OOC: I'm doing this to polish up. I'm not quite as used to sports RPs as I am war and diplomacy RPs, but after reading some the WC23 threads, I get the general gist of it. Also note that I'd prefer people who've got experience, just to help me along the way. Thanks to anyone who participates.

We'd Like to play A Match

Against You

Memorandum from Foreign ministry of the RBA

Ms. Throckspartle would be happy to bring the Two-Footers to Geisenfried for a friendly match so that your commentators may practice their craft. The side is currently competing in the Cup of Footie Harmony, but expect to be eliminated from that esteemed tourney in a few days' time. Please let us know if you are interested in a match.

If our suspected early exit from the Cup of Harmony happens then the Hypocrian FA would be happy to arrange a friendly with the Golden Eagles.

Id be happy too as i got knocked out of the World Cup fairly early.

Liverpool England are willing to play a friendly after the completion of our match against Brazillico on the 25th of September 2007 (RL 27 July 05).

(You take Everton, I take Man City. We use the result of the Everton-City EPL Asia match)

OOC: Alright. First match will be against Tonissia, then Harlesburg. Matches with Bipedal Apes and Hypocria depend on when they finish up with CoH. Finally Liverpool England when the Everton-Man Cty score comes in

First match won't be until late afternoon tomorrow (I live in the Central Standard Time Zone: GMT -6:00, just to let you guys know.)

((BTW, the result for our friendly will be, as per the match played out, Everton 1-1 Man City [Man City win 4-2 on penalties]))

Milchama would love to polish up with a few friendlies and would love to play golden eagles in a frienly match

((OOC: Sorry guys, with the BoF starting up, I'm now more busy. I can still play with some of you, but it will have to be sometime else. I didn't expect the BoF to start up so quickly.))

No problem. The apes have plenty of footie to play as-is.
