Bump.

Starblaydia has some over-35s who could compete. We sign up!

Let's Bump This Baby!

Interesting idea :)

Cockbill Street Old Boys (and Dwarfs, and Trolls) will join.

The Jeruselem Goaties would like join. We are providing free health insurance for them as they need it.

Svecia will be sending their golden age boys (well, men now) from the 7th World Cup where they took third place.

We'll send our World Cup 10 boys who managed a Quarter Finals Spot. Has anyone else played since or before World Cup 5 and never reached aSemi-Final?

Lovisa send team too

The Republic of Glam Land would be proud to enter the international soccer stage by sending our first International team to another country. We await your response.

Sign-up Halfassed for the masters tourny.

I'll get a squad once i get some of the old rosters back (PC disaster, coupled with jolt forum change = major lack of history!)

Right, here's our squad:

1 Jorn Axewielder - keeper, aged 41, legendary for performances from the World Cup 10 Big Change till we got knocked out by Liverpool England in World Cup 12
2 Helen Carpenter - central defender, aged 38, the first human female to play for Cockbill Street, she captained the team until World Cup 14.
3 Calcite - winger, aged 42, another troll in the side, however, this one is actually rather quick and nimble
4 Greg Pollock - striker, aged 38, Tungsten-carbide's usual mate up front, went to Giant Zucchini after World Cup 12 and has earned his money there since
5 Tungsten-carbide - striker, aged 47, heavy up-front striker that might not be useful in 6-a-side. But a legend nevertheless.
6 Harald Axewielder - winger, aged 36 - yup, he's here too.

---
7 Johnny Rowan - sub keeper, aged 38 - substitute. It's all he ever was good for.
8 Tor Stronginthearm - striker, aged 39, useful top man along with Pollock and Tungsten in the old days
9 Bjorn Hammerhock - winger, aged 42, solid right winger with some real talent
10 Thomas Lehrer - midfielder, aged 38 - his free-kicks are legendary.

Wella join

Finrods (a puppet of Lovisa) will start too

Audioslavia will sign up

The squad:

GK: Andy Davies, 48 years old
Ginger and slow, but one of the better Audioslavian goalkeepers of recent times in terms of technique. Played in most of Audioslavia's World Cup 9 matches but was a reserve in world cup 10 behind Matty Pedder.

DF: Lee Branson, 46
For twelve years Lee Branson captained the Audioslavian team, between world cups 9 and 12 he was a regular in the side, as well as managing it in World Cup 12, taking his team beyond the second round for the first time and on to the final. Old age made him give way to young prodigy Ben Pearce in world cup 13, and some questionable decisions made Lee resign from the managerial position three games into World Cup 15. Lee finished his playing career at Melmondian high-flyers Melmond City Blues.

DF: James Reid, 36
Until recently James was a mainstay at the back for Audioslavia before losing his place to young Jens Rep. James retired from international football after the 'slaves crashed out of WC15. A Holloden F.C. player all his life, Reid looks like going on to be a pundit for Channel One.

MF: Sean Jenneson, 37
A late starter in the 'slaves team, Sean broke through into the national squad at 29, just in time for the 'slaves World Cup 13 campaign. Jenneson was a mainstay throughout the tournament until the second round match-up with Spaam which he missed due to a shoulder injury. Audioslavia lost the game 2-1, and Sean would never play another game in an Audioslavia jersey. Another Holloden player, Jenneson retired from the game three years ago, and now runs a pub in Holloden.

MF: Nicky Shearer, 46
Vice captain to Lee Branson in the WC9-12 period, Nicky is another survivor of the World Cup 11 TnUInsurrection. The Phoenix player retired at the end of World Cup 12 and now works abroard.

CF: Aaron O`Malley, 37
For years the star-striker/pin-up boy of Audioslavian football, O`Malley's career started stumbling after his goals put the 'slaves in the WC12 final. His partnering with newly-zombified Jonny Willow is thought to be the problem behind his troubles, as well as the pressure that came with his 3.5million quid move to Giant Zucchinian football. O`Malley was in Audioslavia's WC15 squad, but failed to make a proper impact despite two match-winning goals in the qualifiers. O`Malley has now retired from international football to concentrate on his Giant Zucchinian team.

CF: Wayne Bury, 44
'The Wise Man' Wayne Bury (a double-edged compliment if anything, as the maestro striker he partnered, Jonny Willow, had the nickname 'Morcambe') was a formidable figure up front for Audioslavia between World cups 9 and 11, before losing his place to a certain Aaron O`Malley. Another survivor of the TnUInsurrection, Wayne now plies his trade as a painter.

Reserve:

Bambang Pinto, 39
The defender got his debut for the slaves during World Cup 11, after the TnUFBI had taken out most of Audioslavia's squad. Although born in Tanah Burung, Bambang is the illegitamate child of an Audioslavian football fan. Bambang always dreamt of being a footballer just like his dad, whose name he was brought up to believe was '10 Second Charlie'. Bambang won only one cap for Audioslavia, but won the hearts of millions back home

7 Johnny Rowan - sub keeper, aged 38 - substitute. It's all he ever was good for.


Theres a Johnny Rowan plays for Grimsby Town irl, he's from my villiage and i used to play football with him on the rec when i was growing up. Your right about him being useless tho :)

We'll participate. We've been looking to return to the international stage in soccer, and this looks like as good a start as any.

If it isn't too late, a team from NEWI Cefn Druids would like to participate.

Updated. And the Druids are in.

Righto then, Druid squad for Masters Football (all players with international experience of differing amounts)

1. Trevor Rodgers (47, GK)
2. Trevor Kallins (44, DF)
3. Trevor Parkinson (39, CB)
4. Trevor Leyghton (39, MF)
5. Trevor O'Conolly (38, DF)
6. Yvan Trevor (44, MF)
7. Trevor James (42, RM)
8. Wayne Thomas (37, FW)
9. Simon Greaves (40, FW)
10. Björn-Trevor Frederiksson (39, FW)
11. Trevor Simpson (43, LM)

The team will be rotating, with Rodgers in goal the only definately permanent member of the team.

His Excellency has allowed the Glorious National Mameluke Footballers to participate in this event for the glory of His Nation. Please advise on registration details if any.

I believe a wee bump is in order here.

Come on people....Three places!

Please? Only three places....

Over 35 or 35 and over?

35 and up.

All right then, I accept your challenge. This will be Aquiliana's first venture into the world of international football, with WC17 and the BoF coming later on "this year".

The roster:

--Starters--

18 - GK Proximus Excipelo (35, Nidola FC) - The veteran keeper for the League's runner-up team, he is expected to be named to the WC17 Roster as a mentor to 22-year-old Melet Bælükas.

15 - DF Longaevus Aluta (37, Chalybs) - Another player likely to make the WC squad as a reserve, he is retiring after this year's tournaments.

3 - DF Trodor Pervica (41) - Retired 3 years ago after one of the greatest careers by a defenseman in Aquilianian history.

40 - MD Gry Ingenii (38, Nova Malta) - Has played 15 years at the top level without losing more than a couple of steps. He's still one of the top 10 midfielders in the country.

13 - MD Clunes Clipeus (44) - Won the scoring title 10 years ago, and while he may not be in great condition, still has a great set of skills.

10 - ST Salve Maria (42) - Now working as commissioner of the League, he's returuning for one last competition before he goes to full-time business.

--Reserves--

00 - GK Ranius Pertica (43) - Known for his quick reflexes, this world-class kepper was forced to retire at age 34 after a torn ACL. Even after surgery, he's not quite as quick as he used to be, but still loves the game more than anyone.

5 - DF Amaracus Trucidatio (40) - He was the most physical player in League history, and is a menace to any team at 107 kg.

50 - MD Senectus Immanis (49) - He certainly doesn't play as well as he did when he was 23, but still plays every tournament he can to keep in shape.

23 - ST Complures Peritias (45) - His speed was his greatest asset, but due to his age, he doesn't have the skills to start for this squad.

who is interesting start in this cup?

It will begin at the end of WC17 Qualifying.

More details will follow tomorrow.
