meant that Anglo clawed their way back into a place in international competition. Nevertheless, both Bobby Laredo and David Montgomery were disappointing. Laredo started the season well, but his form started to wane towards the end despite conceding lesser goals. On the other hand, Montgomery never really took off, only hitting the net in 2 games, scoring 3 goals. But the problems don’t stop there. Next season, Paine has to contend with an aging team and many retirements, and will be looking to rebuild the team again. How successful he is remains to be seen in the seasons to come.

Top Scorers:
Ambrose Blythe – 9 goals in 13 matches
Malcolm MacFadyen – 8 in 11
Nevil Greenwood – 4 in 6


4th Place: Deutsch SV – 18 Pts
Played 14, Won 5, Drew 3, Lost 6, Scored 26, Conceded 26, Goal Difference 0
A pretty respectable finish for a team that spent most of the season in the bottom half of the table. A late surge pushed them from 2nd from last in the table to a decent mid-table finish, including a final day thriller against Sino FC. However, manager Georg Klinsmann has to take quick action to stop an impending crisis by bringing some youth into this severely aging team. However, on a brighter note, Deutsch will benefit from the maturing of Günter Herschel and Johann Rilke.

Top Scorers:
Carl Hohenzollern – 11 goals in 13 matches
Johann Rilke – 8 in 13
Hermann Reutter – 5 in 13


5th Place: FC Spartak Vostochno – 18 Pts
Played 14, Won 5, Drew 3, Lost 6, Scored 21, Conceded 26, Goal Difference -5
Manager Dovid Yekhanurov launched into this tirade on himself on the last day’s 4-0 loss to Gallo FC. “I have no excuses. It vas a poor season and I am not shirking any responsibility for it.” So much was expected from this team, and the expectations were only raised after going top only 3 matches into the league, captivating the league with their movement and passing. However, they immediately went into a slump, losing 4 matches in a row, bringing them as low as 6th. Yekhanurov seized the slide by ditching their usual attractive attacking football and concentrating on grinding out the results, and they made slow but sure progress back to the top half of the table. However, a second-half collapse on the final day condemned them to the bottom half of the table on goal difference. Nevertheless, Yekhanurov has the luxury of youth in his squad, and the club should hit its peak within the next 2 seasons.

Top Scorers:
Benno Rimsky-Korsakov – 10 goals in 14 matches
Nikolay Bergelson – 7 goals in 14 matches
Feliks Kulov – 2 goals in 14 matches


6th Place: Iberia CF – 16 Pts
Played 14, Won 4, Drew 4, Lost 6, Scored 17, Conceded 26, Goal Difference -9
Iberia manager Ramón DeVicenzo must be feeling the heat after a less than stellar season. He was forced to revert to a 4-4-2 after his original 5-3-2 resulted in 2 losses and 8 goals scored against. Failing to keep to their defensive expectations, there is enormous pressure on DeVicenzo, and if results don’t go their way early next season, he could face the sack early on. Nevertheless, he will benefit from his young team gaining maturity and experience, but the general feeling is that he will have to make some shrewd decisions in the transfer market.

Top Scorers:
Vicente de Silva – 7 goals in 13 matches
Ricardo Coria – 5 in 13
Gregorio Cancel – 2 in 12


7th Place: Sino FC – 14 Pts
Played 14, Won 4, Drew 2, Lost 8, Scored 24, Conceded 29, Goal Difference -5
Manager Tay Liang Kee’s dynamic 3-5-2 formation has given Sino a reputation for giant-killing, felling Anglo on the first day as well as Champions Gallo FC towards the end of the season. However, consistency has been their stumbling block this season, failing to perform against sides they should win comfortably against. As a result, they spent most of the second half of the season languishing deep in relegation territory, with only late giant-killing drama just pushing them to safety…but only just. The general consensus is that the team definitely needs to spend on defenders, after conceding the most goals this season despite the miraculous heroics of keeper Xie Siak Kee, who impressed enough to bag the Goalkeeper of the Season award. However, rumours are that a number of clubs are chasing after his signature, so Sino have to be prepared to cope with the loss.

Top Scorers:
Malpaso Lee – 6 goals in 14 matches
Tan De Hong – 6 in 14
Clarence Koh – 5 in 13


Relegated: Nordic IF – 12 Pts
Played 14, Won 3, Drew 3, Lost 8, Scored 10, Conceded 22, Goal Difference -12
Despite providing a defence that is relatively hard to break down, Nordic’s lack of firepower returned to bite them after firing blanks for 6 matches this season. Granted, those were against some of the better teams in the league, and you could say that luck was against them this season, as potential stars like Gottlieb Poulsen and Jan Borg failed to light up the pitch, but as they say, you make your own luck, and Nordic definitely failed to make any this season, but they could yet save themselves if they can win the Promotion/Relegation playoff.

Top Scorers:
Jami Waldner – 4 goals in 13 matches
Ulf Nilsen – 3 in 14
Tommi Nevanlinna – 1 in 12


The Promotion/Relegation playoff should be held sometime soon, after the representative from the semi-professional leagues is confirmed.

Awards

Player of the Year

Constantine Shoreland United

The 23 year old took played well beyond his years, leading his club the their 2nd championship and their first since the inaugural Premier League season. He was one of the highest scoring midfielders, netting in 14 goals, to go along with a phenomenal 25 assists, which became a new Premier League record. His average rating was 7.91, which also became a new record, topping the one Julio Matis set in Year One. His unmatched pace and speed were primary reasons for his success, but it wouldnt have meant much if he didnt possess the maturity he has. The former U21 star and current Lions right winger did it all this season, and Shoreland United won the title because of it.


Young Player of the Year

Jimmy Kelly Captera Athletic

What a phenomenal year this 21 year striker had. He burst on to the scene with a superb brace in Matchday Two, and has not looked back since. He was a big reason for Captera's suprising 6th place finish, leading his team with 27 goals, also good enough for 2nd in the Premier League. The previous year, he appeared 21 times and scored 6 goals, but the confidence that this young man possesses took him up another notch in Year Four. He ended the season with 35 appearances, 27 goals, 5 assists, 9 MofM, and a Rating of 7.62.


Goalkeeper of the Year

Derrell Lynch Captera Athletic

For the 4th consecutive year, Lynch has made the award his own. The best goalkeeper in Nedalia might be growing old, but there still is no better man in between the posts playing the Premier League. Along with Jimmy Kelly, was the main reason for Captera's suprising success this year. He played in 36 games, recording 13 clean sheets and had a Rating of 7.58. No other play has won the award other than him thus far in the Premier League.


Defender of the Year

Hans Lamm Honsfield Athletic

Possibly the most consistent player in all of the Premier League, Lamm never misses a beat. The 27 year old continues to do the job the same he started it 4 years ago with the same club, who finished in 3rd place this year because of solid play from the likes of Lamm. The Nedalian international has made the Lions RB position his, and it doesnt look like anyone will be unseating him soon. He becomes the first non-central defender to win the award, following Mohammed Khadra and Cole Zenith. Appeared 35 times, scored 4 goals, had 6 assists, got 6 MotM, and had a Rating of 7.73.


Midfielder of the Year

See Player of the Year.


Striker of the Year

Contares Groftanne AC

After leading unheralded Groftanne to 7th place in the Premier League, Contares stated that he would like a contract to extend his stay in the southern Nedalian town because he loved the climate, and more importantly, he loved the people. Its safe to say that the feeling is reciprocated, after the sensational season the striker delivered. He led the Premier League in scoring after netting in 28 goals, but it was also the 26 year old's overall game that got him this prestigious award. He delivered 8 assists to go with 8 MotMs and got a Rating of 7.79. The 28 goals he scored were easily the highest of his entire career.


Foreign Report

Bettia

Omar Whistler: Made a successful switch from on Free Transfer to Strundanne AC, despite his clubs underachieving season...Could be classified as the catch of the season, as the 11th placed team paid nothing for the services of the midfielder...They were rewarded with 4 goals, 6 assists, 2 MotM, and a Rating of 7.35 in 31 appearances...The Bettia international is looking forward to the next year, which he hopes will top his accomplishments from this year.

Ziyad Farmer: Made the move from Maindy FC to Porasse FC for $1.9 million, the most expensive out of a trio of Bettian moves in the offseason...Despite that, was the least consistent of the three players, suffering from several lapses of bad spells...On his good days, plays as well as anyone, but for the midfielder, they came far and wide between...Appeared 27 times for his club, scoring only 1 goal to go with 3 assists, 0 MotM, and a Rating of 6.76...His club, however, did suprisingly well, finishing 9th over several years in Premier League obscurity.

Laurie LeClerc: Also made the move from Maindy FC, joining Zupera United for $900,000...The striker was the leading goalscorer for his club, who finished 14th in the Premier League...Was arguably the most impressive of the Bettians who made the switch to the Premier League this season...His 17 goals were good for 10th best in the Goal-Scorers Chart...Also added 2 assists, 3 MofM, and a Rating of 7.38.



Hockey Canada

Kyle Thomas: The 20 year old GK earned the starting position for his club Edensanne United when he was just 16...Was not too consistent this year, conceding 74 goals as his club finished in 13th place...Has shown signs of improvement, however, when it comes to handling corner balls, a previous weakness...Had a rating of 6.75, one of the lower ratings for starting GK...Must improve his consistency if he wants to become considered one of the Premier League's best...Very young with growing experience, has an edge over most other GKs...Potential is definitely there, now needs to act upon it.

Chris Kormack: 28 year old Edensanne United central defender was one of the better players on an inconsistent squad this year...His toughness is unmatched; his agility is unheard of...Gets the job done without any show to his game, but remains one of the strongest defenders, physically, in the Premier League...Had a Rating of 7.11 while appearing 37 times this year...Recorded neither a goal nor an assist.

Rahul Kulkarni: The 24 year old Edensanne United left winger was another Hockey Canada player who could not show the proper consistency this year...Despite his pace, he still hasnt developed the proper ball skills to beat an opponent one on one easily...Has a blistering shot, though...Recorded 3 goals in 33 appearances, to go with 4 assists and a Rating of 7.04...The team would like more crosses from him, even though that is a glaring weakness in his game...Still, on a good day, ranks as one of the better wingers in the Premier League.

Yannic Perrault: Another Edensanne United player, the 22 year old central midfielder was the clubs best player this season...His game has grown each season, and this year, he was considered to be one of the best central midfielders in the Premier League...Did not have much help, though, which led to his club's low League ranking...A good shot, fabulous passer, and does not negate his defensive duties...A coach's dream come true, he captained the squad for the first time in Matchday Four, and has held on to the captain's armband ever since, despite his young age...Appeared 33 times, scored 2 goals, handed out 10 assists, earned 4 MofM, and had a Rating of 7.40.


Hypocria

Peter Costanzo: Hypocria has only one representative in the Nedalia Premier League, and its the 25 year old right midfielder who plays for Bronkstone FC...Played well this season, helping his team to a 8th place finish, jsut about what the "experts" predicted at the beginning of the season...Featured in 30 matches, scoring 3 goals and handing out 5 assists to go with 1 MotM and a Rating of 7.21...Is enjoying his time in the Nedalian capital, and is looking to extend his contract with the club.


Krytenia

Ray Lausano: Netted in 19 goals for Dorpar AC this season after coming in from New Osteria, helping his new club to 4th in the Nedalia Premier League...Those 19 goals made him the 8th top scorer in Year Four...Also dished out 5 assists to go with the goals, had an final average ranking of 7.43 in 35 appearances...His touch around the goal was the primary weapon for Dorpar throughout the season...Originally came from Krytenia after Year Three for $3.6 million.


Nova Britannicus

Joseph Smythe: 31 year old Honsfield Athletic Goalkeeper was one of the best in the Premier League this year...Always consistent, always reliable, owns his clubs record for most games played...Recorded 16 clean sheets, playing well behind a stellar Honsfield defence, led by his country mates...Was widely considered to be Derrell Lynch main competitor for the GK of the Year award...Didnt win it, but still had a fine season.

Gordon Buxton: 25 year old Honsfield Athletic central defender...Made up 1/2 of the Britannicus defensive unit which led to one of the best defences in the Premier League this year...Strong, fast, and agile, Buxton has it all going for him...Uses full advantage of it as well, having developed into one of the finer defenders in the League today...Still, could improve when it comes to tempermant, as his card count remains high...Appeared 32 times, scoring 1 goal and handing out 2 assists....Didnt record a MotM but had a rating of 7.32.

Jimmy Trant: As good as Buxton was, Trant was even better...Easily one of the best defenders in the League, this 26 year old Honsfield Athletic central defender is also the team captain...Just as tough, fast, and agile as Buxton, but possesses a much better tempermant...Controls the backline with full authority and ease, and not so bad going forward either...Was a candidate for the Defender of the Year, but lost out to a fellow teammate...Appeared 37 times, scoring 2 goals, handing out 4 assists, had 4 MotM, and had a Rating of 7.46.

Henry Maitland: The 23 year old right winger remained inconsistent with tremendous flashes of brilliance, the same story as before...Honsfield Athletic continue to be frustrated by him, knowing he could easily be one of the best midfielders in the League...Has all the physical tools needed, just cant seem to get it all together...Continues to hold down the starting position simply on the fact that he could blow at any minute and explode towards the net...Tremendous offensive force that can just disappear sometimes during a game...Still, didnt have a bad statline: 29 appearances, 4 goals, 5 assists, 1 MotM, and a Rating of 7.18.


Spruitland

Lee Beck: The midfielder has been with Brickell United since the beginning...Had an up and down season, much like his club, which finished 10th in the Premier League...The Spruitland former U21 players scored 2 goals, handed out 2 assists to go with 0 MotM and a Rating of 6.93 in 28 appearances...Has has better, more consistent seasons...Has the talent to shine, and is still young enough to do so.


Starblaydia

David Bentley: The Honsfield Athletic manager suprised many when he took a somewhat unheralded squad to 3rd place in the League...The former Starblaydia international was caught in some mid-season drama when he was sent off for threatening the life of a referee...Apparently, he did not agree with an offside ruling and told the referee to "make sure he starts getting someone else to turn on his car"...Was suspended for 3 games because of those antics...Nonetheless, proved to be one of the best managers this season.

Julio Matis: It seems that age has finally caught up with the Starblaydi, who only appeared 14 times and scored only 3 games this season, his last as a professional footballer...Still holds the Premier League record for most goals scored in a season (31), which he accomplished in Year One...His goalscoring tally has dipped since, with 16 goals scored in Year Two and 8 scored in Year Three, bringins his total tally for his career in Nedalia to 58...Honsfield will be sad to see him go, was one of the fan favorites.

Division 2 Wickert AFC Win Milchama Cup!

In one of the craziest Milchama Cups in recent memory a Division 2 side Wickert AFC beat Division 1 league champs Great Alexandria 1-0 in the third game of the final to take home the cup. That was just the end of a crazy Milchama Cup that saw the champs of two year Chaialim lose in the second round, 3 Division 2 teams making it to quarters, two Division 2 teams making it to semis, and of course Wickert AFC winning it.

The big upsets this year were two non-league teams (Flames and Rhinos) beating the Celtic Warriors and the Feudal Warlords. But the biggest upset of all was another non-league side Frenchies FC beating newly promoted Hapoel Chi Town in extra time.

The second round was where things got crazy. It all started with the second match up as Megan Illavsky FC sneaked by the Rhinos on penalties 12-11. It all went downhill from there as the horrible people of Karela FC beat Chaialim in a big shocker. They managed to get a big goal in extra time from Zach Merker to send them thru to the next round. Then Great Alexandria almost lost only to be saved by Billy Timmons who made 1 clutch goal to send the second game into the extra time. Finally in the last matchup the non-league Shields of Abraham beat Plunderers FC to move into contention for a bid.

Losers Bids: Desert Foxes, Robbing Bandits, Megan Illavsky FC, Shields of Abraham

The all important Bid round started here. For those not in Milchama a bid gurantees a bye thru the first round of next year's tournament. This new practice was installed this year that every team that made it to octofinals would get a bid plus 4 teams who lost in round 3 would get loser's bids. All the match ups were hotly contested but none more so then the match up of last year's final as unluckily for both the Desert Foxes and the Rising Fireballs they had to play each other. The Fireballs won it in extra time knocking the defending champs out of the tournament. In some other news Karela FC got knocked out of the tournament by a determined City Devils side. Finally a non-league side (Shields of Abraham) got the final loser's bid.

The Rising Fireballs really got some bad luck in the draw this time, as right after facing the second best team in Milchama (Desert Foxes) they play the best team in Milchama (Great Alexandria). This time though they could not pull the upset losing in the penalty kick shootout. Three division 2 teams advanced, two with extreme luck. Both the City Devils and Wickert played Division 3 teams in the Grand Rangers and the Amish Terrorists. They advanced easily. FC Doom on the other hand, beat a tough Milchama Warriors at home in the second leg to get to quarters.

FC Doom did it again as their star striker Kieron Lerner, got a big 23rd minute goal on the road to beat the Norman Spartans and go to semifinals. Wickert also got a semi finals as their goalkeeper Tal Jones made a total of 12 saves to get two shutouts and advancement. In some more offense oriented games the Legions of Hope outscored the Pesimistic Chariots getting a goal in extra time from Marc J. Floren to secure advancement. In the final matchup, Great Alexandria did not get upset by the City Devils as a first leg hattrick by Spot Nielson easily sent them thru to semis.

Semifinals:
FC Doom v Wickert AFC Leg 1 3-0 Wickert Leg 2 2-2 Wickert adv
Great Alexandria v Legions of Hope Leg 1 2-1 Alexandria Leg 2 3-0 Alexandria adv

There was luck in the draw, and depending on who you are it was bad or good luck. If you are a fan of a Division then it was good luck as the two Division 2 sides remaining faced each other. While if you are a fan of Great Alexandria or Legions of Hope it was bad luck as they were forced to play each other. In the first match up Wickert's defense extended their shut out streak to 6 games (including league matches) and beat FC Doom 3-0 in the first leg to go to the finals. In the other match up the class and skill of Great Alexandria were to much for the Legions as their defense just could not stop the relentless attack.

3rd Place Match
Legions of Hope v FC Doom Game 1: 1-1 AET 1-0 FC Doom
Kieron Lerner is certainly looking for a spot on the U21 of Milchama after his performace in this cup. None of his goals were more clutch though then his 102nd minute goal to give FC Doom the advantage in the third place match.
Game 2: 4-0 Legions of Hope
Luckily for FC Doom there is no aggregate in these final and third place matchups. Floren went wild on the Doom defense and scored 2 goals and helped Aaron Kary score two others to give the Legions a big 4-0 win.
Game 3: 4-2 Legions of Hope
The third match wasn't any better for the Doom defense as this time Floren got a hattrick. He also helped Schreider Martin get the 4th goal. Kieron Lerner's two spectacular goals were not enough.

Finals
Great Alexandria v Wickert AFC Game 1: 1-1 AET 2-0 Wickert
Great Alexandria's defense could not hold the early given to them by Yonatan Mitayel. Mitayel's 9th minute goal was the difference for 72 minutes until Clete Brockmore got a great 81st minute goal to tie the game. Then in the 98th minute Brockmore again got a goal to give the Wickert the lead and the first game.
Game 2: 1-0 Great Alexandria
The Alexandrians came back with a great win on the road as Mario Paquili and the defense played spectacularly giving only 2 shots for Wickert for the entire game. The offense though could not score despite getting 15 shots, until the 73rd minute when Spot Nielson's header off a corner kick was the difference and gave the Alexandrians the game.
Game 3: 1-0 Wickert AFC
One penalty made the difference in the Milchama Cup. The Alexandrians was again superb leaving Wickert with only 5 shots. The offense though was again stagnant as Wickert's goal of stopping Spot Nielson worked perfectly. Nielson could not create holes or create chances for fellow striker Yonatan Mitayel. The game languished in midfield for a lot but finally one play in the 61st minute by Wickert midfielder Thomas Smith made the difference. He was tripped up in the box and the ref immediately called for a penalty. Clete Brockmore stepped up and slotted home the penalty perfectly, completely faking out goalie Mario Paquili on the way to getting Wickert AFC everlasting fame.

One final comment: It will be tough to see next year's Milchama Cup topping this one.

Giant Zucchini Premier League Update

A Jami Waldner inspired Nordic IF reinstated their place in the Premiership after convincing wins over challengers FC van Frankenland. However, their work seems cut out for them after a mass of retirements forced manager Kimi Adolf to bring in new players as well as from the Academy. Meanwhile, Gallo coach Marcel Dessalines has not strengthened his Championship winning side despite his team starting to age. A detailed look at all the teams as the season prepares to start.



The Teams


Gallo FC
Marcel Dessalines seems pretty satisfied with his team, leaving it mostly the same as it was last season, the only main changes being the retirements of the Désormière brothers, but other than that, mostly unchanged. However, the players will start to show their age, and I doubt they will repeat the heroics of last season.

Prediction: NSFA Cup Spot

Player to Watch: Armand Boyer
Already showed what he was capable of last season, all he needed was a bit of experience to back up the talent. The experience has come, playing all 14 games last season as well as a fair share of international matches. Watch for Boyer to stamp his mark again on the league this season.


AC Romanic
Antonio di Zoff has splashed the cash to bring in Sino FC’s Goalkeeper of the Season, Xie Siak Kee, for a whopping 4 million zucchinis with Benito Baggio going over as part of the deal. However, we will be watching how well Luciano Condulmer can cover the gaping hole left by Tommaso Braschi.

Prediction: Mid-table

Player to Watch: Arturo Bardi
Slated to become the successor to Armand Boyer, some have claimed he has already surpassed Boyer. He has built on his good start last season to become one of the best midfielders in the league; only lacking in the defensive side, but offensively unstoppable.


Anglo FC
Bertrand Paine has responded to last season’s disappointment by rebuilding the team from ground up, using Bobby Laredo as the base of his restructuring. To aid this, he has brought in Gottlieb Poulsen from Nordic for 4 million zucchinis, Nevil Greenwood going the other way. He has also brought in some youth into the first team, 17 year old Paul Denton and 19 year old Hercules Masklyne joining Peter Lee Albom and Wayne Carragher in defence and attack respectively. However even Paine isn’t expecting much this season, stating that he is building this team for the future.

Prediction: Mid-table

Player to Watch: Gottlieb Poulsen
After a disappointing season for Nordic, Poulsen seems to have found the perfect opportunity to kickstart his career again, as one of stars of an Anglo team that is in the process of rebuilding. Maybe it’s time for him to show us what all the hype was about in the first place.


Deutsch SV
Georg Klinsmann has been unexpectedly silent in the transfer market, failing to find an adequate replacement for the retiring Dürer. In fact, the team continues to age dangerously, the only bright sparks the growing Günter Herschel and Johann Rilke. If the team fails to produce the heroics they produced last season, it could spell disaster for them.

Prediction: Relegation Contenders

Player to Watch: Johann Rilke
With untiring stamina, breakneck speed, and an accurate shot, Rilke has grown into one of the finest young talents Giant Zucchini has produced. If Rilke performs for Deutsch, he may save the club from more than a few blushes.


FC Spartak Vostochno
Manager Dovid Yekhanurov has not dabbled in the transfer market this season. This is simply because he does not need to. His younglings now have the benefit of experience from last season’s run out, and are just coming of age in time for the next season. With their attractive style of play, expect this team to dominate the next two seasons.

Prediction: Championship Contenders

Player to Watch: Mikhail Glinka
At 31, Glinka is expected to peak this season as the backbone of this young team, giving him an extra edge to his cultured style of play. With his silky skills and range of passing, Glinka is the key creative force in midfield, marauding down the left flank creating chances and bringing the rest of the team into play. One of the many reasons why this team is so dangerous in attack.


Iberia CF
Another team benefiting from the growth of their players, the Iberia younglings are growing from strength to strength, with players like Ramón Gimeno, Carlos Corretja, Vicente de Silva and Pablo Pérez starting to mature in a big way. The general feeling is that if the team doesn’t start on a high note this season, Ramón DeVicenzo could be on his way out before the season ends.

Prediction: NSFA Cup Spot

Player to Watch: Ramón Gimeno
Gimeno has grown into a ferocious wingback; quick, with a good pass, and a tenacious tackle. His heading ability means he could pop up with a few goals here and there as well. Quite simply the best at what he does, and his potential to grow is frightening. A true star in the making.


Sino FC
Manager Tay Liang Kee’s moves in the transfer market were predictable, but no less shrewd. In return for Xie Siak Kee, Sino have gotten not only central defender Benito Baggio, but also enough booty to buy highly rated right back Edwin Hasselbaink from FC van Frankenland. Furthermore, Xie Siak Kee’s understudy Shawn Ng has shown enough promise to prove himself a worthy successor.

Predicion: Mid-table

Player to Watch: Shawn Ng
As Xie Siak Kee’s successor, Shawn has a great reputation to live up to. However, despite not having started a game last season, Tay Liang Kee is confident that Shawn has enough talent to not only hold his own, but even surpass the standards set by Xie Siak Kee. We, meanwhile, can only wait and see how he does on the big stage.


Nordic IF
Nordic will start the season on a high after winning the Promotion/Relegation playoff against the highly rated FC van Frankenland, and with players like Abrosio Guevara and Nevil Greenwood coming in, there is real belief in the team that they will establish themselves in the league. We remain skeptical. To cope with the loss of Gottlieb Poulsen, Kimi Adolf has adopted the more conventional 4-3-3, and there is not enough quality in the side to give them any edge against the other teams in the league.

Prediction: Relegation Candidates

Player to Watch: René Ulvaeus
One of the more all-rounded fullbacks in Giant Zucchini, Ulvaeus also provides an attacking threat down the right wing with his potent shot and accurate pass, without forgetting his defensive duties. Has a well-timed tackle which does the job; 1 yellow in 1241 minutes of play is a testament to that.

And with that, we look forward to the start of the new season.

1931 Final Report

No Seasons!

Really short, eh?

The CFA was asked at the beginning of 1931 to take over the Liga Chicanada system due to budgetary problems. The CFA, being a sound body full of wacky hijinks, chose to ask the Chicanadan Football Union to take over the group. The CFU agreed, and suspended their season in order to properly merge these groups as well as the teams that would have made the fourth division as well as the fith division of Liga that would have been made.

Together, in 1932 will see the Chicanadan Football League take form. Eight Divisions will be present (20 teams in the top flight, 24 in flights 2-5, 28 teams in flights 6-8) with all the action of the two leagues and better economic footing than the two leagues had.

In other, more relevant news, Rangers shocked Astur City to win their second FA Cup (which was held anyways). Both teams will be strong contenders in 1932 to take a triple (FA, Division 1 and the created Premier Cup for the top 3 flights)

See you in January!

Imperials Reign Supreme (Again)



A last day 3 - 2 defeat in Rasium was not the ideal end to the season for Hypocrium City but it didn’t matter as the Imperials went into the final round of matches with a 6 point advantage on nearest challengers Partizan Drissa. After the match City’s captain Paul Blake was presented with the Hyper League trophy for the second season in succession.

However the Imperials were denied the double when Partizan Drissa came from a goal down to win 2 - 1 in the final of the Autokrator Cup in a thrilling encounter at the Hyppodrome.


Autokrator Cup Final
Partizan Drissa 2 - 1 Hypocrium City


The title may have been wrapped up but there was still NSCL and NSFA places up for grabs for sides at the top of the table to play for. Partizan Drissa capped off an excellent season by securing the second NSCL place, and second place in the league, after a 3 - 1 win in Thraxus. Dynamo Rasium finished in third after a home win over the champions. And FC Hypocrium ended the season in blistering form, winning their final two games 6 - 1 and 6 - 0, to claim fourth place and the final NSFA Cup spot.

Perennial title contenders Pylos Reavers well off the pace in sixth. The Reavers had an excellent AO Champions League campaign but couldn’t bring that form into the domestic league consistently. A goalless draw with Aspern FC on the final day proved to be Alex Santoro’s last game in charge, the coach resigning less than an hour after the final whistle.

At the bottom of the table the DLO’s policy of selling their best players finally backfired with the side finishing rock bottom of the division. Dornburg FC were also anchored in the drop zone but finished the season with a face-saving win in Tarsis.

Kester Town and Aspern FC both picked up vital points on the final day to save their Hyper league status. Those results were bad news for the Linsk Mariners who needed a win and defeats for the sides above them to have any hope of avoiding the drop. It all became academic however, the Mariners were soundly hammered 6 - 0 by FC Hypocrium.

Awards

Player of the Season

Ricardo Kindelan - Pylos Reavers

His club my had underachieved but Hypocria’s number 1 was in majestic form all season conceding just 29 goals in the process, the best record in the league.

Foreign Player of the Season

Kevin Keda - Hypocrium City

The Krytenian international proved to be a class act, scoring 12 league goals and setting up countless chances for his team mates.

Manager of the Year

Matthias DiMarco - Partizan Drissa

A second placed league finish and a cup win ended a magnificent season for the coach who was amazingly the bookies favourite to be the first sacking of the campaign.



Foreigner Report

Bettia

Pylos’ bookmakers have long since stopped taking bets on who will finish as the Reaver’s top scorer as Judson York keeps banging in the goals. Once again the Bettian international topped the scorers charts.

Druida

Partizan Drissa keeper Trevor Stoley helped his side to second place in the league and kept Hypocrium City at bay in the cup final. Enough said really.

Krytenia

Pinpoint passes and same cracking goals sums up the league’s Krytenian contribution quite nicely. Kevin Keda fitted nicely into the Hypocrium City attack and helped the Imperials retain their title. Down in Pylos Nick Caraiani was one of the better performers in an underachieving Reavers side. His prowess from dead ball situations was a potent weapon for the side.

Spruitland

Tricky is perhaps the best word to describe winger Gary Mariano. He’s pacy and can beat defenders for fun. He’s also probably too good for Kester Town.

Vilita

Midfielder Thierry Columbo looked an assured figure in the centre of the park for the champions and added 9 goals to the Imperials total.


Transfer News

The season has barely finished but already clubs are strengthening for the next campaign. Partizan Drissa have made an early bid for bargain of the year for the free transfer of Sarzonia’s AOCAF goal machine Brian Williams. Meanwhile FC Hypocrium have gone for the other end of the age spectrum with the capture of veteran Starblaydi international Michalis Mitrofanis.

Apex League 4 Kicks Off

After Bettia's thrilling run in the World Cup, the start to this new season was eagerly anticipated by all footy fans in the Blessed Realm, and after 10 matches this is already looking to be an exciting campaign.

Division One

After a few average season (by their high standards), Akani Sands have emerged as early front runners, just keeping their noses ahead of reigning league champions Sukatra Tigers and Grappenhall.

Down at the foot of the table, newcomers Fiilghud Town are finding the going tough, having failed to win a game so far. Just ahead of them are Kirkwood Town, Downton and Old Maxwellians.

The other two promoted teams, Girimukti Subarnas and Tamrida are also having a hard time of it, but are just about keeping their noses in front.

Division Two

The second division is shaping up to be a mouthwatering affair with three teams opening up a substantial gap at the top of the table. Currently sitting at the top are Persifera, who are looking to follow their local rivals Subarnas and Rumnasih Rangers into the top flight. They are closly follow by Gwlad Teg rivals Llanedalia and Pen-y-Bydd.

Out of the relegated teams, Treebrook Wanderers are faring the best, making up the pack chasing the top three. On the other hand, Maindy and Emcorn are looking distinctly mid-table.

Down at the wrong end are AFC Rendrew, Lower Sweeney and FOYNLS, who are all having a torrid time so far.

Division Three

The third division currently has something of a mechanical theme to it, with Lorshill Engineers leading Arorair by a single point. Roath Albion, who were flying high in the First Division just a few years ago, are looking comfortable in seventh place.

However, Sonastra FC are looking anything but comfortable, languishing at the foot of the table with a miserable 0% record. Drutton United and Alfalfa Kickers aren't faring much better.

Division Four

If Division Three has a mechanical theme, then Division Four's defintaely has a culinary flavour. Current leaders are Thymeford Wanderers, who lead thier rivals Sageham Town by three points. Newly promoted Loudoun Rovers are looking good in third place.

The tussle to avoid relegation is a tight one, with Lorshill Park Rangers, Lovage Town, Huwbridge Colliery and Gabalfa Steelworks all separated by a single point.

Another result of note was Persifera's hard-fought win away to 1st Division Rhyngwladol Gabalfa.

It's been a tough first season for many teams in the Rolatian league, with a tough battle for both the NSFA playoff spots and the avoidance of relegation flaring up. New Millwall took the top spot in mid-October and held it for the rest of the season, but it was uneasy below that, with in the period between late November and the season's end 8 teams taking the 4 spots, including Yarol United which got as high as 2nd before eventually falling. Down at the bottom, it was less rapid with 5 teams taking the 3 relegation spots, but it was pretty tense between the teams as each battled to top the others. Notably, Bonum Town were very unlucky - Taris United won their final game - a shock win at home against runners-up Redmofo City - and just escaped relegation.

Meanwhile, a few players were very strong in the league. Ian Jasofiah, a superb goal-scorer who picked up 27 goals for Wolaru United, who haemorraghed goals all season, to not only get them out of relegation but to a end-season result of 7th. The notorious Verres-Morgan partnership took 35 goals for New Millwall, Winston Smith became one of the only Premier League foreigners and managed to take tied fourth with Jason Saloir for goalscorers, Ramar and Arast continued to be two of the most notorious figures in Rolatian football and young Rolatian wingers like Scott Black have started to show real promise.

PLAYERS OF THE YEAR
GOALKEEPER: David Ramar (New Millwall)
What can you say about Ramar? He's a superb goalkeeper, he's experienced, he's deputy captain of his team, he's guided his team to the second lowest Goals Against and the highest Goal Difference rating in the league and he's famed across Rolatia for his skills. Simply put this man easily deserves the award
DEFENDER: Timothy Arast (Ranaria City)
Even at the age of 33, Timothy Arast continues to roll on as an experienced Rolatian figurehead, possibly the best right-back in the Wysteria South reigion and a superb and influential captain. He can score the goals too, netting four this season in the league and one in the FA Cup.
MIDFIELDER: Elliot Dunkel (New Millwall)
Dunkel's a top goalscorer, effective and pacy crosser, excellent long-range shooter and an awesome passer. He's helped his team's strikers to a combine total of 35 goals this year as well as getting in another 7 of his own. He's one of the best wingers in the game.
STRIKER: Ian Jasofiah (Wolaru United)
Jasofiah's achievments this season are nothing short of remarkable. He's taken a team which conceded more goals than any other team in the division and somehow brough them to 7th and put them as one of the three top-scoring teams in the divisions with 52 goals - 27 of which were directly hit in by him. He's probably going to move off next year but he'll be remembered by fans as the man that saved Wolaru United.
YOUNG PLAYER: Oliver Morgan (New Millwall)
Oliver Morgan's shown remarkable talent for a boy that is just 17 years old. He's founded a devastating up-front partnership, he's worked effectively, he's stayed out of trouble and he's managed to get third in the goal-scoring ranks despite everything. Truely deserving of his position.

TEAMS OF THE YEAR
LEAGUE GIANT:New Millwall FC
No contest on this one. They dominated the Premier League, holding the title position for months on end, and ended up winning by five points.
CUP GIANT: Redmofo City
They won the 'Cup Double'. Enough said.
MINNOW: Sasti Rovers
They managed to both get to the FA Cup Semi-Finals and finish rock bottom of the First Division nine points adrift of second-last. That's really something.
RISING STAR: Wolaru United
With a striker like Jasofiah, they've got the potential to win the league. If they can stop leaking goals they've got a good chance of getting a top 4 finish.

NEWSFLASH:

Ramón DeVicenzo has become the first manager sacked in Giant Zucchini's second Premiership season. He was sacked after Iberia's 2-1 defeat by Deutsch SV on Matchday 2. Emilio Antonio Lozada has replaced him at the helm of Iberia FC. Meanwhile, Spartak coach Dovid Yekhanurov's place seems to be in danger as well, after the 3-1 defeat to Anglo. Yekhanurov himself stated that if Spartak fail to win their next match against fellow strugglers Romanic, he will remove himself from his position.

NEWSFLASH:

Charismatic manager Dovid Yekhanurov has dismissed himself from FC Spartak Vostochno after the 2-2 draw against Romanic despite strong support for him from the club supporters. However, despite bringing an attractive pass-and-move style of football to Spartak, he has only managed to garner 2 draws and 2 losses this season, and this is unacceptable to his own high standards, especially after stating that his team could go all the way this season. They currently lie at the bottom of the league.

After much discussion and a consensus from all the affected parties, it has been decided that Lev Andropov will take the place of Yekhanurov in charge of Spartak Vostochno, while Yekhanurov will move the other way, taking charge of the National Under-21s.

Tyrellia City is the cream of the crop once again, this time by only a single goal, after losing their first place last season to the proponents of System Karela in Casari, Shelby Football Club. The dismal performances of Tyrellian International continued this season, as they slipped to sub-10 wins and risks a tough relegation match next season. Back at the top, shock promoters Presscot proved their promotion was not a fluke, dropping into third on the table. Many teams turned in their standard performance, while Brooks made a significant jump up to the top half of the table after surviving the match for relegation.

The CSA cup
The CSA Cup nearly turned out to be a cause of tragedy this year, but ended up as a classic with an unlikely winner.

The source of the problem was the Third Round Draw- while rare, the chances of a match that could require police intervention is possible, as which happened this year, when the televised draw turned up what was viewed as something more likely to come up in the final.

Tyrellia City-Tyrellian International matches are always intense and bring out the worst of the punters who crowd the terraces, the threat of violence being a real possibility. While several groups attempted to force the I Street gate which leads up to the Home Terraces of City's Four Towers Stadium, the 5-0 City win lifted the fog of hate from the stadium and sent most of the City fans home in a decent mood, while the Inter fans had something planned for later.

The return match, at Inter's Tyrellia Hill field, was expected to be much lighter, with the tie all but decided at the first leg. Police attendance was down and the mood among the City fans in attendance was light. After the match, which ended in a 1-1 tie ended, the City fans were held back as the Inters were cleared out from the stadium and the route back to Four Towers was secured, where from there they could continue to wherever they had come from.

The police did not predict violence, but clashes with enraged Inter fans, complaining both about the condition of their club and the gloating city fans inside, began to clash with police outside the stadium, forcing them inside the stadium and requiring them to bar the doors. In the meantime, the punters from City were helping to provoke the situation from inside, scribbling graffiti on the Hill's windowed concourses and gesturing to the fans outside. The Police, not expecting the buildup, remained holed up on the entry level of the stadium while police called in from across town clashed with the fans outside, eventually driving enough of them off to open a way out of the suburbs and evacuating the City fans, who were rushed back to friendlier territory. Over 400 were arrested on charges of hooliganism, a crime which comes with tougher punishments every year as the problem continues.

Apex League - Half-Time(ish) Report

Division One

After many years of mediocrity, the supporters of Grappenhall finally have something to look forward to, as their team currently sit proudly at the top of the Apex League. A major part of their succes lies in the strike partnership of Sarzonia's Roy Spencer and Chicanadan Alex McLisha, who have accounted for 39 of their 46 goals scored so far. With Aroras winger Ieaun Swain causing havoc on the wing and the ever-dependable Gareth Coates marshalling a tight defence, things are looking good.

Two points behind them are Gabalfa Rovers, whose strikers have been nothing short of rampant in the league this year. Under-21 international Tariq Al-Jahani is their current top scorer with 13 goals, with his Chicanadan team-mate Jesse Suda just one behind. A special mention also goes to their back line, which has only conceded 15 goals so far.

Close behind them are Akani Sands and reigning champions Sukatra Tigers, who have been left reeling by the shock news that their manager Samih Jones could be on his way to Hypocrian outfit Pylos Reavers.

A tight relegation dogfight is ensuing, with Downton, Old Maxwellians and Kirkwood Town all separated by just one point.

Division Two

Banastra Forest are leading the chasing pack which includes their local rivals Treebrook Wanderers.

Down at the wrong end of the table, Fforest Hen find themselves in deep trouble some eight points from safety. Just above them are Lower Sweeney and AFC Rendrew.

Sonastra FC have finally won a match, but still find themselves in deep trouble, as do Alfalfa Kickers and Drutton United.

Division Four

It's as you were in division four, with local rivals Sageham Town and Thymeford Wanderers still neck and neck, five points ahead of the rest. Tinting Warren look comfortable in third place, with Loudoun Rovers making good progress in their first season of league football.

It's a tight affair at the bottom, with Lovage Town and Lorshill Park Rangers currently occupying the relegation slots. Huwbridge Colliery and Gabalfa Steelworks are far from safe, and the final scrap to stay in the league looks like it could go down to the wire.

FAB Cup

Whereas the first two rounds of the cup were largely devoid of surprises, the third round saw THE biggest giant-killing act in the history of the competition as tiny non-league side Tremwsa overcame first division giants Gabalfa Rovers, going through on penalties after the match finished 1-1 after extra time. Despite currently sitting second in the league, Rovers' manager Stuart Abdul-Rahim faces a tough time keeping the Gasworks faithful happy.

Talking about Tastragnant, after their 12th place last year, they got a very nice year this year, finishing 3rd. Very tight season again, as these are usually normal in Oliverry. The 2 last ones though, will be relegated in Division 2.

Apex League 4 - Four Matchdays To Go

Division One

With just four matches to go, this has turned out to be the tightest championship run-in so far. Gabalfa Rovers hold a slender one point advantage over Grappenhall and Akani Sands, and the main reason for this seems to be their rampant strikeforce of Jesse Suda and Tariq Al-Jahani, along with the increasingly positive tactics of manager Stuart Abdul-Rahim who it seems was stung more than anyone else over the Flames' cup humiliation.

Grappenhall are also benefitting from a more positive style, with Sarzonian intenational Roy Spencer leading the way with 21 goals and young striker Jamie Kingsholm not too far behind. Akani Sands are determined to reclaim their crown, thanks in part to the efforts of Bettia's Under-21 star Gwrlais Devanallt.

Down at the foot of the table, Downton are all but relegated - their only hope for survival is for them to win all of their remaining games AND for Old Maxwellians to gain less than two points in their remaining four games. Kirkwood Town and Rhyngwladol Gabalfa also have some way to ensuring their survival.

Out of the three promoted teams, only Girimukti Subarnas are assured of top flight football next season. Although it is mathematically possible for them to get relegated, Tamrida and Fiilghud Town seem to have enough points in the bag to see them safe.

Division Two

Having already secured at least a playoff berth, Persifera are just one point away from promotion. Their exceptional season has seen them score an amazing 76 goals and concede just 21. The only team in the division to better their back line are second-placed Pen-y-Bydd, who are also sure of a spot in the playoffs at the very least.

The playoff places are occupied by Banastra Forest, Dynamo Dini, Llanedalia and Ryoga Bay, with Treebrook staying in close contention.

At the bottom, both Lower Sweeney and Fforest Hen look hopelessly adrift, with AFC Rendrew not faring much better. FOYNLS have opened up a 5-point gap between them and the bottom three, but they are by no means safe yet.

Division Three

The dominant force in the 3rd Division are Lorshill Engineers, who are just four points away from promotion. Roath Albion have overcome their two successive relegations and their early-season jitters, and currently look well-placed to bounce back up.

The play-off contenders (Spiddaford Town, Grappenhall University, Arorair and Betws-y-Triw) have opened up a slight advantage over the rest of the league, although Llanbedistan still harbour hopes of making the playoffs themselves.

After their dire season, Alfalfa Kickers look doomed to playing next season in the basement division - their only hope is to win all of their remaining games and hope other results go their way. Sonastra FC look equally doomed, but Drutton United could still claw their way out of trouble.

Division Four

Yet again it's as you were in division four, with local rivals Sageham Town and Thymeford Wanderers still neck and neck and looking almost certain to playing in the 3rd Division next year.

However, Tinting Warren still stand a chance of gaining automatic promotiion themselves, and are already assured a place in the playoffs. Loudoun Rovers continue their impressive baptism into league football, with the final two playoff spots being contested by Huwbridge Town, Chinterford Town, Gorseborough Town and Mare's Tail Village.

It's still rather tight at the bottom, with Lovage Town, Shabilah and Huwbridge Colliery all embroiled in a desperate relegation dogfight. The three teams above them are far from safe.

*more convient to scroll through it, no?*

In the very top, the SuperCup saw what became a norm for the CFU the last few years - that the Reds are by far the best Chicanada has to offer. And while the best got shot down by Sherbrooke of New Montreal States in the second round, many expect the Reds to maintain its hold over Chicanadan football as well as are pegged to win the upcomming Inagural Exodus Club Championships...provided the CFA can convince it's regional friends to join up and begin actual competitions.

Southampton scored it's highest position, as the Aeros lock up a Champions League slot possibly. Depot, Charlton and Rangers helped to make it a very CFU top side, with the best the old Liga squads could manage was Mission's sixth place finish.

Other interests throughout the nine other divisions is the quick movement of the new money squads. With Hearts leaping to League 2 next year, Stock City and South Free State scaring their new League 4 competitors, and all the League 8 promotions look to be threats for another promotion next year.

Speaking of League 8, Derby, from the small town of Castille on the outskirts of Star Point made a huge impact in the CFA cup, leading the low squads to five of the Quaterfinal slots and making their own stand in the Semifinals. While indeed the Reds won it all, a lot of national interest went to the Rooks Of The Mountains and many expect them to be a major threat in the future.

In the other National tournaments, the League Cup went from the top flight to the major rivals, as Leagues 1-4 fought for the old TroutCo Cup. The Lower 5 went to battle for the Champiat Cup, which used to be awarded to the best semi-pro squad in years past. The old CLRB Premier Cup made its way to the SuperCup, with the best of League 1 and the rival cup winners tagging along.

Winners of the Champiat, to no ones surprise, was Derby. The Rooks had won three previous Champiats before becoming a pro squad in 1929. Stock City did a comendable job for the home side of the Finals, as the youngest Jaxx squad did more than United or City has done in decades.

Governess Palace, the old sign of the Colonial Period as well as the Golden Age of Risian Authority now has a cup to go into the Grand Foyer, as they defeated a slap-hazzard Heartland Town, the new Goedi club founded to compete and succeed Rapids, in the Grand Finals at Acadia.

And in the final Cup challenge, maybe Astur should have lost. Sure, we can blame their triple as to why Chicanada was ousted of the NSCL at the earliest point in the nations history, but hardware is hardware. They had no problem defeating new SuperCup member Rovers for the title at TroutCo Field.

And over in the Womens Leagues, Chicanada saw two leagues rather than one. 40 teams began the season, and Hennessy outlasted all to take another League Title. Genoa FC looked to clinch a title for the scandal-ridden city, but only had a tie against relegated Newcastle to loose the title.

New clubs Palace, Arsenal and (what would be a surprise to Goedi) Rapids went up. Goedi finally got some good news, as the overlooked capital of Finnegann Canton had a promoted team and a Finalist for a cup.

In Other News Chicanada is at the front to create for their home region a Federated Sports Authority and push for intraregional football competion. The CFA and CSF have invited nations and clubs to compete in Chicanada for a Regional Nations Cup as well as a Club Championship. Responses have trickled in, and the nation hopes to see a greater response. The Chicanadan Government and Opposition have hinted (during an election season? Never!) that the nation could petition to move to a more sports-progressive region if the effors to create an Authority in The Exodus falls through.
