Newbie question here. How does it work?
A series of football matches are set up - and random number generators used to generate results. Sides then RP the matches - and other stuff related (sometimes very loosely*) to the matches. The tournament is set up to be as similar as possible to the FIFA World Cup.
We have a governing body (World Cup Committee - WCC) consisting of those who have "hosted" the cups. We all babble on and on about what the rules ought to be - then the WCC decides.
Read some of the WC9 and WC8 threads to get an idea of what goes on.

*case in point - me
:D

Some Questions:
How to become a member of WCC?
On which basis do you calculate the matches?
1. You become a member of the WCC by hosting the Cup.
2. The historical offensive/defensive strength, the difference in rank between the teams, the amount that each team has RPed, and home-field advantage are combined to create 'modified defensive numbers' for the two teams in a match. The offensive strength determines the number of 'attacks' that each team gets. For each attack, a random number between 0 and 1 is generated, and if the number is lower than the modified defensive number of the other team, a goal is scored. The goals scored by each team are added up to create the final score of the match.
(Or was that a little more than you wanted to know? ;) )

I started one sooner, but I jumped the gun. Now I'm first in for WC11.

I'm interested in doing a co-hosting bid, but I don't know who TnuI is going to join forces with. I think he's favouring Warnocks Wizards atm...

TBF are in for sure!!!!(First Ones)
We as you probaly know are putting in a hosting bid with Rejistania.
EDIT:ARGHHHHHH!!!!!!! Stupid BS, stupid!

^^ owned. We beat you, just as we did in the Progressair Stadium in WC9 qualifying.

Only we won't have Irafma for WC11 as he'll be a pensioner by then :D

Out of nowhere and to the title, Rejistania will participate!

Confirmed the hosting bid with TBF.

That was no double post! There are no double posts in Rejistania!
http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/images/07-minister.jpg

The Bedistan Lions will be looking to reach the semifinals for the fourth consecutive time -- and this time we'll WIN that blasted Cup. :P

i am recently new an wanna know :)

CH will be entering its 5th WC. Hopefully we'll actually move up in ranking before it starts. 8)

We are also interested in a co-hosting bid, but currently have no nations with which to co-host.
(OOC: Yes, TnUI was going to go with WW last time I checked...)

Oh, and for the record, in case anyone's wondering, Bedistan is not planning to host WC11, so no co-hosting bids will be accepted at the moment. Right now we are planning to try for WC13, so it'll be a while yet. ;)

The Minister of Athletics, Olympics, and Alcoholic Beverages was due to make this announcement, but he has a cold and is sulking in bed under his comforter with a cup of hot chicken soup and his teddy bear. Therefore, a representative of the Ministry, dressed in burgundy robes and a midnight blue hooded cape, who would give her name only as "Margaret", announced that the Snub Nose 38 National Football side, the Hooligans, will participate in the qualifying matches for World Cup 11. This will be the 9th World Cup for the Hooligans. Some of the players have asked that, in honor of their long and storied carrier in International play, their uniforms be cleaned and mended. One wag said he has to chase down his uniform before each match, and can only manage to catch it because it keeps tripping on the hole in the left pant leg.

The Oglethorpian Wonderteam will once again appear for World Cup XI.

-- George McDouglas
Association of Futebol

The Bureaucratic States of Oglethorpia

Yup.

LE will be back, and announce that we will continue from our WCX bid with Gesamtkuntswerk for WCXI.
And Oddslavo, if puppets.

From: Brent Lavalais
To: Total n Utter Insanity
Subject: WCXI

Kingsford will participate and hopefully get past the first round for the first time in cup history, and also look to beat one of our three rivals, given we play them.

Kingsford would also like to announce it will not be putting in a World Cup 11 hosting bid, but rather wait until World Cup 12, granted the cards play right for us.





(OG-XII-KN)

I will sign up.

Gesamtkuntswerk is in.

Gesamtkuntswerk is in.
We're using the WCX bid here as well, right?

*** Press Release ***
Ready for Immediate Distribution

New Orthanc, Warnocks Wizards--Minister for Sport Ufhur the Hated has today sensationally acknowledged that the rumours are true--in addition to signing up for their fourth World Cup competition, Warnocks Wizards will be putting in a bid to host World Cup 11 with the nation known as Total-n-Utter Insanity. An official announcement will be made during halftime of the upcoming Cup of Harmony Final where the host, Warnocks Wizards, will face The Weegies for the title.

Bazgash the Sly, reporting for WW1

blah blah blah

All I ask is you post with your nation, is that too hard? (Don't answer this, it's rhetorical)

1. Insane Wizards?
2. Liverwurst?

Doesn't matter.

The Patriots of Alex The Tall sign up.

(oh, my! [taps fingers together and looks about nervously]. Well, I suppose the Iansisle Ians will sign up to play their second world cup ... before they've played their first. Er, yeah.)

Hosting Bids:

Total n Utter Insanity & Warnocks Wizards
Liverpool England & Gesamtkuntswerk


1. Insane Wizards?
2. Liverwurst?

i still think LE/Gesamkuntswerk's bid should be called 'scouse kuntz'

oh, and TnUI/WW's bid should be Total 'n Utter Warnkers :)

Defari will enter the WC

Ouais! Eauz will participate again!

The Commerce Heights Football Federation has announced that it will submit a co-hosting bid for WC11 with Kaze Progressa.
(OOC: I don't care what you call it. :P )

Aquilla and Eaglet, present and accounted for, and for the first time since WC6, NOT trying to be a host!

As a newbie to the NSWC arena, the FANCD would like to put forward its national team to take part in the next world cup (WCXI). However, being new in thias area means that we are likely to be pretty useless at first, but then the world needs useless teams... I think.

Trevor Steven (FANCD)

lanky dude would be lankyed to sign up for the lanky world c. u. p. 11

Eh, my stance remains unchanged - let him in, no RPs and he qualifies, out.

the Commonwealth of Belarussian States will submit our national soccer team to the WC

I strongly doubt more than one puppet per nation will be allowed. What's the point if one nation is controlling half the nations in the Cup?

(and frankly, I doubt you even are TBF, but that's another story...

EDIT: A look at the nation confirms that you're not TBF. I haven't quite figured out who you are yet, though.)

Reported in Moderation for impersonation. Soon. Ish.

EDIT: That definitely can't be TBF. unless TBF confirms it, to the DEATion hell you go!!!

Dude, LE, remember that thing about not screaming "MODALERT" all the time in the mIRC room?

How about we apply that here? Honestly, I don't see why it's such a big deal.

you might wanna edit your post to include a - betwen mod and alert. ;)

Just to confirm that the Littleaglaquillapuppet is IN THE CUP!!! And I better not be swindled out this time. Telegram me if puppets have to re sign up will ya?

EDIT: And go tell violet to archive all WC threads

Are "puppets" (Tranquillitis is not a Nikean puppet, but I digress) allowed again? If so, sign the Moose up.

Ariddia will again try to earn that damn Cup... Eleventh time may be the charm! ;)

(Oh and, I'm back from holiday. Obviously. Just in time for WC10, too...).

Count us in even if the Jersuelem Crusader team is yet to win any game.

Of course we'll be back.

Sign me up.

We are in again.

TBF would suggest the idea of "Regional Qualifying". We have suggested Provisional "regions" for all those who have signed up already. The regions would then elect a council of 5 members that would decide on how the teams qualify.

Vozvyshennost would like to enter the World Cup.

(On a completely unrelated note, the guy behind the team is also President of EUFA :))

The FANCD would like to endorse TBF's regional qualifying, but is unclear at how exactly these regions would be worked out. Not that it matters too much to us - I mean, it's not as if we'd qualify anyway.

pablicosta is in.

Number 1)
Spaam and East Spaam are in....

Number 2)
No TBF. The NSWCC would be in control of deciding how teams qualify.

Number 3)
If you want regional qualifying, you'll have to at least have a FIFA region, and a Heartland region.

Number 4)
I HATE NEWBIES

You were a newbie once were you not?

(On a completely unrelated note, the guy behind the team is also President of EUFA :))
Huh?
Also you spelt UEFA incorrectly.

Number 4)
I HATE NEWBIES

We aren't that new in those terms, either. We have over 400 million people, and under our previous guise of Flexsys Cefn Druids we were up to at least that kind of level. We are just newbies to international football.

We like to keep who we have personal dislikes about to ourselves, though we hate established outfits who are not welcoming to newer footballing nations (not naming any names). In any case, think of the upside - you'd probably thrash any newbies like ourselves.

TBF: I thought we had the "regional qualifying" discussion, and decided against it. In any case, I prefer qualifying the way we currently to it. If we were to go to regional qualifying, and it meant moving SN38 to a new region - I wouldn't.

Also: EUFA is spelled EUFA (European Union of Football Associations), not UEFA. :wink:

NEWI Cefn Druids: You are a newbie to NS World Cup Football, which is what Spaam means. Either that, or you're a puppet nation of someone who isn't a WC newbie. If you're a WC newbie, so what? We all were once. If you're a puppet nation, then you already know that you're supposed to tell us who the puppeteer is. :D

Just ignore Spaam, most people do.

Also:DOH!

No they don't TBF, most people ignore you.

And yes, I was a newbie once.... however, seeing as there aren't many nations that have been in more World Cups, it doesn't really count now, does it?

And please don't take my quote about newbies personally. Just a little rant of mine. It was not aimed at you or anyone in particular. However, I'd like to remind you, the closer you align yourself with TBF, the harder you'll find it for people to like you ;)

Shonar Bangla is in.

I HATE NEWBIES
Calm down, not all are bad! Of course, some tend to annoy as Friendly toys did in the FHWC or Lanky Dude here, but most aren't that bad! And BTW: You were a newb, too, remember?

MAN! Everybody has said that :P I said that noone should take it personally.... it was just a little rant of mine. Some newbies are great, like, I dunno, Rejistania :P and Warnocks Wizards (though you guys aren't newbies any more). My rant was brought on by the fact that archiving I was doing, and the multitude of newbies who only turn up for one or two World Cups.

Also, note that the new NSWCC site is up:
http://nswcc.tripod.com/

Still got a bunch to do, and if any NSWCC members can do some work and/or need the new password, tell me.

Crikey, nearly missed this! Timway wishes to sign up.

If we were to go to regional qualifying, and it meant moving SN38 to a new region - I wouldn't.
"Regional" was a loose term it meant grouping. No mooving needed.

i quite like the regional idea, with FIFA and the Heartland as two seperate regions and stuff.

itd give me a chance to play lemmy lots, seing as were in the same region \o/

i think thats pretty much the only upside of having regional qualifiers: you get to play your rivals :) if we organised regions by rivalries it'd be pretty cool, for example having Audioslavia, Lemmitania, Gilmeecia, Total 'n Utter Insanity, Anteus Rising, Oglethorpia, Warnocks Wizards and Kingsford in one region would be cool, and maybe Aquilla, Spaam, East Spaam, The Belmore Family, Belmorian Scandinavia, The Weegies, Liverpool England, Oddslavo and Lanky Dude in another, and Europa Brittania, Bedistan, Ravenspire, Rejistania, Tanah Burung, Commerce Heights, Arridia, Squornshelous and Halfassedstates in another etc...

reading that back to myself, its a crap idea, but hey, its something to do :)

Sorry we took Spaam's rant the wrong way, I think we just ended up in the right place at the wrong time. Just to make it clear, we don't want to hate anyone. And we can see Spaam's point about the newbies - just been looking at the tems entered for WCVI, and we barely recognise any of the newbies that were there.

Also, just to clarify, we are 100% newbies to NS World Cup football, a fact which we did touch upon in our earlier post, a response to a previous post by Vozvyshennost claiming that they were not newbies due to their sizeable population. We do regularly refer to ourselves as newbies in the said post, as we recognise that this is what we are. We are not anyone's puppet.

Apologies for any misunderstandings we have made and caused, and the actions for that have led from them.

EDIT: If only we could spell correctly. Aologies, indeed?

Hehe, that's a kick@$$ group right there! :D Better yet, throw in Aquilla too -- there would be rivalries there at least with Ravenspire, CH, and myself... :P

The Rogue Nation of Peter Panarchy challenges all of those to any sport no matter how simple or complex, dainty or brutal... we may not always come in number one, but at least our nation woun't think of such things as poverty or the debate on banning Barry Manilow from our nation. Hopefully we will host a Kickball tourney soon.

Not with our national stadium, with all of its 850 seats and adjacent chemical plant. It would be like Spain co-hosting with Andorra.

but at least our nation woun't think of such things as poverty or the debate on banning Barry Manilow from our nation. Hopefully we will host a Kickball tourney soon.

You mean you haven't banned Barry Manilow already??? And what is this kickball you talk of? Is it like football? Sounds like it could be a bit of a lark, perhaps we might enter a team.

As the dust clears on the bitter civil war that has ravaged this nation for the past 21 years, one can quickly recognize that this is a drastically different nation. Gone is the corrupt dictatorship that ran this nation before, gone is the emerald green grass that used to dawn the neighbourhood pitches before gone is the football and economic superpower that ruled the country before. If one can look past the dry grass and beaten-up neighbourhoods, one can see a nation which has improved, a proud nation that now belongs to the people.

Newly elected president Chavo Salvador released this statement early today.

Citizens of Brazillico and people of the world, we have won this war and won this fight to gain our right of democracy. Now we are faced with a new battle, a battle to bring Brazillico back to the economic prosperity it once knew, while maintaining our democracy and civil rights. It shall be a long battle, but I am confident we shall triumph.

As for re-establishing ourselves upon the world stage, we must redefine our culture as Brazillicans. Football has long been regarded as being as Brazillican as the moose, or the tortilla and it is time to return to the world’s stage in this sport. Although we have been absent for five world cups, our love, our passion and our flair for football has not been lost, as underground games of Scorpion Soccer could be observed in all corners of our great nation during the revolution. That is why we hope to send a contingent to qualify for WC11 and restore the footballing glory we once knew.

We anxiously await to meet the world again.

Chavo Guerrero
President of Brazillico

And in 8. ;) :P

Also: welcome back, Brazillico! :D

OOC:

Yeah! Welcome back Brazillico!

Also, if you remember the password to Brazillico -- and I hope you do -- you can have the nation "resurrected" and you'll be founder of FIFA again.

As Brazillican as moose? Love it. :wink:

It's great to see you here again!

WOOHOO! GO BRAZILLICO!

Welcome back buddy :D

Only thing is that you'll lose your post count and founding date. But hey, with New Brazillico, it was like that anyways -- so moot point, I guess.

Speech to The WCC:

Ladies, Gentlemen and Total n Utter Insanity,
We, The Belmore Family are, as you know running to host WC11 with our allies Rejistania. You may need perswasion to vote for us to host, so I give you this. The Belmore Family is a large nation. Wishing to host the most prestigeous of cups. We have hosted the Champions League...twice and we have hosted the Field Hockey World Cup. But we are not greedy we meerly wish to show thw world our great country. Let me show you Alan City Stadium, the ideal place for a world cup final...

http://www.djc.com/special/construct2001/stadium.jpg

As you can see it is a marvellous piece of architecture. The Belmore Family is a devoted Football nation, entering 6 World Cups, Alan City is the best domestic club in the world. Alan Belmore is arguably the best striker in the world. We are going to do the draw fairly and efficiently. We have been so disapointed every time we have failed. For WC7 we failed to a great bid by Audioslavia and Lemmitania who ran off a great cup. Then at WC8 we failed due to our dear allies Errinundera pulling out due to moral reasons at the last moment pulled out. We then put in a new idea-a three way bid which was closely defeated. Then for WC10 Runaway Moose and ourselves launched a suprisingly good bid, which was unlucky to fail. Now we ask, two of the greatest nations to host the greatest, please put an end to our misery.

We thank the house for their time.

Ladies, Gentlemen and Total n Utter Insanity,

You're hardly likely to get TnUI's vote.

Anyways, nice speech, but where are the bribes? :wink:

Meh.

Speech or not, I consider this a mark against the Belmore Family.

I've had the IP of Lanky dude checked against that of the Belmore Family, and it turns out they're the same person.

I don't see Lanky dude entered as a puppet of the Belmore Family -- and he's already got Belmorian Scandanavia in World Cup X, giving him three total nations in the Cup.

So Lanky dude enters this Cup as a puppet of the Belmore Family; and I think it is up to the hosts to determine A) a puppet limit or B) no puppets at all.

The fact that Belmore's basically 'snuck' Lanky dude in isn't very honest in the least.

(from the Kingsford Today newspaper)

Lying Time! Government Officials Excited

(AP) - The Belmore Family has done some pure, bold faced lying. Apparently, Lanky Dude is just another inbred county, and not a seperate inbred country. However, the individuals under the Belmorian biznatch of Lanky Dude appear to be Lankyed when signing up. However, One cannot be Lankyed. This is evidence of the inbred nature of this Belmorian puppet. More on this developing story.

Meh.

Umm...not necessarily true. If you checked my IP address against RMs, sometimes they would be the same - because we sometime use the same PC. It is possible TBF and LD are room mates, siblings, or for some other reason use the same PC.

True.

I'd point out that their match reports would be strikingly similar too.

Live and let live, I guess.

There can be several explanations for this, it is even possible, that they simply go online in school or university or their workplace. TBF once said iirc that LD is a friend from school, so you could asume it.

We go to the same school! We would have the same school IP adress. Plus the school is private so it will have a .com IP. Also LD is a UN member-So is Belmorian Scandinavia. They are both in the UN-see different people.

In that case, I would suggest withdrawing one or the other from the UN -- if they have the same IP address, that's gonna turn up as a multi, and the mods have no way of knowing whether or not they're actually two different people.

@ Cockbill Street: I also asumed that. Anyway, ORD said we has fixed it!

I'm thinking about signing up USAnia again, this time officially as my puppet. I normally didn't intend to do it, but GWB seems to be quite popular :)

Man, I need to pay attention, but sign me up

Rejistania are great :D And nice stadium, TBF :) *bump*

If TBF and Rejistania are chosen to host you will be able to view the draw online, for a preview go to www.abelmore.com/draw.html

:idea: The Belmorian counties of The Belmore Family suggest that the possible hosts meet in an open forum some time next weekend at the WCC IRC channel so the WCC can make up their mind on hosts.....

OOC:

I can remember no occassion where we have ever gotten a large number of WCC members in the WCC IRC room.

Even if we did try to vote in the WCC room, it wouldn't be representative since it's not very feasible that we'd have everybody in there at the same time.

I think the vote has mostly been collected by telegram, and it doesn't seem likely to change.

Due to the sudden influx of newbies, if we win hosting rights we would want to see every newbie produce at least one RP, its really time-wasting if we were to generate scores for non-RPing newbies/dead newbies. Also, what we're doing with Lanky Dude: Kick him out if he qualifies with less than 2 RPs we're applying to newbies this time too. </semi-rant>

If the WCXI committee is still accepting applications for teams to participate in the competition Ice Reavers national team would like to participate. We are a small nation that is looking for our identity. The young men of our provinces have been using athletics as a training tool for the military to stay in shape. As a result our team is in top notch shape, and very skilled.

That's insulting.. I wanna sit at the grown-ups table

I don't understand why I'm not allowed in The Belmore Family. Given, it's not a place I'd normally want to go, but there's no reason I'd be banned. It was the International Grammar Police, and _not_ Kingsford that collected the Alan Belmores. Kingsford citizens are not hostile, and would not just harm a citizen of the Belmore Family for no reason. Kingsford would like to respectfully ask that this ban be lifted, before action has to be taken.

New Brazillico


That's insulting.. I wanna sit at the grown-ups table

Don't worry. If I get hosting I'll give you a non-newbie rank.

Why, LE?

I respect the nation of Brazillico's accomplishments in international football; but no one should get any special treatment.

A couple of thoughts, then I'll dodder off and nap.

1. Unless the entire ranking system is changed (still under discussion) to allow "previous" nations that miss a cup or two and return a higher ranking than newbies, Brazillico has to come back as a newbie. It would only be fair to give a "returning" side a higher rank than a "newbie" if it was done for all "returning" sides.

2. If a potential host "bans"/"bars" a participating nation, that potential host should be eliminated from consideration as a host. To compete for the honor to host or co-host a Football World Cup, a nation must agree to allow ALL competing nations entry. (Rivalries, banter, etc should NOT stop or cause potential host to be disqualified. ONLY not allowing a competing nation entry.)

*dodders off as promised* :wink:

A quick couple of thoughts;
1. I thought that we were still looking to bring in another ranking system - the only reason that nothing had been changed for WCX was time constraints had not allowed it

2. I would unfortunatly have to agree that Brazillico shouldn't be treated any different than other returning nations have been (Dead Man etc) That was part of the arguement for changing the ranking system in the first place!!

3. On the banning/barring of nations, I would have to agree - if teams want to take part they should be allowed. A nation may boycott an event if it disagrees with whats happening/where it is taking place (see 1980 olympics in Moscow etc) but a nation may only be excluded if the majority of nations don't want them involved (see South Africa during aparthied {sp?}) You may want to RP increased tensions - extra police etc etc but trying to stop anyone playing (even stopping them playing in a nation and confining them to 1 half of the draw ain't in the spirit of things (old chap!) :D

*Thats it - wanders off, discovers a dottery Snub Nose 38 sitting down on a park bench dozing. Gently shakes them awake and guides them back inside the 'home' before heading off to do the shopping!!*

oh - I lied - one other thing - lets take all this to the CHAT thread!!!!!

A few things

1. LE-I did not copy you. I had not seen you had done that! That is a promise.

2. The rest of you-I will all0ow them in but we will have massive police presence. OK?

3.The WCC-Please give me a chance a getting host. I've tried so hard with this one and just give me the chance and I promise I will deliver. I have spent so much time and effert getting everything ready. Please give me this oppertunity.

TBF: In my opinion, as long as you allow them in, you can have police, swat teams, national guard, riots, fly overs by the air force, nasty newspaper articles, volcanic activity, earthquakes, stock market crash, whatever, in your RPs. :wink:

If it would be for the protection of the nations of Spaam and Kingsford to avoid the wrath of millions of Alan Belmores, there is no point in ensuring in the group draw, that they play in a safer location. And the Free Land of Rejistania IS a safe place.

Brazillico forfeits its vote to determine World Cup Host

In a short statement released to the Associated Press today, Brazillican minister of Sports and Culture, Tony Hernandez, had this to say to the media:

Due to our 20-year hiatus from the world of international football, we wish to forfeit our vote in the appointment of a World Cup host. We feel it would be unfair to all countries involved if we cast our vote, for we do not have enough information to make an informed decision on a possible host. This being said we will continue to be an active member in the World Cup Committee and we give our best regards to the future hosts of the World Cup, as well as all the other countries in the running. We are aware he time it takes to prepare a bid and host a World Cup and we appreciate your efforts greatly.

OOC: I'm choosing not to vote on this because I barely know half the countries involved, meaning I don't know their RPing skill, commitment, World Cup history and so on. I also have no idea what the ranking system currently used is like, let alone the one TnUI, Bedistan and Spaam are working on for World Cup 11.

Secondly, as for my newbie comment I made about two pages back, all I really was implying on was an innocent little comment that I thought I should be listed as "Country" not "Newbie". I agree, that in the name of fairness and that I've been absent for four cups that I should be an unranked team. I'm trying to set-up a realistic scenario (which I started on page 21 of the WCX page, I believe), where football remained popular through underground Scorpion Soccer matches, (Remember that Nike commercial where they played soccer in a cage to Elvis?) so the players are about as skilled as they were before, perhaps with a touch more flair. However, since most of these players have never played club football, they have terrible conditionning, no concept of team defense and ridiculously horrendous goaltending. To counter this, the authorities hired a manager, Esteban De Jesus, from the glory days of Brazillican football and will be trying to inject these traits into the team. The old Brazillico used to jump out to quick leads and put 10 men behind the ball, this edition will be equipped to play a totally different style, so I agree, we should get a newb ranking.

Sarcasm requires a tone of voice, how can it be done a computer?

Talking of 'voices', and another nation 'singing' up, the Free Land of Avenging Altos - a semi-autonomous offshoot of Kaze Progressa - are determined to show their sporting ability in World Cup XI.

They request plastic wine glasses at any administrative meeting they attend, in case a soprano attends and breaks a glass one.

Brazillico forfeits its vote to determine World Cup Host
- You're just jealous. He gets a vote, because Brazillico's on the World Cup Committee.

Dearest Snubby, if you want a vote on the WCC, you know how to get one. :P

Should the Brazillican Resurrected Chili Bats wish to gain some experience, they would be more than welcome to come to Tanah Burung for a friendly match or even a tour against league teams (who might be closer competition).

Nice, try to prove me wrong :wink: But there are enough postings in NS, where I really don't know if they are sarcastic.

Response to TB posted here, then moved hurriedly to RP thread to avoid - see above

Brazillico Unveils New Kits for WCXI
Footballers and fashion designers united in praise

(Libertad, 1:30PM) The Brazillican capital of Libertad, formerly San Chavez (renamed after Chavez was overthrown in the revolution), was the site of choice for Brazillico to unveil their new kits.

The yellow home jersey and green away jersey are of the similar style, with a V-Neck cut, the crest of the Brazillico Football Association of the left breast, and a tribal linear design going up from the right side and crossing over to the left at the top of the jersey. A Brazillico trademark, the Chili Bats logo located in the center of the jersey remains, with a revamped version of the chili bat.

"They look faaaabulous!" exclaimed primadonna fashion reporter, Antonio Salvatore, "The boys will look great streaking down the pitch in these."

"It's a fresh new look," said Brazillican midfielder Rialto, a hopeful for a spot on Brazillico's national side, "They look nothing like the old ones, but they're unmistakably Brazillican. I like them."

For those still nostalgic for the Orange Bats of old, a third "throwback" jersey was also unveiled at the ceremony. This jersey is exactly like the one worn by the World Cup 5 and 6 Champion teams, except for the crest, which was changed from pre-revolution yellow, blue and red, to the current colors of green, white and yellow.

In other news, Brazillican goalkeeping legend McMario has agreed to jump on board as a goaltending coach for the Brazillican national team. His knowledge and international notoriety will be welcomed amongst a core of goaltenders with relatively no experience.

Just to confirm: Avenging Altos, not Jaurania, will enter as Kaze Progressa's puppet for WCXI.

The Opressed Peoples of One Blue Dot (puppet of One Red Dot) are returning after an absence of 8 years. Despite the miniscules being so ill-disciplined and worthless in WC9, we promise a better batch of underlings that will conquer all of you giants and you will fall thunderously under our great nation.

Remember, my little ones, Everyone of us are equal, but WE are more EQUAL than YOU.
