Heat 1- Chcot

Utter Complete Idiots versus GNY Embassy

The first match of the Tenth Lancre Cup got off to a shaky start as the whole pitch was beseeched by a plague of Locust, which temporarily terrorized the fans before a man with a giant Bug Spray can scared them off.
‘Booger off!’ the man said, with a strong Siroccan accent.
The pitch was in no way perfect for the game to be played on, even before the Locust.
‘A plague?’ the UCI manager told a group of press after the match, ‘our luck never changes. It seems that the whole of the Nationstates world is against us even winning ONE match. ONE! That’s all we ask for!’
He then ran off crying.

The final score was UCI 1 GNY Embassy 3

Tonca versus –Arynth-

‘Last time’, a Tonca player said, ‘Was not, I repeat, not a fluke. Just because the whole of the Lancre Cup was moved to Tonca for a couple of matches. We are here to prove that we can win without being in Tonca’
The Toncan fans were out in force; there was definitely a majority in their numbers than to any of the other sets of fans (except Siroccans). They were giving their full support to their team.
This was until a plague of frogs hit the stadium.
‘Oh for…’ The newly elected BLF President Tony Ingoe spoke, ‘I can truly see why the previous BLF president went mad’
The same Siroccan man running onto the pitch with a giant mallet saved the match.
‘Geet away!’ he shouted.
The match was a close affair, but it ended with an -Arynth- striker scoring a fantastic volley.
‘We are so proud to be going into the Quarter finals’ the –Arynth- manager said, ‘They will be fun’.
‘Damn.’ the Toncan manager shouted at us while getting on the plane back to Tonca.

The Game ended Tonca 2 –Arynth- 3

LostLotheria versus Hockey Canada

‘It’s our first Lancre Cup’ the Hockey Canada team said, ‘but we are playing to win. We’re not playing to “do our best”. Hell no, we’re playing to WIN’
‘Well we’re just playing to do better than last time.’ The LostLotheria team said, ‘That’s all that matters. That we do our best’
This was followed by roars of laughter from the Hockey Canada team.
‘You may laugh now, but let’s see who’s laughing at the end of the match!’
The LostLotheria team was filled with a new urge to totally embarrass the HC team, which would’ve gone off without a hitch if the whole pitch hadn’t been filled with a plague of Armored Scorpions.
‘Get oot of my coontry!’ the Siroccan man screamed, running at them with a chainsaw.

‘The Armored Scorpions were our first clue’ the BLF president said, ‘that these ‘Plagues’ were something to do with Dregruk. Why else would there be a bunch of Armored Scorpions in Sirocco?’
‘What?!’ the Dregruk manager said, ‘Our secret weapons have been escaping?’

The score was LostLotheria 2 Jockey Canada 1

Andrewmania versus Bongostan

The Bongostan team, who’d been very successful in the previous Cup, started the match with a small song and dance. The Lyrics were transcribed and are listed in full below.

‘We are going to win,
(Shuffles feet)
Don’t even try and stop us,
(Jumps one way, then the other)
We will smash you in the shin,
(Walks over to the Andrewmania team and wallops them in the shins)
So that you can’t win!
(Kicks the writhing Andrewmania team in the teeth)

Soundtrack available.

As the whole Andrewmania team were injured the match looked like a dead cert for Bongostan, but the surprise came when Andrewmania scored 2 goals in the first half. Just by limping with the ball into the goal.
‘Our defense, we must admit, wasn’t doing all that well…’
The second half was another well played half for Andrewmania, as they scored 2 goals. They thought it was all over until the amount of injury time was announced.
2 hours. There were quite a lot of injuries, after all.
The Andrewmania team eventually withered and fell over, to the jeering of the crowd and the joy of the Bongostan team as they scored 5 goals.

The final score was Andrewmania 4 Bongostan 5




Heat Two- Heerbee Jurraginz

Jamiezomonia versus Vtorbetin

‘Okay’ Tony Ingoe said, ‘We’ve got rid of the ‘plagues’ from heat 1. Heat 2 should run smoothly, yes?’
‘Don’t bet on in!’ a man at the back of the crowd shouted, before running away.
It’s true that the first half of the first match in heat 2 ran smoothly, to the joy of the BLF president, but as the Jamiezomonian and Vtorbetin team entered the pitch they were hit by some sudden erratic weather.
‘I’ve heard of rains of frogs, but assorted breakfast cereals? For gods sake, we’ll be picking Coco-pops off the grass for years to come.’
Most of the Jamiezomonian team seemed to be ‘Kellogg’s Crunchy Nuts’ (well it is ludicracly tasty) and were propelled by the energy that the cereal gave them.
‘We’d rather have a bowl of Coco-pops’ the Vtorbetin captain said.

The score was Jamiezomonia 4 Vtorbetin 1

---

Zamboni Island versus The Hartlot of Babylon

The second match of Heat 2 was between two teams who never made it past the heats last time, and so were both in a high chance of progressing to the Quarterfinals.
However, this match was ruined slightly because of a tiger running out into the middle of the pitch and scoring a goal for The Hartlot.
‘I’m Great’ he shouted, ‘Earn your stripes’.
He was then tranquillised and killed by several Zamboni island players.

The match ended Zamboni Island 2 The Hartlot of Babylon 3

Sirocco versus Bestiville

An uproar began in the pre-match preperation. It seemed that before the match Bestiville had snuck into the Siroccan Dressing room and stolen their boots in the hope that they really were as magic as it was claimed. This of course created all sorts of whining from the Siroccan side and all sorts of complaining from the Sirrocan general public- who were intent on winning the cup for a second time.
The Siroccan fans -in their huge numbers- then decided through obvious deep thinking that if Bestiville were to steal their boots then they’d steal all of the Bestiville team’s clothes. The clothes were hung from poles on the top of the stadium as the Siroccan fans chanted, ‘Go and get your clothes you naked losers!’.
The match wasn’t postponed, however. The Bestiville team, despite having magic boots, were obviously put off by the fact that they ONLY HAD MAGIC BOOTS, and lost.
‘Ach’ King Siroc spake, ‘We are on our way to winning the cup for a second time! I’ll become used to using it as a giant novelty beer tankard’
He then looked shiftily around.
‘Not that I do or anything…’

The final score was Sirocco 4 Bestiville 2

Gandhi followers versus Earth 2

‘Right men’, the Gandhi Follower captain shouted out onto the pitch, ‘Arm your weapons!’
This was how the match started, a bunch of ferocious Gandhi Followers arming Flame-throwers and grenade launchers.
The Earth 2 players hid behind the barriers and cried.
Upon being forced to get out onto the pitch by several of the new and improved LCOT (Lancre Cup Official Thugs) they then cowered as the Gandhi followers started their attacking formation.
‘Eeek!’ the Earth 2 goalie cried before leaping out of the Gandhi Followers way.
It looked like the match was well won for the Gandhi followers until the Earth 2 captain stood up to a flame-thrower wielding Gandhi follower. This was followed by a massive explosion.
‘How were we meant to know that Corn Flakes were flammable?’

The match ended Gandhi followers 4 Earth 2 0



Heat 3- Sil-y-Bugghirs

DTAS LAND versus Rachels Insanity

This match immediately started with a goal. The DTAS LAND attacker merely ran past all of the RI defenders and then into the goal.
‘I’ve never seen anything like it’ a fan told our interviewer after the match, ‘It must have been the biggest victory like, ever’
And it was a great victory, with a hat trick for each of the DTAS LAND strikers.
‘I’m not saying it was easy’ the DTAS LAND manager said, ‘but it was easy. This time we’re going to win the Cup, last time it was snatched from our grasp by Sirocco. Watch out Lancre!’
DTAS are well on their way to winning the cup if they are always going to win by such margins.

The match was avalanched DTAS LAND 6 Rachels Insanity 0

Umgullia versus Dregruk

One of our staff overheard a conversation before the match between the Dregruk manager and a partially drunken scientist.
‘Psst?’ the manager said.
‘Not yet’ the scientist said, taking a swig of drink.
‘Have the ‘Players’ been released from their vats?’
‘Don’t talk to me like that…’ the scientist said before taking a swing at the Dregruk manager and being obliterated.

‘Zeon needs you!’
‘How about going and dying?’
‘ZEON!’
‘Ahhhhhh!’
This conversation was the trigger of a riot that would soon overshadow the match. It may also have effected the players, seeing as the rioters soon engulfed the pitch.
Dregruk ended up winning, much as they did in their last match versus Umgullia.

The final score was Umgullia 2 Dregruk 3

---

Jothopolis versus SAF

‘I hope the rioters have been cleared away’ BLF President Tony Ingoe said, ‘Or else’.
‘Well, not quite…’ one of the LCOT mumbled.
This was followed by a screeching and a voice with a strong Siroccan accent shouting ‘Peese oof’.
‘Whoever that mad Siroccan man is, hire him for the LCOT’ Tony Ingoe commanded.

With the rioters cleared away the match could finally start.
It was a pretty routine and boring match, with there only being one goal scored.

It ended up as Jothopolis 1 SAF 0

---

Aamericaa versus Extreme Dictators

‘It is great to be back in Lancre’ the ED captain said, ‘Our recent revival has meant that our players are fresh and definitely ready to win the Cup’
‘Don’t bet on it buddy’ a small man at the back of the crowd said, before running away.
‘We really need to find out who that man is’ one of the LCOT said.
The match started uninterupted, but it soon developed into a traditional Lancre cup disaster.
One of the players went mad, ate the ball and most of the players before screaming and burrowing into the ground.
‘We have a feeling’ King Siroc apologized, ‘that a flightless Hippo may have infiltrated the stadium and disguised itself as one of the Aamericaa players.’
‘Isn’t this an example of really bad security?’
‘Look!’ King Siroc said, pointing, ‘A distraction!’

The match finished Aamericaa 2 Extreme Dictators 4



Heat 4- Menda City

Yesnono versus Fatheaded Edward

A slight scuffle occurred before the match between a Yesnono player and a Fatheaded Edward player. Apparently, the FE player had started saying something about 'Fatheads', the Yesnono player thought that he was talking about him and decided that the best way to sort this out would be to flatten him.
It was eventually confirmed that the FE player was just singing the Fatheaded national anthem, 'Edward is a great big Fathead'.
Despite this scuffle, the match was played fairly, and mostly without arguments.

The final score was Yesnono 3 Fatheaded Edward 1

---

Hoge versus Docere

'We only wish for a fair match', the manager of Hoge said, blinking rapidly, 'we'd hate to make any of the Docere players mad.'
'Bloody stupid new Lancrastians' The Docerian manager shouted, 'If they think that they have a chance of winning their first Lancre Cup -when they've only just came to Lancre- then they have another thing coming!'
In fact, it appears that Docere were so biased towards Hoge as 'New Lancrastians' that they refused to kick off at the start of the game. They insisted that the Hoge players bow before their feet and pray to them.
The Hoge players agreed, and prayed at the Docerians feet. Much to the horror of the Docerian players, who'd only said it as a joke.

The match eventually ended Hoge 0 Docere 4

---

Troon versus Hippie Dudes

'We have personally made sure' the BLF president said to the assembled press before the match, 'that the Hippie Dudes have no way of kidnapping the Troon players. None of this scarecrow nonsense from the previous Lancre Cup, none.'
Much to his horror, however, the Hippie Dudes had managed to approach Troon, Mission Inpossible style from the ceiling, grab them and run away.
'Calm as a clam' the BLF president said, 'I can truly see why it was that the previous BLF president snapped in a Hippie Dude match…'
The Troon players were eventually found, strapped to the roof of 'the chamber of peace' in Sirocco. They were slightly scared.
Their kidnapping probably affected them in some way, and they lost the match.

Troon 2 Hippie Dudes 3

---

Blu-tac versus Sliponia

'Why are we the last to play? Again?' The Sliponia players inquired to the gathered BLF executives, 'Have you got something against our total brilliance?'
'Look' a spokesperson said, stepping forward, 'Your nations name must have fallen out of the stupid chav hat that we use to draw the names out of. Again.'
I suppose you could say that the Sliponia players were irritated at the BLFs determination to place them at the end of the heats, when most people had gone home because of the fact that players seemed to regularly explode, and that Dregruk's next match was quickly approaching.
'Well we're not staying. Remember Dregruk's match from Lancre Cup IX?' a fan asked us.
'Which one?'
'All of them! Remember when they placed mines on the field? And I'm sure that they set the stadium on fire. And filled the pitch with acid'
It was a well played match, despite the small audience. Sliponia appeared to be playing in the awesome form that they used to win Lancre Cup VIII.

It ended Blu-tac 0 Sliponia 5

Lancre Cup X
Quarter Finals 1- Upand Town

Gandhi Followers versus LostLotheria

'Look!' The BLF shouted to the Upand Town crowd before the match, 'I still haven't gone mad! I'm as sane as the day that I was born!'
He then walked away, saying 'Flobberbobbercobber'.
'He's turned mad even quicker than the last one…' was the general muttering of the crowd.

The eagerly anticipated game between The Community of the Gandhi Followers and The Refugees of Lost Lotheria was an exciting one indeed.
The Gandhi Followers were rather 'p'ed off with the fact that all of their weapons had been confiscated before the match, and were seeking a rampage.
The Lost Lotheria players were just hoping that there were no armoured scorpions in this match.
They were disappointed, there still seemed to be armoured Scorpions. These were soon cleared up though, by the Gandhi Followers who merely ate them and by a particular Siroccan man.
'Get oot!'

High Punisher Hrrachen was quoted as saying, 'Our back-up secret weapons escaped as well?!'

The game ended Gandhi Followers 3 LostLotheria 4


Sirocco versus DTAS LAND

'We're playing DTAS LAND again!' King Siroc said before the match, 'This Lancre Cup is obviously fixed. First Bestiville -present Delegate- and now DTAS, the ex-delegate and opposition to us in the Lancre Cup IX final? It doesn't matter, we'll beat DTAS just the same as last time'
'No you won't, the only reason you beat us last time was that you had "magic boots" and the Bestiville players stole them!' Emperor DTAS chirped in.
'Shut up DTAS'

The match was a goal-fest, the teams seemed to have put all their effort into offensive play and none into defensive play. DTAS LAND even had their keeper up in attack.
'I don't want to go to the Semi-finals…' Siroccan player Grew said after the match.
'Shut up Grew, you whinging git' Siroc said.

The final score was Sirocco 5 DTAS LAND 4


Extreme Dictators versus Jothopolis

Well well, it looks like tree-hugging really works, for us and for the Hippie Dudes. Speaking of the Hippie Dudes…'
It appeared that the Jothopolis players had been kidnapped, in vein of the Hippie Dude matches.
'We've got to watch out for ED as well now?! Ahhhhhgggg!' the BLF president screamed, running away.
When the Jothopolis players were eventually found in amongst a sugar store, they were totally high and ready to play. It was a stupid place for ED to put them I suppose…
'Wewonidontbelievethiswerethroughtothesemifinalshowawesomeisthisyay' a Jothopolis player said, trembling slightly.

The game ended Extreme Dictators 0 Jothopolis 3



The Hartlot of Babylon versus -Arynth-

The pre-match celebration was slightly tainted by the fact that the BLF president skipped through the procession and covered the Hartlot players in custard. For some reason.
'Right' Emperor James Besty the Majestic XXIII said to the press conference, 'The BLF president has now been safely stored in a Bestiville prison and I will be taking over charge as the BLF president for the remainder of the tournament. And the teams better obey MY rules.'
'Oh dear' everyone muttered.

The match was quite a boring one, with not many goals at all. Mainly because Emperor Besty would glare at any of the players who looked like they were going to score. Or do anything exciting.
Pielza Larello, who has just retired from the Bestiville team in this tournament, has now ousted Besty from his position as BLF president. And hopes not to go mad.
'I hope not to go mad' Pielza Larello proclaimed after the match.

The final score was The Hartlot of Babylon 1 -Arynth- 0



Lancre Cup X
Quarter final 2- Chcot

Sliponia versus Bongostan

‘We just have to win, to reclaim the cup for the Athletically talented nation, what is Sliponia’ the Ruler of Sliponia said in his speech to the players before the match, ‘Let us win, and rejoice!’. This was followed by a round of applause that always came after a speech with the words ‘Rejoice’ in it.
‘Bloody well blow them up!’ was the speech prepared by the Bongostan team, who appeared to have resorted to their old unsportsmanlike ways.

The game went pretty well, it was the new BLF president’s first match and nothing went totally wrong.
‘I am very happy to be the new BLF president’ Pielza Larello said, ‘I don’t know why my predecessors went cookoo, the people of Lancre seem like fine old chaps…’
He then patted the closest person on the back. This person turned out to be a Gandhi Follower, who bit his arm off.

The game ended Sliponia 3 Bongostan 2


Jamiezomonia versus Dregruk

‘It’s the game that we’ve all been waiting for’ a J-Zo fan said, ‘Us Jamiezomonians are going to kick Dregruk’s arses.’
This was interrupted by a loud roaring from the Dregruk changing room, a sound of several things being smashed and an evil cackling.
‘…’ the fan said, before running off.

The match was just about to kick off, the players were ready and the roaring was long forgotten. This was until the Dregruk team decided to quickly change their team.
The announcers voice echoed through Chcot, ‘A Dregruk substitution, Experiment 3 is off for Evil Gnashing thing’.
This announcement was followed by a surprised ‘oooooo’ from the audience, and an evil looking creature with more eyes than limbs entering the pitch.
‘Crepe’ the Jamiezomonia players said, before running away.

The match finished Jamiezomonia 0 Dregruk 5


Docere versus Yesnono

A security breach before the match almost totally ruined the game, as another Flightless hippo entered the Stadium and managed to disguise itself as the referee.
‘How the hell didn’t you notice that the referee had… Changed!?’ asked the BLF president, ‘It was a bloody giant pink hippo with wings and stuff! How dumb are you?’
‘Shoot oop!’ a member of the LCOT said, before running off with an AK to deal with the hippo.
‘Honestly…’ Larello sighed.

The final score was Docere 3 Yesnono 2


Hippie Dudes versus GNY Embassy

‘To avoid any, unnecessary incidents, with the Hippie Dudes -You know, regarding the GNY Embassy players being kidnapped- We have placed the Hippies under formal arrest until they are released onto the pitch. No screwing about.’
This would have worked if the LCOT hadn’t realised that the whole of Hippie Dudes was intent on winning the match and kidnapping the opposing players.
‘Remind me’ the BLF president said, ‘That I’m not going to let the Hippie Dudes anywhere near the Lancre Cup next time. No one out of that damn country is going to be involved in the next cup!!!’

After the GNY players had eventually been found, tied to a small rock and dangling off a cliff, they may have been slightly dizzy. So dizzy in fact, that they couldn’t walk. Let alone kick a ball.
This may have accounted for their loss.

The game ended Hippie Dudes 2 GNY Embassy 0

Semifinals- Sil-y-Bugghirs

Sliponia versus Dregruk

The draw last night was a sorrowful one for Sliponia, as it was revealed to them that they were going to be up against Dregruk for the semifinals.
‘It instilled fear into our bones’ quoth the captain of Sliponia, ‘However, just because we’re up against one of the most successful teams in Lancre doesn’t mean we’ll lose.’
Someone then explained that they probably will lose.
‘Oh well, there’s always hope’.

‘Mwahahahahaa!’ screamed the captain of Dregruk.
‘What are you cackling at?’
‘Oh, you’ll find out. You will find out…’
He then ran off, pausing only to make a small child cry.

The match got to half time and Dregruk still hadn’t used any kind of evil contraption, Genetically altered player or bloody stupid tactic. The fans were getting worried.
As the players came out for the second half, their fears were soon retreated as their beloved players seemed to have gone back to their old ways.
The players had bear traps, land mines, grenades, Armoured Scorpions, Flightless Hippos and Bestiville Bears. The whistle was blown and the match REALLY began.

The massacre ended Sliponia 3 Dregruk 5


Sirocco versus Docere

‘We didn’t even get past the Heats last time’ Docere manager said to the paparazzi before the match, ‘And now we’re in the Semifinals? Lancre Football/soccer must have decreased in talent quite a bit’
‘You may think that’ King Siroc said, raising his eyebrows, ‘But actually, Sirocco is even more skilled than last time’.
He then did a weird hand-movement towards the Press.
‘The players ARE all better than last time’
The press muttered to each other, ‘The players are all better than last time’, and noted something down in their notebooks.
‘I didn’t know you could do Jedi mind tricks…’ The Docere manager muttered to Siroc.
‘I definitely can’t do Jedi mind tricks’ Siroc said, waving his hand around.
‘Okay, you can stop it now’

The match WAS a skilled one. NONE of the Docerian players attacked each other. It WAS a well played game by both sides, and not just Sirocco. EVERYTHING seems to be in order.
I’ll stop now.

The match concluded Sirocco 5 Docere 0


LostLotheria versus The Hartlot of Babylon

The general public were all more than amazed by the fact that either of these teams had progressed to the Semifinals.
LostLotheria were close to getting through to the Quarterfinals last time, but as they ended up getting all but two of their men getting sent off they didn’t have much of a chance.
The Hartlot may have won in the previous cup, but due to the irritating noise of Aeroplane engines revving up they were slaughtered by the Toncan team.
‘We’re quite excited’ a LostLotheria player claimed, ‘We actually have a good chance of winning the cup now. We have put the embarrassing performance of Lancre Cup IX behind us and we are moving into bigger and better things.

It was a hotly contested match, with both teams playing well and no players being sent off. One team did outplay the other though, and deserved to win.

‘I told you that we have a good chance of winning the cup now…’ the LostLotheria player said, ‘As long as we don’t get drawn against Dregruk, Sirocco, Hippie Dudes or Jothopolis in the Demisemifinals that’ll be fine’

The match concluded LostLotheria 2 The Hartlot of Babylon 1


Jothopolis versus Hippie Dudes

‘We’ve got the Hippie Dudes sussed’ the BLF president claimed.
We were interviewing him in the Jothopolis locker room, where the heavily guarded team were preparing for the match.
‘We just have to make sure that we don’t let ANY person with ANY Hippie Dude blood ANYWHERE near the Jothopolis team…’
There was a small commotion behind him.
‘I’d like to see anyone kidnap the Jothopolis team on my watch. Okay gentlemen, it’s time to go out onto the…’
He was interrupted by a worried looking member of the BLF tapping him on the shoulder.
‘Oh what do you want…’ he said, turning round.
‘Oh ****’

The Jothopolis team were found that night. They’d been flown away to the country of Hippie Dudes and tied to trees.
This didn’t particularly effect their performance however, as in a moonlight battle of endurance they scored several brilliant goals and brutally injured several Hippie Dude players.
‘What did we ever do to them?’ a Hippie Dude player asked from his hospital bed.

The game ended Jothopolis 3 Hippie Dudes 0

23-05-2005, 01:37
The LostLotheria Society for the History of Information Technology managed to archive this transcript of a recording by a Lotherian shorly before it was destroyed by a rogue toxic waste spill. (We aren't saying who caused the spill.)

"I am Sam 'Balls of Steel' Ransom, head of the LL Pinball League, and de facto sports manager for LostLotheria. I have been granted an interview with the mighty King Siroc to talk about our upcoming match.

"King Siroc, it's a pleasure to meet you. I congratulate you on having your team make it this far, well on the way to winning two Lancre Cups in a row. If it were up to me, I'd cede right now and let your team through, just on principle. But unfortunately, it's not up to me, so I guess we'll just have to beat you.

"I just wanted to tell you, Your Highness, what our plans are if we win the Cup. While we'll be unable to provide any sort of stadium ourselves for the Cup -- yes, that is a torn up passport; LostLotheria is basically a bunch of guys living in airports and seaports unable to enter a country who decided to make a country themselves -- a number of our "citizens" have great sports connections and can get top quality stadiums around Lancre to host. Not that we will win, but if we do, those are our plans.

"Anyway, it was nice talking to you, and good luck!"

King Siroc replied:

"Thanks. Uh, and there's one of those Armored Scorpion thingees crawling on your... oooh, that's gotta sting."

Demisemi Finals- Chcot

Sirocco versus LostLotheria

‘We have this one in the bag’ King Siroc said, ‘Even without our magic boots we’re in a class of our own. By the way, what happened to our magic boots?’
‘The Bestiville players stole them. Can’t you remember, you decided to steal all of their clothes?’
‘Oh, I remember..’ Siroc said, flinching.
‘Anyway, we can beat people without our boots. Just watch this…’

‘We’ve sooooo lost’ the LostLotheria captain said, ‘Even if there is no Armoured scorpions, we’ve still lost’
‘Don’t be so sure’ Emperor DTAS whispered to him, hidden in a black sheath and looking very shifty, ‘I’ve discovered how to beat Sirocco, found their weakness. Listen closely…’

And so the match started, the tactic clear in LostLotherias mind.
‘Your mam’, a LostLotheria player shouted to the Siroccan captain (OOC: I’d use the players names which were on the Team list thing, but they’re lost in the forums at the moment), ‘Is soooooo fat, when I tried to drive around her I ran out of petrol’
The Siroccan player then started crying and fell to the ground.
‘Your mam’ a second LostLotheria player said, ‘Is sooooo fat, she fell down the Grand Canyon and –get this- got stuck!’
This continued until many of the Siroccan players were on the ground crying.

‘Well that was easy…’ The LostLotheria players said after the match.
‘They aren’t allowed to talk about our mams like that…’ Siroc said, weeping slightly.

The game ended Sirocco 2 LostLotheria 3


Jothopolis versus Dregruk

The Dregruk team began the match by telling the whole of the Jothopolis stand how futile their attempt at victory would be, and how if they gave up now it would save a lot of embarrassment.
The people of Jothopolis told them where to shove their surrender.
The Dregruk team claimed that they’d have to take measures if they didn’t surrender. Measures that may include pain.
The people of Jothopolis told them where to shove their pain.
The Dregruk team gave up, and went into their locker room to plan the following match.

People were expecting Dregruk to deliver vast amounts of pain to Jothopolis, and they definitely delivered on this.
It was a special delivery, so to speak, with large spikes and quite severe burns.

Dregruk always have looked like they were going through to the final, and so they are.
‘We might have lost in the final against Sirocco, but LostLotheria! Don’t be bloody stupid…’

The concluding score line was Jothopolis 0 Dregruk 4

Sirocco versus Jothopolis

‘We didn’t get throught to the final’ King Siroc spoke, calmly and precisely, ‘We didn’t get through to the final. It’s okay, I’m a calm person. I will survive.’
He then ran off somewhere.
‘Where the hell is he going?’ people asked each other.
The BLF President shrugged. ‘God knows’.

It was revealed later that afternoon that the Lancre Cup had been stolen and was being held hostage by an unknown assailant.
‘We have a description from witnesses at the scene’ a member of the LCOT said, ‘It appears that he was wearing a crown. No, not a real crown. It was made of Crepe paper, a totally loser he was. He also seemed to be trying to threaten people with a…a…Trout’
Needless to say it was a total mystery who it was.

Later that day, the criminals demands were published.
‘Let Sirocco win the cup… Give the cup to Sirocco?… And while you’re at it, give a beer to King Siroc…’
Everyone stared to the back of the room, where King Siroc was crouching. He was also apparently holding a mobile phone. And the Lancre Cup. And a guilty expression.
‘I suppose I could have planned this slightly better…’ Siroc said, as the cup was taken from him.

The match was played in total fairness. King Siroc was drowning his sorrows in a nearby Heerbee Jurraginz bar, and so the Siroccan team had no bad influences.

‘We did well’ the Jothopolis manager said, ‘We actually deserved to win the match, since none of us tried to steal the cup…’

The match ended Sirocco 4 Jothopolis 2



The Final is tomorrow everybody. You should definitely look forward to it, just as much as I am. I already know who wins though.
It should be a good game. Dregruk have just about secured the honour of the team with the highest goal count (LostLotheria have 11 goals at present, Dregruk have a massive 17!).
I’ll be posting the results at about 12:30 tomorrow. Be there child, or I may be forced to get the LCOT over to your house and beat you.

Lancre Cup X
Heat 1- Chcot

Utter Complete Idiots versus GNY Embassy

The first match of the Tenth Lancre Cup got off to a shaky start as the whole pitch was beseeched by a plague of Locust, which temporarily terrorized the fans before a man with a giant Bug Spray can scared them off.
‘Booger off!’ the man said, with a strong Siroccan accent.
The pitch was in no way perfect for the game to be played on, even before the Locust.
‘A plague?’ the UCI manager told a group of press after the match, ‘our luck never changes. It seems that the whole of the Nationstates world is against us even winning ONE match. ONE! That’s all we ask for!’
He then ran off crying.

The final score was UCI 1 GNY Embassy 3

Tonca versus –Arynth-

‘Last time’, a Tonca player said, ‘Was not, I repeat, not a fluke. Just because the whole of the Lancre Cup was moved to Tonca for a couple of matches. We are here to prove that we can win without being in Tonca’
The Toncan fans were out in force; there was definitely a majority in their numbers than to any of the other sets of fans (except Siroccans). They were giving their full support to their team.
This was until a plague of frogs hit the stadium.
‘Oh for…’ The newly elected BLF President Tony Ingoe spoke, ‘I can truly see why the previous BLF president went mad’
The same Siroccan man running onto the pitch with a giant mallet saved the match.
‘Geet away!’ he shouted.
The match was a close affair, but it ended with an -Arynth- striker scoring a fantastic volley.
‘We are so proud to be going into the Quarter finals’ the –Arynth- manager said, ‘They will be fun’.
‘Damn.’ the Toncan manager shouted at us while getting on the plane back to Tonca.

The Game ended Tonca 2 –Arynth- 3

LostLotheria versus Hockey Canada

‘It’s our first Lancre Cup’ the Hockey Canada team said, ‘but we are playing to win. We’re not playing to “do our best”. Hell no, we’re playing to WIN’
‘Well we’re just playing to do better than last time.’ The LostLotheria team said, ‘That’s all that matters. That we do our best’
This was followed by roars of laughter from the Hockey Canada team.
‘You may laugh now, but let’s see who’s laughing at the end of the match!’
The LostLotheria team was filled with a new urge to totally embarrass the HC team, which would’ve gone off without a hitch if the whole pitch hadn’t been filled with a plague of Armored Scorpions.
‘Get oot of my coontry!’ the Siroccan man screamed, running at them with a chainsaw.

‘The Armored Scorpions were our first clue’ the BLF president said, ‘that these ‘Plagues’ were something to do with Dregruk. Why else would there be a bunch of Armored Scorpions in Sirocco?’
‘What?!’ the Dregruk manager said, ‘Our secret weapons have been escaping?’

The score was LostLotheria 2 Jockey Canada 1

Andrewmania versus Bongostan

The Bongostan team, who’d been very successful in the previous Cup, started the match with a small song and dance. The Lyrics were transcribed and are listed in full below.

‘We are going to win,
(Shuffles feet)
Don’t even try and stop us,
(Jumps one way, then the other)
We will smash you in the shin,
(Walks over to the Andrewmania team and wallops them in the shins)
So that you can’t win!
(Kicks the writhing Andrewmania team in the teeth)

Soundtrack available.

As the whole Andrewmania team were injured the match looked like a dead cert for Bongostan, but the surprise came when Andrewmania scored 2 goals in the first half. Just by limping with the ball into the goal.
‘Our defense, we must admit, wasn’t doing all that well…’
The second half was another well played half for Andrewmania, as they scored 2 goals. They thought it was all over until the amount of injury time was announced.
2 hours. There were quite a lot of injuries, after all.
The Andrewmania team eventually withered and fell over, to the jeering of the crowd and the joy of the Bongostan team as they scored 5 goals.

The final score was Andrewmania 4 Bongostan 5




Heat Two- Heerbee Jurraginz

Jamiezomonia versus Vtorbetin

‘Okay’ Tony Ingoe said, ‘We’ve got rid of the ‘plagues’ from heat 1. Heat 2 should run smoothly, yes?’
‘Don’t bet on in!’ a man at the back of the crowd shouted, before running away.
It’s true that the first half of the first match in heat 2 ran smoothly, to the joy of the BLF president, but as the Jamiezomonian and Vtorbetin team entered the pitch they were hit by some sudden erratic weather.
‘I’ve heard of rains of frogs, but assorted breakfast cereals? For gods sake, we’ll be picking Coco-pops off the grass for years to come.’
Most of the Jamiezomonian team seemed to be ‘Kellogg’s Crunchy Nuts’ (well it is ludicracly tasty) and were propelled by the energy that the cereal gave them.
‘We’d rather have a bowl of Coco-pops’ the Vtorbetin captain said.

The score was Jamiezomonia 4 Vtorbetin 1

Zamboni Island versus The Hartlot of Babylon

The second match of Heat 2 was between two teams who never made it past the heats last time, and so were both in a high chance of progressing to the Quarterfinals.
However, this match was ruined slightly because of a tiger running out into the middle of the pitch and scoring a goal for The Hartlot.
‘I’m Great’ he shouted, ‘Earn your stripes’.
He was then tranquillised and killed by several Zamboni island players.

The match ended Zamboni Island 2 The Hartlot of Babylon 3

Sirocco versus Bestiville

An uproar began in the pre-match preperation. It seemed that before the match Bestiville had snuck into the Siroccan Dressing room and stolen their boots in the hope that they really were as magic as it was claimed. This of course created all sorts of whining from the Siroccan side and all sorts of complaining from the Sirrocan general public- who were intent on winning the cup for a second time.
The Siroccan fans -in their huge numbers- then decided through obvious deep thinking that if Bestiville were to steal their boots then they’d steal all of the Bestiville team’s clothes. The clothes were hung from poles on the top of the stadium as the Siroccan fans chanted, ‘Go and get your clothes you naked losers!’.
The match wasn’t postponed, however. The Bestiville team, despite having magic boots, were obviously put off by the fact that they ONLY HAD MAGIC BOOTS, and lost.
‘Ach’ King Siroc spake, ‘We are on our way to winning the cup for a second time! I’ll become used to using it as a giant novelty beer tankard’
He then looked shiftily around.
‘Not that I do or anything…’

The final score was Sirocco 4 Bestiville 2

Gandhi followers versus Earth 2

‘Right men’, the Gandhi Follower captain shouted out onto the pitch, ‘Arm your weapons!’
This was how the match started, a bunch of ferocious Gandhi Followers arming Flame-throwers and grenade launchers.
The Earth 2 players hid behind the barriers and cried.
Upon being forced to get out onto the pitch by several of the new and improved LCOT (Lancre Cup Official Thugs) they then cowered as the Gandhi followers started their attacking formation.
‘Eeek!’ the Earth 2 goalie cried before leaping out of the Gandhi Followers way.
It looked like the match was well won for the Gandhi followers until the Earth 2 captain stood up to a flame-thrower wielding Gandhi follower. This was followed by a massive explosion.
‘How were we meant to know that Corn Flakes were flammable?’

The match ended Gandhi followers 4 Earth 2 0



Heat 3- Sil-y-Bugghirs

DTAS LAND versus Rachels Insanity

This match immediately started with a goal. The DTAS LAND attacker merely ran past all of the RI defenders and then into the goal.
‘I’ve never seen anything like it’ a fan told our interviewer after the match, ‘It must have been the biggest victory like, ever’
And it was a great victory, with a hat trick for each of the DTAS LAND strikers.
‘I’m not saying it was easy’ the DTAS LAND manager said, ‘but it was easy. This time we’re going to win the Cup, last time it was snatched from our grasp by Sirocco. Watch out Lancre!’
DTAS are well on their way to winning the cup if they are always going to win by such margins.

The match was avalanched DTAS LAND 6 Rachels Insanity 0

Umgullia versus Dregruk

One of our staff overheard a conversation before the match between the Dregruk manager and a partially drunken scientist.
‘Psst?’ the manager said.
‘Not yet’ the scientist said, taking a swig of drink.
‘Have the ‘Players’ been released from their vats?’
‘Don’t talk to me like that…’ the scientist said before taking a swing at the Dregruk manager and being obliterated.

‘Zeon needs you!’
‘How about going and dying?’
‘ZEON!’
‘Ahhhhhh!’
This conversation was the trigger of a riot that would soon overshadow the match. It may also have effected the players, seeing as the rioters soon engulfed the pitch.
Dregruk ended up winning, much as they did in their last match versus Umgullia.

The final score was Umgullia 2 Dregruk 3

---

Jothopolis versus SAF

‘I hope the rioters have been cleared away’ BLF President Tony Ingoe said, ‘Or else’.
‘Well, not quite…’ one of the LCOT mumbled.
This was followed by a screeching and a voice with a strong Siroccan accent shouting ‘Peese oof’.
‘Whoever that mad Siroccan man is, hire him for the LCOT’ Tony Ingoe commanded.

With the rioters cleared away the match could finally start.
It was a pretty routine and boring match, with there only being one goal scored.

It ended up as Jothopolis 1 SAF 0

Aamericaa versus Extreme Dictators

‘It is great to be back in Lancre’ the ED captain said, ‘Our recent revival has meant that our players are fresh and definitely ready to win the Cup’
‘Don’t bet on it buddy’ a small man at the back of the crowd said, before running away.
‘We really need to find out who that man is’ one of the LCOT said.
The match started uninterupted, but it soon developed into a traditional Lancre cup disaster.
One of the players went mad, ate the ball and most of the players before screaming and burrowing into the ground.
‘We have a feeling’ King Siroc apologized, ‘that a flightless Hippo may have infiltrated the stadium and disguised itself as one of the Aamericaa players.’
‘Isn’t this an example of really bad security?’
‘Look!’ King Siroc said, pointing, ‘A distraction!’

The match finished Aamericaa 2 Extreme Dictators 4



Heat 4- Menda City

Yesnono versus Fatheaded Edward

A slight scuffle occurred before the match between a Yesnono player and a Fatheaded Edward player. Apparently, the FE player had started saying something about 'Fatheads', the Yesnono player thought that he was talking about him and decided that the best way to sort this out would be to flatten him.
It was eventually confirmed that the FE player was just singing the Fatheaded national anthem, 'Edward is a great big Fathead'.
Despite this scuffle, the match was played fairly, and mostly without arguments.

The final score was Yesnono 3 Fatheaded Edward 1

---

Hoge versus Docere

'We only wish for a fair match', the manager of Hoge said, blinking rapidly, 'we'd hate to make any of the Docere players mad.'
'Bloody stupid new Lancrastians' The Docerian manager shouted, 'If they think that they have a chance of winning their first Lancre Cup -when they've only just came to Lancre- then they have another thing coming!'
In fact, it appears that Docere were so biased towards Hoge as 'New Lancrastians' that they refused to kick off at the start of the game. They insisted that the Hoge players bow before their feet and pray to them.
The Hoge players agreed, and prayed at the Docerians feet. Much to the horror of the Docerian players, who'd only said it as a joke.

The match eventually ended Hoge 0 Docere 4

---

Troon versus Hippie Dudes

'We have personally made sure' the BLF president said to the assembled press before the match, 'that the Hippie Dudes have no way of kidnapping the Troon players. None of this scarecrow nonsense from the previous Lancre Cup, none.'
Much to his horror, however, the Hippie Dudes had managed to approach Troon, Mission Inpossible style from the ceiling, grab them and run away.
'Calm as a clam' the BLF president said, 'I can truly see why it was that the previous BLF president snapped in a Hippie Dude match…'
The Troon players were eventually found, strapped to the roof of 'the chamber of peace' in Sirocco. They were slightly scared.
Their kidnapping probably affected them in some way, and they lost the match.

Troon 2 Hippie Dudes 3

---

Blu-tac versus Sliponia

'Why are we the last to play? Again?' The Sliponia players inquired to the gathered BLF executives, 'Have you got something against our total brilliance?'
'Look' a spokesperson said, stepping forward, 'Your nations name must have fallen out of the stupid chav hat that we use to draw the names out of. Again.'
I suppose you could say that the Sliponia players were irritated at the BLFs determination to place them at the end of the heats, when most people had gone home because of the fact that players seemed to regularly explode, and that Dregruk's next match was quickly approaching.
'Well we're not staying. Remember Dregruk's match from Lancre Cup IX?' a fan asked us.
'Which one?'
'All of them! Remember when they placed mines on the field? And I'm sure that they set the stadium on fire. And filled the pitch with acid'
It was a well played match, despite the small audience. Sliponia appeared to be playing in the awesome form that they used to win Lancre Cup VIII.

It ended Blu-tac 0 Sliponia 5

i don't get it. is this an RP?

Two things. 1: Do NOT quote massive posts to ask a simple question like that. If you're in Lancre, maybe ask it on the regional board.
2: No, it's not an RP. Every nation in Lancre is entered automatically and the results are drawn at random.

The Final- Sil-y-Bugghirs

The Refugees of Lost Lotheria versus The Militaristic Dominion of Dregruk

The Clash of the Titans
‘Mwahahaha!’- Dregruk
‘If we win this, will someone give us a country?’- LostLotheria

‘Get out of my way, you bunch of losers’
Someone then whispered something to the Dregruk captain.
‘What do you mean they’re the other team! They’re just a bunch of refugees… Oh. Good luck then chaps’

‘I saw the LostLotheria team earlier’ The Dregruk captain said in the pre-match press conference, ‘And they are the biggest bunch of losers that Lancre could possibly conjure up to face us in the final!’
‘We’re just here you know’
‘Well done. Good. By the way, if you don’t have a country whereabouts do you spend your time?’
‘Well, we spend a good couple of months in the main terminal of BAX airport, you know, in Bestiville?’
‘Right…’

I suppose it was quite a surprise for everyone in Lancre that Lost Lotheria had made it through to the final. They weren’t exactly a professional team, afterall.

The match started with a bang. This bang was followed by a scream. This bang was then investigated and turned out to be a Dregruk player who was preparing some explosives, and they’d gone off in his face.
‘Ow’ the player said.
‘Serves you right…’ A LostLotheria player said.
He was then held down by several of the Dregruk team and covered with Armoured Scorpions.

‘I’ve just about had enough with this cup’ the BLF president said, starting to go into “Mad BLF president” mode, ‘We have a really badly burnt player, and a really badly stung player. Could things get much worse…’

They could. Dregruk were in an even more cheating mode than usual, and possessed Mallets and giant machine guns. These were used with painful consequences.

However, LostLotheria scored an awesome three goals in the first half and looked like they’d won it.
Guess what happened in the second half though.
Come on, guess. It was slightly like what happened to AC Milan last night.

The new champions of Lancre are Dregruk. What is the world coming to?

The game ended LostLotheria 3 Dregruk 5




Final results:
1st- Dregruk
2nd- LostLotheria
3rd- Sirocco

Highest scoring team- Dregruk
Bestiville award for sheer Crappiness- Rachels Insanity, SAF, Hoge and Blu-tac
