Moments after the final whistle sounded in Sarzonia's 2-1 win over Legalese (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=7514541#post7514541) to capture the Cup of Harmony title, supporters throughout Sarzonia piled into the streets in Woodstock and throughout the country.
"Third time's the charm," Jeff Pevost, 34, an accountant for the Portland Iron Works, said. "After the debacle in the last Cup of Harmony, we had to make amends and we did that."
Sarzonia was set to host the Cup of Harmony, but an outbreak of the SARS virus led tournament organizers to move the tournament to Rejistania. While there, legendary Stars Coach Bryan Marshall was killed in a car crash, leading the team to name Dave Wilson interim head coach. The Stars ended their tournament with a 4-0 loss to Big Pimento that sent the team home with the worst record of any Cup of Harmony participant.
Since the team's struggles in the Cup of Harmony and the start of the World Cup, the team surged after Wilson became the permanent head coach. The Stars continued a run of 10 wins, one loss and two draws that began during World Cup 18 and saw them capture football's biggest consolation prize.
"Our lads have been playing a lot better of late. It's a shame they didn't get to show that in the World Cup, but that's okay. We knocked on the door the last three times. Next time, we'll bash the damn thing in," said Stacey Beauregard, 23, a mechanical engineering major at Joe Gibbs University in Nicksia. "It was a great run."
The Stars will now play in the Eagle Cup for the first time in an attempt to round out its form for World Cup 19 qualifying.
"Our work has just begun and it won't end until we hoist the trophy we really want," Pevost said.
