-------------------Yeaddin Owls have consistently been one of the best teams in Vilita. However, it was a major upset when Yeaddin pipped Marine Coast United to the inagural Vilitan League Title. Marine got one over on Yeaddin though at the end of the season, when Marine out-dueled Yeaddin to the Tropical Trophy, played between the Stellar Division Champions and Vilitan Cup Champions at the completion of each season. Yeaddin were unable to qualify for the Trophy in Season 2 after a 2-3 defeat at the hands of Tivali City. Jonathon Stott and Nigel Chapman put the Owls 2-0 up at the half, but Tivali fought back and upset the Two-Time League champions in their only Vilitan Cup final appearance. The Owls looked ready to face Marine Coast in the Season Three Cup final, before a 2-1 second leg defeat to Cednia Beach saw Yeaddin out.
-------------------Yeaddin Owls finished a remarkable season 10 with a record 24 games unbeaten in all competitions, including their 16 game winning streak midseason, along with a record 70 Stellar Division Points, 76 Stellar Division Goals Scored and just 16 conceded, as well as the all-time record 7-1 victory over Tivali City to add to their record books. The title was the Owls 6th consecutive championship, and 8th overall.

----------------Yeaddin find themselves in the record books for two of the most lopsided victories in the history of the Vilitan Stellar Division. The 6-0 Victor over Inland Peaks in Season One still stands as the most lopsided match in Vilitan History. Yeaddin were 4-0 up after just 25 minutes, before Jonathon Stott added 2 more in the last 15 minutes of the match to complete his 3-Goal Performance. It was also one of the last matches for German Salomon at the club, his 26th minute goal one of his last before his transfer to Kingsford Club Elders. The 6-0 Result has only been duplicated once since then, in Cednia Beach's 6-0 victory over Lopinka in season three. However, Cednia had the luxury of 2 Penalty Kicks in the opening 15 minutes, after Lopinka had their goalkeeper sent off. The 1-5 Defeat at Strike goes down as the second most lopsided scoreline in Stellar Division history. The Owls had taken an early lead, before Serge DuPont equalized for Strike with less than 10 minutes remaining in the first half. DuPont lit up the stage in the second half, with 2 quick goals for himself, then setting up another for a teamate to put Strike ahead 4-1. The fifth goal was gifted to Strike after DuPont's shot was deflected in for a Yeaddin own goal.

He is the first ever recognized international from Akisa Surta, And has large shoes to fill in defending Vilita's Under 21 Championship earned by National Hero Jimmy Kater. He took a further step in filling Kater's shoes by joining his former team, Stellar Division side Tivali City in Season 11.
[ 7 ] Danilo Liguori [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- D LC ( AGE: 35 GOALS::SR: 0 U21: 1 REG: 0 )

[ 3 ] Jaloey Afrikka [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- D LC ( AGE: 33 GOALS::SR: 0 U21: 1 REG: 1 )
Jaloey Afrikka is one of the quiet talents in the Vilita lineup. A regular in the team since graduating from the Under-21 side, Jaloey is always in the roster somewhere, either starting or on the bench, when the Vilitan teamsheet is announced. With the retirement of Vilitan defensive legends Giacomo Adika and Enzo Ahat, Afrikka finds himself as first-choice Central Defender for the World Cup 19 Finals. Afrikka will have added confidence after returning home to Jlinal Cove FC, the club where he got his start, after a stint in the Stellar Division with Turoki Isle and Strike FC. The well travelled Afrikka is the only player known to have featured for the Vilitan Trio, after signing with Yeaddin Owls, Afrikka featured for Strike FC and Marine Coast United in addition to a host of other teams throughout his career.
[ 6 ] Ricky Ezis [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- D RC ( AGE: 29 GOALS::SR: 3 U21: 1 REG: 1 )
Ricky Ezis is one of the most exciting prospects in all of Vilita, being molded in the exact form of the most capped Vilitan player in history, Enzo Ahat. The Strike FC defender plays alongside former Vilitan Nationals Danilo Liguori and David Leacock in the Stellar Division and frequently outshines his more experienced teammates. His performances have consistently earned him selection to the National team in favor of this duo, and Arcticala Inlet's Emarka Laniora. Ricky transferrd to Yeaddin Owls in Season 14 and helped lead them to the Stellar Division Championship.
[ 66 ] Emarka Laniora [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- D RLC ( AGE: 30 GOALS::SR: 0 U21: 0 REG: 2 )
Solid Defender from the rising Alikki-Corra Youth system that also produced Esemar Aliana and Marasent Siaone. Called up to the National Team for the AOCAF competition while Full National Players were out at the World Cup Qualifiers and is still a regular call up for Regional or Fill-In national team roles.
[ 34 ] Daniel Oram [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- DM C ( AGE: 21 GOALS::SR: 2 U21: 0 REG: 0 )
Oram made one of the most predictable transfers in season 15, covering the gaping defensive midfield spot at the Yeaddin Owls after attracting attention by being called to the Under-21 Squad and being named captain while playing for Non-League Alikki-Corra
[ 21 ] Calaesa Mitaroka [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- M RLC ( AGE: 33 GOALS::SR: 4 U21: 2 REG: 4 )
Mitaroka's Performances for Yeaddin in Season One earned him Youth Player of the Year Honors along with Yeaddin's Stellar Division Championship in the Inagural Vilitan season. Mitaroka never developed into the powerhouse force that was expected from his early performances, but is expected to make a great coach one day do to his leadership both on and off the field at Yeaddin Owls AFC. Mitaroka has indicated he may retire from the International scene after the World Cup Finals in Turori, to concentrate on coaching and regional competitions.
[ 26 ] Malaino Mumamba [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- M C ( AGE: 30 Nationality: Turori )
[ 20 ] Antonis Siazzu [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- AM C ( AGE: 23 GOALS::SR: 5 U21: 7 REG: 0 )
Siazzu is a product of the Yeaddin Owls youth academy, moving on a fully funded loan deal to Melmondian side Titania Forests during the World Cup 19 Qualifiers. The impressive youth midfielder is one of the youngest since World Cup 13 to make a regular starting role in the Senior National Team, taking up the role during World Cup 19 Qualifiers at just 17 years of age. Working under Coach Nigel Chapman, Siazzu was apart of arguably the best midfield lineup in the entire World, taking up a central role alongside Calaesa Mitaroka, with the phenominal Inaki Soler and the always reliable Tanner Nerni on either side. However, Siazzu and Soler left the Owls during the Season 12 Exodus to train independantly and focus on international play. However, after failing to achieve promotion with Alikki-Corra in Season 13, the price on Siazzu's head was to much for the Declasse side to pass up, with the exciting young midfielder moving to Arcticala Inlet for a fee almost double that of the previous record for a Vilitan club. Arcticala failed to press for the Stellar Division title, despite 4 consecutive appearances in the Vilitan Cup final, and Siazzu returned to partner old friend Inaki Soler at Yeaddin Owls AFC In Season 16 for a fee much reduced from the fee Inlet paid to acquire him from Alikki-Corra.
[ 17 ] Alejandro Vantrease [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]
------- F C ( AGE: 23 Nationality: Bedistan )
[ 44 ] Lai Ncube [ - Yeaddin Owls AFC - ]

Lanny Zajdel has performed wonders with the side from Kutaisi. When he took over, Torpedo Kutaisi were seen as a middle to low table side with no hope of glory, and nearer to relegation than to the championship title. Now, in just one season, he has turned them into a side capable of winning games. Indeed, Kutaisi have already scooped up the inaugural SO League title, and look set to do well in the Champions' League, where they have been drawn into a relatively simple Group 3:
Torpedo Kutaisi (South Osettia)
Bkojly (Stumperia)
Anagon United (Giant Zucchini)
Bishop FC (Chicanada)
Quarua Lakeside (Kaze Progressa)
It appears that the only team that could pose a bit of a threat is the side from Kaze Progressa, but since World Cup 21, when South Osettia drew with and beat Kaze Progressa in the qualifying stages, no nation has looked quite so imposing as before.
And so Torpedo Kutaisi, the no-hopers a few seasons ago, now look like contenders for the Champions League. So what has changed for the team? The partnership up front, that of Gerald Tuason and Terry Mency, has been a major factor in the team's revival. In the SO League, Tuason scooped up the Golden Boot award (scoring 22 goals in 18 games) and the Player of the Year award, whilst Mency also added to the two strikers' goal tally, resulting in the pair scoring 31 of Kutaisi's 36 goals.
Another factor has to be their manager, Lanny Zajdel, who was recently chosen to coach the U21 team in the latest championship, and is now the favourite to be offered the role of the World Cup squad, where he'll undoubtedly be joined by forward Tuason and goalkeeper Louis Kamakea, who conceded only 11 goals in the previous campaign. His no-nonsense approach to the game and his determination to win has been the driving force that propelled Kutaisi to the top of the league, and now he is looking for international success.
"I have no doubt that I've got some of the best young talent available to me at the moment. In Tuason and Mency I have one of the best partnerships in the business, and I feel that we can really make waves on an international scale. Of course we'll be aiming to reach the next stage of the tournament, and hopefully we can go even further than that."
Kutaisi's first game is tomorrow against Bishop FC of Chicanada. Although they are relatively new to the footballing scene, Chicanada have proved their worth, and Bishop will be a touhg nut to crack. However, we have full confidence that Kutaisi can find a way through, and eventually win the day. It'll just be another step up the ladder for the team who have already come so far.

Earlsford Rangers, the premier team in FLP, are firing up for their first match in international club competition. After dominating the local leagues for years they finally get a chance to test their skills against the best the rest of the world has to offer.
A full squad would normall follow, but it is thought best to just name a few stars.
Manager Adrian Rand has been in charge of ER for nearly 15 years now, when the club were just an average mid-tyable club. Since then the team has gone from strength to strength as it dominates the FLP League I.
His assistant, the U21 coach Marx, has been with the club in various guises for even longer than his superior, and at the age of just 43 he is the most likely to take the job when Rand steps down.
Between the sticks is Earl Brians. A veteran of the team and the nation. His back-up being the managers son Tom Rand, who at 18 is showing a great deal of promise, but is being kept out of the U21 squad by a lad of similar age who is soon to be holding back the goals in the NSFA cup for rivals Backstaffen United.
The central defence is a mixture of youth and experience, with the 32 year old Max David paired with the incredibly young Harry Flansburgh, who at 16 is already a first team regular after his maginficent spell in the U21 World cup.
The team is first due to play Jerusalem United, one of the top clubs from the nation that ended the youths chance at U21 glory. With such a strong showing from youngsters in the squad the game is sure to be fierce.

Fimble, can you post a team sheet please?

Fresh off the dissolution of the Talzecki colonial football team, Coach Avid Mashoda, 54, has been named the new field boss for the Saugerties Snakes. He brought along a couple of players from the Tides and led the team to a SFC Finals match against perennial champions Woodstock. He is assisted by Mark Dale, 48, and by former Tides goalkeeper Dave Simpson, 36.
Saugerties Snakes roster (starters in bold, ages follow names)
GOALKEEPERS
1 Harvey Cooley, 23: Not used to sitting on the bench, except for the national team, he will have to earn a spot from goalkeeper Nick Reynolds after he backstopped the Tides to marginal success for a nascent team.
30 Nick Reynolds, 25: With World Cup qualifiers experience playing for Mashoda, he nonetheless had a dogfight with Cooley for the starting job.
DEFENDERS
9 Jeff Randle, 32: The most experienced former Tides player still playing active football, Randle was a shoo-in for the team captain's role. He will play sweeper for the Snakes.
33 Jonas Thompson, 18: A depth player on the Sarzonian Under 21 national team, Thompson is getting his first real crack at a starting 11 spot in international competition. He's known as a quick defender and will be dogged in his approach to manmarking.
7 Brian Winters, 23: A former member of the Talzecki Under 21 national team, Winters brings a clever mix of youthful exuberance and experience to the Snakes.
3 Mark Skandling, 22: Another former Rippler, Skandling is not the fastest defender, but he's one of the savviest for his age and can play zone defence.
27 Josh Cefcen, 23: A distant relative of one-time Krytenian national teamer Roger Cefcen, Josh shares little of his ancestor's offensive skills, but is an instinctive defender.
28 Jonah Willard, 24: Tremendously gifted defender who can play all four positions in a back four, Willard's versatility has earned him a call-up from Mashoda.
MIDFIELDERS
20 Pedro Alomades, 22: Seemed to be born with a football at his feet. He has ballskills that veteran SFC players envy, but could use a bit more seasoning.
11 Duk Trefor, 28: Another former Tide, Trefor is also of Druidish descent and hopes that his heritage can help propel the Snakes to success.
10 Brooke Forsythe, 24: The first female to play in the SFC, Forsythe earned her spot by being able to distribute the ball better than the men on the team. She is small (5'5, 130 pounds), so she can be jostled.
12 Blair Abernathy, 29: Can play either defencive or offencive midfielder positions, and often switches depending on the team's needs at the time. Also serves as alternate captain.
17 Carlos Gonzalez, 23: Youth and a lack of manmarking skills adds to his being on the team's bench for the start of the tournament. He'll be eased into the lineup once he starts improving defencively.
19 Les Carlton, 34: Brings veteran savvy to the team's bench and can steady the team from the back if needed. Is believed to be able to "see" a play before it happens.
FORWARDS
13 Rock (Kerrin Jones), 30: Known as Rock for being the Tides' only reliable goalscorer during World Cup XX qualifying, he led the Snakes with 24 goals last year before a high ankle sprain derailed his season.
17 Marshall Hendricks, 18: A mainstay on the Under 21 national team, Hendricks signed a contract with the Snakes after Rock suffered his ankle injury and looks to provide a spark to Mashoda's group.
25 Dale Cooper, 26: Inserted into the starting 11 when Rock was injured the last six games of the season, Cooper scored three of his five goals in that span and added two more in the playoffs. It may only be a matter of time before he starts.

Snakes look to take bite out of Champions
After guiding the Talzecki colonial football team through two World Cup qualifying campaigns, Coach Avid Mashoda was suddenly out of a job when the Talzecki football organisation abolished the national team, but Mashoda was not out of a job for long.
The Saugerties Snakes finished two points out of the eighth and final playoff spot and were looking for a new head coach to lead the team toward prominence in the Sarzonian Football Confederation. Before long, Mashoda applied and won the job, beating out several candidates including Bryson Juergens, the former second choice national team coach.
"It was a perfect opportunity for me to get back to doing what I love," Mashoda said. "Saugerties has a good nucleus of players and it gave me a chance to have some input into developing a good team."
Mashoda employed a more defence-oriented style with the Snakes than what they played the previous six seasons, but had to implement his new system with a young back four. Except for team captain Jeff Randle (32), the oldest defender is reserve Jonah Willard, who just turned 24.
"Our midfielders have to pinch back and support the back four," Mashoda said. "That's part of our game, but we don't use a System Karela. It's a responsible system, but it's not too conservative, at least I don't think so." The Snakes reduced their goals against average from 1.42 goals per game to 1.12 in Mashoda's first season, the best improvement in the league.
The emergence of Rock as the team's go-to forward also propelled the Snakes into a share of first place with perennial league champions Woodstock Wild with two matches to go, but lost 5-0 in the last match played at the Palestra in Woodstock and played to a 1-1 draw in Saugerties. The teams met once again in the Iron Bowl in Portland for the SFC Cup final, but fell to the Wild, 2-1 in quadruple overtime.
"We were bitterly disappointed that last season had to end like that," Mashoda said. But when we were called by the IFF [Incorporated Football Federation] to play in the Champions League, it eased some of our pain. Now we'll have a chance to earn our way into international prominence."
Mashoda declined to comment about the prospect of taking a coaching job with a national team, but sources close to Mashoda said he "absolutely" is thinking about it.
"Unless Talzeckia gets started with football again, he's going to need to coach somewhere else," the source said. "He's got his eye on [Sarzonia Coach Dave Wilson]'s job," when he retires, but "that may not be for a while yet."
"The Stars will keep Dave Wilson as long as he wants the job," Valentin Kienzl, just named the Under 21 national team's head coach, said. "It may be a long wait before that job opens up."
For now, Mashoda is happy to be coaching in the Snake Pit, where they open their series against the Dennis Bears.
"I can't complain about what Saugerties has done for me," Mashoda said. "I only hope I can pay them back in kind."

With the Bedistan Premier League on hold for several years, this year's Champions League participants are pretty much having to make do with whoever they can get their hands on, most of whom have very little experience. The sole exception: the Dennis Bears' George Washburn, part of Bedistan World Cup 21-winning team. That said, here's who will be playing:
Dennis Bears (standard formation: 3-5-2)
GK - Tomas Kirby, age 32
D - Helen Ruffin, age 29
D - Clarence Crabtree, age 33
D - Jean Roger, age 33
M - Jeremiah McGriff, age 32
M - Joshua Williams, age 27
M - Bettie Calhoun, age 37
M - Edwin Morrow, age 31
M - Francisco Bryan, age 29
F - Francisco Sherrill, age 23
F - George Washburn, age 33
Rolestu FC (standard formation: 4-4-2)
GK - Herbert Bone, age 27
D - Cary Foote, age 41
D - Andres McCollum, age 31
D - Harry Wallen, age 28
D - Corinne Jefferson, age 35
M - Crystal Tyree, age 26
M - Marla Torres, age 26
M - Erma Aaron, age 36
M - Aubrey Wooten, age 31
F - Andres Florence, age 23
F - Pedro Borges, age 28
Just to confirm, Parkville and Cranbury United would like to take their places in the tournament, with their rosters to follow here shortly. Probably after both have been knocked out (that's usually the way).

Mountains Versus Roegrow
The North Delights In Cup Final Rematch
After Robert Stubbings sent the Mountains packing late in the 1727 Commander's Cup Final, troll fans of the Jotneheim Mountains club have been wanting a rematch after what they saw as unfair tactics from the Athletic club. League matches aren't the same, and unexpectedly, the Mountains fans have been given a chance - in the Champions' League, of all things.
The two Streetian teams competing have been drawn together in a group that's considered to be one of the toughest, against Liverpool English Cup finalist Schimpol, Krytenian runaway champions Casuals New Osteria and Liverpool English Cup winners IDEXO. So, amazingly, two top nations are pitted against each other, and it is expected that the Krytenians will be too light.
However, the whole of Jotneheim is expected to turn out and fill the 30,000-seater stadium as the Mountains face off with Roegrow tomorrow. Thomas Boeing, Jotneheim's Lethislavanian star said that "we have the advantage of knowing the pitch and their opponents," and that "we'll beat them nine times out of ten."
Roegrow's greatest star, international regular Orson Kent, maintained that they had a chance. "We beat them in Vimesbairn last season - of course they might look better on paper but football's played on grass, and we are confident that we can win this game."
Whatever the outcome, the losing side will probably have a lot of catching up to do when they travel to Liverpool England and Krytenia - the away games are going to be absolutely crucial, even if the away goals rule doesn't apply yet.

Bishop FC Prepares for Champions League 6, CFF Final Push, NSWC
The Saints prepares for multiple fronts for a change as Bishop FC has accepted an invitation to compete in the NS Champions League while continuing on in CFF Champions League. Sitting within the top 8 currently, Bishop FC hopes that the team will succeed at playing in two different leagues. In addition, several players will also make the trips around Chicanada for NSWorld Cup Qualifying.
Bishop GM Carey Lonnegin has no fears about the squad struggling with player rotating between the NSWC and the CFF/CL6 play. He said at a press conference yesterday the Saints were ready to face any oposition head on. Saints Coach Mariane Illusi, who declined a re-invite to be an assistant for the NS Squad, has said he will be trying to rest his traveling players more often as they have some home matches comming up that should help Bishop continue to rise towards the top of the ladder.

Extreme Take Random 2-4-4 Style to NS Level
As Douala closes in on the top ranking on the CFF Champions ladder, there's hope of the squad picking up two titles this season.
The Extreme consider themselves lucky this year, as the squad escaped the grasp of the NSWC Committee with no members playing three different rounds of play which should help give the foreward-loaded lines more players to help balance off major counterattacks and defensive strategies.
Coach Tyler Ulongerson is excited for play to commence, DCPA has reported, and looks forward to seeing how well Douala can adapt to the different styles of the Champions League.
Official Roster for Douala (2-4-4 setup)

Their mindset is no different than the NSFA Teams and will give it their best. What that best will result in is anyones guess here. Still these teams have been in the past, tough friendly challengers for the National and U21 Teams in their respective training matches, so they won't be slouches on the field whatsoever.

Owls Kitted for Champions League Success
------------------Yeaddin Owls AFC have renewed their contracts with Lonngeylin based 3wide Designs, outfitters of many of the top kits, including the Owls, which was used for the first time in the NS Club Champions League Final against Rejistania's Kalisimu Salan in Kaze Progressa, and has been in use in the Vilitan Stellar Division. The Yeaddin-Based Tiones Lumber company has continued in its role as the teams primary sponsor.
http://www.dirt-racing.com/3wide/sites/vilita/sports/teams/yeaddin/kit.gif
------------------Tiones Lumber have been on board with the Owls from the start as an associate supporter for the club. However, Tiones association with the club was out of support for the team, and not marketing prowess, as for the first 10 seasons the Tiones Lumber logo did not appear on the classic Yeaddin Owls uniforms. Following the crowning of the Nationstates World Club Champions, the Owls and Tiones Lumber re-worked the terms of their sponsorship agreement to feature the Tiones logo centered on the front of the kit, as so many other Vilitan clubs already had.
http://www.dirt-racing.com/3wide/sites/vilita/sports/teams/yeaddin/sponsor.gif
------------------During their last champions league campaign, Yeaddin Owls AFC management employed kit makers and graphic specialists 3wide Designs (http://www.3wide.com) of Lonngeylin, Vilita to come up with a team crest that would carry the Owls into the next generation, while not forgetting the roots of the club as a local amateur team in the days before the creation of the Vilitan Stellar Division. With the continued success of the Yeaddin Owls, many fans were calling for the club to upgrade the club badde, which was at the time almost identical to that of one of the top Bedistani clubs, Yuba United. Owls fans wanted their own unique identity, but still wanted to retain the tradition of the original Owls logo.

Snakes strangle Bears, 3-1
The Saugerties Snakes played one of their more dominant games of football in their first-ever contest against an international opponent, dominating a team from the current World Cup champions in every phase of the match and easing to a 3-1 win. And they're not even leading the table. Earlsford Rangers walloped Jerusalem United 6-2 to grab first in table honours, but the Snakes will take the win.
"I was a little nervous going into this match," Coach Avid Mashoda said. "We're a little bit green in back compared to the Bears, but we didn't play like it."
The Snakes didn't play like it because goalkeeper Nick Reynolds dominated the match, making four saves and confidently taking command in the 18 yard box, according to team captain Jeff Randle, a defender.
"Nicky was a beast out there," Randle said. "He could wear the captain's armband if he wanted it. Their only goal was that fluke play." Midfielder Edwin Morrow was credited with a 89th minute goal when defender Brian Winters sent his attempted clear off Morrow's posteriour and past Reynolds.
The goal did little more than salvage some pride for a Bears side that was pushed around by the Snakes, who looked nothing like the team the Woodstock Wild defeated in the SFC Finals.
"Woodstock's had an impressive run in club competition," forward Kerrin "Rock" Jones said. "Now we want to write the next chapter."

Dennis shocked in Champs League opener
SAUGERTIES, Sarzonia -- The Dennis Bears were the Bedistan Premier League champions last season, and Bedistan is the current World-Cup-holding nation. Thus, theoretically, Dennis should be the strongest club in the world, as they have all Bedistani players. Right? Well, not necessarily. One thing that has to be taken into account is that the last season of the BPL was played four years ago. As a result, the Bears are a little bit out of practice in competition matches. This inexperience was blatantly evident in the NSCL opening match against the Saugerties Snakes of Sarzonia. Most of the Dennis attacks proved to be ineffective, and Snakes goalkeeper Nick Reynolds was firmly in the driver's seat the whole way through. Keeping the momentum for the whole match, the Snakes had no problem converting it into three goals.
The only bright spot for Dennis in this game was the final 89th-minute goal, credited to Edwin Morrow after bouncing off his bum and into the Saugerties net after a failed Brian Winters clearance.
"What can I say?" admitted Dennis manager David Washington after the match. "The Snakes owned us all the way. We're way out of practice, and that's what led to the loss."

The Bears will be hopping back on the plane to head off to the land of the Fimble loving peoples, where their next opposition will be Earlsford Rangers.
Rolestu feeling good about win
STANTON, Krytenia -- In another all-AO club faceoff, Bedistan's Rolestu FC was pitted against Krytenia's Stanton Town. This one ended with a much more positive result for Bedistani fans, Rolestu successfully managing a three-goal shutout. It was a simple, by-the-book match, which makes sense considering Rolestu's by-the-book 4-4-2 formation. There really wasn't anything particularly special about the match, with both forwards successfully scoring goals of medium difficulty in the first half. Aubrey Wooten put the final nail in Stanton's coffin with the 3-0 from a free kick fifteen minutes from full time.

Earlsford Rangers 6 - 2 Jerusalem United
In an emphatic start to the champions league, Earlsford Rangers disposed of Jerusalem United in what can only be described as a walkover. The players emerged from the tunnel expecting a game tougher than they had ever experienced before, but were surprised as the opposition put up little fight.
Just 12 minutes in a pass from Davis was received by Winthrip who slotted home with ease. It was barely more than 5 minutes later when a beautiful run by Movis produced a second.
33 minutes into the first half however and Jerusalem showed why they were in the competition when Munst was left to flounder by a blistering run into the FLP box, swiftly followed by a goal.
This resurgance didn't prevent Apple from knocking in a blistering shot from the edge of the area, showing everyone why he deserved his place in the squad.
As the two teams broke for half-time it was looking good for Earlsford as they held a 3-1 lead.
Jerusalem turned up the heat in the second half, and showed themselves as a team to be reckoned with, gaining 5 shots on Brians in as many minutes, the keeper stopping each. This luck couldn't hold out however as a powerful shot from the edge of the 6 yard box flew past Brians hands and into the net.
United continued to attack in search of an equaliser when a marvellous tackle by the young Flansburgh was quickly passed out to the waiting Dome. An incredible run up the left wing was followed by a pass to his younger brother and a goal for Rangers.
The 4-2 deficit seemed to sink the hopes of Jerusalem as Earlsford went on the attack, assaulting the United goal with a barrage of shots. The keeper held out however until the 77th minute when a great run by Winthrip produced a fifth.
It wasn't long after before Movis knocked in the sixth for Earlsford Rangers after yet another dazzling run. He certainly deserves MoM for his efforts.

Woodstock Wild roster (starters in bold):
Coach: David Bostwick
GOALKEEPERS
30 Horace Sandt~: Sandt earned the starting goalkeeper's position for the Under 21 national team that finished second in the sixth World Cup. He's just been named the starter.
1 Brian Tawes^: Ironically, this is the same goalkeeper configuration the most successful Under 21 team had. Tawes was beaten out by Sandt again.
DEFENDERS
2 Mike Coyle~: Stars for the national team and has earned his spot as one of the fastest players on the Wild.
5 Gerald Ruff: Plays left center back and works very well with Coyle.
6 Harvey Benson: Just named the starter at right center back. Still hasn't developed chemistry with Ruff yet.
12 Trevor Crenshaw~: Solidified a spot on the national team with his play in the AOCAF IV tournament. Has become a steady player for Coach David Bostwick.
15 Corey Tolliver: The former starter at right center back, Tolliver has lost a step but was never really fast to begin with. Has great chemistry with Ruff, so can be the first player off the bench if the Wild needs to tighten up its defense.
16 John Mason: Can play either defense or midfield, and plays whichever role he's needed. He can hold possession of the ball even in the tightest spaces.
MIDFIELDERS
7 Valentin Kienzl^: Just signed from the Tyrol Tigers, Kienzl served as playmaking midfielder for the Under 21 national team for a long time. He should work his way into that role if given the chance by the Wild. In his final season as a player before taking over as Under 21 national team coach.
8 Peter Salivera: Shuts down opposing playmakers like few midfielders in the league. He is one of the best players at studying game film and picking up tendencies of opponents.
9 Darrell Bennett~: Called up to the second choice national team for the AOCAF tournament but he's looking for a chance to start on the senior team.
10 Bobby Convey~: Team captain. A World Cup veteran and a key member of both Stars championship teams, Convey will be looked to for leadership and experience.
11 Lane Carrollton: The best all-around player on the team, but he can get a bit distracted. He usually saves his best games for the most important moments.
13 James West: Can play either midfielder or forward and will be called on as an offensive substitute if the Wild is trailing.
FORWARDS
34 Kevin Wilson: Younger brother of national team mainstay and former Wild star forward Brian, Kevin is widely viewed as the second coming of his brother.
17 Mike Lemke: Needs great service from Convey to excel since he's a pure striker. Led the team in goals, but he's usually the first player to be substituted.

Wild looks for better encore
After a season of modest success in the fifth Champions League competition and first for the team, five-time SFC Champions Woodstock Wild are hoping they can replicate their efforts in the Atlantian Oceania Champions League, where they defeated Strike FC for the cup title.
"We've shown we can play with some of the best club sides in the world," Coach David Bostwick (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v419/msarzo/MikeMartz_8273.jpg) said. "Now we want to be able to take it to the next step."
They will have to take that next step without all-time leading goalscorer Brian Wilson, who departed for Melmond to ply his trade there. The team picked up his younger brother, Kevin to take his spot in the starting 11.
"Kev's been a revelation for us," goalkeeper Horace Sandt said. "They're so different personality-wise, but they're freakishly similar as far as playing style." While Brian is a vocal team leader, and captained the senior national team to World Cup finals victories, Kevin is much more reserved, his teammates say.
"If we get more than five words out of him, it's a shock," defender Trevor Crenshaw said. "You have to learn to read his eyes."
Kevin Wilson won't verbally challenge his teammates to play better, teammates say, but he'll give them a look when they slack off.
"If we lose and we played like [dirt], he'll get these puppy dog eyes," defender Mike Coyle said. "His body language will tell you more than any words can when he's upset."
"I just think actions speak louder than words," Kevin Wilson said. "It's what you do that counts."
"He's going to be fine when he plays for the national team," Brian Wilson said. "He's further along than I was at his age."

-------------------Marine Coast has a strong history of League Performance in Vilita. Since the Formation of the Vilitan League, they have finished no worse than 2nd, and their goal differential frequently equals or exceeds their goals conceded. They missed out on the Stellar Division title in season one on the last day to Yeaddin Owls, before pipping the Owls to the title in Season Two. But Yeaddin fought back to reclaim the title in Season Three. However, Marine Coast has never been without Silverware, as since the creation of the Vilitan League system, they have twice won the Vilitan Cup, each victory coming in season that they had lost out to Yeaddin Owls in the league. Both Vilitan Cup victories came against Turori's Cednia Beach AFC. Coast have also competed in the Tropical Trophy, played at the conclusion of each season between the Champions of the League, and the Champions of the Vilitan Cup. Marine defeated Yeaddin 4-2 to win the first tropical trophy, but after leading 3-2 into the last 10 mintues, Marine collapsed against Vilitan Cup champions Tivali City when Hluali Mijatos and the now retired Manolis Lebe scored in the final 10 minutes to give the Trophy to Tivali. This years Tropical Trophy between Marine and Yeaddin will be held at the completion of the Melmond Club Invitational.

----------------The 5-5 Draw with Cednia Beach at the Cednia Beach Center in Turori in the middle of the Inagural Vilitan League Season will go down as one of the matches that catapulted the league into what it is today. The only 10 Minute period of the game where no goals were score was the final 10, after a Keiaon Akita goal in the 78th minute for Cednia Beach levelled the scores at 5. Cednia Beach had opened the scoring 9 Minutes in, but it took Baron O'Toole just 9 more to equalize for Marine Coast. Then it was Jim Vella putting Marine back in front another 8 minutes later. Yet another 8 minutes passed before Cednia Beach tied the match to the delight of the home support, but Baron O'Toole's second of the match from the ensuing restart quited the Cednia faithful. Mailano Mumamba would have none of that however, as he converted a beautfil free kick less than 5 minutes later to send the match level into the half. Cednia took an improbable lead 5 minutes into the half, but Jim Vella quickly set the match level at 4. It was Baron O'Toole who scored the first hat trick for Marine Coast, before Akita's late leveller launced Cednia Beach into the limelight, taking them from a Relegation threatened team, to a well supported Vilitan Cup Finalist.

------- GK ( AGE: 34 GOALS::SR: U21: REG: )
Pop Duiker has spent most of his career playing his trade on the regional stage, never getting much senior action on the international stage. Following in the footsteps of Corsi and Rory Issah, Duiker looked set to take over the top job upon Corsi's retirement. However, the massive uprising of Jimmy Kater and his superb performances in the Under-21 team kept Duiker on the bench where he has been for a record amount of International games throughout his performance-less career. His club life has been much more fruitful, taking over from Corsi when he left Yeaddin Owls to play overseas, Duiker led the Owls to 7 consecutive Stellar Division championships, before transferring to Strike FC and leading Strike to their 1st, and Duiker's 8th championship. After missing out on the title in Season 13, Duiker decided to return home to Makosile to finish out his career. However, the lure of Marine Coast United was too strong, as they looked for a quick replacement for the aging Rory Issah, and Duiker returned to the club that he played for as a youth, and led them to their first Championship in 11 Seasons in Vilitan Season 15.

Alfieri, a strict Central Defender, has a bit of a temper to overcome before seeing a regular starting role with the National Team, being sent off multiple times in the Vilitan League season, including an embarrassing dismissal against non-league Mliona-Lpaka that led to Marine Coast's early exit from the Vilitan Cup.
[ 9 ] Alpha Siboldi [ - Marine Coast United - ]
------- D LC ( AGE: 22 Nationality: Crystilakere )

GANN Sports Desk: ~ Champions Cup 6 MD1 turned out to be a day to see all four teams entered in the NSFA and Champions Cups to see not losses. However the Destroyers feel a bit left out, but not for the worse at present.
The Clans meanwhile pull a strong win over East Island with a hat trick by Striker Hazeim Steiner with goals at the 18th, 34th and a suprise pull away netter at the 66th minute. The East Clans managed a consolation goal 54th minute to pull at 2-1 before Steiner hammered the coffin nailer. Already the capital Republic team, the flagship team of the Republic Core Worlds is seeing good results.
The Blue Diamonds however had to settle for a match draw with their 3-5-2 holding the field but were unable to bring home any goals, even despite three seperate tries at the 23rd, 47th and a late try at the 83rd minute. Destroyer Keeper Shen Tau-Shi however kept out four strong tries as well at the 26th, 29th, 49th and 57th minutes, in a string of two hard pushes by the East Clan.
"Sure feels wierd to walk away with a draw when all the other Cup teams won today, but hey, at least none of us lost." ..said Midfielder Patrick Kerensky.
Fans throughout the Republic are becoming very interested in the Cup teams progress, with the good results expecting to icrease exposure for the duration of the Cups. As Startica has just begun in the Ascendancy, the Cups matches at home are expected to bring even more celebrations, as visiting teams get to watch space fireworks and participate in carnivals all over the Republic worlds they visit during their stays.

Jotneheim, Roegrow Share Spoils
Both Top Group Of Death
In a highly entertaining encounter at a packed Jotneheim Park today, Jotneheim Mountains and Roegrow Athletic fought off for the mantle of who is the best team on the Street. It was tense and exciting all the way through, and although the home side played the better football, Roegrow could easily have won it 2-1 as well, as they had many chances.
It all started with a brilliant pass from Jotneheim midfielder Euclase nine minutes into the first half. It was picked up by Roman Bingk - from a nation that has sadly stopped caring about football recently - and he buried the ball in the net behind a dismayed Hidrich, who could only watch as his defence was outthought and outwitted. Down 0-1 away after 10 minutes, and things looked grim for Athletic.
However, they rallied well, though perhaps not always elegantly. A long clearance from Hidrich passed the head of the normally immaculate Euclase, and it was picked up by Briyjao, who ran in and nearly scored but for a magnificent save from Qurat. And indeed, the goalkeepers had much to do - eight minutes later, Hidrich saved a magnificent long shot from Euclase that was curling back in and would have gone into the top corner - and a few minutes later he made another spectacular save off Boeing's header. The ball just wouldn't go in for Jotneheim, and they considered themselves unlucky at half-time only to lead 1-0.
Roegrow fought back spectacularly, however, with two huge chances on the other side of half-time. How Ed Clarke failed to score the first one, no one really knows - he had an open goal from about four metres and hit the post, but Peter Kenway eventually broke through with a shot from 10 metres following a rebound given by Qurat. Thus 1-1. Both sides chased the winning goal frantically, but again the keepers shone, Qurat and Hidrich both having claims to making "match-saving" saves.
Because the other match in the group, Schimpol vs Casuals New Osteria, ended in a bore 0-0 draw, the two Streetian teams temporarily head their group - though there's a lot of work left to do if they want to stay there. Jotneheim will most certainly be upset, as they're not playing next week, but Roegrow Athletic travel to Krytenia to bash the Krytenian champions of New Osteria - while IDEXO play Schimpol in one of the most highly awaited matches of the entire Champions' League.

Moles look forward to a better performance
The Moles are hpoing to win this match much better than the match against the owls.
I interviewed Shooter Mole, Good Mole and Robert Hover, the manager, earlier.
[Earlier]
'So, another away match today. How'd you win the last match?'
'Kick Start and I were a bit lucky, but clinical in our finishing yesterday. Our passing was sloppy, but our defence was strong. That's how we won.'
'Good Mole, anything you want to add?'
'We were lucky to win. If the Owls play like that, I'm sure they will Qualify. against more clinical opposition, we could have lost 5-2.'
'Mr. Hover. Any changes?'
'The same team is playing today. We need a better preformance today!
'Thank you, and good luck.'
Presenting...
Parkville
First team colours: Dark blue shirts, light blue shorts, light blue socks with dark blue trim.
Change colours: All silver with light blue trim
Manager: Ron LAMBEALLE Former NEWI Cefn Druids centre back, formed a solid partnership with Amos Hinton up until World Cup 16. Wasn't actually much good, though. Thankfully makes a better manager.
Goalkeepers
1) Trevor STOLEY (Age: 26) - A solid, if unspectacular keeper, Stoley is generally famous in Druida for not doing all that much because of the commanding defensive unit in front of him. Commands his area well, but sometimes a little suspect on positioning for shots.
13) Toby MASTON (Age: 20) - Young second choice to Stoley, a little short on first-team opportunities and confidence but, in time, he should make a damn good keeper.
25) Trevor JOHNSTONE (Age: 41) - Goalkeeping coach and third choice goalkeeper. A journeyman pro who somehow found a friend in manager, got a coaching job and plays for the team in emergencies.
Defneders
Left
2) Trevor MILLS (Age: 30) - Mills is as sturdy as they come at the back. He's got the pace to keep up with opposition wingers, and the skill to help out his captain Darwin Russell in attack. OK, he occasionally mis-times his challenges, but there's no malice in it.
12) Trevor ILLCOOMBE (Age: 22) - Has been seen as an up and coming player for some time now, but if he doesn't get his place in the team soon, he risks being lost forever.
Right
3) Ed YOUNGS (Age: 25) - Ed is Parkville's rock on the right. If he was a little taller, he'd make a great centre back, but at only five feet and five inches, he was never going to make it in the middle. What he lacks in height, though, he makes up for in charisma.
17) Ieuan SORRELLIME (Age: 20) - Young full back waiting for his chance if Youngs is ever out. However, he does have competition.
26) Trevor FORTUNE (Age: 21) - Has been battling with Sorrellime for a place in the team since they were kids. Now they've grown up together, it'll be interesting to see who, if either of them, make it.
Centre
5) Trevor DORLIAN (Age: 32) - Made the Druida squad for the latest AOCAF championships in South Osettia, but only featured as a substitute for an ageing Trevor McDonald. Forms a sturdy partnership with Ellis, but his positional play can sometimes be a little dodgy.
6) Trevor ELLIS (Age: 26) - A regular in the Druida national team throughout Wourld Cup 21, Ellis is now only the next best choice for the rainbows. Probably dropped due to a slight lack of pace, but his positional sense compliments Dorlian's style.
14) Tony REWGUM (Age: 23) - Limited first team opportunities so far, but should be talented enough to make the step up into the line-up with ease. However, forming a partnership with either player will take time.
19) Trevor TYLER (Age: 38) - Mr Reliable if ever there was one, Tyler plays for his sheer love for the club. OK, he might not be the player he once was, but still a damned tough opponent to come up against.
29) Richard MILK (Age: 17) - One of Druida's brightest talents, Milk is definately one for the future. However, he's got a squad number, so he can't be that bad.
Midfield
Left
7) Darwin RUSSELL (Age: 30, captain) - Captain for both club and his homeland of Sarzonia, Russell's left foot has been dubbed the 'magic wand' by the Parkville faithful. The first ever foreign import to play in Druida is undoubtedly the star of the team.
24) Marcus STORM (Age: 22) - Despite the rather cool name, Storm is actually rather untested, what with Russell and Rivers ahead of him in the team. Probably not that good.
Right
23)Sebastien DIAGO (Age: 20) - Signed from DruidLeague Three side Atletico Haalissov in the close season, Diago could be coming to a national roster near you shortly. It might not be Druida's, though. Diago has Krytenian, EL CID and Eauzian blood in him, too.
11) Trevor HUNTER (Age: 32) - Long-term starter for the Swordsmen, displaced to the bench by Diago because he's not quite as fast as he once was. Still sees the game well, though, andis a brilliant substitute to bring on in any attacking position.
15) Lee WERTON (Age: 23) - Was expected to fill Hunter's boots until the arrival of Diago, Werton is now more expected to be seen moaning on the training ground and looking for a move.
Centre
4) Trevor TREWMAN (Age: 24) - Former Druida Under-21 international, but for some reason hasn't stepped up to the full squad. Probably due to the enduring presence of Ricky Mallon in the first team. A workhorse in midfield, Trewman will never give up a lost cause. His lack of goals is sometimes a concern, though.
8) Trevor RIVERS (Age: 28) - Another Druida AOCAF player, though Rivers plays on the left in the regionals, something he reverts to doing for his club in the absence of the captain. However, his attacking minded play goes well with Trewman, and he can often be found with Russell confusing the opposition right.
20) Mark LILLY (Age: 27) - Despite not being a regular first teamer, 'Lillypad' (as he is sometimes known) is a damn skillfull player who most Druidan teams would love to have in their ranks. Is sometimes a bit slow to get stuck in, though.
21)Bob GERTRUN (Age: 33) - Another player with his best years behind him, Gertrun is the opposite of Lilly, a real clogger without much great skill. Still a damn good passer of hte ball, though.
28)Trefor TALBOT (Age:16) - Signed (or, maybe poached) from DruidLeague Two side Bekk View Stars, Talbot is definately one to look out for in future. For now, though,
Attack
9) Maxwell CHILVER (Age: 30) - Druida's top scorer during World Cup 21 qualifying, despite only playing the first eight games. Only not still in the first team because he didn't really fit the team's style. On his own, the best striker in the country, something that shows in the figures - he was Druida's top scorer last season with 23 goals.
10) Adrian BELMORE (Age: 17) - One in a long line of Druidan Belmores, Adrian is grandson of national team boss Trevor and nephew of the deceased GODMOD Alan. Looks to have the skills and shooting ability of both of them.
16) Liam REGGIN (Age: 24) - Flirts with a first team place, but somehow never quite makes it for a long spell. Still, he's a Parkville boy born and bred, and as long as he's playing for his hometown club, he's pretty happy. A fans favourite, Reggin has one hell of a powerful right foot on him.
18) Paul WILKINS (Age: 29) - Was Chilvers' partner until the emergence of Belmore, Wilkins is less likely to be happy to lose his place in the team to someone twelve years his junior. Tall, good in the air and holds the ball up well, Wilkins surprisingly has a grandmother from Chicanada, so an international call up might not be out of the question yet.
22) Trevor ASKEW (Age: 21) - Askew was expected to be the next big thing for Parkville until the latest Belmore came along. He's pretty damn quick, but will probably be frustrated with the lack of opportunities he'll be getting as he reaches the age where he really should be playing regularly.
27) Wayne TREVOR (Age: 22) - Regularly loaned out to other clubs for experience, Wayne already has a CV that reads like a who's who of lower division Druidan clubs. However, his performances for Cefn Bus Station in the latter half of last season might just get him recognised for some club honours at last.

Champions League results
Two local Jeruselem teams were in action for the Champions League 6. Jerusalem United and Beersheba United minus their World Cup and U21 players were in action today and yesterday. We apologise for the delays due to the death of Pope John Paul II hogging news space.
Beersheba United made the quarterfinals of the CL once, and were placed in Group 1. We are very unfamilar with the group except for Hecia who have played CL football before. As for predictions, we can't make any except it's gonna be tough.
Group1:
Machinegrad F.C
Stumpopolis FK
Beersheba United
Hecia
Western United
Jerusalem United were placed in Group 5. We know very little about their opponents but JU missed out on the quarters after a slow start last CL.
Group5:
Jerusalem United
Earlsford Rangers
Saugerties Snakes
Dennis Bears
Parkville
Two games have been played already.
Beersheba Unit look confident with one win from two games (one being a bye). They scraped a narrow win first up and day 2 was their bye. Last CL, Beersheba started well and did progress into quarters although their latter form was patchy.
Jerusalem United got trashed 2-6 by the Earlsford Rangers which was one wake-up call, but recovered with a scoreless draw against Parkville. This reminds us of the start JU had before getting it together later and just missing out on place in quarters. JU always seem to have their disasters early, and a 2-6 loss wasn't helpful. The second game seemed to have ironed out the gaping problems in defense although the offense had an off-day to coincide.

Another win for Earlsford. Foreign competition seem to have been overestimated.
Rangers entered this game with a mindset of coming up against a team who would crush them in a humiliating fashion. Desoite their efforts their fears appeared to be confirmed when the Bears toom an early lead after some maginificant play with a maginificant throughball setting up a cracking shot.
But Rangers fought back and by half-time had pulled an equaliser out of the bag with a scrappy goal by Left. A cross by Apple was met by a Winthrip header which was punched away to the waiting foot of Left, who promptly slotted it into the bottom corner.
Inspired by the once-more level terms of the game and the 54,000 screaming fans Earlsford emerged for the second half with much more energy. Winthrip rose to the challenge presented and topped off a brilliant run with a top corner shot to give the lead to the Rangers.
Movis added another just shy of 60 minutes as he headed in a Dome cross.
The match wasn't all joyous for Earlsford however as Flansburgh saw yellow on 57 minutes as his inexperience showed through.
The final score: Earlsford Rangers 3 - 1 Dennis Bears

What Ever Happened To Audioslavian Club Football
Ok, ok, so we put the word 'club' there so none of you readers would write in and say 'hey, but our national team is this that and the other'. We're asking a question.
Do the leagues need overhauling?
Lets face it, teams like Cornellby, Machinegrad and the Raiders can't compete with the best the world have to offer.
The two best leagues in the world at the moment - Vilita and Melmond - are both rich with foreign talent, wheras there are none in Audioslavia.
Maybe its time to re-evaluate the way we run the league. The rules barring transfers of Audioslavian players between Audioslavian clubs is beginning to look out-dated, and that may be one of the reasons why foreigners are reluctant to come to Audioslavia. It can't be the level of competition (75% of Audioslavia's international players play in the Audioslavian leagues, thats a decent amount, especially when you consider the height Audioslavia's national team's standing in the world). The stadiums are huge, the support is huge, so why can't we get the players? Jonsi Torrini was the last one, and he's so old even his son is playing professionally. Kelly Torrini plays for his father's team Cornellby City, and has even made it into the starting eleven of the Audioslavia side.
Audioslavian team's reluctance to sign foreigners can only be bad for the game. Maybe thats the reason we've never won a world cup? Who knows.
One things for sure, there's a world of work ahead.

GANN Sports Desk: ~ The only action from the Republic teams this day was the Clans holding a tie into Day 2 having to make up an early goal at the 9th minute off a poor defensive effort, to capture the equalizer at the 66th minute by Striker Hazeim Steiner with an unmarked attempt that outplayed the Iskara Keeper. The Clans felt fortunate to settle for the tie in their match.
The Destroyers seem however stuck with draws at the moment, as several attacks by the two strikers were fended off. Even a nearopen net attempt at the 67th minute wouldn't go in, managing to nick the goal bar 'out' of the goal box rather than into. Feeling here is that the team needs a bit of good luck going into the next match. However they still have two match points, and a long way to go.
"We almost blew it today, but then we need this kind of ewake up call anyway." ..quipped Steiner as he felt relieved by the Clans result.
As a result of two matches, and three teams at two games played and an off day for the Angel Core Sentinels, thiongs are beginning to take shape in the Cup qualifiers.

East Island Clan 1 : Mole City 3
Mole City win again, in much more convincing style.
It was all plain sailing. 4 minutes in, East Island Clan scored the opener, with an excellent low shot form outside the box. This forced Mole City to play better football, but at half-time they were still a goal behind.
The second half started well. Good mole played a excellent ball to Kick Start Frog, who used to space well and scored an equaliser in the 48th minute.
From then on, it was all Mole pressure. The keeper kept out 2 long range efforts from Shooter Mole, and deflect shots wide for Good Mole and Kick Start Frog.
Then, on 68th minute, Strong Mole crossed th ball into the box, and Mega striker Frog headed the ball into the top corner to make it 1-2.
Kick Start Frog finished the match with a great goal in the 82nd minute. Good Mole played the ball towards him. He timed his run to perfection, and beat the offside trap. He took it pass the keeper for his second, and Mole City’s third.
This result Moves moles into 1st with a 2 point lead.
Next game is a home one against Isakere Daii. This will be played at Moly Mud (capacity 80,000)
http://www.sportsdays.co.uk/images/headings/football/millenium_stadium.jpg
I interviewed the manager, Kick Start Frog and Good Mole.
‘Mr. Hover, another win and a comfortable one this time. How was that for you?’
‘ I was worried at the start when at half time we were a goal down, but our class won us the match in the end.’
‘Good Mole, another solid performance from you. 40 years young and playing top-class football. Is retirement in sight.’
‘Nope. I intend to play until the manager stops picking me.’
‘Kick Start Frog, you scored more crucial goals. Excellent game again?’
'I'm pleased to have scored 2, but it was a team effort today.'

Oh look, what a surprise!
Moleland team playing in Moleland using Moleland Referees gives enormous win for Moleland team over CL5 Quarter-Finalists
Tuade Lue (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Tuade_Lue), the Rejistanian two-time World Cup Winner and current manager of Iskara Daii (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Iskara_Daii) was seething with vengence and furious, furious anger at the outcome of the Starblaydi Champion's Champions League match against Mole City.
"k~hojnakir!" he yelled into our microphone, though we're working on a translation (we apologise to any Rejistanian speakers if this has caused offence), "Moleland? Who the hell are they? Why are we even playing our games in this no-name country of crap? This is the League of Champions!"
Mole City's rise to infamy began with a victory over perhaps the best club team in the world, the Yeaddin Owls. A win over the East Island Clan of Raptor Claw soon followed, culminating in this Four-Nil injustice over one of the most famous teams in the World, who's name the half-blind Moles still can't spell correctly, even on their scoreboards.

Managers complaining prompts Moleland Football Association to Replay Match
"If this happened every time I ranted in a post-match press conference," Tuade Lue said after the replayed Champions League match between Mole City and Iskara Daii, "then I'd get angry more often. This is an amateurish way to run a sports tournament, I mean, replaying a match just because the losing coach was angry with the result, its ludicrous! kevaki'ny!"
In the muted atmosphere of Mole City's Stadium, Lue'he was booed by every time he got up from the bench and stood in the technical area. Though a Carmine Mbidzo volley and a Frederic La Salle 'cross-or-shot?' thirty-yarder ave the Starblaydi team a 2-2 draw with the Mole City side who also looked bemused at having to replay the match so soon after defeating the Daii side.
"Let us hope that no Starblaydia or Nova Britannicus side is drawn with the Moles in the twenty-second World Cup. That could be a violent match."

(OOC: Whilst I am not complaining Moleland, I was just wondering - you are using the rankings, aren't you? It's just that, what with the best club in the world losing two games in a row to significantly lower ranked opponents, there is a little room for suspicion here. Just wondering.)
Kutaisi Flying High In Champions League
Torpedo Kutaisi are living up to expectations as they remain on top of Group 3 with a 0-0 draw against Anagon United. Not only this, but the team from SO have a game in hand on some teams, meaning a four point gap between them and their group rivals is a possibility.
Their first game, against Chicanadan side Bishop FC, was an excellent international debut, as they ran out 4-2 winners. Tuason continued his fine form by getting two goals and setting up a third for fellow striker Mency, in a game where the team simply outplayed their opponents. Mency scored a fourth to seal the deal once Bishop had pulled it back to 3-2. The win took them top of the group, where they have remained since, the remainder of the games played having been all-out stalemates. All five following fixtures have ended 0-0, and there have been some questions over the tournament's organisation. The inexplicably bad performances from some of the bigger sides has led some Osettians to believe that Kutaisi have a chance of winning the tournament, although the bookies favourites at the moment are Mole City, who seem to have had an unbelievably good run of fortune...

It's kind of late to join this one. When a sign-up thread for the next Champions League or NSFA is created, then sign-up there. This applies to the World Cup and U21 Championships as well.

Oh look, what a surprise!
Moleland team in Moleland hosted tournament using Moleland Referees gives enormous win for Moleland team over CL5 Champions
Kenter Surf (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Tuade_Lue), the Vilitan current manager of Yeaddin Owls AFC (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Yeaddin_Owls) was seething with vengence and furious, furious anger at the outcome of the defending Champion's Champions League match against Mole City.
"What the slani hell!" he yelled into our microphone, though we're working on a translation, "Moleland? Who the hell are they? Why are we even playing our games under the observation of this no-name country of crap? This is the League of Champions!"
Mole City have even tried to enter the World Cup, and it is this latest of actions that has resulted in the latest petition from the competitors of the Champions League, that the States of Moleland step down, at least for groups and matches involving teams from Moleland, and let someone that knows what they are doing take a fair and unbiased approach to the groups, starting with the matchup between the Defending Champions and this Way-Too-High-On-Themselves team of small animals. If these demands are not met, many feel a mass exodus could see the tournament in ruins and Moleland's repuatation officially defunct. Forever.

Starblaydis, Vilitans Frustrated
Teams Shouldn't Be Allowed To Win, They Say
It is a disgrace. In the Moleland-organised Champions' League, Mole City happens to have won three games - an outrage, claim Starblaydi and Vilitan journalists and government officials, who say that this should not be allowed to go on.
"Of course they should have a right to compete, but at least they should lose 0-14 like the proper Ravea-like team they are! Obviously these are fake results and the goals should be recounted. If they are not, then at least they should have the dignity to give themselves negative points for the wins - there's no way they should have won these games and they should be good hosts and lie down in a corner. Only proper teams like Iskara Daii and Yeaddin Owls should be able to take points if they win, of course!"
When asked about the inept performances of their own teams, they merely went on with this blabber. Interestingly enough.

Saints snatch two ties, sit last in group anyways
After a not so impressive home tie against unknow Quarua Lakeside, Bishop FC is looking to try and improve it's low standing in Group 3.
Participating in the Moleland-based Champions League for the first time, the Saints currently sit last in their group, but are tied with their last two opponents at two points apiece.
Group 3 P W D L GF-GA Pts
Torpedo Kutaisi 2 1 1 0 4-2 4
Anagon United 3 0 3 0 0-0 3
Bkojly 2 0 2 0 0-0 2
Quarua Lakeside 2 0 2 0 0-0 2
Bishop FC 3 0 2 1 2-4 2
Saints management is concerned about the toll the team may be facing due to the use of so many playrs for NSWC play (which the team is currently holding drills in Seaport and Eastentown) that they may be bounced out of the Champions League earlier than they had hoped.
Not all has been bad for the team, as the have managed to keep their three oponents to only four goals..but all four goals were scored by Torpedo Kutaisi in their second match (or was it first match) of the group play.
The team is expected to rest tonight as their game against struggling NSFA Cup team AS Risa has been rescheduled to next week to give both squads a break in CFF play.

Douala On Top, In Charge, And Confused
Douala loves taking their game on the road, and if their last match against Marine Coast United was any indication, they may want to do it more often.
The Extreme had no worries as they chased down a 3-2 win over the United to move into the top of the Group4 ladder.
Group 4 P W D L GF-GA Pts
Douala 2 2 0 0 9-5 6
Vanguard Eagles 2 2 0 0 2-0 6
Marine Coast United 3 1 0 2 5-4 3
Islanders 2 0 1 1 0-1 1
Peurort FC 3 0 1 2 2-9 1
Undefeated in two games is impressive for the CFF-leading Extreme, as is the nine goals scored by the squad, which is second most in the Champions League behind Group 5 leader Earlsford Rangers.
Douala is expected to play against Provincetown FC tonight even though they have a match tommorow, but for the streaking Extreme, they don't see it as a problem but as a chance to allow some of their younger players starting time and to continue stregthening their 2-4-4 strategy.

GANN Sports Desk: ~ In an off day for the Clans and Destroyers, they both concentrated on keeping form for the next several match days. However when news of the apparent Mole centered controversey reached the Clan's ears, the Clan's Coach Roger Rara, who's team shares Group 6 with that team, had this to say.
"No matter what else is being said, we know one thing.
One of their teams has to face us sooner or later, and when that happens, 'we'll' put their honor to the true test, as is the Gaian Way.
A Champion's invited team is expected to uphold this standard even when it seems impossible to do. An honorable loss is far better than a tarnished victory."
....when asked if that means the Clans expect to lose to Mole City. "...uh, we didn't say 'that'. We did come here to win in the end, but not in the way being espouted. No where close on both counts."

Future looking good for Rangers.
After recording 3 straight wins, and finding themselves 6 points clear in their group, you could forgive the players in Earlsford for looking toward the next round. Well their manager hasn't, and after seeing press reports where certain players speculated on possible opponents in the next round they have been informed that they're "Dozy pillocks and should be thinking about the next bloody match, not some dreams of stardom. They're the Rangers, not the Owls."
This all occurred after Earlsford flew past the Snakes 4 goals to 2. This coupled with hated/pitied rivals/only other team to actually win anything in 15 years Backstaffen United recording a huge win. They're starting to underestimate the foreign competition, and as was seen against Jerusalem United, if you don't concentrate it can all blow-up in your face.

IC: Ref charged with match fixing
The match that Mole City won 4-0 was hasterly replayed, after Police arrived at the stadium. It appeared that 'someone' had bribed the ref into fixing a high win the moles.
If Found guilty (Which he almost certainly will) he will eb executed.
Mole City could only match a draw in the hasty replay. It will be interesting to see if Moleland faces any charges for this event.

Goalless Zucchinis
As far as the Champions League is concerned, top guns Anagon United and Peurort FC are having no trouble keeping clean sheets, Derfindan and Rakereg marshalling the respective defences well enough. However, what defensive capabilities they have have been well made up in terms of attacking mediocrity, Stenilroy in particular going through a really bad patch. This has been reflected in their league performances, where Stenilroy has not scored in 7 consecutive matches. Both sides will need to get their scoring form back up to standard if they are to make much progress in the Champions League.
Even More Goalless Druidans
As far as the Champions League is concerned, top guns Cranbury United and Parkville FC are having no trouble keeping clean sheets. No problem at all. Unfortunately, Druidans don't seem to be too keen on attacking. Yes, it is true, in all four games involving the Druidan sides so far, there have been a grand total of no goals! Not one!
The people of Druida weren't particularly interested in international club football before, but that was because Druidan teams always seemed to lose straight away, meaning interest was lost straight away. However, now they just find it boring.
For their next games? Expect them to be 5-4 thrillers, both of them, just for old times' sake.

Kick Start frog nets a Hat-trick, but it wasn't enought to prevent defeat in 9 goal thriller!
It was a calm day at the Jurai’alheim Clans home stadium, which hid the chaos of what was to come. Jurai’alheim Clans started out stronger, netting 2 goals in the first 12 minutes. The defence looking relatively poor, and keeper at fault for the second goal.
The moles pushed back, and for the next half hour, dominated possesion but could not score. Seconds from half time, Jurai’alheim Clans scored again to take a commanding lead into half time.
Half time came and went, and Jurai’alheim Clans started where they left off, again scoring 2 soft goals to take a 5-0 lead. The manager turn things around a bit, making 3 subs and the game turned. Shooter Mole scored an excellandt 'Consaliation' from 20 yards out on the hour mark.
This inspired the the team. Good Mole with an amazing run set Kick Start Frog who couldn't miss on 65 minutes. Strong Mole Crossed into the box and Kick Start frog buried it with an overhead kick on 72 minutes.
75th minute saw an amazing run by Kick start Frog, taking it around the entire Jurai’alheim Clans team (Including the goal keeper) and walked it into the net.
Mole City pushed for an equaliser, but it was to little to late. Mole City lose 5-4.
Robert hover said, ' An amzing game. i'm sad we lost, but in a way happy. No way could we have cheated their. When we lose we can say we honestly weren't good enough to win. Jurai’alheim Clans were inspired out there.'
In othe news from this group there was an amzing 15 goal thriller. NPS news, Moleland.

DO YOU COME FROM KARELA?

Hooray! The Druidan Champions League sides are both still unbeaten! And now they both have their first win on the board!
So why are the Druidan people still not all that interested? Well, two narrow 1-0 victories on the back of a series of 0-0s really hasn't got the people going. OK, Maxwell Chilver's goal for Parkville from 25 yards to beat Saugerties Snakes was pretty spectacular, but then it didn't really fit in with the rest of the match.
Trevor Celo's scrambled winner against Shanton Town was in fitting with a typical Druidan CL game. It means that we're left wondering why we can't play in games like those in Group 6, where there were 24 goals in just two games! It would take our Druidan sides a couple of years to get anywhere near that!
Anyway, finally, next up, Parkville go to 100%ers Earlsford Rangers, while Cranbury United head for the winless South Island Clan, bith looking to keep that losses column empty, but probably inevitably failing.

Day 3 wins for Jeruselem teams
Champions League 6 results are out for day 3. It was good day as both United teams won their games and Jerusalem United put itself back into the race.
Beersheba United rolled on not turning East as it cruised to a 2-0 win over Western United. This gives Beersheba three wins of three games and very good chance of making the next round. In fact 9 points is three times more than 2nd position on 3 points.
Jerusalem Unit managed a draw last game and went one better with gritty 1-0 win over Dennis Bears. This meant it moved to last in Group 5 to 3rd but the Earlsford Rangers lead with 9 points and they look good for next round too.

The two Audioslavian clubs participating in the Champions League are still without a win or a goal to their name.

Kutaisi Storms Ahead In Group Three
Torpedo Kutaisi seem to have turned on the auto-pilot, as they tootle along quite happily at the head of the Group Three pack. Now four points clear after their 1-0 victory over Bkojly, things look very good for the top SO team, and it would take an absolutely disastrous second half of the group stage for them not to qualify for the second round. Coach Lanny Zajdel has put their success down mdia silence and sheer determination.
"Everybody knows that I have a big mouth, but I've tried to control it during this tournament. I know that we're not the best technical team in this competition, so there's no point in shooting my mouth off and then being disappointed. Nope, here we've kept as quiet as possible, and it looks like it's paying off. Whilst some teams are running around like headless chickens, we've kept ourselves calm and composed with yoga and old Chinese riddles, the result of which is our current first position in Group Three."
The question now is how far the team can really go. There have been some interesting results in this tournament so far, so really nobody can be ruled out quite yet. Only time will tell us who will be propelled into the limelight of club football.

GANN Sports Desk: ~ Two very busy days have placed both Gaian Champions Teams squarely in the limelight. Both teams now hold entrenched on top both Groups with well over half way through the qualifier round.
On the first day, the Clans traded a blistering series of goals with the controversial Mole City team, combining for nine goals overall, and two bewildered sets of defenses, as Clans Striker Hazeim Steiner pulled a game decider at the 79th minute as well as a hat trick, along with an assist to Gilla Cassius, and a open netter to Keith Johnson after a brilliant pass at the 38th mnute of action. Goals were literally traded all match long with Steiner leading off. (12th, 16th, 27th, 33rd, 38th, 54th, 59th, 66th, 79th) The game winner was able to be held through stoppage time, and a clear lead in Group Six as a result.
The Destroyers however found a more important footing off a early 26th minute goal against Rolestu FC, and a continuance on stiffiling defense to carry the day, led by the nod to Destroyer Striker Wallance Gordon, the first Destroyer goal of the tourney, and a dangerous precedent for Match Day 5 against Shanton Town.
The next match however showed the effect of the match against Mole City, as the Clans fall 4 - 2 to a less weary Yeaddin Owls AFC team. Keeper Alex Salmim is looking shaky as of the last two matches, allowing a horrid eight goals, and the Clans suddenly have to pull their defense together to hold off more such matches. The high scoring isn't doing the Clan's defensive line no good. (Clans 34, 66) (Owls AFC 8, 23, 54, 71)
The Destroyers however found their form even more this match day, and crushed Shanton Town outright with a stunner 33rd and subsuquent 34th minute goals to suck the life from Shanton. Yet 'another' goaless shutout for the Destroyers suddenly put them in dangerous contention and a stiffiling defense to handle much of what's in front of them.
As a result of two rough days, the Clans hold only one away goal back of Mole City, and the Destroyers are intimidating with an even Cranbury United who the last drew with.
"It's hard to imagine that we could be this far along, and in the hunt for it all, just our first time in. But we'll manage to pull together and take it as far as this ride goes." Said Destroyer Wing Defender Ken Chand, a sentiment for both teams as the next matches roll around the corner.

Earlsford strikers stop prolific record.
The strikers for Rangers, which had scored an impressive 16 goals toward this point in the competition, could only knock one past an incredibly impressive Jerusalem defence.
The team isn't disappointed however as the 1-0 win keeps them top of the group. They were more than pleased at managing to defeat a Jerusalem side which has begun to find its footing and hope the trend continues.
The solitary goal came just minutes after half-time when a pass from Apple found its way over the defence in an only-just-onside fashion before Winthrip latched onto it and slotted the ball in from just inside the area.
After continuously great performances a pay rise may be in the future for the young Apple, who can only improve.

YEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to international hockey, Inbreedia has another hobby... besides drinkin'
The Inbreedia Intermediate Hockey Association (IIHA) and the Inbreedia Major Junior Hockey Association (IMJHA) have now joined forces to bring notoriety to Inbreedia and its thuggish... inbreed players...
Only problem is, they's sad.
The Alabammer Slammers, the hottest team in the IIHA, has yet to find a win, while the Atlanti Sky Chickens, led by Cherry Cup star goaltender Jethro Sharpton, are fighting hard to keep what little gains they've already got. But we haven't lost hope on them yet. The boys just returned from a 21st place ranking in their first Cherry Cup, and it may be a while for the boys from the south to win a game.
However, there is much promise for Inbreedia's Major Junior teams. The Hazzard County Bootleggers are giving as good as they got, winning against more experienced teams. The Bayouga Raiders, their interleague rivals, are trying hard to match them step by step, and seem to be keeping up.
However, Inbreedia has just had their first taste of international hockey in Cherry Cup XI. The new teams are not expected to go far yet. They have, however, been known to surprise with their blend of physical defense and speedy offensive play. More as it develops...

----------------Mole City, Moleland was hit with a horrendous Meteor Shower late last night leaving the city in chaos and many of it's outstanding structures gaping with wounds, and some crumbling to the ground. The Mole City Football Club's home stadium and training grounds suffered major damages and it is unclear whether or not the stadium will be salvagable. Luckily, Mole City have a never-ending supply of funds, so they should, one day, be able to construct a new stadium if it is determined that the current one is lost for good.

Mole City won the first leg after the entire Yeaddin Owls team had accidentally flown to Moleland, leaving only the Under-16 Locals side ready for competition. A state of Global Emergency has been declared in Mole City.

Saints Ride 2 Game Win Streak, Creep Closer on Leader
Group 3 P W D L GF-GA Pts
Torpedo Kutaisi 5 3 1 1 6-3 10

Bkojly 5 0 3 2 0-2 3
Quarua Lakeside 4 0 2 2 0-2 2
Well, the Saints have finally begun to play like the CFF Contenders they are.
Led by midfielder Predi Dalan, Bishop FC has rode a two game winning streak into second place in Group 4 as well as beating the leading Torpedo Kutaisi from South Ossetia yesterday in Jaxx.
Dalan continued his goal streak to two thanks to a penalty kick in the 29th minute to give Bishop the only points of the match, one which lifted them above Anagon United in the process.
GM Carey Lonnegin is very excited about the quality of play from the Saints and believes the team has a very excellent shot at making the second round of the Champions League, even if three games ago it looked like the Saints were already gone. Bishop plays against AS Cana tonight before hosting Anagon United in a rematch of their 0-0 tie in Anagon.

Extreme Drops Of The Road, Still Clings To Second

Marine Coast United 5 1 2 2 5-4 5
Islanders 4 0 2 2 2-4 2
Peurort FC 5 1 2 2 5-9 5
Even after dropping a home match to Vanguard, none of the Extreme figured this to happen.
Outshot early and often, Douala could never recover and hit a two game loosing streak with a 3-0 loss to Peurort FC in wherever Peurort plays.
Douala's trademark 2-4-4 schematic was basicall scrapped after their 5-3 loss to Vanguard at their own home field and it was clear the players were trying to adjust to a more defensive 4-3-3 strategy that backfired on the team. Douala Field Strategist Ybori Langton said the team was going back to the plan they love for their next match against Marine Coast United from Vilita in two days time. Coach Tyler Ulongerson agreed, saying that having more defenders with less playing time threw the team off and they need to regain their mental edge in order to stay within grasping a CL qualifying spot.
Douala plays host to Verde Mund in CFF Champions League play tommorow before hosting United the following day.

GANN Sports Desk: ~ The Clans dominate with a 3-0 popper, goals for Gilla Cassius, Hazeim Steiner, and Keith Johnson each, and a tough defensive stand to go with, for an otherwise forgone conclusion of a game by the 44th minute.
The Destroyers produce another 1-0 victory, and another goaless defense effort, the Destroyers seemingly nonporus there. Midfielder Jason Ward gets the goal credit for this one. Both teams still seem in good shape, as form continues to look good with the end of qualifiers coming into sight.
Meanwhile word from the Ascendancy High Command is that no less than twenty JumpShips and six escort WarShips will bring 600 million tons of relief supplies, a Mech/Angel God Binary along with 15,000 techs and support staff, and 400 food replicators for the immediate area hit, all to help Moleland back on it's feet relatively quickly.
"There are times that sports is literally dung compared to the real matters out there. While our teams are doing well, it's the victims of Moleland that need real help at this point, and we call on all participating nations to lend assistance in this time of need." ..said Lord Excellency Kerensky once the news hit the Council chambers.

Mole City fought hard to get a draw yesterday. Although they drop into second, they stay ahead of the other 2 challengers.
'We fought hard, and finished on level terms. We will fight every point'
Kick Start Frog scored the Gola on 12 minutes. The owls equalised just before half time, and that was that.
Mole City now face group punch bags East Island Clan today. Mole City need to win to stay clear of the others.

Roegrow In Surprise Control
Virtually Through After Home Win
Christian Briyjao sent Roegrow Athletic one step closer to a second round of the Champions' League with a late strike on the Grass Patch in another bore 1-0 win over Casuals New Osteria. After last week's 0-0 match with Jotneheim, which brought on accusations from Liverpool England that the teams were trying to fix it so that they both came through. Granted, they played an unusual 7-2-1, but that seems to be all the rage at the moment.
A more attacking formation was required against the Krytenian side, and they deservedly reaped dividends fifteen minutes from time, when a great passing play through the middle - the highlight of the day - sent Edward Clarke through on the Krytenian keeper, who shoved the ball in for 1-0.
Jotneheim Mountains are well placed in second, but are challenged by Liverpool English team Schimpol. They need a win away on the last match, after taking an important 2-0 home win, but their striker pair are confident that that can be achieved.

Earlsford hit second round running.
Earlsford Rangers have surprised everyone on the international scene by recording 6 straight wins and notching a place in the second round. In a group containing a number of respectable clubs it was believed that they wouldn't stand a chance. Qualification was deemed unlikely, but to do it averaging over 3 goals a game just seems impossible.
Dennis Bears were the latest to fall victim to Rangers as they were swept aside 2-0. It's not looking good for them as they sit at the foot of the group.
Winthrip was in sensational form as he placed both goals past the keeper. If he can keep up this kind of form he'll be sitting in a good place to be called up by the nation. The other star today was Apple, though little can be said about the young player which has not been said so many times before. He's simply amazing.

Dennis first-team returns home; reserves to play remainder of CL matches
DENNIS -- In a surprise move, the manager of the Dennis Bears has decided to withdraw the A-team from remaining Champions' League competition, replacing them with the B-squad.
This move is apparently a direct result of Dennis' Abysmal (with a capital A) performance in the cup. "This performance is a disgrace. A farce, even. We have two draws, four losses, and NO wins? Who are we playing against? I don't see Yeaddin Owls in there. No Strike FC, no Iskara Daii, no H1SR club of your choice. I mean, there are some decent clubs in this group, but we should have a hell of a lot more than two points from six matches. Eight or ten, maybe twelve or fourteen, I'd say. I see no reason to continue the wasted effort."
Harsh words from the Dennis manager, but he has always been known for being outspoken, as any BPL fan will tell you.

Mole City hold onto second plcae by beating East island Clan yesterday. A storng defensive performance, awarded with a 63rd minute goal by Kick Start Frog, gives Mole City a strong foothold on the next round.
'I don't want to jinx it, but it looks like the Moles have done it. All we have to do is win one of our next 2 matches I reckon.'
After this result, East Island Clan are out, with only one win, the worst in this very close group.

Athletic Squander Chance
[b]Three-Way Drama Atop Group Two[/i]
Roegrow Athletic had an unrivalled opportunity to qualify for the second round of the NSFA Cup yesterday, as they played IDEXO - their closest rival - away in Liverpool England. In a close match, however, IDEXO took an important 1-0 victory and are now one step ahead of Athletic.
In another match in the same group, Jotneheim United beat Krytenian champions Casuals New Osteria 1-0 in front of 18,000 in the Jotneheim Park. The match was closely fought, and the Casuals had a number of shots on Qurat, but he was just too good on the day. With nine minutes remaining, Euclase fired a shot from long range that beat the Krytenian keeper and settled in the goal.
Thus, Jotneheim are in control with two games still to play in the group. They now play IDEXO in Liverpool England, and would love a victory, at it would guarantee to send them through. Roegrow Athletic, meanwhile, are playing Schimpol at the Grass Patch, and hopefully they'll get some measure of home advantage by the fact that the Schimpol stars shouldn't be used to gravel mixed with mud.
The table:
Jotneheim Mountains AFC 6 3 3 0 5-1 12
Roegrow Athletic 7 3 3 1 4-2 12
IDEXO 6 3 2 1 3-1 11
Casuals New Osteria 7 0 4 3 0-3 4
Schimpol 6 0 2 4 0-5 2
All teams are lacking in goal-scoring ability, but with Roegrow having their last match against Schimpol, they need a win to put pressure on IDEXO for the second place. If both Streetian teams win, they go through to the second round, while IDEXO probably need to win this match to feel safe. Jotneheim lie in first place, but very unsafely, as a draw or a loss against IDEXO might easily upset them.
(OOC: I've checked the results and that is the correct table. Jotneheim have got two points out of the blue, for some reason.)

Rangers finally falter.
After a 6 game winning streak that assured them of a place in the second round place they went down pitifully to the Snakes. Granted the Snakes played well but it was evident in every movement that Earlsford were pleased to just sit back.
The goals came late in the game. The first was a crappy affair with a lacklustre brians doing little to stop the eventual header. The second, however, was much more spectacular. The Snakes forward dummying 2 defenders before slotting the ball home with pinpoint accuracy.
The next match shall be played with what is almost a reserve team, with those players who have had little chance to shine gaining a match.

Iskara Daii - Mole City 2-2
Moles needed the win here, and now there position looks 'risky' in group 6. With only a 2 point lead over the Owls, and with the Owls having a game in hand, Mole city could see the 2nd round slip out of there fingers.
Mole City need to beat the Clans to give them any real chance. should they fail this, Iskara Daii need to beat the Owls, and so do the Clans! This is a tall order for the moles, and a few days of Nail biting lie ahead.
The match was a rough affair, with many rash tackles flying in from both teams. however, the ref was very good, and no players were booked.
Mole city went two down before half time, the Iskara Daii goals being scored on the 33rd and 43rd minute. Shooter Mole scored with an excellant freekick from 25 yards out on 63rd minute. Good Mole found Kick start frog in some space and he scored a crucial equalising goal to level the match, and earn Mole city a point on the 72nd minute.
Owls ready to kick some bass
The Yeaddin Owls have given their next opponents a new nick name, after a popular vote in the Owls dressing room, with the consensus of calling them "Mere Bass" in preparation for the vital run in that could see the Owls over take Mole City and leap into second place in the group. The Owls are the defending champions of the tournament, and are ready to kick some bass to ensure that their title will not be relingquished without a good hard fight.
After an astonishing 8-7 win over fierce international rivals Iskara Daii, the Owls turned and rooted for their struggling opponents as they met Mole City at an unknown location. The Daii served Yeaddin well by holding Mole City to a 2-2 draw, and giving the Owls the leg up should they achieve victory in their next match.

Owls ready to kick some bass
*snippety snip*
Lanny Zajdel has publicly urged the Vilitan club Yeaddin Owls to avenge a number of the tournament's wrongs by beating the host country's top team, Mole City.
"For too long I've been biting my lip about this total arse of a tournament. The entirety of this competition has been dogged by biased refereeing, match-fixing and general lack of preparation. And what is the peak of this already too big iceberg? Some random crappy team that just happens to belong to the host nation is doing amazingly well for one that is ranked...where? It's not even ranked! To me, the whole thing stinks of cheating, and I don't want to be a part of it. I want my team to be recognised as a major world player, but not under these circumstances. I'm publicly supporting the Owls in their next game, and if they 'lose', I'm pulling my team out, with the concensus of every player and every member of the board. Hopefully the moles will see it clearly and play fair."

Quarua Lakeside 6 0 4 2 0-2 4
Bishop FC picked up a point today in a scoreless match with Quarua Lakeside while rival Torpedo Kutaisi dropped to Anagon...but it doesn't quite help the Saints advance just yet.
Their second straight scoreless tie keeps the Saints tied for second with 10 points but due to a null goal differential they're on the outside looking in at Kutaisi, who the Saints beat earlier in the week. With only one game left on the schedule, Bishop's goalkeep Aston Phinklon will have to continue playing as strongly as he has while the midfield and forewards need to tighten up and score at some point if the team hopes to have some wiggle room to advance. Leading scorer and NSWC Starter Samuel Kleriton has had 3 goals, but has been scoreless for the last 3 games and needs to show why he's Saints captain and WC Leader if he hopes to see another round.
The Saints have one final match to try and have a shot at advancement. They host Bkojly (who the Saints beat 1-0 there) in Bishop Colony Stadia tommorow and need Torpedo Kutaisi to loose to Quarua Lakeside as well as Bkojly (or tie both and Bishop win...or all loose but Kutaisi looses more goal points and Bishop doesn't). Regardless, a win against the 4th place team in Group 3 can aid Bishop in it's hopes of joining AS Risa (over in the NSFA Cup) and Douala in advancing to the next round and continuing the rise of Chicanada Soccer on the world stage.

A 5-3 pounding of Marine Coast United in the pristine conditions of East Douala International Field helped move the Extreme into the Second Round of the Champions League.
Yeo Wquonvghc is quickly setting himself apart as a future star of the CFF and future starter on NSWC and u21 squads with his hattrick performance today - which puts him at 9 goals for the tourney for the top-scoring team in the Champions League. Of course, Goalkeep Garrison Kellnen has not been as sparkling, having given up 10 of the co-leading 15 goals in matches. How Douala has a winning record with so many goals does surprise some, but most blame is placed on the recent two game loosing streak where the Extreme were outscored 8-3. Shifting back to the familiar 2-4-4 setting helped the team more today than expected, as they finished up a sweep of the Vilitan squad for this round of play.
Douala still has matches at Islanders and at Vanguard comming up. A split and some help could get Douala to finish atop the Group 4 Ladder going into the second round, which would look nice to the Extreme - just as nice as it's growing lead in CFF Champions League play.

GANN Sports Desk: ~ Today the club from Blue Diamond celebrates moving on, as the third representative team to move on into further rounds. The Clans however find themselves in a major dogfight for the clinching positions.
The Destroyers moved on with their two to nil win over Cranbury United, while the Clans hold their own with a standard 2 - 0 as well over Iskara Daii, but haven't gotten the same cushion the other Gaian teams have earned.
"We're the eyes of the Ascendancy. Next to the national teams, as the team from the capital city of the capital system of the Republic, we have a good amount of expectation on us, and we aim 'not' to fail that.
..but more, we just want to win outright. It'll be tough enough in the playoffs without this going on. We'll be there to cream who stand in our way for our final matches." ..said a tiffed off Coach Roger Rara, at the thought of being in a tight race at this stage.
"..but 'we' still hold the top spot, and at this point, we tain't letting go of that. Heck, the other groups were won by our respective teams, we expect no less now."
In the Clan's favor, is the day off break, which will rest the team in preparation for the final matches to come. If anything, the squad's physical conditioning can only be helped by this, as does their spirit which will clammor for the final spotlight.
"What else can be said. Mole City and Yeaddin Owls AFC have not gone away, and we have to show them we won't either." ..coming from Clan Striker Hazeim Steiner, a voice starting to sound loud and clear for the team's efforts to move on with a good seed in the next round.
"..we are 'not' going to be the odd team out. We 'will' win, and we've gone too far to do any less." ..finished Steiner.

It's the Champions league 6, here are latest results. Now, if you see lots of 0:0, it's not a typo a spellchecker gone wrong. There were lots of boring scoreless draws around.
No goals in Group 1. Yes, zip. Made no real difference as MFC and Beersheba Unit have qualified so they all were probably not too energetic on the day.
Hecia 0 : 0 Machinegrad F.C
Western United 0 : 0 Beersheba United
Group 2 is very tight with the top 3 within a point. Roegrow Athletic scored an important 1-0 win over eliminated Schimpol, while the other two contenders played out, yes, a scoreless draw. Advantage Roegrow!

Group 5 - no goals. Our own Jeruselem United got a 1 point against some bears named Dennis while the Snakes didn't achieve much in Parkville either. Status quo as the Rangers are untouchable.
Dennis Bears 0 : 0 Jerusalem United

Mole City L : L Jurai’alheim Clans
Isakere Daii 0 : 1 Yeaddin Owls AFC
Hey look, no goals again. Status quo. The Destroyers can relay while Rolestu FC and Cranbury United have to get the win they need. Group 7 will be decide by the last games.

DATELINE: Jhanna, Starblaydia
We're here in a downtown suburb of Starblaydia's Captial city, home to the most famous team ever to have come out of Starblaydia. The suburb is Iskara, and the team are Iskara Daii (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Iskara_Daii).
Or so you might think.
Thanks to the latest installment of the Champions' League, all the signs, merchandising, flags, scarves and trophies may well have to be re-named. The Moleland authorities have insisted on saying the Daii are from 'Isakere', despite being informed on multiple occasions that the correct spelling is 'Iskara'.
The Daii have confirmed that no more press statements will be released by their media department until this error is rectified. However, due to the team's poor performance in the Champions League, there may not be too many more occasions to put out any press releases out.

~ Republic souls of a venemous wrath ~
GANN Sports Desk: ~ I'm for one glad I'm not outside right now. As you may have heard from our news service broadcasts, a massive demonstration by Republic citizens, at least 25,000 strong, is still going on outside in the capital city, and as we can tell, all 'over' the Ascendancy as well.
The draw and vitural advancement of the Blue Diamond Destroyers was well celebrated on that planet's capital and worldwide, but here at home, the 'lack' of news of the match between the Clans and Mole City has made an already rilled citizenry now stoked like those you see on terran football matches.
Avian Lord citizen: "~ If they're not going to either play fair, or even act honorably, then what the **** are we doing there in the first place? ~"
Angelic soul: ":: I have to say, even I am dismayed at the lack of composure in this tourney. We'd rather lose with honor that be blinded like this. ::"
Gaian femaile citizen: "They had 'better' be glad we don't use lawyers in the Republic, or we'd be flooding this tourney with them!"
Snow Eagle Mechwarrior: "I'm going to petition to have my Khan send a Trinary and teach these impudents the price of dishonoring us like this!"
As you can see.. *teardrop* ..our citizens are quite.. 'irked' by this all, and we hope that whoever is running this tournament will come to their senses. Heck at least before the demonstrations pick up in angry song again. *wringing her left ear out* ...it's pretty loud as you can hear.

Bishop Eckes Out Win, Now Waits

Anagon United 7 2 5 0 2-0 11
Bkojly 7 0 4 3 0-3 4
Quarua Lakeside 7 0 5 2 0-2 4
The Saints snapped a scoreless streak and took advantage of Kutaisi's tie and Anagon's off day to sit atop the Group 3 ladder...if at least for one day.
Midfielderbackup Forrester Yolen broke up the scoreless match with 17 minutes left. The Saints defense held surprisingly well at home, giving them their lone sweep of the first round and making the life for the Saints a tad more tense going into the final matches, in which Bishop will be off for.
The win helps Bishop finish with an excellent 3-4-1 record and 13 points. With Kutaisi and Anagon playing tommorow, it could get interesting. Torpedo Kutaisi will be heading off to Bkojly while Anagon United tries out Quarua Lakeside. A loss or tie by either Kutaisi or Anagon will get the Saints into the Second Round...and with the scorelessness that seems to be hitting th Champions League hard, the Saints just might luck out.

Douala Gets Another Win, Preps For Final Battle

Peurort FC 8 1 5 2 5-9 8
Marine Coast United 7 1 3 3 7-9 6
Islanders 7 0 3 4 3-8 3
The Extreme proved they like the road with a 3-1 thrashing of Islanders today, moving into a tie for first place heading into their final match against fellow qualifier Vanguard Eagles.
Yeo Wquonvghc continues to be the bright light for Douala, as he scored two goals in the Islanders home field and is looking more and more like the player the Extreme hoped he would be when he was signed three years ago. Extreme officials are hoping Wquonvghc continues his impressive goal streak (7) into the match against Vanguard, who beat Douala 5-3 at home earlier in the first round. A win or tie will give Douala the Group 4 title either straight out or on goal diff (Vanguard is at +5, Douala is at +7).
Officials from fellow CFF CL member Township was on hand for the match. Rumor has it several Extreme players have become interesting to the Stallions and we could be seeing a trade very soon. Foreign officials from undisclosed countries are also impressed with Wquonvghc's play and he could be jetting off for lands unknown very soon as well.

Roegrow Wins, But Can Still Go Out
Mountains Have It In Their Own Hands
With a 0-0 draw (as was the usual result in the Champions' League yesterday), Jotneheim Mountains are nearly through to the second round of the Champions' League, needing only a win over Schimpol in the last round to secure their place. It wasn't a particularly exciting match, but Roman Bingk had a couple of chances that he could have converted, had he been more lucky. However, IDEXO now have a relatively simple home game with Casuals New Osteria, in which they need a 2-0 win to be assured of qualification - in which case they'll take out Roegrow Athletic, who won 1-0 at Schimpol yesterday.
The Roegrow team will be watching on the clacks with great excitement, knowing that their fate isn't in their hands anymore after they squandered their chances. Nevertheless, at least one Streetian team will reach the second round, and from there on it is direct knock-out (with a lot of 0-0 draws after two legs predicted) - so anything can happen.

GANN Sports Desk: ~ If you want an indicator of how Gaians feel now, that MD8 result, even if it hadn't been a victory, was like a ton of air being exhaled all at once. As a result, the demonstrations have outright died.
"Hey, it's great we won. But just 'knowing' was the important part." ..said one passerby that had once been like a hound with rabies. Now the fans can rejoyce, despite the Techs bowing out in the second round, that 'all' four teams made it into the second round on their first try, 'and' won their respective groups doing it.
But the Clans got a MAJOR scare when they lost for a second time to Yeaddin Owls AFC 2 - 1, just scrapping by on GA. There's still controversey over that one even here, but still the eyes now shift to the kockout rounds. The Destroyers meanwhile scoot on in, with a strange record. 4 wins and 4 draws, and 'no' goals allowed in competition play.
"Wow, I did that too?" ..said Destroyer Keeper Shen Tau-Shi, who didn't allow a single goal, though the second round will have something to test even further with.
"We're just glad we're in, if we see the Owls again, we'll have something to gun for. But for now we're just going to prep for the next round like any other match we play." ..Yandar Sigel, the Destroyers Coach commented.

Mountains Through, Face Jerusalem
Roegrow Cruelly Eliminated
Roegrow Athletic could only watch yesterday as IDEXO and Jotneheim Mountains contrived to send them out of the NS Champions' League. IDEXO needed a 2-0 victory at home to Casuals New Osteria, and that's exactly what they got, while Euclase scored two goals for Jotneheim to propel them to a 2-1 victory over Schimpol away. Jotneheim, having won their group, now face Jerusalem United in the second round - an intriguing match-up, as United are struggling to find form while Jotneheim are unbeaten so far in the Champions' League. Their coach said that "we have to go for a result now, and not style," which caused an outcry from conservative football-critics such as national coach Christine Andrews and Department of Sports senior consultant Helen Carpenter. Ms Carpenter said that this attitude was exactly what brought on the fan decline of the national team, and she struggled to see what club teams could earn "from playing like a bunch of Karelan 13-year-olds". The manager for Jotneheim Mountains, Calcium-carbonate, declined to comment.

CL6 2nd Round results, part 1
The first leg of 2nd round Champions League score are out.
Beersheba United grabbed a goal to win against the dangerous Vanguard Eagles and held them scoreless. It was a tight game and not the goal spree, but Beersheba United always play that kind of game. This may prove decisive if the 2nd leg is a draw.
Jerusalem United got hit by Jotneheim Mountains AFC 3-1 in a disappointing loss. The mountains were too hard to climb and the goal deficit will be a real problem for the 2nd leg. Jerusalem really need win big now, like 3-0 or it's curtains.
Machinegrad F.C. who were 2nd to Beerseheba in Group 1, played out an exciting 4 ALL draw with Douala in the game of the round.
What's happened to the Earlsford Rangers who scored 20 goals in 8 games?
They drew Anagon United NIL ALL in game which should have much better.

Ic:
Rangers progress, but flair seems to be lacking.
After an initial run of 6 wins on the trot Earlsford Rangers seem to have hit a wall, recoirding 2 draws and a loss in their last 3 games.
The latest disappointment came in the first leg of the last 16, where the Rangers met a resiliant Anagon United side, and all the could be scraped for the second leg was a nil-nil draw. This is a disappointment for a team which has spent the tournament knocking in goals from all over the place.

Bishop Preps for CFF Barclay Cup as it Misses Second Round
The Sanits knew it would be interesting if they could make it, but Kutasis and Aragon both won their games which leaves Bishop FC to wait a week before facing North Coast of Eastentown in the Second Round of the CFF Champions Barclay Cup.
Bishop, who will be in the SuperLiga first division for the CFF, is expected to practice this week while officials head to the Gaian Asendancy, Jerusalem and over to Douala to watch international squads and see if there may be some players the Saints are interested in purchasing for next seasons' squad. Rumor has it Bishop is hoping that a couple players from Jerusalem United and Machinegrad F.C. might be willing to play in Chicanada.
As expected the CFF has approved Bishop FC to join AS Risa, Ashley and FC Finnegann as the NSFA/CL teams in the next cycle. Douala elected to not compete next year and Township will not have a venue to host matches while the Grand Douala Complex is completed, so CanaLiga member Finnegann and SuperLiga Ashley will be replacing them. Of course, should Douala win the whole thing Finnegann will bow out and Ashley will join Risa in FA play.

Douala Wins Group, Scores Major Tie
Yeo Wquonvghc scored 4 goals in the last two games as the Extreme slid by Vanguard United on the road to win Group 4 and play a tough-fielding Machinegrad FC to a 4-4 tie in Douala today.
Wquonvghc scored one of the two goals against Vanguard yesterday in the Extreme's 2-1 victory. Fellow Foreward Harrison Felix scored his first goal of the tourney to help lead Douala into the second round as the highest scoring team in the CL. Garrison Kellnen finally had an excellent match in Goal, as the only scored points on him were from a corner kick in injury time.
Today, the Extreme kept playing tagalong with Machinegrad, as both squads traded off leads until Douala tied it yet again with three minutes left with Wquonvghc's third goal of the match, giving him 11 for the tournament. The match, which was watched by plenty of Chicanadans, showed how agressive the midfield line is, and that could be problematic with a 2-4-4 setup the Extreme play with.
Douala now travels to Machineland (ooc: I think anways, it's still the left-handed team is the home team, right?) for round two and needs a win to advance thanks to goals scored. A loss will send Douala to wait a while before playing the in the CFF Barclay Quaterfinals.

~ Still playing like Champions ~
Blue Diamond Destroyers 2 : 0 Woodstock Wild
Jurai'alheim Clans 2 : 1 IDEXO
GANN Sports Desk: ~ The 1st Leg of the Second Round was a cheer across the board for two more of the Core Worlds squads.
The Clans hold a one goal differential, and the Destroyers continue to not allow goals on the way to stopping their competition cold. As a result, both teams sit ready to move on to the Quarters, but still remain focused on the tasks at hand.
The Clans had to make up ground after a quick 1 - 0 deficit at the 23rd minute, but their play made up for it with goals at the 44th, and then a killer at the 67th. Still they have to play their best to keep their place amid a rough match to come.
The Destroyers have no such worries, and still simply play like the walls of Blue Diamond that make up their cities on that world. Immense and impenetrable.
"Still looking good, and we 'aren't' going to blow this chance either." Coach Yandar Sigel commented, ensuring that his team will be focused on the second leg. The Clans also will be as much, thanks to their sttus amid all the Republic squads watching.
"We have too much to show in pride for our souls." Keeper Alex Salmim mentioned after the Clan's match with IDEXO.

Douala Takes Road Win To Quaterfinals
*note: I assume it's a road win. If it isn't then I shall edit*
Foreward Harrison Felix played grand champ for Douala today, as he scored a hattrick of his very own to give the Extreme a 3-2 victory over Machinegrad FC and a trip the CL Quaterfinals.
Play against the very defensive Machinegrad side was tough as the Extreme stuck to their 2-4-4 plan while subbing three more agressive midfielders with more defended-minded midbacks. The plan worked well in the second half, as the Midbacks and Defenders helped preserve a second half shut out while Douala, under Felix's kicking power, stormed back from a 2-0 hole from the first half. Two of Felix's goals came off of penalties and the game winner came three minutes from the end of the match off a header from Yeo Wquonvghc.
The win moves Douala to the Quaterfinals, joining them with Jerusalem United, Yeaddin AFC, Blue Diamond, Torpedo Kutasis, IDEXO and Beersheba United. Anagon United and Earlsford are still in a deadlock and will have to wait and see who moves on from their grouping. We will find out tommorow who the Extreme face in the QFs.
buuuuuuuuuu, we out. I hope in next CL edition will be better. :)

Another no goal match. What happened?
Rangers once more took to the pitch against the impressive Anagon United side. The match passed by as quietly as the first, with fans become irritable and leaving early in a number of cases. Attack after attack failed to break the Anagon defence, with the Rangers defence holding just as strong.
Thus, with no goals scored in either match, extra time was added. This put fire into an Earlsford team which had been lagging for much of the seconf half. they passed the ball with style before slotting the ball home on 107 minutes.
A place in the quarters beckons with many strong teams vying for the Champions league. Rangers fans are pleased that their team is among them.

Kutaisi Proceed to Quarter Finals
After scraping through the group stage in first place, Kutaisi took on Druida's Cranbury United in what was deemed to be a pretty tight match. The game lived up to it's standard, the first leg in Kutaisi ending 2-1. Tuason scored both goals, and Kutaisi looked to be in control until a last-gaps goal from United put the tie on a knife's edge. Under the away goal rule, Cranbury Unietd just needed a 1-0 win at home to progress.
Luckily for Kutaisi, the 0-0 curse that has plagued this competition struck again. Both teams failed to scorein Druida, and Kutaisi went through 2-1 on aggregate. Coach Lanny Zajdel had this to say:
"I always knew my team would compete, but to get this far has been a dream come true. We've had to beat some good sides to get this far, but we've always risen to the challenge. I set us a target of the quarters. Now let's see how much we can surpass that by."

~ Two on the move ~
Woodstock Wild 0 : 1 Blue Diamond Destroyers
Destroyers win 3 : 0 on aggregate
IDEXO 0 : 1 Jurai'alheim Clans
Clans win 3 : 1 on aggregate
GANN Sports Desk: ~ The sound you hear is the march of two teams, suddenly gaining more and more hunger to win with each miniute that passes in their matches.
Both Republic Core Worlds Teams essentially shut down their respective opponents with neither team allowing a goal in the second round, second leg today.
Off the continuing brilliant play of Clan's Striker Hazeim Steiner, IDEXO was shut down resolutely with a choking defense, and a goal by said Clan star in the 56th minute, with the goal literally killing the life out of the IDEXO home crowd.
"One of my nicer shots on goal." Steiner commented simply, as the Clans look with 'very' deep relishment at the next round.
The Destroyers meanwhile are becoming frightening, as 'still' not a single goal allowed in competition play, and a early 23rd minute strike from Wallance Gordon of the Destroyers, sealed the deal here as well. Apparently it no amount of crowd noise or distraction is getting through to either team, and the Destroyer Defensive corps simply seems to see the opposing teams as raw meat, with their defense just stiffiling.
"I wish the Techs could have gotten to this point, but even so, three teams this deep in, the Clans and ourselves, and the Sentinels looking at a possible Cup final, you tell me how far dreams can go.
..when you find out, we'll probably already have reached it.
..and 'now' I know how the Seraphims felt at this point of the Cup of Harmony." Coach Yandar Sigel put eloquently. "And both our sqauds in the Campions Cup still isn't feeling the wear either." ..put with a tone of a hunter.

Mountains Defeated On Away Goals
All Streetian Teams Out Of International Competitions
Despite romping through the group stage unbeaten and playing nine games without a loss, Jotneheim Mountains came to a sticky end in Jerusalem yesterday as they failed to defend a 3-1 lead from the first leg - their first loss in ten international matches.
It was really a shock - the Moleland hosts had set them as favourites, and they evidently couldn't handle that pressure. Struggling to set the tackles, Jerusalem United got easy challenges in, and with two goals in the first half, they controlled their way to an away goals victory.
Helen Carpenter of the Streetian Department of Sports was "disappointed" with the way Streetian sides had played in this Champions' League and NSFA Cup, and said that at "a large part of the profits from World Cup 21 will be ploughed into club football to strengthen the Streetian League. In particular, we are hoping to secure more foreign talent."
With an envoy being sent to Bedistan to approach the "unattached" players, it is quite possible that the 1730 season will see a massive influx of foreigners to the Compound League - something which can only strengthen the clubs, but the question is where the national players will stand in such a league.

Douala Slips Up In South Ossetia
*note: I assume it's a road game*
Forewards Harrison Felix and Yeo Wquonvghc played an excellent match, scoring three goals on the road against Torpedo Kutasis, but it wasn't enough as the Extreme let two goals slip by within five minutes of the end of the match and lost 5-3 on the road, setting up a crucial match tommorow if they hope to move on to the semifinals.
Backup Goalkeep Harris Oleander played an excellent match besides the five goals, as he stopped 17 other shots as the Extreme Defense and Middies seemed slightly off during the match even while they had adapted to the more defensive Middie lineup in their match against Machinegrad.
Coach Tyler Ulongerson has hinted he is planning to go back to the very agressive style of play for tommorow's game in Douala in hopes of upping their goalscoring capabilities.

Hoot Hoot Whooooo is Hooty Hooterton?
Hooty Hooterton scores!!!!!!!!! OWLS WIN!!!!!! OWLS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!
What a marvelous goal by Hooterton! That's the golden goal and the Yeaddin Owls have won their second champions league title, in just their second attempt! Everyone is running to Hooterton who is wheeling away in celebration! Remember this name folks! Hooty Hooterton has scored the goal that has returned the Champions League crown to Yeaddin!!!!!! The fans all around the stadium are chanting! Hooty! Hooty! Hooty! Hoo..
"Hooty!!! Wake up darling it's time for school, come on I've made you some breakfast you're going to be late."
Hooty gave his eyes a good rub and stumbeled out of bed
"I don't wanna go to school today ma, can't I call in sick, The Owls are playing today I want to see the game."
Hooty knew his mother would not grant him this wish, as was the norm whenever the Owls were playing during the school day.
"Oh, it's the champions league isn't it now then snookies, I'm sure they'll do just fine without you, I'll be sure and tape the game for you so you can watch it when you're back don't you worry"
Hooty got the answer he expected, and resumed the task of putting on his attire for the day. He pulled up his official Maroon and Silver Owls socks, above his knee cap and then curled back down to reveal the word "OWLS" hidden strategically on the flapped section of the sock. Going through his closet, Hooty widdled past a plethora of uniforms, the outdated Soler and Appolloni kits, there went Malaino Mumamba's and hot shot Bedistani Alejandro Vantrease's number 17 was also overlooked. On this day, Hooty had gone with an old classic.
"Ahhh, Calaesa, the lucky kit, couldn't wear anything else, not today, not during the champions league."
Hooty clearly remember the last time the Owls were in the Champions League, they looked to be heading out of the competition, and feeling a bad vibe, Hooty ran into his closet and switched shirts. He quickly grabbed Calaesa Mitaroka's #21 kit and threw it on, and the Owls came back to win from behind and advance, eventually going on to win the competition. Hooty wore the #21 kit for every remaining match of the 5th NS Champions League, right up through the moment the Owls clinched the championship.
"We've got a 1-0 lead going into this leg, with this shirt on, we can't lose. Not today"
Hooty grabbed his school bag and scurried down the stairs. He was already running late.
"Don't forget your breakfast honey!"
Too late, Hooty was already out the door and on his way to class. But all he could think about were the Owls.

~ Republic Rivals at War ~
Quarters:
1st Leg - W
Jurai'alheim Clans v. Blue Diamond Destroyers (2 - 1)
GANN Sports Desk: ~ It's unknown that if they had been slated for the finals to see if the Destroyers were really impenetrable on defense, but nevertheless the end result seemed to be, that only a Gaian team could bring down another Gaian team in this Champions Cup.
"We approached this game like any other. But that went out the airlock as soon as the pitch on Jurai`alheim was put to peds." ..from Coach Roger Rara, as when his squad hit the field of play, the jammed crowed of Clan Angel Destiny Stadium erupted with color and song.
And the two teams throttled at each other, literally from the start. Already they are old Core Worlds rivals, and that was only upped in tempo as the two sides sought to prove which would attempt to bring home the Champions Cup.
Jurai`alheim Starters:
Keeper: (Home Guard)
GK: Alex Salmim
Defenders: (Shield)
RWD: Crimond Galantry
LWD: Carlos Vivian
CD: Ti Shal Wei
Midfielders: (Armor)

CFM: White Kerensky
CRM: Jason Masaki
Strikers: (Sword)
LF: Gilla Cassius
RF: Hazeim Steiner
CF: Keith Johnson
vs.
Blue Diamond Starters:
Keeper: (Home Guard)
GK: Shen Tau-Shi
Defenders: (Shield)
RWD: Shei Kotaro
LWD: Ken Chand
CD1: Red Po
Midfielders: (Armor)
LW: Adrador Kentaro
RW: Sildon Cobb
CFM: Patrick Kerensky
CRM: Saloam McKenna
CLM: Jason Ward
Strikers: (Sword)
LF: Wallance Gordon
RF: Artris Kamiki
It began with a strong midfield push by the Clans, far too used to the Destroyer style of play to be thwarted so easily by the defensive playmaking of the Destroyers. For the first seventeen minutes, the Clans pressed hard into the cloisterd Destroyer backfield. Clan Midfielder White Kerensky challenged Destroyer Midfilder Patrick Kerensky directly, both having a history of rough matches against each other both in League and in friendly play. They didn't dissapoint, as both grabbed and wrestled each other for the ball when chances came, and this time around, the advantage seemed to be with the Clans.
It didn't seem that way at first however, as a sudden snap intercept of a Clan pass by Midder Jason Ward allowed him to send a strong counter pass deep to Destroyer Forward Artris Kamiki, who managed to shake off Clan Defender Crimond Galantry just long enough to strike the ball hard at Clan Keeper Alex Salmim. However the Keeper blocked the ball off deftly, but 'that' was caught and second chanced by Destroyer Wallance Gordon, who kicked it home for the 19th minute goal, and a literal one sided shift in crowd chants to the Blue Diamond stands. 1 - 0 Destroyers.
That was 'very' quickly answered in the 21st minute, as Clan Striker Hazeim Steiner took the face off, passed the ball to the Clan Midders, and then put himself in position for a gorgeous header off a high pass from Clan Midder White Kerensky, beating off Patrick Kerensky, almost literally, and with the pass, Steiner knocked it past Destroyer Defender Ken Chand and Keeper Shen Tau-Shi for the equalizer, one that SHOT the chants the other way in the stands a split second later.
The match turned rough for the remainder of the half, as both sides literally tried to wear each other down, as well as out play each other, even trying to trcik each other. Meanwhile the two crowds became more and more partisain, chanting counter song at each other's loyalists with more passion.
The second half essentially ground into the same result, with the summary moment coming at the 77th minute, as the Clans finally found the niche to crush the Destroyers with. White Kerensky again is the catalyst as he doubled up with Jason Masaki upon Destroyer Midder Saloam McKenna, leaving a suprised Patrick Kerensky, and disrutping a pass from Destroyer Defender Shei Kotaro. That led to an interception sent long and hard the other direction to Sherrill Kamiki who then shot the ball high, and again of all people, and 'literally' from nowhere (depending on holo-cam view) Striker Hazeim Steiner comes in and SMACKS a second header past Shen Tau-Shi, and the result said by the Clan crowd supporters themselves.
The whistle with two extra to stoppage, lent a large deflation of air to the Blue Diamond balloon.
"We lost, so there. But they had to earn it that's for sure. We won't be so giving the second time around here." ..a less than amused Patrick Kerensky quoted, while pointing at White Kerensky as both squads left the field.
A more calm Yandar Sigel had this to say about the match. "You want good play, we brought it. You want 'better' play, wait till the second leg."
"If they want to talk that way, we can play 'just' as hard as tonight the second time round." Coach Roger Rara commented with the words above. Apparently they are using the emotion of the moment to stoke their teams even more as they prepare for the second leg or this suddenly blitering series.
"Hey, he played me like a bastard as well. If he wants to up the rivalry like that, in 'that' way? I can oblige him." Midder White Kerensky said to reporters.. "..as for that pointing? He better do more than 'point' if he want to beat me off the ball when next we meet."
*Reporter takes a calming breath* ...glad I can enjoy this as a fan and a reporter, because I don't have what they do with 'that' kind of emotion. As it is, the match now moves to Blue Diamond Mechty Eternal Pitch, and a similar rabid crowd is expected.
For the first time, the outsiders of international soccer, have now seen how brutal the Republic teams treat each other.
Heck, this is actually 'civil' actually, outsiders should see the unsanctioned friendlies that take place between Tourman units. =oO=;;;;

Owls await Semi-Final Draw
-------------------After a less than impressive start, the Yeaddin Owls have now returned to the Semi-Finals of the Champions League, regaining their role as favorites to retain their title as the best club side in all of Nationstates that they first earned in Kaze Progressa in the 5th Champions League Incarnation. The Owls slowly regained form in the group stage and qualified at the expense of the host nations pride and joy, Mole City. The owls have since progressed through the knockout stage, and have earned a 3-1 aggregate victory over Jerusalem United. The Owls unconvincingly took the win in the first leg 1-0, and were on edge for the second leg. Jerusalem gave the Owls a scare early, levelling the tie at 1-1 on aggregate with an early goal and taking that scoreline into halftime.
-------------------Bedistani Striker Alejandro Vantrease gave the Owls some breathing room just after the restart with a powerful volley that any striker would be proud to claim. Jerusalem would not back down, however, and Delain Falcon had his work cut out for him as the match progressed. However, the Owls sealed their place in the semi finals against the run of play, after Malaino Mumamba's hard work in the corner had won the Owls a corner. Vilitan National defender Ricky Ezis rose highest 8 yards out and flicked a crafty header just inside the far post to the dismay of the Jerusalem support, and putting the final stamp on an otherwise exciting tie.
-------------------The Owls are now expecting a matchup with Jurai'alheim Clans, although they are wary of the threat that a matchup against a team such as Douala would bring, as they are well aware of the success Douala has gained against Vilitan League Champions Marine Coast United.

2nd Leg - D
Blue Diamond Destroyers v. Jurai`alheim Clans (0 - 0)
(Jurai`alheim wins 2 - 1 on aggregate)
GANN Sports Desk: ~ For a nil match with no scoring marks made, the match acted more like a defensive war fought on a plain of 'real' battle.
The Clans and Destroyers each took the field for the Quarters second leg, and literally have at each other, like it was an oversized wrestling match. No dirty plays were booked or recorded, just flat out hard pushing and shoving, as well as lots of pitch upturned, on a deliberately made rain soaked evening, as a Climatizer helped downpour the field to make the atmosphere as gritty and girm as it became.
The Clans barely edged a 50.9% possession rate, and that bare edge on the field helped keep the Destroyers from scoring. However the Destroyers slammed down any attempts on goal as well, as their defense fformed back up, though too late on the end result.
Clans Keeper Alex Salmim stopped four shots on goal, and Destroyers Shen Tau-Shi held off three, the latter due to the stiffiling defense the Destroyers threw up. White Kerensky and Patrick Kerensky were just as belligerent on the field this night, as on the previous, as both squads refused to back off from each other.
In the end however, with no goals scored this match, the Clans emerged from the Clan-Destroyer Soccer War with the nod to the next round. A very dejected Destroyers fan base had to watch as their counterparts celebrated the result in their own stadium.
However, a magnificent moment then occurs at the end of the match.
White and Patrick Kerensky, after the two squads shake hands after the match, then take up a comm-phone (Microphone) and then..
"Let's thank you fans for having watch us have a great match. You souls are the real winners tonight!" ..White..
"..and let's thank everything we hold dear for this oppritunity. Fortune shines on us all tonight!" ..Patrick..
And then, the two start leading the fans in a song of unity, one that lasts well after the players leave the field. For this reporter, it was a sight to see, even in reruns of the holo-vid.
In the end, it is the Flagship squad of the Republic that will represent in the glory of the Champions VI Cup Semis, and whoever it may become, will face a raw and war tested team, one that seeks nothing less now, than supreme glory, one matched by the Sentinels a few nights previous.
We have yet much more glory to see in the next few days, and whatever the result may be, it is indeed glory for all football fans everywhere.

Owls drawn against Fimble Lovers
-------------------The Yeaddin Owls were handed a surprise draw today against Earlsford Rangers from the Fimble Loving Peoples. The Owls had prepared for potential banana skin matches against friendly rivals from the Gaian Ascendancy in Jurai'alheim Clans, the team on a hot streak and clearly able to put one over on any team in the competition on their day. The Owls were also weary of the threat from Douala, the Chicanadian side making waves throughout the tournament for their upset victories and come from behind performances. The Douala side is responsible for the early exit of Vilitan Champions Marine Coast United from the competition, although some faithful from around Crosaibi have taken vengeance on the host nation Moleland as the scape goat for their teams failure.
-------------------The Owls have no injury worries ahead of the games against Earlsford Rangers, and Delain Falcon is expected to start as goalkeeper with him not being needed by the Vilita National Team as no one knows when the heck their next game in the World Cup will be. Owls head coach Kenter Surf had originally planned on allowing Ebbow Dakin a chance in the competition should any games conflict with Vilita National team matchups, however he had also expected Vilita to have grinded out 6 or 7 matches by now, and they have only competed in three, so Dakin will stay wrenched on the bench and Falcon will be in charge of leading the Owls back to the Champions League final.

~ Clans ruin Douala ~
Jurai'alheim Clans 5 : 2 Douala
GANN Sports Desk: ~ Somewhat acting off of Vilita's assesment of the Douala squad from Chicanada, the Clans took the pitch intending 'not' to have the same events befall them.
..and off an incredible early hat trick off of Clans Striker Hazeim Steiner, with goals in the 5th, 14th, and then a shocker off a set piece from Gilla Cassius, a rebound off of the Chicanada Keeper, which landed 'right' in Steiner's lap, and a brutal strike caught the hat trick in the 26th minute.
In the second half, the Chicanadans had to play catch up, and made the game interesting with a 41st minute reducer off a chance interception from the Clan's Defense. The strike was a beauty past Clan GK Alex Salmim.
However the coffin nailer was from Gilla Cassius, as he ran up the right side and slammed home the 4-1 lead. Then Steiner got his fourth goal of the day off a 67th minute strike from a beauty of a pass from White Kerensky, again catching the Chicanadan Keeper windering why he showed up.
The Chicanadans however got a consolation goal at the 88th minute as they caught the Clans celebrating a bit too much and put away the seventh and final goal of the match. If anything else, that goal made Clans Coach Roger Rara explode at his team, even up to past stoppage time.
"We CANNOT allow such goals even with a large lead, if we expect to win it all. And unless we are mistaken, we 'cannot' let such happen again, against the one team we haven't yet beaten in this Cup."
Unless there's a major change of any kind, it's looking like a third match up against Yeaddin Owls AFC.
MD5 - L
Yeaddin Owls AFC v. Jurai`alheim Clans (4 - 2)
MD9 - L
Jurai’alheim Clans v. Yeaddin Owls AFC (1 - 2)
This was the first thing that Coach Rara showed his team on a holoscreen. Apparently the intent was to change the nature of the anticipated final, from a friendly rivalry, to a true rivalry.
"We've come to the point, that with everything on the line, that the gloves come off, and then are burned into ash. If we want to win this Cup, then we have to play this next opponent like it was the end of the world for us." Rara commented to reporters.
"Let's win it all." Several loyal Clans supporters chanted heartily.
And the point of no return comes once more for a Gaian campaign.

Extreme Gets Hit Hard In Gaian Ascendancy, Looks For More History Repeating In Douala
Maybe it's the constant away games that Douala keeps facing, but a 5-2 pounding by the Jurai'alheim Clan seems to have irked the management far more than normal. Of course, the fact that the coaches played their usual game and there is still an air of hope in Douala signals that not everyone is irked.
As Douala uses the NSCL as prep for its own run at the CFF Barclay Cup, it seemed too eager to bench several starters for the game as the team falters in the first match of yet another series. However, history tends to be on the Extreme's side in such a matter, as in matches against Machineland and Torpedo Kutasis the Extreme faltered and either lost (5-3 against Kutasis) or tie (4 all at home against Machineland) only to come back and gain convincing victories to advance to the next round. Some CFF analysists as well as staff from rival SuperLiga clubs Bishop and Ashley think the team had no problem resting players after their opening match tie against AS Risa in order to better psyche the team for their dual home matches tommorow - in the morning in the second match against the Clan and in the evening against AS Risa to advance to the Barclay Semifinals.
Team Captain and Defender Terrence Patterson said after the match that team was slightly disappointed in the loss but had no fear of faltering so close to the finals: "No one expected up to make it to this point, so for us it's just icing the cake. Our main priority is the Barclay Cup." He did refer to press comming from the Gaian Ascendancy about them already expecting to face Yeaddin from Vilita for the title and said "Hey now, ya'll gotta come here first and take us of of the damn tourney before you start hanging your champions banners."
Coach Ulongerson and the club management have been mute about any possible changes in the lineup for tommorow's match but insiders from the club have said the team has no interest in changing the lineup in order to keep the team calm and ready for the Clan's next assault. Most analyists have said this might be a tighter match than the second games againsy Machineland or Kutasis but most Chicanadan betting parlors have sided with history and have Douala as 2-1 favorites to win tommorow, with a tie at 4-1 and a Jurai'alheim victory set at 7-1. Regardless, they have the winner not doing well against Yeaddin, who sites a 1-5 odds to win the tournament.

Goalless Draw Sees Owls Through
-------------------The Yeaddin Owls have earned their way back through to the final of the Nationstates Domestic Champions League after a 2-1 aggregate victory over the Earlsford Rangers from Fimble Loving Peoples. The Owls took a 2-1 lead with them into the second leg and were very vunerable should they slip up. However, the defense was stout and goalkeeper Delain Falcon was on his game as the Owls did not concede a single goal, sealing their place in the final. Former Strike FC and Vilitan National defender Ricky Ezis was strong throughout both legs of the matchup, and was particularly vital in the second leg as no Earlsford attacker was able to dribble past him on the night, Ezis coming up with a multitude of vital tackles that otherwise could have resulted in a quality chance for the Owls opposition. On the rare occasions when Ezis was unable to thwart the advancing play from Earlsford, keeper Delain Falcon was equal to the task, making no less than four breathtaking saves on the night. The Owls attack had only sporatic chances, the closest coming in the 53rd minute when Alejandro Vantrease unleased a volley on the Earlsford goal, but despite having the keeper well beaten, the ball could only find the keepers right hand post before riccocheting out for an Earlsford throw in. In the end it didn't matter as the Owls held on for the 0-0 draw to advance 2-1 on aggregate and retun once again to the Nationstates Champions League Final.
-------------------The other semi final match was much more intriguing, after dropping the first leg of the tie 5-2, the fearsome side from Douala came back and stunned the Jurai'alheim Clans 2-0, and would have levelled to scorelines and seen themselves through to the final if an 89th minute goal had not been controversially ruled out for offsides. After this ruling, many fans began to protest and storm the pitch with missiles and objects, and the match was eventually ended seeing the Clans through to their first ever final. The Final, between the Champion Yeaddin Owls from Vilita and the Jurai'alheim Clans from the Gaian Ascendancy will yet again pair up these two growing rival nations in a major competition. The friendly rivals have already met in the Under 21 World Cup, and three times, with another scheduled, in the World Cup Qualifying stages.

-------------------Yeaddin Owls AFC Head Coach Kenter Surf has revealed publically the 11 players he will start in the Sixth Nationstates Domestic Champions League Final against the Jurai'hleim Clans of the Gaian Ascendany at the Moly Mud in Moleland.
-------------------The Starting goalkeeper for the Owls will once again be 26 year old Vilita National backup goalkeeper Delain Falcón. It will be Falcon's first ever appearance in the champions league final, having been signed by the club after playing both for declasse side Akisa Surta and Tivali City FC, joining Yeaddin only after the Owls clinched success in the last completed Champions League.
-------------------The Entire Owls Defense will also be making their first appearances in the Champions League Final. The Owls named a surprising 2 man central defense last time they made the final, to counter the Rejistanian Karela style. Both those defenders, Marlian Hunial of Turori and Matteo Ollirg of Vilita have since retired. Anchoring the defense this time around for the Owls will be long time National team defenders Jaloey Afrikka and Ricky Ezis. Ezis is still one of the most exciting defenders in all of Vilita despite nearing 30 years of age. It is a very experienced backline for Yeaddin, with 33 year old Afrikka flanked by 35 year old Long-Time Vilitan defender Danilo Liguori, with former Alikki-Corra star, 30 year old Emara Laniora opposite Ezis on the right side of defense.
-------------------Another former Alikki-Corra prospect, Daniel Oram, will be making his Champions League final debut as a relaxed midifielder. The 21 year old has been thrust into the starting lineup at Yeaddin since the departure of Inaki Soler, and may be one of the few weak points in the side. Antonis Siazzu and Calaesa Mitaroka, on the other hand, are veterans of the side that rose to Champions League Glory Five Seasons ago when the last successful champions league was completed. Turorian legend Malaino Mumamba will complete the Owls Midfield.
-------------------Lai Ncube, also a member of the Championship winning Owls side, will start at forward along side one of the brightest and most prolific scorers in the competitions so far, Bedistan's Alejandro Vantrease. It will be Vantrease's first appearance in the Champions League final, but experts do not expect the recent World Cup Champion striker to be effected at all by the signifigance of the event.

CFF FA Reports:
http://img79.exs.cx/img79/376/dpa2ua.gif
Extreme Smack Jurai'alheim, win Barclay Quaters but get left out of the CL Title Game
Douala got two jobs done tonight as they first beat Jurai'alheim Clan 2-0 to give Douala a 3-0 record in the second game of the agregates as well as knocking off AS Risa and moving on in the CFF Barclay Cup Finals. But the CL dreams end as Jurai'alheim advances to the Grand Finals in Moleland with a 5-4 agregate.
The match had it's own sense of drama, as an agregate-equalizing goal by Yeo Wquonvghc in the final minute was denied by the Moleland-sponsored referee. CFF rules dictates foreing refs for international matches and the very rowdy crowd of 42,000 let their dissent be heard with garbage and three fans storming the field. No one was injured in the garbage throw and all three men were arrested for being drunk hooligans.
The match may end one dream but Douala will be continuing their dream for their second CFF Barclay Cup title this weekend against 14th seeded Finnen, whose upsets against Acadia meant no. 4 Saint Croix will take on no. 7 AC Atens in the other semifinal match in Jaxx.
Coach Ulongerson expressed pride in the team for doing as well as it has and showing the power that Chicanadan Footy has. In addition, the CFF Directorship announced that Douala and Ashley would be the representatives for the next Champions League cycle. Douala, who had been expected to decline any CFF move, will replace Bishop FC who will join FC Finnegann United in the next NSFA Cup.
OOC: Congrats to Yeaddin and Jurai'alheim and good luck in the next match. Of course, I'll be rooting for the Owls ;)

GANN Sports Desk: ~ "We might play rough against each other as squads do, but our fans sure don't act the way the ones here did tonight. A Gaian that acts that way can expect very little way in leniency by our law and order standards." ..the last part not commented on.
...since the Gaian crime rate does not exist, it's best not to mention why it is so. It's not enough to get the Gaian populace worried, as equality and civil rights is a halmark.
But the words from Clans Midfielder Mitchtell Boone was succinct, since the Clans deserved to lose that match, off of a very controversial call.
"It got past me, thrice, and for some reason 'we' should be the ones heading home. Yet this happened. Personally I wish the officials would just butt out at this level of competition." Clans Keeper Alex Salmim made comments clear, and as often as he could get away with.
The Clan squad, along with core supporters, family, and club staff, even down to the waterkinseths and laundry droids, all so that they could settle on the path to take..
...one, reject the match result due to poor form on the officiating..
...two, accept a result already accepted by the Yeaddin and Douala, though more than likely the latter only by a likely discussion the same as the one occuring now.
The first was 'only' put down after several Champions Cup officials stated they would prefer the 'status quo'... one Clans player, unconfirmed then stated loudly. "If this was a military matter, we'd challenge a Trial, and then raze the hell out of you cowards. I despise you..." ...which made the officials leave rather quickly.
As a result, though the Clans intent to make their own amends to Douala, and the Chicanada soccer community down the road, the Clans finally relented and focused on their Group 6, and cross national rival.
Then something interesting occured.
After a long break and a shower, ect., Coach Rara called his club back, and then started a simple holovid recording...
...one, was the scene of the Gaian National Team celebration, one that lasted five minutes..
..then the recent scene of the Angel Core Sentinels doing the same, another five minutes.
After that, Rara then had the vid shut down, and then of all things, had a Shinto Priest come in, aye, one of the normal staff and well respected, and then had the team begin a normal meditation, and after about five minutes of this, the coach said only three words..
".......cold....... pit.......... failiure."
As far as observers could tell, the squad suddenly became so uncomfortable with those words, that several had to stand and leave, a few other then standing and acting very agitated, decrying other players faults. In summary, the players for an hour derided each other, to the point it seemed no amount of control could be asserted.
..which is what makes Coach Rara the coach of the Flagship squad of the Ascendancy. A former mechwarrior that had to leave Gamma Galaxy due to a freak Mech accident with an ammount of propellant, enough that kept gene therapy from solving the ill effects enough to return him to front line duty. Though he eventually became a part time commander of the 23rd/C Republic Colony Guards, his natural aptitude with sports, and Gaian soccer in focus, gained him this prestegious position.
..one that has led the team to it's status.
..and a respect that in only three other words, killed the arguments cold.
"....we... will... win...."
Bold and brash words, but ones that the Coach has used before to straighten up a team in disaray due to events greater than the norm. As this was that time, he was very determined to say his words, and we caught ever sylablle.
"Right now, we are the Clans, the team that entered this tourney, and life three of our bretherin squads, gained glory, and for one other, ultimate glory. Now we face a team everyone else says we cannot beat, that we don't have the character, or the players to overcome.
Yeaddin indeed is from a very prestegious nation of football afficandos, we could only dream of what they probably take for granted, and hope one day to feel to match.
..but that all is NOT to affect tomorrow, and why is the query.
..one... a championship game is more than any one other match, and it is a match that places the two supposedly best team facing each other, and with that, the ranks, statistics, history, and all dissapears.
..and only comes back 'after' the last goal that belongs to the team hoisting the Cup.
We did not come this far, endure all manner of enemy, even ourselves, to come to the end of all things, and not see the glory another of our fabled teams now holds.
I showed you those vids to instill what we 'could' have..
..I said those horrid words to make you realize what lossing means, at this level. If we had been dumped out of the Cup before knockouts had begun, that's one thing..
..if it was the quarters, or even here in the semis, it would not be as bad.
But we have made it to the end. CAN we afford to lose now? Look back in your minds how you will feel, knowing that the chance of ultimate glory laid before you, and another snatched it. Yeddain is a glorious team, and they intend to think the very same, and we WILL match that spirit.
A Cup final. It's time to put behind what happened tonight.
..and put forth the 'real' Jurai`alheim Clans, the team representing the warriors of the Ascendancy, holstering the hops of the souls looking up at us, and giving dreams for the Ascendancy players of tomorrow, whether in sibiko canister, freeborn nursery, or angelic soul waiting for a shell.
We will win, because everyone 'else' says we're going to lose.
David and Goliath takes many forms, and the Final becomes another. For them, it is a Cup Final. For us, it will become war.
Yeaddin is our friends for now. But come match time, that ends. After, once more.
...focus on the middle herein. We've come to the end, let's finish the job."
The squad became very focused as a result, and agruments no longer exist. Even we have to wonder how far the speech intended to go, but one effect was acknowledged. Jurai`alheim intends to face Yeaddin with everything they got.
Jurai`alheim Starters vs. Yeaddin Owls FC:
Keeper: (Home Guard)
GK: Alex Salmim
Defenders: (Shield)
RWD: Crimond Galantry
LWD: Carlos Vivian
CD: Ti Shal Wei
Midfielders: (Armor)
LW: Sherrill Kamiki
RW: Mitchtell Boone
CFM: White Kerensky
CRM: Jason Masaki
Strikers: (Sword)
LF: Gilla Cassius
RF: Hazeim Steiner
CF: Keith Johnson
After fourteen tumultious matches, it comes down to the whole ball of gold. And the core team will be together to the end, as they started, one single team grown and cultivated from the best soccer talent of the Capital City of the Ascendancy Republic. Out of 3,000 plus Star Systems, this is the talent that will come onto the field of golry.
Now it comes to whether the final glory will beetched on the victor's Cup, as either Owls, or Clans.
25,000 fans is a blessing to the remaining fans, for that number at Moly Mud is added millions fold by 600+ million, watching this Final, even forgoing the National Team for a few hours, in the hope of adding a third Cup for the Republic.
My friends reading and listening, it's come time for glorious football of the finest, for the finest.
Let us pray for the finest of matches.

Surf Eyes Dynasty Status
-------------------Yeaddin Owls AFC Head Coach Kenter Surf has his sights set on achieving Dynasty status when his Yeaddin Owls come up against the Gaian Ascendancy's Jurai'alheim Clans in the sixth Champions League final at the Moly Mud in Moleland. The coach has already built up legendary status for his dominance in leading the Owls on a domestic rampage winning 7 consecutive Vilitan Stellar Division titles. Many have at times called for Kenter Surf to be given a chance to prove himself at the international level, and Surf was even offered the position as head coach of the Vilitan Under-21 squad, but the loyal servent of Yeaddin had no intentions of distracting himself from his pride and joy, the Yeaddin Owls, and dismissed all talk of international management to concentrate on maintaining the quality within his domestic side.
-------------------Both teams have already finalized their starting lineups, and the waiting games begin as both sides eagerly await kick off to see who will be crowned victors in the Champions League. The Owls will be playing a classic 4-4-2 formation, although the crafty Kenter Surf will likely have dished out some 'alternative' orders to his players to settle into while on the pitch. Known for his lightning tactics, Surf never goes into a match without one or two tricks up his sleeve. The opposing clans will likely line up in a boisterous 3-4-3 formation that should be easily thwarted by the Four-and-a-half man Yeaddin Defense, while allowing the energetic Alejandro Vantrease room to play games on attack.
-------------------The Entire allocation of 35,000 seats originally drafted to the Yeaddin supporters has already been sold out, and some have reportedly been offering top dollar to citizens of Moleland for their tickets, to be seated in the neutral "buffer" zone during the match. If enough of the Yeaddin faithful get into this buffer zone, it could be a nightmare in the works for the match stewards. Fans without a ticket are urged to sit back and relax in the comfort of their own lounge chairs, and avoid making the trip to Moleland, as tickets will not be available on the day of the match.

GANN Sports Desk Extra: ~
The opposing clans will likely line up in a boisterous 3-4-3 formation that should be easily thwarted by the Four-and-a-half man Yeaddin Defense, while allowing the energetic Alejandro Vantrease room to play games on attack.
"Easy? If it was easily thrwarted, then we wouldn't have won out group, much less get to this point. The 4-4-2 isn't invicible either, so let's make sure that both sides know this.
Let's not go into the match underestimating each other, thank you." ..Coach Rara commented during reporter questions after an evening meal with some staff.
Meanwhile, it seems where the loyalty of fans lie, considering note of Yeaddin fan ticket scalping. In contrast, Clans fan supporters, who would, and indeed have paid triple the ticket cost, if nothing more than to boost the local economy.
"The heck with the money. We want the experience of this Cup." ..said one Clans fan, having bought extra tickets from a Yeaddin supporter, and then inviting a Moleland family to come with him, one that was going to watch from outside the stadium. "We want them to enjoy the moment too."

~ At the end of all things.. ~
GANN Sports Desk: ~ *Scene of Yeaddin Owls Fans celebrating their victory*
"They earned it. Nothing was given, and we applaud the Owls for a match that historians of this game will be talking about for years to come. We may have come up short, but we didn't come away losers here.
Just wonder what digital quality this match can be recorded on?"
Coach Rara, speaking for an honestly dejected team, having fought their hearts out, but not being able to deliver on their Coach's promise. After the match, Rara found and shook Kenter Surf's hand, of his equal and better.
The Clans will not join the Sentinels in celebrating a Cup, but quite possibly, they have gained something far greater. There may be a rare time when 33 goals are scored overall, and each in answer to the other, with only the guts of the Owls outlasting the Clans.
And now the Clans return back to their Core Worlds league, and there hope to qualify for the Champions Cup, or at least the NSFA Cup for a second try for greater glory.

Credits to Moleland for the idea, btw. :)

Let's set it for the Friday after qualifying in WC22 ends, and a new topic be opened to not just let Vil and Moi post rps, but other nations as well that want to, since it's fun to read what other nations think of the two teams.
..which'll probably be along the lines of 'Vil is the awesome destroyer, and who's this wimp from this so-called island?' ..or someting like that. =^^=
Heck, it feels funny just having such a rp idea to be even participating in, considering I was entering the teams just for the fun of it. =^^=;;;
