OOC: Copied strait off the U21WC Roster Thread.


After a change of heart the Milchamians decided not to use their A team but to use the U21 team to give it some more experience in international competition so here it is last time's U21 Milchama team. The traditional 3-3-4 formation makes them +3.

Gk: Kyle Blard- The Goalkeeper for Wickert AFC helped them win the Milchama Cup last year and got him on the national team picture. Now he's hoping to show it was no fluke.
D: Keith Fleesh- A very young but athletic defender. Some have called him the new Mills Thompson for his prowess in the air. He can do much more as his overall play have been very promising and have helped Megan Illavsky FC get to the second division.
D: Chase Mergle- Very fast for a centerback and that allows him to cover a lot of ground in a very short time. His speed has helped the Mongolian Horses avoid relegation this year.
D: Martin Hansen- A lot like Casey Stockholm on the other side. The only difference being Stockholm is a little bit better on the ball and Hansen is a little bit better on the defensive side. Made a great partnership in friendly games.
M:Barrett M. Lonnen- Destined to be the next great Milchamian player. How can we tell? He has the middle initial that he puts in his name that nobody knows what it stands for like Marc J. Floren. Can help the counter attack.
M: Del Clufor- A little speedy center mid. Does not have the passing skills of Antoine Sanchez but his little runs thru the defense remind people of a mix between Johnny Rintell and Darian Flinters.
M: Walto Manin- Great Name. A much more traditional wing than Flinters of Kilinin but his crosses and passes look more like a center midfielder than a wing.
F: Marin Keffer- Was a starting midfielder for the Milchama B team at 15 but did not make last U21 squad because of a mistake by Patrice Thibault. This time a starter and he wants to show Thibault he made a bad mistake.
F: Kelvin Joseph- A natural scorer who was an outside shot to make the team before going on a scoring rampage for Milchama Warriors to get onto the squad.
F: Tilar Flitty- Another weird name but Flitty can play. His wonderful goals have made him a great story for the Mongolian Horses espiecially since he is a native mongol. The first great soccer star from the Mongols the pressure on the world is on him and it will be up to him to make a good response.
F: Daveed Blendelcar- A good winger, Bendelcar barely made the starting over Barrett Miggles. Bendelcar needs to have some good performances or else Miggles will come in and take his spot.
Substitutes:
F: Barrett Miggles
M: Marcus Lyles
Gk: Fletcher Roy
D: Ryan Mcferrin
F: Corey Mishert

With the release of NSFS 2.0.0BETA, the problems with the custom fixtures should have been fixed. This happens to coincide with the gap between WCs 28 and 29. As such, a big bump and reminder to Fmj, Mil and Paci. Reminder: All games home and away; 3PPO and Final in LE.

In the schdule below, Team 1 is Milchama u21, Team 2 Fmjphoenix u21, Team 3 Liverpool England u21 and Team 4 Pacitalia u21.

U21 team avenge loss to Fmjphoenix (sorta, well not really, but we're going to say it anyway)

You know what, I just came up with the greastest newspaper name in NS history, there is no way I'm doing a crappy RP on top of that, sorry for the inconvience.

Final Score:
Milchama 3 (Mergle 13, Flitty 82, 86)
Fmjphoenix 1 (Lamar 44)

Oh and yes it was a great game as Flitty's two goals in the end were from some wonderful play from Marin Keffer and Walto Manin.

MD2 is delayed; something cropped up. Also, problem with scorination: Error "7B" (I think), so Bedi if you see this, help!

We can beat Fmj quite well

Two mds went right under our noses and they went win-loss. The first one was another win against the Fmj U21s. This time though it was a 2-0 score as Joseph and Flitty both scored goals. Then we played Pacitalia but the results were not as good as we fell 2-0 down early and despite a late goal by Lonnen we could not get a draw. This puts us with a 2-0-1 record and in 2nd place behind undeafeated Pacitalia. Coach Alex Lans said, "We need to be able to beat every team in this tournament. Just because we can beat one team does not mean that all the others will fall to us. We needed to be more aggressive on attack espiecially against Pacitalia where for a lot of the first half they looked afraid. I'm expecting a better result in our next game."

Final Score 1:
Milchama 2 (Joseph 32, Flitty 68)
Fmjphoenix 0 (Let's go defense, *clap clap clap*)

Final Score 2:
Milchama 1 (Lonnen 77)
Pacitalia 2 (Marti 8, Mangano 30)

Milchama Man of the Matches:
Kyle Blard- the goalie was instrumental in keeping both games close and really earned the shutout against Fmj as he saved a penalty in the 4th minute by expertly diving to his left. The kid is brilliant.

OOC: Sorry again about the delay, something else cropped up.

People only remember the champions

That's right folks the Milchamians have won their first international soccer trophy as the U21 side beat the Pacitalian U21 side 3-2 in extra time to bring home the third Four Nations Invitational title. Coach Alex Lans said, "The lads played well today. They came out knowing that they needed to score early and then defend and they did that perfectly. When we got down we came back up, when we were up we did a good job of holding the lead, I could not ask for a better performance from these guys."

We are the Champions!

That's right just like the song from Queen says, We are the Champions, as the Milchama Warriors beat Pacitalia to win their first major international trophy as they won the Third Four Nations Invitational with a 3-2 in extra time over the Blue Foxes. The Warriors got out to work early as they struck first in the 13th minute when Walto Manin found a jumping Kelvin Joseph in the box for a 1-0 lead. The Warriors then defended as they tried to sit on the lead and were able to until the 49th minute when the Pacitalians attacked, as Marti found a running Boranogunta who outran Chase Mergle and scored the Blue Foxes first goal to tie the game at 1. The game then went to 2-1 when a foul right outside the box by Keith Fleesh gave the Blue Foxes that they converted on. Pier Ando Angano took a wonderful that ducked around the wall and right past a diving Kyle Blard to give the Blue Foxes a 2-1 lead. It then looked like they might come out as winners until the 82nd minute when a desperate strike by Barrett M. Lonnen eluded two defenders before bouncing off the Blue Foxes keeper and right to a charging Tilar Flitty who finished the goal to tie the game at 2. The game then went into extra time and we'll let Kenny Brashmen call the game from here:

97th minute: The Warriors on the attack now. Joseph on the outside as Barrett Miggles, the sub, comes inside. Joseph puts the ball in front of Miggles who gets behind the Blue Foxes backline and tries to cross, but there is Santi as he read the cross perfectly and stopped that attack from going.

99th minute: And now its the Pacitalians on the attack. Angano, the goal scorer, looking forward to Marti as he comes forward. Marti lays the ball off to de Scupeta! de Scupeta past Mergle just Blard to beat, he shoots AND WHAT A SAVE BY KYLE BLARD!. He was charging in as Scupeta tried to shoot the ball around him but he was there and made a wonderful save to keep the game tied.

100th minute: Corner now for the Blue Foxes. Angano swings it in, but Mergle clears the Warriors now go on the counter. Clufor on the ball, as he runs up to the Pacitalian defense. Terasti tries to stop him but Del picks out Marcus Lyles, Lyles coming forward as he's beaten Sebastiano on the right. Marcus Lyles, still on the ball as he comes to the box and now Terasti to stop him but he lays it off AND IN COMES FLITTY! The shot, high. A poor finish there from Flitty, I would certainly have expected better.

115th minute: The game has settled down now but now the Milchamians have a free kick. Lonnen and Keffer line up over the ball. Lonnen runs over it and Keffer swings in the free kick, a muck of heads get on it and it clears to Marcus Lyles who takes one dribble and shoots! AND SCORES! OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a shot from Marcus Lyles. 25 yards out an absolute screamer that didn't give Santi a chance. He got the ball from the heads and dribbled inside of Sonoranti before unleashing a shot that got under the defenders and past the keeper into the bottom right corner of the net for a 3-2 to the Warriors.

121st minute: The Blue Foxes desperately attacking, looking for that qualizing goal. A play in from de Scupeta looking for Vengamo but Hansen clears. And the ref blows HIS WHISTLE!!! It's party time in Milchama now folks as the Warriors have just won their first major international sports tournament!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Final Score:
Milchama 3 (Joseph 13, Flitty 82, Lyles 115)
Pacitalia 2 (Boranogunta 49, Angano 67)
